I hope when they bring the invasion back they have a double xp weekend at the same time!

I suspect this is a joke, but because it's the kind of thing that can start rumors, I feel obligated to point out the following.

Invasions are a "world event," as are double XP weekends. The devs have said in the past that they are not able to have more than one world event going on at the same time. So it is highly unlikely (I won't say "impossible," but I'd put the probability at somewhere around the probability of having a minion drop a Posi Blast acc/dam) that we would see invasion plus double xp at the same time.

Oh I agree that the odds of the invasion returning on a double xp weekend are as probable as finding a thread on these forums where everyone agrees.

It's only a dream. Ya gotta keep dreamin man. Besides ya gotta admit as far as dreams go it would be a cool one.

At least I didn't ask them to combine it with the winter event. with UXB's disguised as presents. Think of that one. Opening a present could get you a Rikti spawn, or a gift inspiration, or a temp power, or prestige/influence, or <BOOM!> your dead.

if i'm correct the lgtf will trigger invasions even though the daily thing is over

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah, but that doesn't change the fact that the event ended abruptly. A post to the boards that the event will be over in a couple of hours is not great communication.

Of course, if the event was no fun, no one would care. =)

[/ QUOTE ]

actually there was a blurb about the invasions ending on the updater for more than a day before the last day of the event.

The devs did a pretty good job of letting people know it was coming to an end before it actually came to an end.

[/ QUOTE ]

Careful, these guys don't like being confronted with the truth. It messes up their arguments. Facts and the truth have no place on these forums.

Learn to count? How about you learn to chill? No need to jump down these people's throats because the end of the event caught them by suprise. A few people actually have lives that prevent them from reading every post ever made on these forums.

[/ QUOTE ]

1. Sorry but I didn't jump down anyone's throat. If you want to see that happen I suggest you read some of Melissa's responses when she disagree's with someone. That's "jumping down people's throats" It's also highly entertaining.

2. At no time did I say that people needed to read every post ever made on the forums. I indicated that it was very easy to find a thread where people were discussing the length of time this event was going to last. Also the Dev's provided these forums with a Search tool. If a person takes 5 minutes to use it they can find just about anything being posted on the forums.

I hope when they bring the invasion back they have a double xp weekend at the same time!

It's not the devs fault you guys don't read the forums. The length of the event was known and discussed in many threads even before it went live and it was still being discussed on the test server and in the test forums. Usually when whiners started complaining how they hated the idea of the invasion. The common response was shut up it's only for 2 weeks. The event started July 24, 2007. it lasted 2 weeks. That's 14 days. Learn to count. It was no surprise to anyone that use the forums regularly it ended when it did.

Any chance they could put this off by a week? The timing with Father's Day makes it pretty inconvenient for me unfortunately, and probably for a lot of others out there. Just putting this on the table, less whine and more a "what were you thinking?"

[/ QUOTE ]

did ya stop to think it might be a fathers day gift?

Well I see the idea but I think it's just too' lazy of the Devs not explain why he can now hit you though PS.
I think a better fix would've been to just make him ignor anything that's PSed. PAs included. That would solve the tanking prob.

He's a living organism; he adapted to his environment.

Our characters are living organisms. How come we can't "adapt" and do similar things as hami?

[/ QUOTE ]

Players do adapt constantly. In fact they adapt at every level becoming more powerful and developing new powers, and auras. I.E. Enhancements, Auras, Inventions, and Respecs. Isn't it convienent how you seem to forget the things that benefit you, but complain when the NPC's do the same thing.

It is far easier for a single cell creature to spontaneously adapt to its enviroment than it is for a creature as complex as a human being. Simply look at colds and viruses. They adapt and become more virulent far faster than our own immune systems. If it was the other way around then we would never get sick.

I'd like to thank all the people who take time from their real lives to compile these guides for us. You guys are one of the main reasons that City of Heroes is the best game I've ever had the pleasure to play.
