[City of Heroes] Hooray for holidays! I wanted to play CoH tonight to do some missions with my friend across the country and found out there was some patch to load up. Once that was done, I logged in.
The first thing I noticed is that something was given to me. I looked at my action bar and saw a feather icon. Turns out it is a Holiday Rocketpack (note the snowflakes). For the next 30 days, I can fly! For those of us that never got to fly, it is a sweet present. However, it was also a large carrot dangling in front of me I was working for. Perhaps it is also now an “exit point” for me. Hmm.
Anyway, I’m going to have a lot of fun flying around for the next 30 days, until they take my rocketpack away.
This event also applies to City of Villains.

The colours of the rocket pack look very festive. Perhaps given the 30 days you will have non rocket powered flight by the time the it burns out.
Last year wasn’t the holiday gift a bunch of snowballs to throw at people? I remember we got a super group screenshot of us peppering a mob of trolls. The rocket pack seems a little more useful! (but not as wacky)
I don’t know about CoH, but World of Warcraft had snowballs and snowmen and such last year.
I think the rocketpacks are going to be needed for something, people mentioned a present hunt or something. I haven’t read any patch notes so what do I know?
All I can think of to say is…”IT’S TURBO TIME!!!!!”
I was kind of sad, since my main character has Fly already… but my alts are really enjoying the mobility. :)
