Halloween 2007

I would imagine that there is more to it than simply flipping a switch.

It doesn't affect me yet, although the mission database is stored down there, and it's shut down right now, so that will start to affect me if they're still in emergency shutdown mode later next week.

It's reasonable to assume that the Halloween updates are there too, but with the unavailability of the database and the staff being unable to get into work the best we can hope for is a short delay only.

atm i just care bout the mxo team being safe and any one else here in the area as well.

Yeah, we can wait for the update, or even forego it this year, so long as the devs and their families are safe and sound.

Yeah, I'd like to see the Halloween event even if it comes after Halloween itself.

 Most of all I hope all those people and evacuees are alright...and i hope those *CENSORED* fires stop raging   .... Halloween pwns face..and i hope we get the patch soon...but oh well...I'm more concerned with peeps and thier safety

Any more news on when we might see the update?

 

I'm sure when Rajinn and the rest of the team in San Diego aren't waiting on evacuation orders to leave their homes, or when they can return to work, you'll have more info and he will post it on DN1. 

Right now it's just a waiting game.

last minute idea Its Not My Intent Too Be Disrespectfull too the Serious problems With The Cali Wild Fires... but can we have burning buildings for haloween :p possibly a mask of that beautifull code of "smith" in flames MASK

Hope Those People Who Did Loose there Homes Are Ok & Taken Care Of...

Is there an extension on the when the Halloween stuff will be removed?

 

See, that's what I don't understand. Why does the regular patch schedule need to change if the event is prolonged? If you extend the event until update 56, you can remove the halloween stuff and update the game in one go.

hmm  I wish we could whip up something like a trick/treat setup...where all mission doors (doors inside buildings that normally go to instanced missions) would function as a trick-or-treat door instead when there's no mission active.  When you "knock" on the door you'd get either a trick, or a treat.  Tricks are hoards of NPC enemies that pile out to attack you with a slim chance for some rare loot .  If you get a treat (rarer), then an bluepill NPC answers the door and walks out...you can right click, select "Get" and receive a treat (rare loot, or a mask, or maybe some cake).

I like this idea!

Heck, even something as simple as adding a "creak" sound to opening and closing doors would be a fun little touch.

RL triple-bombed me this year, so I haven't seen much of the Halloween Event.  But I wanted to say how much I appreciate it--it's kind of fun to come in to something different.

Hey Paige--maybe your trick-or-treat idea could be done by tying the jack-o-lantern behavior to select doors.  I'm sure each district has certain exterior doors that are simply never used for missions and/or never function.  Don't know how you'd do the "treat" part, but it might make an easy way to do a "trick or treat" setup.

5 extra days of Halloween event ok with everyone?

Although when I clicked on a pumpkin I wasn't expecting anything to jump out and attack me.. I jumped 2 feet out of my chair.

GOD DAMNIT!

Why in the holy name of god are you extending this already far to long drawn out event? Damnit, guess I'll push things back another week!

Wouldn't be so *CENSORED* bad if I could actually see the game I am trying to play!
