Being a part of a hero group taking on 8 Kronos Titans at once was epic!
Happy 5th!
Missed it all, as in never saw anything out of the ordinary on the live servers.
Still, happy 5th. 
This event was pretty darn epic. Though I ended up spending most of time in the D on test. Glad I weaseled out of working, had an amazing time! (got some lag, but it was the awesome kind. Like server crashing from too many winterlords xD )
Happy 5th !

Anyone see mr. bluesteel spawn a hundred...
bus stops?
I had to fall back to playing my level-50 AR/En Blaster that evening; the Kronos Titans and the other GMs weren't a problem, but the dozens of level 50-52 Malta and Hercules and Zeus Titans were deadly to lower-level characters. The evening gave me a new appreciation for the power of tricked-out AR cone attacks, though; with Boost Range and Positron's Blast sets in all her AoEs except LRM (where the three Dmg/Rng HOs give a truly amazing range), she was able to stand off and spray Full Auto into a brawl and light up two Lattices, three Winter Lords, the Kraken, two Kronos Titans, Jurassik, and Ghost Widow at once -- a situation that, had it not been for the melee characters keeping their aggro, would have meant an instant faceplant from the return fire (which happened enough anyway -- Ghost Widow and Scirocco do not appreciate getting Sniped and then lit up with Full Auto; I pulled aggro away from the Tankers and Scrappers several times doing that).
I wound up getting Monkeywrencher, Mistress of Olympus (which was odd; I thought I'd gotten that one back around Issue 3), Keeper of Secrets, Unleasher, The Solution, the full set of RV's PVP archvillain badges, and Justiciar out of all the chaos during the evening.

I have to admit that entire spawning in Cap Au was epic as well, The Phalanx, Deathsurge, and a zombie invasion all at once was lagtastic, but very epic :3
That just goes to show nothing can stop the villains, muhahhahaha!
-C.A.
Yeah. Forget cats and dogs! On test IT RAINS BUS STOPS!

I dunno, I seem to remember quite a few Jurrassiks yesterday. I think it was actually raining Volvos.
Loved this event so much...kinda glad it only lasted 10 hours...made it more epic =]
Finally got to fight Ghost widow and Lord R at the same time and just before beating them...server crash!! was gutted! i also last a badge i earned 10 mins before due to server crash...the Kronos Titan one....anything like this happen to anyone else?
This hasn't happened for me.
However, I've seen accounts of crashes wiping stuff like this before.
If I'm allowed to make a WAG about it, I'd suspect that, due to the STUPID loads on the server during events like this that when the client "burped", the server hadn't yet properly logged all your achievements in yet (they were sitting in an I/O buffer that was wiped when you crashed out or signed back in).

I still LOL at the massive faceplants due to Pocket D raining forklifts.

Unless Badge is there. Then triple everything. And triple it again for good measure.

Hope this event has an encore; I got home from work thinking I was going to see something special, and all I saw was a message from Positron. If you work later, I guess you are screwed.
Man, I didn't see a damn thing other than a lot of yellow titled MMs all over the place.
How late did you actually get on? I left at about 12:30 AM (Central) on the 29th and it was still going on, on Protector.
On Test, just after Midnight (Central) it has essentially finished in Pocket D.
