.....seriously, Cryptic? You couldn't even dig up a more recent 'trailer' for Blood Moon?
And where the hell is the Forum Malvan event?!

And its probably the version that you don't get to fight takofanes for Dark Aura drops.
Still its a change of pace and I can get more Bloodmoon devices.
More recent trailer -- do any exist? I was just reusing old assets because videos are pretty effective, but if there's anything more recent, I'd gladly use that. I know it's outdated, but it's the first time new players will have seen it, and I'd rather have it than no video at all.
Correct -- this is the Full Moon version, rather than the Halloween version.
As for more Forum Malvanum finale info... stay tuned. And I don't mean that in a nebulous, SOON(tm) kind of way. More like the "I'm setting the alarm" kind of way. Consider yourself teased.
Nighthawk and Mega-D are more complicated to bring back, and Mega-D needs some bug-fixing before it can come back. Not sure exactly what's needed with Nighthawk, but I know that it would be more labor-intensive; we definitely plan to bring it back, though.

Sure, we have understood than all events, but bloodmoon, was too much complicated for Cryptic Co's dev team. (if this team exists anymore). No need to say it.
(6 months to debug mega-D and it needs again some time to debug ? Please stop to make fun, nobody 's working on this or anything else. There is almost no patchnotes or updates since november 2012 because our devs are working on nwo, we know it.)
The optimistic way you be able to speak from this bloodmoon event, we had every months for approximatively one year in the past, is really awesome.
Be excited by a very old and worn event like bloodmoon like you seem to be in your article is really impressive.
But i ask to myself when Cryptic will be able to create on this game some new and correct playable content, instead of pretend offer anything to the players with old stuff we have already played and finished 50X, or create only fluff in the store and use this money to expand other games than CO, as STO and NW...
Last time I played, I didn't get any of them. I think they've all been updated, since they don't have minimum levels anymore, so all of them are the new items and the devices scale?
I could be wrong.
Also, it shall be interesting to see how the CoH people react to this event.

At this moment :
Millenium city#1 : 98 players
Millenium city#2 : 91 players
Millenium city#3 : 53 players
Millenium city#4 : 40 players
MI Island, vibora bay, lemuria, canada, desert almost dead. (25 players or less, each of them, 20 in desert)
38 players in alerts (addition of all of them)
Hero games (pvp) = 0 players.
Lol. There isn't a lot of coh players on co. Some of them, yes, but very few.
I hope they will like this event. This is the the only one Cryptic can create and go live without major bugs before take it back. :biggrin:
Waste.
I don't think I've ever experience the full moon version so I look forward to checking it out. I'm not even sure what the difference is, to be honest, besides probably not getting all the Halloween candies and trick or treat stuff and I guess no Tako?
That is correct. I believe during the full moon version, we dont fight Takofanes himself, rather his deathlords I think? Halloween version, we actually fight him. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.

And if you get top of the scoreboard you get a Zombie Foxbat action figure too, if I remember right.
Deliciously nutritious!
Thanks for the clarifications.
The only reason i believe you so far that nighthawk and even mega d will be back is because you say it will, if anyone else did i'd probably be cursing them out now that they are a liar, though as to how long it will take... that's my main concern
From what i was hearing, isn't the only issue with mega d event due to team up button? might want to consider removing it, i can not imagine it ever gets used anyway because open missions are done by people who don't need it. and those would would are always in alerts.
While i'm here, any chance you can return to the AF's thread? pretty please?
I'm guessing that there was some sort of delay in the next step of the event, though there hasn't been any official comment. Trailturtle hinted that it's going to continue soon. I suspect we'll see the next phase go to PTS next week, and Live on the 23rd if there's nothing broken. But that's just my guess.

Ok .. maybe not a "major" bug .. but i remember when we finally got crafting tables on Monster Isle (when we actually had a crafting system) and then we got Bloodmoon and the crafting tables were gone. And it took quite some time until the finally came back.
I'm tired of map hopping just to find out the obsessive farmers have reset ALL the cooldowns of the bosses I'm trying to get an item from for my personal fun.
And in the low chance I do manage to find a boss who's untriggered, I solo all the zombie mobs only for someone who has been lurking nearby doing nothing to help to jump in and outscore me with some kind of trick build when I get the boss out.
That's why I pretty much ignore this event when it comes around, because it's always the same and I'm tired of it.

