Special Events
From Paragon Wiki Archive
A special event is a period of time during which the game(s) are altered. To date, there have been two special events, both in City of Heroes. They are:
- The Halloween 2004 Special Event, which took place during the weekend of Halloween in 2004. During this event, heroes could earn six special badges: Buster Badge, Dead Head Badge, Hallow Spirit Badge, Hunter Badge, Malleus Badge, and Shifter Badge.
- The Winter Wonderland 2005 Event, which took place in January 2005. During this event, heroes could earn two special badges: Frozen Fury Badge and Cold Warrior Badge. Also, there was a special inspiration type available during this time, Presents.
- The Winter Event 2005, which took place in December 2005 and early January 2006. There were three stages to this event.
- On December 8, 2005, where heroes would receive the Longbow Reservist Badge and villains would receive the Jet-Setter Badge by logging in. Both heroes and villains received a temporary power, the Holiday Rocket Pack.
- On December 15th, Agents appeared at helicopters in Paragon City and Operatives appeared in the Rogue Isles offering missions for characters which rewarded badges. Heroes were to go recover stolen presents and upon completion, they would receive the Holiday Spirit accolade. Villains on the other hand would go steal presents and receive the Scrooge accolade.
- Then on December 19th, mysterious presents appeared all over the Rogue Isles and Paragon City with two possible outcomes. If you were "Naughty", the Winter Horde would appear. If you were nice, you would receive a Present Inspiration. The appearance of the Winter Horde allowed characters to receive the Cold Warrior Badge. Also, if you opened 200 presents, you would receive the Toy Collector Badge.
- The Valentine's Day Event 2006 started on February 8th. It marked the first time that Heroes and Villains could work together. Heroes received the Heart of Light Badge and villains received the Heart of Darkness Badge for logging in during the event. Characters could earn the Beautiful Badge (for females) or the Handsome Badge (for males). After unlocking DJ Zero as a contact, characters could earn the Toothbreaker Badge for defeating Snaptooth five times.
