Discussion: The Rikti Return!

Please use this thread to discuss the below announcement.

The looming threat of the Rikti Invasion Force still hangs like a dark pall over Earth. Despite the best efforts of humanity, aggressive Rikti incursions still plague the planet. Advance warning systems indicate the Rikti are massing for attacks on the following dates throughout the year:

• March 7th through the 13th
• April 18th through April 24th
• June 13th through June 19th
• August 1st through August 7th
• Sept 26th through Oct 2nd
• November 14th through November 20th

Prepare for a desperate battle to save Earth from the Rikti Invasion Force! Aggressive Rikti forces will attack Paragon City and Rogue Isle with increased frequency at any time during the above dates! Some important items to remember about Rikti Invasions:<ul type="square">[*] When Zones within the cities are under attack, a world-wide alert will be issued by Vanguard. This alert will show up in your Chat window on the System channel, warning you in which zone attack is imminent.
[*] While the invasion is occurring, players do not receive debt while outdoors in an invaded zone.
[*] Those in that zone that do not wish to be at risk of Rikti attack are asked to take shelter immediately. They can do so by leaving the zone, or moving inside buildings or under cover (overpasses, parking garages, etc.).
[*] The combative inhabitants in a zone will move off the streets and to safer locations when a Rikti Invasion takes place.
[*] Rikti bombs appear to be unstable and not 100% reliable. Some do not explode on impact and only embed themselves in the ground. These bombs have been noted to detonate after a time, so take caution when you see these. They can be disarmed or delayed by inflicting damage upon them.[/list]To assist organization of defense forces, Vanguard encourages all interested parties to coordinate activities via discussion threads on the Official Server Forums.

I don't care what others may complain about. It's stuff like this that make this game fun.

Bring on the Rikti. They won't be getting this planet!

Ok.... I'm done now.

The kind that makes things happen

The kind that watch things happen

And then there are those of us who keep asking "WTH just happened!"

Double yay!

Interesting that they have planned out these events for the rest of the year. Makes me wonder if these are somehow going to tie in with the whole coming storm stuff.

Funny, for being so advanced, they sure can't keep a secret!

I love the raids and it gives everyone the oportunity to get the acolade (much easier than waiting for the LGTF to be completed).

Maybe if I beat enough of them, Rikti will let me be in his show....

Thank YOU Devs!

I hoped that you guys would put them on a schedule one day. I really enjoy them.

Good news. It's a great type of thing to bring the whole community together towards a single goal for a short enough duration to hold our famously brief attention span.

Score!

Finally time to get the last of the badges I need!

Happy hunting!
