Could we not have simultaneous raids on skyway and steel canyon? Those of us in the early teens who don't fancy taking on rikti have very few options for avoiding them since those two places are where all our contacts are at that level!

And what about Galaxy City, Atlas Park and Kings Row? For those below 10 as well?
Worth considering, but I don't mind if Invasions are restricted to 20+ zones or kept as is.

If you have nothing useful to say, you have two choices: Say something useless or stay quiet.
The distribution is random, you should only get raids on those zones simultaneously infrequently. Theoretically anyway.
Might be nice if they make the raids exclusive of zones in the same level range, I guess.

Rikti raids are not that frequent, except during invasion weeks (like now...) It can sometimes be annoying, yes, but its not like they last that long. And you can always hide under something, or pop a few stragglers for a bit more exp. Exp = good ^^

the annoying part of the invasion is just that there are 2-4 rikti's spawned for just one player, and if you're trying to get a lvl higher it's damn annoying to be overwhelmed by rikti being alone.
If, between L10-20 you're being overwhelmed by 3-4 Rikti, you're doing it wrong.

; Bull Throttle: Shadowe was unwise in this instance...; Rock_Powerfist: in this instance Shadowe is wise.; Techbot_Alpha: Shadowe is very wise *nods*; Zortel: *Quotable line about Shadowe being wise goes here.* Depends on the AT. Some Defenders could have trouble.

What is annoying is Zone based hunts, of which there are a fair few in COH between 1-15.
Of course, I'd rather get those missions removed and replaced with story missions (or at least made so that you don't have to hunt in a specific zone), than stop the Rikti raids.

There are a fair few at higher levels, and they just get worse. "Oh, we need some information, just go out and beat up 60 Carnies, that'll sort it." Often followed by "They didn't know? Beat up another 60."

Amen.
Although... to some people, 8 man street hunting teams is levelling.

with a boss, 2 lieutenants and a physic ape, you're pretty screwed, especially as a baster since your defense is at minimum.

My personal record for that one is 135 Carnies in a row... Go beat 45 Carnies x 3 in Peregrine of course. By the end of it, I was ready to beat on whomever came up with those 3 little pearls.

You're a Blaster, do some killing.
Inspirations are there to be used people!
Several times in the rogue isles I have gone to a zone with a riot and have it feel empty. Sure with a level 50 brute I can destroy a few bombs and defeat any Rikti that attacks me (other then the darn transports).
This is often something I note when several zones are under attack at the same time. Outside prime time there are not always enough interested players to fight off a raid in 2 or 3 zones at once.
With low numbers of players present the Riktis raids can be kind of boring.
I would personally prefer it if the Rikti only ever raided one zone at the time. Unless of cause a large number of players was present in the zone. It would concentrate the players that want to fight the Rikti, and at the same time solve the problem mentioned in the original post (at least for the heroes)
Indeed one zone at a time is more then enough. Dont bother about of prime time either. Especially on villain side. Unopposed Raids are a bit pointless and 90% of them are.
They could just bomb Galaxy City every 30 minutes after about 8pm. Some nights it seems like it...

Oh my god Blue I remember that from my tanker - the killing wasnt the issue - the sheer effort involved in finding 135 of the buggers was a nightmare. I suspect the mission creator had a headache that day lol

"Come friendly bombs and fall on Galaxy..."
To the OP, I think your criticism isn't well founded. The occurrence of 2 zones being hit by a raid at the same time is minimal and in this instance I think you were just unfortunate.
My personal opinion is that the raids are one of the best features of the game and easily avoided if needed.

If you really think that, SS, I'm having trouble coming up with a reason why you're still playing. The game must be horribly boring for you.
However, generally, I agree. OTOH, the last thing I want to see is an increase in the number, duration, or scale of raids as a lot of people keep suggesting.

TBH Rikti raids are SO common these days that I find them boring and annoying. It's no longer "Oh no the Rikti are attacking!" It's now "Oh for *** sake, not again."
How about a raid by another mob type? Or a zone being attacked by ALL of the land based GM's?
Also, has anyone ever destroyed a Rikti bomber?

Dont think so EU side but they did over in the US, there was a video on youtube of them doing it.
Hmmm might have to trach that down.
But imagine it, a zone overrun by Babbage, Paladin, Jurassik, Adamastor etc? It'd be terrifying!
if we CAN destroy a bomber, ill be one of the bomber hunter around
The code has been changed to prevent that from happening after the US players took them down. Somehow, I don't see the Developers going back on it.
