All of which require me to remember to GO somewhere safe when I log off! Assuming I have TIME to wander off somewhere safe to log off!

You'll have to go places when Day Jobs are implemented (unless of course that doesn't interest you) so see this as practice for I13 .

Pff.. So far, I've remembered to do that ONCE.

Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

You don't have to go anywhere, just let them kill you and the RP safely from the hospital

No way! I dislike seeing my chars faceplant.. For ANY reason! That's why they're so damned tough. Tanks go down before I do!

How many times have you actually logged in over the last 2 weeks and found yourself at 5% health?

I've popped in mid-Apocalypse 2 or 3 times now and there has always been at least 30 seconds before I spawn any zombies. Plenty of time to avoid em.

Solution : Move away 50 yards from GG before you log off, so you don't log in in the middle of a scrum. It's not that hard nor takes more than an extra 10 seconds.

3 times so far, I've logged in and been almost clobbered, thanks to lag making my logins slower than usual. Neither of those locations were commonly populated areas. In fact, if I log off in Galaxy City (neither of these times WERE in Galaxy), I ususally do it over by the base portal.

Oh, and I've had a couple of brown trousers moments when coming out of a mission, face first into a bunch of ToTers and a massive spawn at +8 to me. Much ow.

Now, I'm not saying I hate the event. It's been fun and such; I'm just looking forward to a return to normality!

Bizarre.My not-tough-at-all WS hasn't had any issues with them at all, on Union too.

Still, since you don't even get debt if you are defeated I really don't see what your issue is to be honest. Hosp and carry on. Or start logging off in Hero Corp beside the base portal instead if it really matters that much to you.

Extending the event? Hmm.. Guess I need to up my post count:

First of all, once it started "working" I'd like to say the zombie invasions have been a nice event, especially when it didn't lag madly. I love the amount of different zombie cossies you ppl made and bringing the community together like this (and rikti invasions & mothership raids) are what I really like most about the game. I still miss the old hami because of the turn-up. It's social gaming at it's best.

...but....

...after a few days we're all tired of it. Yes it'll take a whole year before we see it again (hopefully working 100%) and yes, I guess some people still want all badges on all alts and feel the panic rising at the moment, and yes, no debt for dying as if that would be a problem, but I'm really tired of it - as predicted even when there was problems with it!

I'm even rather surprised how few showed up during the initial days and notice this is the first even I've only done on one alt, leaving my old trusted hero behind,as well as my 2nd badge villain.

Last word: Winter Event FTW!

Completly agree with you. Zombies have just been added as an extra invasion force and thats it. Theyre probably not even worth killing if you dont want the badges. Also the bugs make it even worse.

Halloween event was really scary (pun not intended), let's wait till the Winter Event where we get our ski ramps back. They are so more enjoyable.
