Fall Seasonal 2018

The Witching Hour Returns with new Base Items, Feats, and Styles!

All hell has broken loose in the streets of Gotham City and inside The Midnight Masquerade Nightclub! Go to the East End safehouse in Gotham City and speak to the Phantom Stranger (Heroes) or The Tap Room in Burnley and speak to Tala (Villains) to receive further instructions. To queue for “The Midnight Masquerade,” go into your On Duty UI and look under the Events Tab. There are also new feats and new collections to be found for those brave enough! And for the eagle-eyed, be on the lookout around Gotham for Batwoman – there may just be a bonus feat in it for you!

New Feats

  • Relinquished Relics of the Cursed
  • Limbo Rock Around The Limbo Block
  • Let's Not Lose Our Heads
  • Thirteen Days of Darkness

Each day of the event, also look for “The Witching Hour” in your Mission Journal to complete and earn Spooky Bites! Shop Skeets’ Boo-tique for the latest in scare-wear, tricks, treats, and creepy items for your Base. You’ll even find a few extra special surprises, like the new Swarming Bats Aura to strike fear into the hearts of your enemies, and Dog Boo, the Boo Family Pet who is ready to haunt your Base! Level Requirement: 10

Known Issues:

  • Halloween Decorations in Gotham City remain absent until the Witch Boy finds the missing key to the storage unit, but The Witching Hour event is entirely active.
  • Bonnet (head style) removes facial hair on male characters (unintended). We want you guys out there to wear bonnets and still look manly with your beards.
  • Scaling Gear currently lists socket affinity bonuses (which don't exist anymore) on the item tooltip.
  • Intermittently, players may be unable to access items or consoles in their bases. (If you get stuck in this state, you can create a new base without permissions granted to anyone but you, for a short-term workaround.)

Game Update 87
Tactical Mod Boxes

  • The process of getting Tactical Mods has been streamlined.
  • Tactical Mod boxes are now available in the Base dispenser.
  • Each box offers you a choice of the existing mods based your power set.
  • Available boxes change based on how far you’ve upgraded Tactical Mods in your Mainframe.

Scaling Gear Boxes

  • New Scaling Gear boxes will randomly drop for players in instances if they are within CR relevancy (CR 30-160).
  • Different sets of Scaling Gear can potentially drop within the same instance, but will always only drop a set within CR relevancy of your character.

Scaling XP for Leveling Characters (Not Testable Currently on PC Test)

  • You will now be awarded XP for completing the daily missions in Titan’s Tower event content.
  • XP awarded is based off of the content difficulty and your current character level.
  • Completing event content in future Episodes will likewise award XP.

Stats Update

  • NPC stats have been updated slightly to match the current levels of Artifacts.
