Hero Zone Event Message

Issue 12 provided heroes with a new way to respond to any special event that may be occuring anywhere is the city. A new chat option was created and messages announce the spawn of everything from a Giant Monster to a Superadine Rave.

To access this option all a hero needs to do is left click on any of the current chat tabs, or creat a new tab, and select edit. Once the edit screen appear look through the list of available chat options on the right side and select the Hero Zone Event Message option and hit add. The Event Message will then move to the left side of the screen. Click on okay and the option is now saved and the event message will appear in in whichever chat window you have picked.

Message Types

Messages vary based on the activity but include

  • The Ghost Ship has been spotted in Independence Port.
  • The Ghost Ship has disappeared from Independence Port.
  • The Ghost Ship has been spotted in Talos Island.
  • The Ghost Ship has disappeared from Talos Island.

  • Both Villain Zone Event Messages and Hero Zone Event Messages can be activated irrespective of the side a player is on (CoH/V), enabling a villian to be alerted to the Hellion Arson Fire Event in Steel Canyon and vice-versa.
In addition to these message a second message will appear when an event in a zone is completed. So if Jurassik spawns in Crey's Folly and a team of heroes assembles and defeats him a message will be broadcast, in all zones, stating that Monster activity in Crey's Folly has returned to normal.

Notes

  • This provides a very good tool for heroes in obtaining many badges including several neeeded to complete Accolades.
  • There is also a Villain Zone Event Message option that provides the same information to those playing CoV .
