    Since that was just under discussion and not confirmed, don't expect nothing until it's in the PTS....

    so wait, have any of the rewards been looked over for this event?


    And also from the sound of it are we going from one version this weekend to the other version later this month or is it a revamped version that we haven't seen yet?

    As far as I can tell, this weekend is the bloodmoon that was once a monthly event, and later is the halloween version.

    They are not all that different, in the first you fight a 'Deathlord', in the second Tako himself, the rest is all the same.

    Okay, I didn't see that last little bit when reading the blog. I'm a little sad that its the same old even but at least they've been listening to the forums and updated the loot for all those who have done this event several times before, so thank you.

    Yes. Some of us would like to see new things to do in this game, than the same old content coming back again and again.

    That's not very reassuring. As of the current situation, probably 1/4 of the content bosses updated with On-alert rewards drop absolutely nothing (not even questionite boxes), namely the ones in adventure packs and comic series.

    Hrm. Would you mind listing them for me, so I can report it to the devs? That's an issue that should be easy to fix.

    I understand Cryptics working hard for new things but please don't forget fixing Legacy Power Replace Items cosutme unlock. I send the ticket, got response and waiting for fix 3 month already. Please report Devs about that too. xD

    I think this is outdated information.
    I just tested all the bosses except for the Deathlord.
    I got a 'UNTIL Equipment Kit' from every single one, and a chance at the zombie costume unlocks.
    When opening them I got:
    • Chance at random green/blue primary gear (post on-alert)
    • Chance at random green/blue/purple secondary gear (post on-alert)
    • Chance at a random IV/V mod (armor, enhancement and core)
    • Chance at a catalyst (only got 10% ones)
    • 1 UNTIL Recognition

    He wasnt refering to the bloodmoon event bosses but those that were updated with on alert drops when on alert launched, he specifically mentioned those in adventure packs and the comic series

    I'm still a little disappointed they decided to go with Vampires in London instead of Werewolves in London.

    They couldn't get the Queen to agree to go walking with Lon Chaney Jr. And the one at Trader Vic's had mussed-up hair.

    They thought about it, but:

    1) Pina Coladas are alcoholic and the ESRB may complain...

    2) Trader Vic's is trademarked...

    3) They just couldn't get the hair perfect...

    Not to mention that after I could get in, I crashed after defeating Firefight. This is keeping me from enjoying this Blood Moon.

    The stability seems to be fixed.

    And Mona, you didn't see anything yet because the event was scheduled to start at 10 am server time, and you posted at 9:50. :smile:

    Same from the Until Equipment Kit.

    I noticed that the last boss in the crypts wasn't updated for new drops - I've gotten several health and energy on kill items, and a bunch with flavor text from him. (Even though both of the crypt midbosses have been updated and drop questionite boxes, and even the glowy treasure chests throughout the crypts now give you Treasure Box grab bags.)

    Good for those who wanted health or energy on kill items, I suppose!

    What's the deal with Tako's Deathlords dropping Primus recog and maybe a lvl 20-25 green item? Other than the AF, does that fight drop anything worthwhile? What am I missing here? :confused:

    Re: Crypt Treasure Boxes

    It's a good way, I guess, to stock up on things like the pestilent cloud summon and whatever else used to come directly out of those chests, because I have twenty two treasure boxes and can't open any more due to getting the "You may only have one of a unique item" message.

    Final boss(es) of the crypts, the Harbinger(s) of Woe still loot an item from before the On Alert update.

    Please update their loot as you did the other ones. Thanks.

    I'm so tired of opening pseudo grab bags and getting catalysts. They're so trivial that I might as well have opened the box and gotten a pie in the face.

    It's also frustrating because I get a grab bag ("equipment kit", how many names for these things are you guys going to come up with), I open it, and the loot goes to my overflow bag, so then I have to open that, and press take all to get it into my main inventory. It kind of unnecessarily adds another step to looting, and gets old fast. Whatever happened to just having the loot in the open mission reward halo to pick up?

    Also, do the Bloodmoon undead hero devices still drop, or are those gone forever? In my two years of Halloweens and full moons I have never gotten one of those to drop.

    If you're getting things in your overflow bag, it usually means your first bag slot is full. The game has always had difficulty recognizing additional bag slots having open spots. Devices can drop randomly from the bags.

    I was running the overworld event stuff with a friend earlier, and she got Radion's Revenge (in lieu of an UNTIL Equipment Kit, I believe). So, yes, they're still around.

    Was making the devices a super rare drop really necessary? This may sound harsh
    but how are silver player supposed to buy the devices now? They used to go for
    around 250g in the ah now that you cannot get them drop directly anymore the prices are going to
    skyrocket.The 250g limit is already seperating the game into an awful 2 class system,
    why did you / do you always have to make it even worse for us silver players?

    bad, bad bloodmoon. The grab bags are the exact same as in the destroid alert, just switched out 1 item. If you really wanna consider updating anything, try getting rid of that stupid game breaking 250g limit for us silvers, tyvm.

    No, the devices do drop directly, the same as ever. You do not get the devices out of grab bags.
