No lag in any of the zombie invasions I've been in so far. Only thing annoying me about this event is (already) the number of selfish, greedy people clicking on doors and running away from their tricks instead of clearing them up. (Don't they know there's badges for that?) But then, that happened last year too.

Or the ones who deliberately see the level 10 knocking on doors and click them and run away at level 19...
Whoever you are (because the same person kept following me around for a bit), get a grip and move on.

I love this bug 
Been on for quite long now and still none on Defiant. Btw, do we get a "zone event" message for this one?

You should do. And then lots and lots of them in different zones one after the other.

it seems Defiant haven't had any invasion at all, however I've been able to earn every single zombies invasions badge on my 2 50s from Union.

Anyone PMd the rednames? 
Noticed the drops aren't too great, be nice if we got some salvage and a costume. Got 10 cossies and only 2 bits of salvage after about an hour of door knocking =(

Lag ridden piece of [censored],the servers are so old the hamster cant cope with the extra 20 ppl that have come back.
If standing still clicking the same power for 10mins is your idea of fun then boy are you in for a treat.
Bet it was fun with 5 ppl on the test centre though when they "Tested it thouroughly".
Feel sorry for any new ppl starting to play,they will get lagged to hell and quit.
NCsoft better start pulling their fingers out because there are games looming in the distance that WILL draw people away.
A no brainer for me is advertise on BBC3 by sponsoring Heroes,would be well worth the cost.

OMG SACRILEGE! The devs have assured us countless times that our EU servers are bleeding edge technology! They process data on a quantum level that technically works 5 seconds in the future.
Just a pity that it seems to be connected to the rest of the internet through a rusty 1mm wire trailing through a flooded disused restroom floor and out the window.
Have you updated your gfx drivers, changed providers, emigrated, moved to defiant?
An ad on Heroes... good idea! Best idea of the day!
Still no invasions Defiant side!

I have a fix for this.
Whenever someone clicks on the door they should either be snared in place or slowed to a crawl for 10 seconds so they can't just run away.

Good plan Vox!
Even better;
Make the ambush bound to them, as long as that ambush isnt cleaned up/despawned they cant click another door.
The ambushes chases you if you run. But tbh have not seen anywhere that you are responsible for clearing them if you do click on the door. I have all the badges from the first time this event was run and was really after the cossies only for the next 13 days, and killing stuff on my emp isnt to fast, but my ss is :P

Because it's soooo fun for blasters to be slapped around by werewolves...
I do my best to clean up my spawns (the xp is nice, and there's a chance for enhancements and salvage), but I sure don't want to be slapped around like a dummy amd burn through my green inspirations every time I click on a door.
If it's anything like how it worked in past year (or 2006 anyway - didn't really take part much last year) the enemies will die by themselves after a few minutes anyway.

It's common courtesy to clean it up. It's not fun to be at the lower end of the zone, turn a corner and be faced with mobs that are red to you. Or to be clicking on a door when the person clicking a door a little further down runs straight past you, dragging their red mobs into you instead of cleaning them up.

If you can't deal with the spawns solo then get into a ToT team, they're not hard to find.

Where did I said that I couldn't handle the spawns? I just need a little distance between myself and them. I thought that was the common practice when playing a blaster?

You can't flee - coughing will slow your movement for 2 seconds.

Okay, revised solution. You get 2 seconds of movement from when TRICK appears, travel powers are disabled, and then you're rooted, or slowed (slowed would be better I think, then you get a little movement at least) for 10.

How about when you get a trick, you're simply killed on the spot. Fair treatment for everyone.
