Hmm...What zone is it located in?
It is inside City Hall of Atlas Hall and crashes every few minutes. 
Once your faction (hero or villain) has control of all the pillboxes you get extra Prestige for killing the opposite faction. The longer you control all pillboxes the more Prestige you earn per kill. The slider is on a timer and goes up to 1000!!!
And robots are cool.
Didn't see any signature heroes or villains turn up to defend the last pillboxes, like they were supposed to.
Yeah, rezzers when you die leave you at 1 HP and 1 End, but the zone is amazing! WOW it was so much fun!
I killed Lord Recluse, so its working. The bots are cool too.
Load screen and portal to RV are loud and extremely annoying!
That's all I have so far.
The portals are always loud.
Yeah, we beat Recluse. Got a LCTMS when Black Scorpion showed up though...
ANd rezzed in a tube with 1HP/1END twice...
Still, woot, beat on reculse! 
Confused as to what the point of it is. Annoying at the moment with the lag. Heroes outnumber vills and heroes are broken so the zone will always be under that control. And sounds like a ton of prestige exploits on the way.
Um, it's test. It's not exactly a representational cross section of the COx population, nor is it as "durable" as a production server. And there were a good number of villains before the last LCTMS I had. We had a decent fight near one of the control points.
The whole "zone will always be under (hero) control" was said about Siren's Call too, and that proved to be untrue. Another month, with more villains getting into level for the zone? It's going to be a good fight. I can see this zone being *very* popular.
Just saw Recluse, Widow, Mako, and Scorpion in RV. Got screenies of Mako and LR, none of the other though, and no signs of Scirrico.

The graphics transition from villan to hero controlled appears to be bugged. Standing at City Hall when it was villan controlled, no Arachnos banners were present. As it faded from Villan to Hero, the banners appeared, then dissapeared. I also couldn't stand under Atlas (but may be due to REcluses's skirt).
Every time the Heroes win in RV, it crashes the whole server. It's impossible to actually test any of the new powers.

It's crashing even without that. And I did see a Brute with a pet now (an Arachnos blaster spider, I believe.)
Screenies - for some reason they're getting horribly resized at the moment. I'll try to redo and reupload them.

Neat pics. Mako on fire is funny.
Where's the thread to start pushing for a FA nerf?

Yea it seems like everytime theres a win, the server crashes than goes back up, than crashes again. But thats what you can expect from I7, but it is amazing

brutes don't get access to their patron pets until 47, so i doubt this was the case. either someone found an amazing bug that allows you to level to 47 in a matter of hours (while the test server crashes repeatedly around you), or it's some kind of temp power from the zone.

The pet that was seen was the villain pet from Recluse's Victory, heroes get a freedom corps robot and villains get a blaster bot pet. Getting to lvl 47 that fast is scary

Possibly a temp power, but it was an Arachnid with "owner" text underneath. I'll see if I got it in a screenshot or not. Might be something unique to the zone too. I was busy trying not to get killed at *just* that moment. and it didn't show up 'til the brute saw me near the anchor.

That's one of the 'Heavies' from the zone. I just got one myself. Very cool.
On that point: there's no individual controls for the turrets, when you take a pillbox. You have to give the same instructions to 'all pets'. The same applies when you have a heavy AND a pillbox. You have to tell everything to attack the same target.
Last I was in RV, I never saw a proper marker for zone entrance/exit. There were 2 markers right next to eachother where they had nothing anyway..
What is the auto-level for the zone? 50?
