THIS IS A PARAGON CITY EMERGENCY BROADCAST.

This just in from the U.S. Military Central Command:

The United States Military will take no active hand in the defense of Paragon City as the inclusion of soldiers may hamper the abilities of some of the more powerful heroes.

Any hero who is currently serving in any status for the Federal Government will not be released from their current duty in order to assist the people of Paragon City.

As before, Federal Employees and those serving in the military are to preserve their "secret identity" and hero only on their personal time.

I sure hope they're holding off. It's an hour to go before I can even dream of cutting out early.

20 minutes and counting! Also stop taking my name in vain already!

AARGH! Lvl 32 F/F Tank - Pinnacle SG:Valiance

I'm cutting out 1 minute after my manager does. About 3:15pm central. Then i race to pick up my 2-year-old cutey pie, then i get home to argue with the fiance's little 15-year-old brother to get his butt outta my chair and log his Major Woody AR/Devices carbon copied blaster so i can log on with Thor and save the day!!!!

This just in!

New Alien Visitors really hate a storm kick to their oversized eye. Invasion now unavoidable.

Sorry about that.

I saw him online (last night, I think) dancing by a boom box and spamming LFTs. I didn't even consider teaming with some schmuck with a name like that.

Kick his little butt off quick and help save the city.

Oh you heartless sons of ... I'm lucky if I get 30 minutes of play in the next 4 days.

Damn work! Damn family! Damn band! Damn, damn, damn!

Major Woody off, Thor Odinson on. Plus he is 8th, I'm 31st. I can help a little more.

I feel the presence of many enemies, more than I can count.

Heros prepare yourselves! Rest and hold your defenses we may need to reserve our energies and rotate patrols on this one. No one knows the extent of the enemy's resources, it could be a siege!

AAAARRRGGGG!!!!! I'm not able to get on until 6pm MST tonight! Please tell me this invasion will wait or at least be on going until then!!!! I am too swamped to leave work early!

Too bad, you guys dont have a web-based City of Heroes client. I don't mind looking at cheezy graphics.. just give me a way to sign in and get some xp.

Oooooohhhhhhh.....


Now THERE's a thought!

*cough* DO IT! *cough*

Its official. DEV just posted that UPDATE #2 is HERE. guess that means all servers are updated. Now we have to race home and await the full scale invasions.

Get home quick and man (lady) your post.

NOOOOO!!! Why? Why do you do this while such a huge chunk of your player base is at work? Would it have hurt to have it on Saturday? I am at work til 7 California time...if I miss this, I'm gonna be pissed...I'm currently reading through all 23 pages of this thread to see if there's any announcement on how long this will last, but I wanted to add another voice from the working masses now.

I am checking the energy readings... I've got interdimensional energy spikes all across the board, and although it looks like it is levelling off, I don't see them falling anytime soon. If anything they are growing in magnitude.

These readings are all across the city as well. Heroes of the appropriate Security Levels are asked to be on the lookout in Founder's Falls and Brickstown as well as the surrounding areas. The readings there and on Peregrine Island look to be stronger than elsewhere.

Growing in magnitude? w00t!!

For those of you who are fortunate enough to have your own personal office,
take a look at how the cubicle people live.

RESPECT MY HOUSE!
You know, sometimes I hate working in corporate America. Why? Because of the
damn cubes. Cubes have to be the worst thing created in the workplace. No privacy. People looking over your shoulder. All your phone business being heard by the world. And what's up with people that walk by as slow as they possibly damn can, to see what website your surfing instead of working?
I hate that. You really want to see me go postal? Hover by my cube too long.
You may get cussed out.

It's my cube. Don't just bust up in there unannounced. Knock on the wall.
Stick your head around the corner to see if I'm busy. Announce your presence. Don't just jump in because you don't see a door. Damn, privacy much?

It's my cube. Don't walk past and ask me who are all the pretty people in my
pictures that decorate my desk. First of all, I don't have any ugly friends.
Second of all, I don't have any ugly family. Third of all, what the hell are you doing lolly gagging around my cube long enough to look at all the pictures that I have anyway? Don't slow your roll at my cube, speed it up.

It's my cube. Don't ask me where I got my plants from, my mirror from or my motivational prints from. That means you've been standing there too long, you better keep on walking. In fact, why don't you walk your *** to the nearest Garden Ridge, IKEA or Target? You wanna see decorations? Go to the damn store!

It's my cube. If you see me on the phone, don't come in. Don't sit in my vacant chair until I'm done talking on the phone. What makes you think I want you to know all my personal business? I haven't summoned you. I haven't invited you to take a seat. I haven't asked you to laugh along with me at the jokes I tell my friends on the other line. We don't need to correspond in person. That's what an inbox was created for. You wanna talk to me?
Send me an email. You got work for me to see? Drop it off in the inbox OUTSIDE
of my cube. Damn, it ain't hanging there for decoration!

It's my cube. Don't listen for noises from my cube that announce whether I'm arriving or leaving. Damn, I hate that! When I get here in the morning, I get here. I don't need you to say good morning loud enough so that the whole department can hear. Why do they need to know that I got here at 8:05, not 8:00? And when I get ready to leave, I'm gone. If you hear me taking my purse out of the draw or zipping up my bag, I don't need you to say goodbye loud enough so that the whole department can hear you announce my
departure at 4:45 and not 5:00. Damn, I hate that!

It's my cube. Don't think because I have staples, pens and notepads, that means you borrow some, [censored], I said no the first time. If I say I don't have any, don't walk by to check and see if I'm lying. I am. I just don't want you to have it. Do like I did. Walk your *** down the hall to the big supply room and get you some things. What do I look like, Office Max?

It's my cube. Respect my house

Personally, I hope this is a multi-day invasion. My mild mannered alter-ego is hard at work and won't be able to get much game time in within the next 24 hours. As a fellow Dev for another company, I'm sure the Devs can appreciate crunch time. Please let this last longer than just tonight!

Hmm, do they have any Thin Mints? Yummy!

Rushed home from work at 1:30 to check out the big event. Didn't even see one hoary eyeball, nor any Rikti's. But heard shouts of lvl 50 aliens in Steel Canyon every once in awhile. Since nothing else seemed to be going on, I went and got my cape So... you're not missing that much yet.

Although I saw the most > lvl20 heroes in AP ever. Just hoppin around, floppin they're capes, till a Rikti Ship settled in right over City Hall and blew it to shreds Independence Day style.

OMG! I just thought of the coolest little gadget! Cryptic should make available COH pagers, that light up (like at restaurants when your table is ready) when there is a live event going on! I'd buy one!
