Just imagine Atlas Park, already loaded with AE children, during an invasion. And the panic when some of them come out of AE into Atlas Park 2 and cant see thier buddies.
Woo Hoo! for chaos.

Can you imagine the server lock if all the characters came out of the MA into all the Atlas instances at once for a raid on Freedom! Ha!
I only hope that they the drones go of line and the Rikti can raid the AE buildings!
***WARNING! Your AE mission has been terminated. Power is being diverted to the City shields. All heroes are urgently needed in the streets! You will be disconnected in 5 ... 4...3...2... 1.... ***

This would be brilliant. Whatever disrupts the war walls could also mess with the AE power, so when they go down (or 'would' go down, on the red side) so does the AE system.
Oh, I can just imagine the cussin' in broadcast. 
Hey, My_11_Toons, there's at least 2 reasons I can think of to go to Boomtown. Babbage is there, and so is an entrance to the sewers!

This is a good way to level up lowbies.
Except for stalkers.

Actually my lowbies climbed further in regular team missions than in any Rikti or zombie incursion.

Thats true. These are not great leveling events. They're still fun though!

Once you get the Watchman/Watchwoman Badge, the Accolade that you get with that badge helps you to last longer in both Rikti and Zombie Invasions! I know, because, although I only have one character, so far, to get the Badge and the Accolade, she lasts a lot longer in such invasions because she has both the Badge and the Accolade. That's one reason, I think, that it's worth fighting the Rikti during the Rikti Raids!

I like the Rikti and all, but man o man do we need a new 'massive threat' to visit the city from time to time.
How's about a swarm of Bigfoot?
Or an attack from Atlantis?
Gremlins?
Evil Giant Kittens?
What if Paragon became bathed in darkness and we were attacked by Shadow Wraiths + Shadow Titans...?
What if civilians with bad breath chased us around asking for autographs?
When's the last time the Rularru invaded?
I wouldn't mind at all being terrorized by a large infestation of interdimensional mutant lizard people.
What if Statesman were cloned and an army of Statesclones visited with the intention of beating the living hell out of us?
What if Juggertha went mad and it took an army of our best heroes and villains to take him down?
How about radioactive rabbid squirrels attack, causing instant player death, and the only way to defeat them was to lead them into water, where they dissolve?
These are all great ideas. I give them to you freely. Because that's how I roll.
You know this is neat and all...but i miss the good old fashioned space ships hovering over atlas park.....
I mean its neat they come and do bombing runs for 30 minutes stretches and such...it might be neater if they actualy did a real invasion and didnt stop for long periods.
Also might be neat to see the architect buildings get shut down due to the invasion....might make people go and actualy play the rest of the game for a little bit.
well with me pretty much taking a break from CoH and gaming in general I might just skip this and I know that double xp will be a mighty pain in my azz to even log in so I may skip that weekend too. Oh well just make sure my toons are parked somewhere and are able to work on a dayjob badge that they dont have.

bleh.............................................. .......
now an invasion of Rick Astley...there's something to be scared of
Id love to see a zombie attack during a rikti invasion....in the same zone...now THAT would be fun!! except for the lag of course...lol
know what would be cool? how about villains get invaded by say...heros?!? and heros get invaded by villains. just a thought. 
you would think after millions of failed assaults the rikti would get the hint.
Bah! I want a GEARS invasion. Millions and millions of the little fellas running all over the place.
A lot of people think that every single Rikti Invasion during the upcoming Rikti Invasion Weekend is an event on it's own. The entire weekend is the event, NOT each Rikti Invasion during the weekend!
Try my 3 MArcs: I.D.#67166:Protect the Artifacts!! I.D.#97724:Level-Up Time. I.D.#243803:Witch War! Salem vs. Croatoa!
I say we have a rikti, zombie double XP weekend!
Still tired of the Rikti invasions. It's SO Issue 10.
This last weekend my team exited a mish in Croatoa right into a zombie invasion. It had been so long since I'd been in ne I had a blast. At least it was something different.
Champion: Luminous Diva, Megamax, Trinity Divinity, CoV: Crime Minister., Mr. Puddums, Hot White Chocolate, Uranium.,
Guardian: Aura., Sparx-, Zero Lad
Infinity: Supertodd, COV: Golden Calf
So, so many more...

Well just experienced (sort of) a zombie invasion in Atlas on Freedom. Dc'd within 10 secs. Reloaded Dc'd again in under 5 sec. Yeah I'm thinking Rikti week is the time to dig out that Dom on Liberty, not much lag on redside on a dead server.
YMMV but Liberty is far from a dead server.

WAHOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Time to stomp some Rikti!!!!
For those negative nellies, remember the first time YOU were part of a Ritki Invasion, or any of the earlier issue invasions? The adrenaline pumping? The vastness? The epic battling? Bombs dropping all around you? Fighitng side by side with your friends, SG or VG?
Well, we have a lot of new folks over the last several months that may NOT have had the privilege we've had!
I'm sure those unwilling and non-desirous of participating can find another zone or AE building to hide in while espousing their ire.
I would imagine that well-played, veteran players would at least have the chutzpah to go the distance and show our new members how a community takes care of itself and the Ritki, especially to prove the words 'can't' or 'won't' are in your vocabulary in taking on a simple challenge, like maybe organizing your SG or VG to muster up members for a few hours of zone-hopping, Rikti Invasion-stomping at the SG/VG level itself, or upping the ante and organizing and taking down a Ritki Dropship during the invasion.
I'm sure the Devs know this is old to us veteran players. We, as vets, can do out part by making this a memorable event for the new players and SG/VG members alike.
The benefits of our actions may get some of the die-hard AE players to 'step outside' of their AE enclosures and try something new, maybe even be impressed enough to join SGs/VGs or try hopping to other invaded zones to re-experience the rush they got in their first invasion, which may be this weekend.
We once were in the same shoes as all our new members are now. Let's not forget those that made the difference in our early gaming experience, especially in unique events such as this.

I believe our children are our future and I reflect on the lessons and values we taught them.
I believe the world has many real Villains,what we need are more Heroes.
*May you all be a hero in someone's life.*
There's going to be an endless supply of Rikti Communicators again. You'd think the AE players would be excited.
Lets get something new with the Rikti invasions...can anyone say AV? GM? Something new would be fun, maybe attract more people to help?
Unleash all those 54 Bosses stored in AE out on Atlas ... how about picking some random custome bosses and unleash them on us. Have them fall from the sky.
See how easy that was. I came up with something different in less than 30 seconds.
I want a giant GM like the one on the Rikti ship. Or maybe add a giant destructable mothership hovering above atlas? Like it debuffs everyone from the sky and it has like 100k HP and everyone has to kill it while dealing with rikti, or fight the rikti debuffed and kill the mothership last...idk. I just want something new...doesn't have to be big. But bigger than adding the rikti priests to the mobs...its neat but not exciting.
Rikti Invasion again? Lame.
Oh and while we're at it... making a whole ISSUE out of finally allowing us to customize our power FX colors... lame as well, should have had that 5 years ago.
Weak ideas like this will not save this game from the mass exodus about to take place to a game that "gets it", and by "it" I mean REAL character customization and a true feeling of SUPERPOWER.
Travel Suppression is this game's worst feature, well that and MetaHumans riding mass transit like tourists at DisneyLand.

PVP in the PVE zones? Hero on Hero and Villain on Villain action? Count me in!

I'd deal with the horrid lag just for the opportunity to play under close to i12 zone pvp rules again!
As it is, I'm glad it is only a weekend and not an entire week.
