Talk:Festive Comet

Not sure on the type of mice - physical/tactical/hydro etc. There are no messages for anyone in this zone about trap being effective or not no matter what type of trap they use. Therefore, either all mice are physical, or trap type does not matter in this zone. Needs some investigation.

I think power types just came into effect. I'm using HVMT, and my log now says "very effective" for a Dwarf catch and "less effective" for a Hydra encounter. There was no trap effect with the Present Mouse (only seasonal one I've caught so far). —MearsMan ^talk 01:14, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

Power Type: Special?

All the special event mice up to this point have had Physical power type. Now it's not possible to really verify because on individual mice there's no indication of power type. Still, it seems sort of odd to me to see this new "Special" power type. Anyone else? Can we perhaps ask the devs to comfirm the power types for these new mice? -- Camomiletea 14:25, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

To me, this seems like a guess as it's practically impossible to tell what power type they are from the All Mice page. However, I do know they're not of either Tactical or Forgotten mice.. That leaves Physical, Hydro, Shadow and Arcane power types to be tested for. Draobyek 14:55, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

Actually... On a quick hunter jumping tour, I can tell they're not of Hydro either. Draobyek 14:56, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

I would speculate that the "special" type has no strengths or weaknesses.

Could these mice simply be physical mice? Is there any evidence against it? (or for it, for that matter?). I think 'special' power type is just speculation. WyndStryke 15:26, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

I would say these should be put as physical. Special seems to imply there's unusual rules about it, and I would take that to mean that they are normal for every trap. But they're not normal when using Ice Maiden (I tried it), which makes them seem more like physical. Spinnercat 01:32, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for input, everyone! I've switched to Physical on this page, and will go through to make the change on individual pages. -- Camomiletea 02:36, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

Mice Locations

Need some feedback on whether we should add the Festive Comet as a location to each of the Mice here, especially those that can be found elsewhere such as Abominable Snow, Bear etc. My thoughts is that it should be included since as per the event description, it is expected to be an annual event. However we can't be 100% sure they'll be introducing the same location every year, but considering all other events, they've remained pretty consistent (ie Halloween event). At the very least it should be included during the current event duration. Comments? -- Grexx 09:06, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

I dunno. It's 12 days out of 365. Not sure it's really worth having it there the remaining 353 days of the year when a simple glance at this page tells players exactly which mice are located here. I just don't see the EXTREMELY limited benefit of having the category as outweighing the potential confusion and clutter of having it there when the location is unavailable the overwhelming majority of the year (unlike Ronza's, which comes around regularly). --B.Rossow · talk 13:30, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
