I'd do it in a heartbeat. I figured that anybody else would, too, but this response makes me reconsider that assumption, so:

If Freedom Phalanx feels that a Gravity/Kinetics controller can be useful in stopping the carnage, Doctor Inertia is available and willing to volunteer. If completing this task means going through the myserious portals or beyond the range of the hospital teleporters, so be it.

This is La Pucelle checking in. Been busy since this morning, first time I've been able to hit the groups or boards. Forgive the crossposting. Remember, in case of Ambush, ask an Alliance or SEP member for assistance, we're here to help. Check the Ambush thread earlier in the week for a partial listing.

I'm sure Europeans and Australians are happy, though. I'm pretty sure this will go on for a while.

That would be a bad assumption based on the posts by a couple dev's.. it's been implied that this will be going on for quite a while, I'd guess they'd make it last at least all day, maybe a lot longer.

I think it's cool that they slipped this in with Issue #2, but didn't have THIS part of it on the public test server. Nice surprise, and a big WTG for the dev's on that one.

I am hearing from some people that are online right now that there is not a whole lot going on right now. A few high lvl ports... but nothing on the scale of the beta invasion. Perhaps we will get lucky and be present for the massive attacks tonight.

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.

who the heck cares!!!! what kind of a hero are you! you will get debt enjoy it and fight the good fight. I just wish I could go home now!!!

I did some quick recon earlier of the situation in both Brickstown and Talos Island. I found a group sneaking through a portal between a bunch of buildings in Talos, and after giving them careful study and considering their combat abilities, I attacked. They are most interesting foes. Giant floating eyeballs who are able to hold you in place while they impale you with various spiney projectiles, and slow your movement to a degree with certain optical blasts, as well. The giant floating eyeballs seem to be the most threat, with the larger ones being the strongest, obviously. The bipedal creatures with strange crystals on their heads have fairly potent combat abilities, as well, although they don't have the ability to hold you in place as they pummel you (that's why the travel in packs with the giant eyeballs). The portals are fairly resistant to damage, and have been known to transport reinforcements through when under attack. After a short battle, and defeating the pack guarding the portal, more transported through and forced me to retreat.

Beware, Heroes of Paragon, these are strong foes, for sure!

Plus the half hour it takes to download the new patch. I've been going at it a while - DAMN this thing is huge. And this is with the content of issue 2 already pre-loaded.

Dude, get cable, download will be soooo much quicker, maybe 15 minutes... hehehe

You are NOT doing this during the day when I work. This had better be still going on when I get home or there will be hell to pay.

Let's see, gotta finish the work day, gotta pick up the car at the shop, gotta run for an hour with my marathon training group, and THEN gotta log on and save Paragon City. <sigh> I'm not going to be able to participate until 9PM! Good thing I already told the boss I'll be "working" from home tomorrow. Even if the invasion ends tonight I've still got a lot of Issue 2 to explore.

Quite simple. The readings are still rising (Growing in magnitude), but no longer as sharply as they once were (leveling off.)

Ladies and gentlemen, I have a grave announcement to make.
Incredible as it may seem, both the observations of science and the evidence of our eyes lead to the inescapable assumption that those strange beings who landed in the Paragon City tonight are the vanguard of an invading army from another planet.
The battle which took place tonight in Founder's Falls has ended in one of the most startling defeats ever suffered by an army in modern times; seven thousand men armed with rifles and machine guns pitted against the invaders. One hundred and twenty known survivors. The rest strewn over the battle area from Peregrine Island to Steel Canyon, crushed and trampled to death under the feet of the monsters, or burned to cinders by their heat rays.
They are now in control of the middle section of Paragon and have effectively cut the city through its center.
Railroad tracks are torn and service from Galaxy City to Steel Canyon to Skyway City is discontinued except routing some of the trains through King's Row and Talos Island.
Highways to the north, south, and west are clogged with frantic human traffic. Police and army reserves are unable to control the mad flight. By morning the fugitives will have swelled neighboring cities, it is estimated, to twice their normal population.
Martial law prevails throughout Rhode Island.
At this time we take you to Washington for a special broadcast on the National Emergency... the Secretary of the Interior...

SECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR
Citizens of the nation: I shall not try to conceal the gravity of the situation that confronts the country, nor the concern of your government in protecting the lives and property of its people. However, I wish to impress upon you — private citizens and public officials, all of you — the urgent need of calm and resourceful action.
Fortunately, this formidable enemy is still confined to a comparatively small area, and we may place our faith in the military forces to keep them there.
In the meantime placing our faith in God we must continue the performance of our duties each and every one of us, so that we may confront this destructive adversary with a nation united, courageous, and consecrated to the preservation of human supremacy on this earth.
I thank you.

The best part about this is going to be the en masse fighting. Anyone who complains of KS'ing during a full on assault/siege to save the city is really missing the heart of the game. Waiting at work, like everyone else, and there will be hell to pay when i get home.
