Each Deathlord gains a new ability when their health drops below 70%.
Lowered their health to account for fighting 3 of them.
Zombies will no longer spawn during the Deathlord phase of the fight to help with performance.

Fixed a bug where the Bite becomes did not have a set combat role.
Typo fix on the Lesson in Trickery perk name.

Added a daily to do this queue to Dominique Ducard.
Updated the tooltip on the Chainsaw limited device and lowered the requirements to purchase it. Also added a permanent version.
Players can no longer use resurrection powers in this alert.

The amount of Turakian Coins you can get per day from Zombie Apocalypse now has diminishing returns similar to event open missions. This resets after 20 hours.

Added a visual for when Kiga's hounds leash back to their altars.
The hounds should now properly clear their aggro table when leashed.

This is good news

However, there's still a problem with this........

Bug: The Fish Monster top accessory skin options aren't working. When choosing Skin Cloth, Skin Leather or Skin Metal, none of the colours on this piece revert to skin colour

Cool. Are there really none in Downtown, or is this a work in progress?

beerbane · October 2018

Liking the continued QOL improvements (ToTer auras, larger Deathlords, purple Deathlord locator cloud, etc) a lot! Don't forget about getting an orbiting taco aura together as a drop for the big Tako! I don't think anything would quite as elegantly and plainly state the power of a hero than tacos rotating around their torso as they battle evil!

magpieuk2014 · October 2018

CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY: The launcher is now displaying update statistics in COMIC SANS.

guyhumual · October 2018

You seemed to have moved and removed some of the trick or treaters with this last update. The auras are appreciated though.

jebidiahbeetus · October 2018

Since everything in CO is locked behind a perk wall, does anyone have pictures of the Chainsaw? I want to see it.

heartstringsk3 · October 2018

Anyone know where this Dominique Ducard guy is?

qawsada · October 2018

Felt like comparing both kittens.

pantagruel01 · October 2018

toy master should accept the purple AFs from bags (pirate captain, dweomer, maybe others?)

lezard21 · October 2018

Please turn cars off during events :<

Cars should clearly do massive damage to anything in front of them.

Over by the jet and helicopter at an outer corner of Rencen there are three Hero Games NPCs, he is the middle one.

lezard21 · October 2018

Also we want deathlord perks!!!

lezard21 · October 2018

Oh and color me surprised that you added 3 deathlords but no "as soon as you gib one of them the other 2 start getting Überschmeid stacking buff that make them do 10k DPS and increase their resistance by 30002%".

who are you and what did you do with our cat lady mom?

Heh, why not make it so that the 250/500 kill perk also reward Shadow Cat/Kitten? The Cosmic Cat was a good example of either hard work and attending the event via perk, or getting lucky.

flyingfinn · October 2018

Since Dethlörd(s) grew 5 times bigger than before. Is Taköfängs going to be larger than Dethlörds?

chaosdrgnz43 · October 2018

Did someone say big?? IS PERSONAL MAG COMING THIS HALLOWEEN????

When can we get Nimbus of Force back?

monaahiru · October 2018

The name of that new kitten is so noice. o3o

deadman20 · October 2018

Bug: Though the new score reset on Kiga appears to work, it leaves behind the names of players set to 0 score. This is more of a visual representation concern, but clearing the participation and removing the names of those set at 0 score would make the scoreboard look cleaner and help ease on performance by reducing the amount of calls for names. A minor thing, but every little bit would help.

Kais removed ALL of the old locations and made new ones. The new locations tend to be more plentiful close to Ren Cen.

She did the opposite and gave us reasons to focus fire by adding a new Uber-attack they use at low health.

As far as I can tell none of the locations are changed, it's just that their leashing distance has increased so they're likely to be further away from their initial spawn.

I had a car push me about 20 ft today, during a DL fight. It actually pushed me out of a damage circle XD. Thanks car guy, ya did good.

