A review of CO's Blood Moon holiday event
co_bloodmoon001

With the Blood Moon event for Champions Online well underway, Ten Ton Hammer reviews the good and bad of Cryptic’s first holiday themed event. In addition, the Blood Moon event also represents the first major content update for CO with certain aspects of the event staying around after the event (the celestial power set and Zombie Apocalypse PvP map). Was the event worthwhile? Read on!

Next, we look at the Zombie Apocalypse PvP map. This is a quick and fun rumble against zombies and other players. A group of heroes must fight off a zombie horde in a remote snowbound village. The wrinkle is that the zombies are led by an undead hero (a random player). If a hero is struck down, they, in turn, become part of the undead forces. The goal of each player is to be the last hero standing. The longer you can hold out (the zombie horde is always victorious), the more acclaim you receive. Overall, this is a great idea, and I’ve enjoyed playing it. The only downside is that it can go extremely quickly.

If they want to keep it as a daily, with the token going away the following day, then they should reduce the numbers of players you need to defeat.

The heros win zombie apoc if you last 20 minutes.

This can happen if you get a lackluster zombie hero at the beginning

I like some of your suggestions for tweaking the event Matt. I hope the devs read your article.

Even though I did not play the Zombie apocalypse, overall I had fun with the event though in retrospect, yes I wish they would have added more decorations. I managed to get a quick glimpse of Takofanes before my level 17 was 4 shotted at a distance. He was smaller than I thought he would be. I did manage to get the Takonfanes action figure and I unlocked the Celestial set. PvP as wolves/hun...

I never won that battle. Every time I played zombie apocalypse, the zombie hero would be rocking. Still, I enjoyed it.

Like I said in the article, I thought the event was a good one, especially for their first holiday foray. I'm looking forward to see what they'll do in...
