Heroes!

It is that spooky time of the year, when the Chaos moon Morrslieb is full, the Winds go wild and things go bump in the night. While we have been all too busy working on both Versus and Adventure content, we always have time to celebrate this dreaded Night of Mysteries! Geheimnisnacht is upon us.

Geheimnisnacht event

The event will be running from October 31st to November 10th! It will feature nurglings, Double XP, challenges with new rewards, and the return of previous Geheimnisnacht rewards! Did we mention nurglings?

A returning favourite, the Skull of Blosphoros has gone loose again! Find his cultists in secret locations across Helmgart (we’ve listed them below, ‘cause we know you want those rewards fast) and disrupt their ritual.

If you dare, you can also pick up his Skull! Holding onto it will empower enemies greatly (and give them glowing eyes!), but carrying it to the end of the level will complete challenges and unlock their rewards!

The Skull of Blosphoros can be found in the following levels:

  • Against the Grain
  • Athel Yenlui
  • Halescourge
  • Convocation of Decay
  • A Parting of the Waves

It’s up to you to seek them out and take them on if you want to earn the new goodies!

There are new Quests available at Okri’s Challenges! These can only be undertaken for the duration of the event, but they’ll reward you with an exclusive new frame and five new illusions, with a golden glow of Myrmidia’s blessing!

Returning rewards

For those who have missed previous years’ Geheimnisnachts, we’ll be giving you a small opportunity to obtain the rewards you missed!

For the duration of the event there will be a section in Lohner’s Emporium of Wonders where you may purchase the frames and illusions from past years (but not this year’s rewards!)

Once the event ends, this section will close! Make sure to save up your shillings, there’s only so much you can earn in a few days!

Cool rewards but why is the Halloween event going from the literal last day of October till almost halfway through November…?

Halloween is the last day of October. It is quite normal for gaming events to last for 2 weeks even if the actual holiday is 1 day, because people have real lives / friends /family to spend the holiday with, or other games with similar events. So the chances that everyone has at least 1 day avaipable to play is much higher.

As to why it’s not earlier, probably just missed the deadline to release it this weekend or 1 week before halloween (ie today).

Nice! We have a chance to get the old rewards! Thank you FS. This is the right move. I hope that the other events will be like this too in the future. :slight_smile:

It’s just how things turned out this year, really! Not much more to it. Like Aether said, in the end Halloween is on the 31st, and we want the event to last a while as well :slight_smile:

There’s also some fun stuff coming after Geheimnisnacht, but we can talk about that once the event is done, hehehe.

Waiting for the event!
And hope that it will also bring various bug fixes :slight_smile:

Some bug fixes definitely coming, including stuff like Bot Priority resetting when exiting the game, and Outcast Engineer’s Ingenious Ordnance stubbornly refusing to accept our previous balance changes, haha.

There’s a bunch more fixes that we were cooking that could not make it to this patch but we’re hoping to be able to slot into the next one, however.

Why has the ravaged art from previous geheimnisnacht events been left out? Why can it not be purchased with shillings? All the events where you can buy previous rewards should have the ravaged art included too.

People do care about this type of thing. I would love to have art from all kinds of previous events on my walls in the keep but theres no way to get any of it.

I can’t see the Event section in the shop? Buried under absurdly flamboyant Kruber outfits maybe?

What about major gameplay bugs like

-AI stupidity like their inability to react to Ungor Archers shooting at them?
-AI running committing suicide by running straight into Warpfire Throwers instead of dodging away or using ranged attacks?
-AI not avoiding hazards like exploding Khorne Skulls or Globadier gas clouds?
-AI recently ignoring downed players and running literally across the stage to refill their ammo or finding a blightstormer?
-AI not reviving downed players if they’re being attacked?
-AI not seeing downed players when they’re on different elevations?
-AI with any Nuke career abilities being stuck on its aim animation running into the enemy until they get killed?

Yeah, it would be nice if FS can do something about these. But give them time. Years ago bots committed mass suicide by jumping off a cliff when they saw Ratling Gunner or Warpfire Thrower and they fixed it after some years. Maybe after a decade we will get a perfect game. .-)

How much will the older frames cost?

Yeah but it’s like…6-7 years

Plus something like hazard immunity is something FS proved they can just implement, but aren’t doing it since Chaos Wastes
