Much like the Halloween event, this special treat features
a temporary group of brand new villains come to terrorize
the citizens of Paragon. Defeating 100 of them in combat
will eventually earn you the “Cold Warrior”
badge, which your character can proudly display, and each
successful “Snowman” kill gifts you with the
ability to chuck snowballs at villains AND your fellow heroes.
The Winter Lord himself is a Giant Monster who takes numerous
heroes to defeat, but the reward is the limited “Frozen
Fury” badge. What does he look like? Think of Frosty
on steroids. To find the Lord, all you have to do is go
to the hazard zones of the city, where civilians and lower
level heroes dare not tread. Wait long enough, and he’ll
get pissed off and come out of hiding.
Sadly, the servers have become too unstable from recent
updates for a snow-covered city to become a reality (though
the developers may have had other reasons, as well), but
Cryptic have made good on their promise of a Christmas present
by giving every existing character in the game the option
to respecify their powers.
This “free respec” allows players to completely
rechoose their powers, dropping any redundant or sadly less-than-useful
ones.
