Blood Moon this Month

We're going to roll out the Blood Moon and Halloween event later this month. The Blood Moon will rise in mid-October, and closer to Halloween itself, we'll launch the special Halloween edition of Blood Moon.

More details will come as we get closer. We'll probably have some new rewards, but the details are still being ironed out.

    Sounds like fun. Although I was hoping to see Vladic and the other things you had suggested up in the old UNTIL report.

    I punched a dude one time and his Lawyer turned level 40, so i'd watch out for bugs like that.


    Will there be any changes made to the halloween bloodmoon's loot drops? It seems like a hot topic since the announcement after the destroid event was pulled.

    I don't really want to be negative, but...

    I hope by 'Halloween Edition' he means something other than fighting Takoface for Halloween. It's kind of sad that after an entire year, it's just a repeat of the same old tired event. The last time there was a Blood Moon, I practically acted as if nothing was going on and just ignored it. I for one am thankful this doesn't happen every month.

    Only for the weekend? What about for the following week?

    I guess the bar was lowered by the Destroid Invasion. So all events will be a weekend or shorter.

    not sure if I should post this here or on PTS but anyways, with the current update the undead heroes do not drop their devices anymore, just spent a couple hours running this on PTS and from 30 undead hero kills none of them dropped anything besides the UNTIL box

    Indeed. This event should be left up and running until the second version kicks off later in the month. Any possibility of extending this event Trailturtle?

    Seconded, I can confirm this, they give someone even with insane top place numbers a green item or an UNTIL thingy.

    Or perhaps your expectations were heightened by the proposed schedule for the Destroid invasion - Blood Moon has traditionally been one weekend only, usually during a real-world full moon.

    Last year Bloodmoon was up for two whole weeks. Lets see how long the Takofanes Blood Moon lasts when that comes up later this month.

    Actually, originally Bloodmoon was all October, but they made it a fullmoon thing because most people were having trouble with completing the perks, and with every fullmoon being able to retry BITE! and take on more Undead heroes, it helped get full completion.

    That said, while I liked the whole monthly fullmoon weekend BMR events, I still would like all October to have been a special Halloween Bloodmoon with new perks, drops, actions figures, missions, costumes, and maybe a new movement power unlock or three... Ghost Flight, Bandage Swinging, Shadow Teleporting, Graboid Tunneling(Maybe call it Feeding Frenzy Tunneling or something)...

    So far, this Bloodmoon's only special thing is the return of the Zombie Apocalypse, which was insane to begin with, and I could never win anyway.

    Where's the new Vampire/Werewolf Halloween costume set(s) Cryptic? It's not Halloween without one. :tongue:

    BTW the last year Halloween costume set was great IMO, it only missed the bestial fur legs (when will this be added ??) and a better tail (seriously we need a better one that fits the set ).

    If only those pesky Drow didn't kidnap all of the devs, eh?

    Driders, now there's a costume set we need. And with Tholians on STO and the spiders in NW it would be an awesome set

    You left out the fact all drops are replaced with that garbage recognition. And some items removed. Which, why can't the recog be automatically applied to your currencies rather than waste peoples time picking it up. If you can somehow make it for no logical reason to auto pick up purple drops, rendering the need/greed loot mode set to purple useless. why can't they do the same for recognition "coins'

    Vesperine Cloak for instance. since it's an old click upgrade item, the On-Alert-Patch-which-broke-everything removed it. So now what's the point in even fighting the Turokian Deathlord?

    For a Primus and junk green item? Unless you were after the AF, which apparently only drops for 1st place... none at all. This was worse than Clarence's nerf last year. :frown:

    cool, so once again. cryptic takes away what little content we have left. everything they release is always taken away so quickly. like that destroid event for instance.

    Or the nighthawk mission too.
    A lot of work for nothing, more than 2 weeks after the event, for the game.

    And while this time, the game always need new things to do.
    And they always works to create become devices, powers, vehicules, etc... to do rerolls and do again the same content while levelling.
    (levelling only because there is no end game on this game, no new endgame's lair but Therakiel's temple since march 2010).

    Sometimes i think that all graphic environmental artists are on NWO. And CO just have character graphists anymore to do this fluff and sell them in the store.
    And just one or two environmental artists to do a new "10 mns" alert every two months or create a new content (original alerts) with 90-95% of copy/paste of the original game content, or an event which disappear after 1 or 2 weeks.