I honestly hope to god that it's only for the weekend and it doesn't come back every month for a weekend. I would probably quit if it did. I don't mean that as threat, but I honestly can't stand bloodmoon and will spend the weekend in my hideout to have DAYLIGHT happen.
Also someone find Tacoface's phylactery and destroy it.
Criticism where it is needed, praise when it is deserved.
I for one PRAISE Cryptic for bring back this event on occasion. I don't really care about the Forum Malvanum event if it's just more vehicle sales pitch crap. At least Blood Moon focused on your actually champion, was a ton of open missions with zombies invading, a change of sky scenery, has some interesting werewolf v. hunter PvP, and even a tie in with the Vibora Bay Apocalypse.
I look forward to this event, and farming it a bit for devices that have become so expensive (i.e.: Nimbus of Force & Archer's Memory). Even hoping to get a few Center of Gravity and Raidon's Revenge for the killer combo.
For you maybe, not others. In fact I'll be in it partly because it's nostalgic for me, farming Nimbus is where I got my start to making some "wealth" in this game.
Consolidate the currencies! (Please!)
Does your Champion have a theme song? (share it!)
Got a funny in-game screenshot? (share it!)
Please fix the Overdrive energy unlock! (Should help promote thematic build diversity!)
Noooooes not da zombies!!! Haaaalp me I needs a hero! (and daylight)
Any mauritian ingame, contact me tnx. @nemez1s
Everyone that meaningfully participates (any score at all) has an equal chance at getting a special reward drop.
Heck, you can farm the Bloodmoon bosses simply by showing up, hitting the boss at a range with several good attacks, and then waiting for the fight to end. You still can get your drop that way.
At Halloween, I got a Will of the Tiger, a Nimbus of Force, and an Archer's Memory using this method.
Whoever you are, be that person one hundred percent. Don't compromise on your identity.
Star Trek Online's Legacy of Romulus launches on the 21st if I remember correctly. Given past networking issues, it's probably for the best to do this event early.

CALIGA .... wrong???
Somebody CHAT BAN that man!!
Yeah, I went there.

"Okay, you're DEAD, what do you do NEXT?"
As for the titles and perks, I got all of those by the second Bloodmoon.
So there's not really much I do in Bloodmoon anymore.
Also, the reason why I like to do it alone is fighting one of these bosses is the only reasonable challenge in the game.
I know I've got a good build if the character can take on a horde of zombies and the boss alone without dying!
That's mostly what I'm doing, testing it to see if it's a good build or not.
But having some leecher farmer jump in for the boss fight invalidates the test.
I'm really thinking they should move those events inside the portal, so you can go and do it by yourself and not have to worry about somebody messing up the test.

If that's not so, then anyone who doesn't have implosion drives or whatever on their bikes and tanks are screwed.
Where the heck them gooooooo !? Nooooooo
If that is the case, participation is all that would be required.
However, what people fail to consider is that you only get a chance at the reward if the boss is able to be summoned.
Like I said earlier, hopping around maps to get a boss to fight is an impractical exercise if they're all on cooldown!
No boss to fight, no chance at reward!
And that's what the loot leechers are doing, racing around the map as fast as possible killing every boss there is, then moving to the next map to repeat it.
Which is why I think the bosses should be moved inside the instance, that way, a group of inconsiderate players can't ruin the event for those of us who are trying to get the items for fun.

Or the precious devices could be in the crypt, in the undead hero's sarcophage. With the cooldown of the mission, it would be necessary to 'farm' the instance with many characters, not only the one design for it... :rolleyes:

@Moustic in game.
Gold since 2009. Lifetime since May 2012.
I play with freeforms AND archetypes.
Is anyone else having trouble getting the BM Perks? I can't seem to get Perks for defeating Firefight, Crusher, Radon, Eclipse, Johnny Hercules, Flechette II or Vanguard.
Also, I'm about halfway to DeadReckoner, should I keep going or is that Perk bug as well?
Again, not complaining, because bugs happen, I just want info. Thanks.
I got perks for Nimbus and Goblin last night.
Whoever you are, be that person one hundred percent. Don't compromise on your identity.
I had difficulty getting the perks on my tank. I believe you have to score at least 100,000 to receive credit, but you can get around it by teaming. As for Dead Reckoner, it should be working. If you aren't already, try entering crypts until you find one of those patches of earth that zombies will endlessly climb out of. Speeds farming up considerably!
Thanks guys.
What you can't see the timer on the screen that tells you when the boss pops again? Do the math and you'll know when to be there in time for the next appearance. :rolleyes:
