I started playing after the original Rikti invasions and am glad to have these periodic assaults. For one, I've always tended to play angst-ridden loner type characters as far as RP is concerned and these invasions have opened up many of my toons to friend sets I never would have been exposed to due to teaming for the invasions. I've actually got friends I can team with outside the invasions and still keep to my 'loner' rp more or less.
Another point in favor of these periodic invasions is the fact that it's the only time as a lower level character that one is able to see the wonderment of dozens of heroes (or villains) fighting together. Face it, no matter how many times I've done invasions now, it gets me juiced to see the mass mayhem going down.
Now a complaint..... when in the middle of invasion one defeats an opponent, the A.I. automatically targets a new opponent when you hit a power. Well, I noticed this last week that my toon spent an awful lot of time standing around and waiting because the next opponent targeted had NOT ported in yet and so my error messages filled up (from me hitting power buttons) because that opponent was not yet physically there. It would increase player satisfaction and team xp if it could be adjusted so that the next targeted opponent were one that were actually physically on the battlefield and not the 'port zone' of one that had not yet arrived.
My two bits,
Bill
