Wow. Cool. Did we slow down server time for everyone else as well, or just us?

Hang on a moment.
This whole time thingy thing... could anyone explain it to me? Did we enter a slow-time-warp or something? Did we come out of the Hive actually about half an hour after we went in? Did server time pass differently for everyone else on the server? WOoOOO0000?

Yes, we did, in fact, slowed down the time.
The server stress is so big that the time in there is effectively slowed, so everything ISN'T happening in real time but delayed, a lot.
If you activated the Vanguard medal you'll have noticed that it lasted at least 10-12 minutes, it wasn't due to the lag so you only _seen_ it last longer it _did_ last that long.
Same thing goes for Hasten, I used Hasten like 2-3 times top in the whole holding + pummeling phase.
If the thing you see were just delayed but happening in real time, any raid would fail due to Hami responding quickly than the player can see.
So, the pummeling team did roughly 12k damage each minute because after the Vanguard effect faded we were around 35k health left on him

At least we now know what is the best tactics for killing Hami: bring 200 heroes into hive and group them up on him. Or we were all witnesses of a new power set, Time Control.

Only the Hive is slowed down, I've seen some test on the US boards once but can't find it anymore since I changed browser and lost all my bookmarks 
OMG!!! Stupid work made me miss it all...
Well done all I managed to attend and keep up with my test server commitments (multiple pc's FTW!!) so it was a last minute thing and i didnt get a chance to change outfit/colors but i did have a non cape/aura costume so i changed to that , so if anyone saw the one hero rad team sat next to hami with TK and dominate on auto that was declining group invites that was me.
Ta for the info. hadn't realised that. Another 1 of those highlights like taking down Tyrant & then having Statesman appear to follow me around. By the way according to the combat log I was only doing about 6 hitpoints of damage a go with my blind so I wouldn't want to think wot small percent of his hit points I actually took from him, lol.
