Energy
How-to
- In order to attack or heal others, you'll need to keep your energy up
To gain energy, you need to stay active in the event forums by posting in threads or creating your own.
To attack, you'll need attacking energy so you'll need to stay active in the main battleground forum (Halloween 2k12: The Don)
To heal, you'll need healing energy so you'll need to stay active in your team's specific home forum (House of Von Helson or Kuro Gang)
You'll have 10 minutes of time to attack/heal after your most recent event post. During this time you can attack/heal as many people as you want.
Your energy is directly tied to the 10 minute timer though. As more time passes since you last posted, your energy will continue to go down. The number of attacks/heals you make does not lower your energy any more.
Attacking
How-to
- Slash your way through waves of enemies to score as many points as possible.
Click and drag your mouse across your enemies to slash them
As a member of the Kuro Gang, you need to slash the bats but avoid the owls at all costs!
As a member of the Von Helson house, you need to slash the owls but dodge around the bats!
Each correct slash gives you 1 point but don't get too crazy. Each wrong slash will deduct 5 points from your score.
Be sure to slash all the enemies; if you let any of them fall below the window, you'll lose a point.
Score as many points as possible (20 max) before time runs out.
Healing
How-to
- Act quickly to patch the wounds of your friends and allies.
You'll need to keep your wits about you and make sure your memory is working well.
You'll need to find each side of six different items.
You can only see the contents of two drawers at the same time so be sure to make the right pick.
The first 4 matches will get you 3 points each while the 5th and 6th matches will give you 4 points.
Score as many points as possible (20 max) before time runs out.
Team Total Scores
The victor of the event will be determined using each team's total score as shown on the landing pages and forum/thread headers. This score is NOT just a sum of the team's kill and heal count but rather, a weighted sum based on several factors including:
- Team attacks
Team kills
Team heals
Number of active members of each team in the killing and healing areas
The reason we decided to go with this method is because if we did not, the team with the most players would almost certainly win without any chance for the smaller team to come back. Instead of relying solely on raw numbers, we can analyze the actual team activity by looking at how active each team member is. This makes it so that even if a team has fewer people, if that team has more active players, they'll still have a reasonable chance of winning.
We are not counting those who signup and do nothing against a team's total score. The total is being determined by the users who are actually active and participating on the team. There is no predetermined result, there are no artificial numbers. Everything you see on the leaderboards is being determined by each of you, not us.
Trick or Treating
This year's trick or treating is different than previous years in that you need to visit each of the NPC shops in order to get all the candies. You'll need 22 candies for each item so you need to go to every store (except the Cash Shop and Mecha Neko). If you receive the "don't be greedy" messaging, it's because you already received candy from that store. You'll need to search for the store(s) that you missed in order to continue.
Items and Achievements
There are multiple items for each team and one overall achievement for the event. To find out more about the items and how to use them, just refer to this handy user made item guide.
Happy playing!
