I was wondering will we have to Co-op to run the TF?

This looks very awesome! I never had the chance to fight in the Rikti Invasion during Beta, so I can't wait for this. Also, fighting along side villains and vice versa will be so fun!
Bravo, Cryptic; bravo devs!

Well, they said the new zone and content would address a level range that people have complained about for a long time. I would have considered the level 39 speedbump and level 50 to be two separate level ranges, but it looks like we get to eat our cake and have it too.
And hey, look: An endgame taskforce that's not of the beat-you-over-the-head-with-stupidly-large-numbers variety! Hero/villain co-op teams are going to be hell to coordinate, but it should still be a ton of fun.
However, for this introductory I10 event, please please please spread it out over multiple zones. I should hope you learned your lesson from Statesman's Strike, trying to cram an entire server's worth of people into Mercy Island. Trust us players to keep full zone coverage. 
I'm iffy on the Rikti armor redesign, but I'll reserve judgement until I see them in action. They did kinda need a revamp one way or the other, and franky it seemed silly to me for Rikti soldiers to all be traipsing around starkers.
Arc #41077 - The Men of State
Arc #48845 - Operation: Dirty Snowball
So, did I read between the lines correctly in that there is going to be an escalated amount of Rikti appearing in all zones prior to teh invasion?
Meaning return of the epic global events? (i.e. The Council-5th Column War)

The Rikti War Zone looks very much like an idea I suggested in the Suggestion forum many months ago. Too bad the post was swept away during forum cleaning.....
The Pylons (I called them control points), the fact that the mothership was protected and must be exposed before entrance, and the environmental threats (UXBs and dropships here) were all part of my idea.
Never once did a red name chime in...guess they had all that planned for quite some time now.

You mean like since the time that the Rikti Mothership zone was originally thought up more than a year before the release of CoH?

BADASS!!!
I'm only ladylike when compared to my sister.
I'm excited about this for 2 reasons. First, it looks like wicked fun! Secondly, this is coming hot off the heels of I9, which means it's probably not gonna be too long before this goes live, which means its probably not gonna be too long before I11 comes by to clean it all up!
hmm, I10's update isn't including anything huge in it, so i'm guessing that it shouldn't be too long until it's released.

One could certainly hope. At any rate, it shouldn't require quite as much raw data mining/testing as Issue 9.

You want the Villain ATs to turn out like the Kheldians? I sure don't.

I absolutely do. Given Khelds are some of my favourites to play, and that they're *planned for release villainside next.*

At a bare minimum, doesn't Recluse's Victory become a distraction? How can Recluse justify continuing to invest major resources into that particular plan to take over the world if the Rikti are at all close to conquering him? Especially if doing so also diverts enough hero resources into that alternate timeline that it weakens Earth against the invaders? The STF can stay with some text changes, I guess; simply explain somewhere in the text of the mission that he hopes that the weapon will end the war. The LRSF would need to get its text changed (and probably should anyway) to explain that it's a counter-strike against the STF.

not at all. In fact, I'd say he'd put more interest in it - if he can't take over THIS timeline, he'll take over A timeline.
Somewhere, he'll find one he can take.
Will reserve the right to judge I10 on its own merits
Fighting the Rikti will be interesting in new ways. As its part of my history for all my characters.
Will look forward to seeing it all first hand, at some point.

Alright, I'll give you that. I know folks who think they're fun, and that's good that people actually have fun playing them.
But at the same time, a considerable portion of the community doesn't like to play them because they didn't seem to have any particular dedicated role. When I build teams, I generally go for the primary archtypes first, very rarely do people seek out Kheldians first when others are readily available.
Told ya so!
Yay, can't wait...!

No, I meant a post about an improvement to the Rikti Crash Site.
So is the beta testing done yet? Seriously can't wait for this one to go live!
