Just a small question. How do we get exp tonight when people will be fighting "en masse" and hitting anything that comes out of the portals? Will we get XP for the baddies? Just wondering.
Hell, if we don't get any, I don't care, long as I get to take part and it lasts until midnight or longer. The Phantoms Of War will be on Perigrine Island tonight defending Paragon City.
Hot dang! And I was just about to shut my computer down as well! Hurry, heroes, before it's too late!
PS. This seems to be Issue 2, am I right? Please tell me that you've fixed the sound bug, I wouldn't like saving the city as much as I do normally without sounds 
In all seriousness folks I'm pretty sure this event is intended to lead up to the next patch. So I would assume (I know what they say) that this will last untill the patch is released.
It is times like this that I wonder why I made the decision to go to grad. school. *SIGH* I guess a well educated hero isn't too bad of a thing Just time consuming.

XP will probably be crappy so dont worry about it, just have fun.
XP is based on damage, and expect tons of kill stealing.
I wish I could be part of the 1st wave of heroes defending the city but I am at work. Guess I can only enjoy the mid to end part...
Any web-based way to login and play?
The portals respawn asi had destroyed one and 10 min later it had come back, so never fear the invasion is be there when you get home 
er, is that a good or bad thing 
(In the White House)
(Secretary bolts in, alarming the President)
President (Working on Important Business, doesn't look up): What is it?
Secretary: Mr. President, we have an Emergency on our hands!!!!
President (Pauses and looks away from computer): Yes?
Secretary: This just came in! (Hands Document to President) Approximately 85% of all Office Workers have called in sick or have come down with a strange sickness at work today! Mr. President, we may have an epidemic on our hands!
President (looking serious): I'll inform the public immediately.
Secretary: Mr. President, what could be going on?
President (looks briefly at computer which has his CoH character, "President Man" safe in the hospital): Uh... I don't know...

Don't worry, I'll probably get killed for every fireball I throw. I'd play my tank, but I haven't taken mineral armor yet.
From the sound of it only a few mobs have come out of these portals at a time enough for 1 hero to destroy it. Also the described mobs are floating eyeballs.
If you ask me I'd say that these are scouts and not even the true invasion. I think the bigger stuff may be coming a little later on possibly when we are home from work.
I'm feeling the psychic presence of many minds just beyond our dimensional boundaries. Worry not, Heroes! The Mind Giant deduces that there will be many foes to fight over the next while. When you can, organize yourselves into strike teams. I'm sure details will be forthcoming from your fellow heroes and from the premier heroes in the city...

Sounds like the first Rikti invasion. Could that mean someone will have to do as Hero 1 did and venture to their homeworld to cut off the portal connections?

Striker struggles against the bonds placed about him by the evil Boss Lady.
"You'll never get to Paragon City in time! Mua ha ha!!" cries Boss Lady.
"But the citizens of Paragon need me! I cannot abandon them now, today of all days!"
But it's no use, Striker knows he is restricted to this slightly larger than average cubicle, with a window (hey seniority!) for at least another 5.5 hours.
Thanks guys, I can't wait to get home! Looks like the kitchen will have to wait to be cleaned for another month.

Uh..the patch IS out.
I got my badges 'n stuff...
For the beginner heroes in Galaxy City, the Rularuu have taken over parts of Gemini Park, most notably the streets right on its outskirts as well as the North and South sections.
Two portals at the very least have already been destroyed many times, only to reappear with a new invading force!
(OOC: the Rularuu there are all level 5 and below, but the XP seems quite nice - be careful, though, their hold powers are a b!tch to deal with, though the duration is short...)
(Man at Home Talking to Boss over phone)
Man: I'm afraid I can't go to work today. It's my religious Holiday.
Boss: Huh? You're Jewish? Since when?
Man: I just converted today.
Happy Rosh Hashannah, everybody!

Holy cow, they're in Atlas and Galaxy? Level 5 is nothing to sneeze at when you're slogging through there early on...
Man, now I wish my characters weren't so RP-focused on King's Row. They're all too high level to justify defending their homefront...
Kudos to the devs for making this an event ANY level range can enjoy! The rikti invasion was only for higher-ups... this way we'll have less hospital spammage.

Maybe if those of us who are stuck at work get lucky and they are just scouts, the invasion won't happen till friday night or saturday.
