In my tiredness this got posted to general!
Could a lovely redname please moce this to Suggestions?
Heh, I actually really like that! Trust the Family to use something like that as ammo. And some mini-arc enemies too.

Only thing I'm worried about? The Cupid minions will look like Spud-U-Like New Year.
As long as that doesn't happen, this gets a definitive /SIGNED from me.
The wisdom of Shadowe: Ghostraptor: The Shadowe is wise ...; FFM: Shadowe is no longer wise.
; Techbot_Alpha: Also, what Shadowe said. It seems he is still somewhat wise 
; 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.*

Yeah, but if their NPC enemies, would you rather they were cute or, yes, Spud U Like? I like that phrase, does some up the little...person, rather well. Creepy little kid...

Not a bad scenario but
What about some villain loving? The best thing about the Valentines mission is that it is a coop one. That heroes and villains need each other to get the objective.
And no, this isn't a mission for a villain. Imo this needs a bit more tinkering.
Mmm. Maybe next year there will be no villains anymore. Just Heroes. That would be a lovely present for everyone.

You officially need to work for NC. I like this idea a lot.
You know what they're gonna say "You can do this in Architect".
Yes, we know that - but we want it to be 'official'.
A fantastic suggestion, A_P

Sorry, but I think this is pretty lame*, there is enough surreal nonsense in the game already. making it official would make it lamer. If it was in the MA at least I could more easily give it a miss.
*I realse this is enterly a matter of taste.
I really should do something about this signature.
Bad idea, if they are going to make a new villain group make a decent one for all round use, not just for an event.
/unsigned
I like the idea of something new for the valentines event. The current one is a bit awkward with the cross faction requirements and it hasn't changed since Pocket D was first introduced.
So far this is the best suggestion for it. I'm curious to know if the '/unsigned' have something better to offer as a valentines event?

Yea nothing at all, dont waste resources on something that lasts 2 weeks.
Have an event that have nothing whatsoever to do with St. Valantine.
It's old. However you dress up hearts and flowers, it's still hearts and flowers.
Lots of good event suggestions around the forums.
Like this.
More here.

I really like it. Great detail, and good story
I liked it - I would rather do anything than re-run the age-old valentines event

The trade off isn't beween the old valantine event and a new valantine event though.
The current valantine event is made, it requires no resources to activate.
The trade off is beween a new valantine event and a new other event (such as the time capsule opening) or new missions/TFs.
I really should do something about this signature.
I think I agree with PRAF and Londoner. Trying to constantly renew an old event just doesn't work. Because? Everyone will be logging on the first day, doing it on all their toons and guess what? The event has nothing more for them. And this year, nothing new is added, so now for a few people it will not be anymore new. In fact, when I logged onto Pocket D on Monday on Defiant on 11am GMT there was only 5 there, myself included!
Some good suggestions as mentioned earlier by PRAF, also a Summer Event, Villian Group Events, and other things.
And if they are going to expand on the Valentine's Day event, at least make it so they can do some sort of love story with our characters. Now, that would be quite nice, actually.

It's also the case that the servers hadn't started the VAlentines event that long before 11:00 Monday and at least some people appeared to only be getting the message when they zoned - so it's possible that many people who were in the game hadn't actually seen the message about the event yet.

That would be a good point, except there was a lot more people actually ON the server. So most must have been disintrested, is what I'm trying to say.
I do take on board the notion that time spent doing the work (including a new faction and some creation of scaled mobs, pssibly a new map) is not preferable to the continuation of the CoX Story.
I am a fan of new content in terms of 'The Big Picture' but in this case I was also responding to a bit of a 'meh' feeling that I read and interpreted as 'Are we going to get any more special, calendar-related events or just a rehash/re-run of the same old event at Valentines?' etc.
I do feel though that trying to compare this suggestion with others that relate to a bigger picture is unbalanced.
I'm also well aware that one person's 'ZOMG! This idea is teh sex!' can be another person's 'Fail!' so no hard feelings from me on that one.
I said I would be posting my Villain version the day after but RL gets in the way an awful lot. I'm drafting it when I can and then posting in a separate thread.
To address the issue of Hero/Villain co-op - I don't like the current version of the Valentines event! So I'm not going to be making any suggestions for making it co-op. That can be for someone else to suggest in their own time.
Don't get me wrong, the Lady Grey Task Force and the RWZ in general is great fun with mixed teams. As is the Imperious Task Force and Cimerora (pre non-co-oppage (is that a word? Probably not ).
Thank you for all comments. Keep 'em coming,
Inspired by suggestions that were inspired by the disappointment of some forum posters, here is a little (!) idea I came up with just now.
[u]Mass Cupidity[u]
[u]Hero Contact[u] (Galaxy City Medical Centre): Doctor Love
Heroes: A shipment of a new heart drug, Euphoria, was seized by a group of Family members posing as security guards. Luckily the PPD were able to intercept one faction of the cartel but half the delivery has been taken. Its imperative that this drug is not allowed onto the streets it was only in the second stage of testing before coming here to be perfected by the Citys ace medical teams. Who knows what effects the drug will have on the unsuspecting public? And just think of the people who might miss out on a revolutionary heart treatment because of the selfishness and greed of those thugs!