I used to trick or treat on the edges of the map a lot and there simply aren't any there any more. Also I don't remember there being so many at the prison or hospital. I counted EIGHT inside the prison area(to include the parking lot).

Also while there was one on the roof of ARGENT hq before, the location changed from the railing to the middle of the roof.

WHAT THE ACTUAL FFFFFFFFF DID YOU PEOPLE DO TO KIGA??? This is really getting to be complete garbage.

So, now the dogs teleport around randomly. Sometimes just disappear. They do not JUST teleport back to the stage, they teleport all over the place.

I don't know what "The hounds should now properly clear their aggro table when leashed" is supposed to mean, but they definitely do not properly clear aggro pretty much EVER.

Dogs teleport when CCed, completely ignoring the CC effects.

Oh, did I mention that KIGA RANDOMLY DISAPPEARS!!! Yep, he completely went bye bye for several minutes tonight. Sometimes he just teleports around the place, or halfway into the ground or some other nonsense.

The point clearing is idiotic, why did you even do that?

EVERY time you people try to fix this, you break it worse. Just put it back the way it was with the spazzy dogs a few weeks ago and LEAVE IT ALONE.

Seriously, most of the time when you break stuff it's like whatever, we just figure out how to play around your incompetence. But now you have completely screwed both Eido AND Kiga. Stop futzing with stuff until you know what you are doing.

What I mean is that some of the trick or treater locations are moved or gone from last week. I know the event got completely reworked this year. What I'm saying is that some of the trick or treaters are gone or moved from week one of this event.

Well, maybe, not sure, though I think there's more of them than there was last week.

A very welcome change, makes it easier to pick them out in a crowd now that they walk around.

vonqball · October 2018

Doom Lords should spawn more frequently. I guess you didn't want us to form trains and farm them, but you thereby sucked out all the fun, and made completing the daily a pain in the ****.

Uuuuuh... which part of this do you think is persuasive? Cause all I see is a whole lot of you being an angry jerk who wants the devs to pay you no mind.

lezard21 · October 2018

Angry jerk's got a point doe

pantagruel01 · October 2018

Yeah, every incarnation of kiga has been more broken than the last.

Yeah, unfortunately it's buried under a mountain of garbage.

darqaura2 · October 2018

I'll be back when the fix Kiga. have fun all.

lezard21 · October 2018

Eh, this might be my Diablo stone talking but I don't think the changes will be reverted. Every "fix" that resulted in a Cosmic becoming harder has never been fixed or reverted but rather incorporated as an intended feature, so I don't think this will be the case either.

The worst part about all this is the timing. It happens right in the middle of a lot of veteran players' hiatus, and right in the middle of Event-thon. From Anniversary, to Bloodmoon to Winter event Cosmic participation always goes down, resulting in even more disastrous Cosmic fights, so by the time January arrives and things calm down I hope people are still willing to participate in Cosmics.

chaosdrgnz43 · October 2018

It is the devs plan for us to adapt to their "intended features" so they won't have to fix them. Or they broke it without jnowing how to fix it. (RIP Eido)

qawsada · October 2018

Well they seem to be adding more AF, costume, and making sure the event is evenly space so everyone does all the event parts from now until after New Years. We don't even know what going to happen in November since we had Nighthawk late in the summer. It could be Cowboy or Nightmare event. They would probably go back to cosmic after they updated Halloween, whatever event is going to happen in November, and the Winter event, which will probably be in stages due to how long it is. I assume the Events is being prioritize since it brings in players that took a break from the game, the event itself take place in MC, and basically anyone could do it.

kaiserin · October 2018

In the case of Kiga there is a larger bug at hand that the new changes brought forth (it was happening before, just far less frequently. It's also very difficult to replicate outside of a live setting).

There will be some changes to Kiga this week that should address some of the more jarring issues (like the hounds porting around).

pantagruel01 · October 2018

I have long suspected that aggro tables can suffer overflow errors of some sort.

Well none of what you said has to do with growth, so doubtful.

Which could mean people were hitting negative aggro. Now how can we abuse this...
