Combination of AFK and trying to get the backpacks for a new character I hope to make the nighttime meeting.

Thing is, is that the fault of the devs or the players? While the devs could have been keeping that in mind, most people who jump on Test seem to only use their lvl 50s instead of the lower levels unless it's a situation where they more or less have no choice like with brand new powersets.

The following was posted elsewhere so forgive me for the multi post:
It's interesting to see how things present themselves now that the event isn't as fresh anymore. Personally, I love the Deadly Apocalypse and would like to see more events of its kind. However, I'm seeing problems with a few things. As mentioned earlier in the thread, ToT is sort of hard for low level characters due to the high chance of getting bosses. Some sort of scaling of the spawn sizes would most certainly be welcome.

I vastly prefer the banners to the zombies since there seems to be more of an actual goal other than just "survive". However, it seems like redside has developed a bit of apathy towards the Deadly Apocalypse while still actively participating in the Zombie and Rikti invasions. Granted, this could be due to the fact that they actively pursue you as opposed to being in their own spots but I've had one instance of someone outright quitting a banner team to join a rikti team. This is where the arguements for fluctuating event timers due to server size come into play. When you finally have people interested, the event is nearly over despite the fact that the team is now finally making decent progress on the banners.

Another possible problem is lumping the banner event and the zombies together. I'm not sure if increasing both by the same amount was a good idea. Likewise, it seems like it would be best if the banners were triggered off of something other than Halloween salvage so they don't have to compete with the zombies.

Finally I have a question. Isn't there supposed to be a spot in the game that talks about the event? If there is, where is it?

Well, you have a point.

City of Apathy.

I've noticed that the same people who'll ignore Deadly Apocalypse will show up for rikti and zombies, even redside on smaller servers. The disappointing thing is that it's probably that Deadly Apocalypse actually requires some sort of strategy as opposed to just standing in a circle and spamming your powers.

Adding to this, the various Arachnos recruitment posters that are posted around Mercy.

The intriguing thing is when you finally get enough controls to stack. Eochai CAN be affected by Lift if this happens...

My only problem with simul-clicks is not being told ahead of time. Otherwise I don't see a problem. The other three actually seem to come down to mob and map design on what works and what doesn't. I love the concept of having to actually defend something as opposed to always attacking.

And with one sentence you have added a valid idea to make running enemies more interesting and more dynamic.

Text and formatting. If we hopefully get more types of objectives and more direct control over our arcs then arc size needs to increase by default.

Very nice to hear but it's not the specific change I was looking for. Still, no need for pessimism with this announcement.

I sort of disagree with this idea or at least on the specific date. While it would seem like a filter would be needed, it may wind up blocking some good arcs that didn't get submitted the first time around or got some heavy fixes since then. Also, MA will no longer be the new shiny so there is less of a worry about being flooded with submissions.

Strong and generally well written, yes. Cool? Ankle wings sez no.

Revised a bit. Opinions?

Happened in the past 7 or so years (he had been slowly getting the other buffs). Since Atlantis has had some references to King Arthur in the past, there was a full storyline with him meeting the Lady of the Lake and she essentially healed the harpoon hand into the form of the water hand in return for him becoming her champion for some sort of mystical conflict. DC has fluctuated on the full abilities of the water hand but one of the most glaring buffs is that outside of outright dehydration weaponry, Aquaman no longer has a timer for how long he can survive without water. It's a magical weapon (which actually gives him an edge on Superman in a fight) yet it can negate or at least affect other magical weapons which makes him a threat to magical enemies. I think it has also given him true healz0r abilities when on the team.

He actually has hardcore super strength though not to the same degree as Superman. On that note, he's more willing to "fight dirty" than most superheroes. I think it is canon that he's lifted an ocean liner (on land).
