Badge time.png This article or section contains information about a past event in City of Heroes. It is provided for historical purposes.

Overview

During this event, Heroes could 'Trick or Treat' by clicking on doors in the various zones. Either a treat was awarded in the form of a random inspiration or a trick would spawn various enemies, who came out of the door. Eochai could also be found throughout Paragon City in different levels according to the zones. Eochai was of Monster rank; the Giant Monster rank had yet to be implemented.

Temporary Powers

One of the treats was the Rock temporary power. It is a one use, ranged attack that does minor smashing damage. Matt Miller was the developer behind this homage to It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. [1]

Enemies

Six "new" enemy groups made an appearance during the event.

The Coven was made up of witches who were later turned into The Cabal enemy group found in Croatoa.

Fir Bolg

This was the first players saw the forces of the Fir Bolg, who would become one of the major villain groups present in Croatoa, implemented in Issue 5. They did not award the Pumpkin Master Badge.

Ghosts

Ghosts were used in this event, rather than the Circle of Thorns Spectral Demons of later events.

Vampires

5th Column vampyri were the models used to make up the Vampires enemy group for the event.

Werewolves

5th Column nightwolves and warwolves were the models used to make up the Werewolves faction for the event.

Zombies

The zombies were Banished Pantheon soldiers.
