If they keep it out of the starter zones, and provide the same debt protection as the other events, this would be awesome.

Far too much content is instanced.

I think it would also be cool to just have random occurances where you see Statesman just flying through Atlas Park, or maybe fighting Lusca in IP. As I understand it, DCUO will allow you to team up with their signature characters (semi-)regularly, so seeing the CoH/CoV signature heroes/villains doing something other than standing around motionless seems like a great, immersion creating idea.
The CoH 5th Anniversary event was a blast with the GM and AV invasions, but I wouldn't want that to become a regular thing lest it lose its shine. People already complain enough about the random Rikti and Zombie invasions. I'm hoping we'll see a similar one-day event for the 5th Anniversary of CoV next year though.

This suggestion is cool. I'm assuming it would be similar to rikti and zombie invasions so the invaders use the GM logic. In that case being in the starter zones is fine.
The Cursed Sorcerer approves of this idea.

I'm not a huge fan of pointless invasion events, but the core idea isn't unsound.
Never surrender! Never give up!

I have been playing for several years now. One thing that I miss the feeling of being immersed. I was thinking of ways that the CoX experience could be taken further, so...
Picture this. You are cruising around atlas and all of a sudden you see something like this on broadcast.
"Ghost Widow: Greetings heroes of Atlas! Now doubt you have heard of me, I am Ghost Widow. I have some...business to take care of here. So, let's make a deal. You stay out of our way and we won't have to kill you. Since we all know you can't keep to yourselves, I've brought some of my friends with me. Heroes of Atlas! Meet Wretch."
Maybe changing the color of the sky to a dark purple, arachnos start patrolling, etc. Maybe a Recluses Victory thing where you have a bar that measures how many arachnos must be defeated... etc.
Vice versa with the Rogue Isles.
"Manticore: Criminals and low lives of Mercy. We are looking for the hostages of Cargo Ship 889. If you comply, maybe we can get a month off your sentence."
Then Wyvren just come pouring in.
