I really, really, really hope the Jack O' Lantern Warhorn features an evil spooky laugh.

I've heard a preview. It does.

I hope the new Halloween warhorn is a variant on the psycho clown:

No, it's not. And no, I wouldn't want something insane like that. Especially with your spasmodic, ugly, repeating gif choice.

Loot bags start later in the event.

grand prize being a zombie mech standing cockpit item?! What kind of trick or treat event is that!? [Redacted] Most of the grab bag events had something that matched a mech or something very close to it and this aint one of em. what a waste that's going to have. ill take a mech with a mechbay over a stupid standing cockpit item any day.

insult, unconstructive

[Commander A9]

I guess they forgot that singling out an individual mech on its day of launch is another bad idea too?

Where's the sense in marking all your buyers as a primary target? :/

I think it is fun. wish they would have singled out loyalty mechs too.

At least the kill trackers appear to be working...

Halloween prizes are yours for the taking from the Trick or Treat Loot Bag Event! Hitting the minimum Match Score in a game will provide you with an opportunity to reach into a Loot Bag for a chance to win MC, C-Bills, GXP, Active Premium Time, Consumables, and Halloween Cockpit Items!

No Mech Bays. Remember the good old days, where we actually had a chance to get on or two by clearing such an event?

And why not include supply caches/keys in the loot bags?

I'm not asking for high chances, but at least there was a small one for getting it in the predecessors.

Not to mention, its FREE stuff... if you don't like free stuff...then don't redeem any of your loot bags. You've got a serious case of the donald trump brand entitlement syndrome going on there fella.

Only if the Night Gyr is not affected by stepping in lava. Otherwise, they have a new issue on their hands. I've seen the preview videos, and things ain't looking pretty.

Night Gyr's incur ZERO heat benefit/penalty from environmental effects...which include standing on lava or next to one of those spurting lava jets. There's still LEG damage from just standing still on lava, but you're goose isn't being cooked by doing it.

I hope the actual layout is different not just color. The funneled central focal point is what sucks about that map not the heat.

Well its slightly cooler it seems, since hitting the heat vision doesn't turn the whole screen a solid white. You can actually make all some details now.

Just couldn't be bothered to READ what the prizes were in the event details before leaping to a conclusion to post a complaint about it, could you ? Second prize on the list. As to caches/keys...hunt the huntsman event runs until November 1st for everyone and the first two prize levels are caches and then keys. You have 14 days to accomplish up to 10 points for killing blows or KMDDs against huntsman variants, to earn 100MC, 4 million cbills, 8xC-bills consumables pack, 4 keys and 4 caches.

Anyone else not getting credit for the KMDD? I know I had one last night but it still shows jack. That was about 6-7 hrs ago. Also pretty damn hard getting Terra Therma when no one will vote for it. :-/

[G SE7EN7]

No premium time for non Huntsman owners... thats a bit rough. Dont make me use my time out of my banked 18 months of premium.

There's still a lot of stigma regarding the name "Terra Therma"... Just wait for the mentality to cool down, and you'll find this new edition gets used more.

Please refer to the upcoming Loot Bag event. You'll be able to score some in a few days, so don't use your Banked Premium Time unless you're impatient.
