I'm sure this has been suggested, but I think it's worth suggesting again: How about increasing the times that these zone events occur. Most people enjoy these events, but no one likes waiting around for one. I realize they can't happen every 5 minutes, or they will loose the quality that makes them special...but why can't they happen every hour? Or every hour and a half, or even every 2 hours. I really see no harm in having the events occur more often, so that more people can participate and those that enjoy the events won't have to wait around as much for one to start.

It's looking very good =)

I remember when Rikti monkeys gave good xp....before Issue 1 you could often find high 30s heroes in the back of Crey's Folly farming monkeys for the xp.

Another pre-issue 1 memory is the Abandoned Sewers being pretty popular...you could actually go there looking for a team and find one.

I remember the old team seek window, and when it wasn't able to span multiple zones.

I remember being *very* excitied about doing my first TF, which was the Positron TF. After the first mission so many died they decided to quit, leaving my blaster and a controller as the only ones on the team. I also had no travel power at the time...that was one long TF...

I'm certain this one has been mentioned already..but I remember the infamous 'Purple Patch' and the uproar it caused. Unfortunately that patch was the reason a good friend of mine left the game.

It's quite amazing to think of how much has been added over the past year...just imagine in another year!

The reason that Portal Corp has all those sandbags & razor wire is because it's now a Hazard Zone. That middle Portal Corp mission is the entrance to the 40+ Shadow Shard Hazard Zone.

To be on topic - I just hope that I'm online to witness/participate in whatever's planned. I hope we get more of a narrowed-down time slot.

Yeah, I realize that's the entrance to the Shadow Shard. The point of my post was that the changes at Portal Corp, the new zone (Shadow Shard), and this 'special announcement' by Statesmen are all connected. I'll bet we won't see any invasion until update 2 goes live, then we'll hear about strange enemies coming from an alternate dimension to attack Paragon City.

I was like to offer up my speculation to what this "special announcement" is all about. I think that monsters from some of the new zones in the Shadow Shard will be invading Paragon City sometime soon. Why do I think this? Go to the test server and look at Portal Corp. if you haven't already seen it...on test it looks more like a military facility, with guards and sandbag walls. To me, this says that something happens to cause Portal Corp. to be this way, and an invasion from an alternate dimension would do it.

Anyway, I can't wait to see what actually happens, it should be interesting.
