Probably at 11am, when it actually proper starts.
Now we're getting zombies. And probable GM attacks.
WAIT THAT'S &^%$@#£ LORD RECLUSE!

Seriously... Are they actively TRYING to kill their game now?
@FloatingFatMan
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
If this is all a ham handed in-plot explanation of why the war walls get destroyed so that we can get a swish graphical update, it makes sense.
But we all know this is just going to be some guy turning on all existing events without anything new.

So what does this mega event actually consist of?
"From 11am EDT on April 28th to 12am EDT on April 29th, get ready to re-experience some of the things that have made City of Heroes® the great game that it is over the past five years! The festivities will be more fun than you can shake a stick at, and will include plenty of opportunities to earn merits, badges and XP."
Can you spell lazy?

EVERYTHING!!!!!
(where everything = any random event over the last 5 years plus some AVs popping into existence for no good reason so it seems)
Poor headless Paragon. Running around squacking but with no real idea where it's supposed to be going.

Edit, ah i see, its a rehash all slung into one then.
He meant the dev's dude..
I can't believe this [censored] tbh.... Why is the "cool" stuff like developer interaction happing on the test server?
Looks like i'll be spending all day on test instead trying to get a duel

Surely there has got to be more. I've had great fun shaking my stick - far more fun than a simple rehash of reheated past-event leftovers.

Yeah, the Devs
I was actually typing "Can you spell rehash?", but figured lazy would be a better word for the /facepalm I was feeling at the time.

Ack, my brain!!
Look like all those "soon" promises are coming at once then.
An earth shattering event followed by a new strike force for i15.
BTW - My bet is that they make this anniversary super special by awarding the equivalent of birthday honours... the devs will have picked a few more Dev's Choice arcs (and possible even a new MA reward) to announce today.

Defiant is having Croatoa GMs on it, Union has (no wait, was) under Rikti invasion. No devs or mods seen yet.

Necro wins!
Flip-switched Rehash. Strike one of three.
(The three being: 1:Fifth Anniversary Event / 2:Positron's Fifth Anniversary Address / 3: Issue 15.)
As much as I think the event is underwhelming, seeing all of Atlas pile on to Ghost Widow is incredibly funny. Health zooming from empty to full while everyone gets Held.

OK - so I check the announcement and realise that:
[ QUOTE ]
Beginning at 11am BST (noon CEST) on Wednesday, April 29th and continuing until 11:59pm BST on Sunday, May 31st (00:59am CEST on Monday, 1st June), we will be issuing each individual character you log into the game with, the following 5 Year Anniversary badge
[/ QUOTE ]
Now I may be very wrong on this... but...
Usually when special events occur and give a time at 10/11 am it's because they follow a maintenance donwtime...
So I'm guessing that there may be a maintenance downtime tomorrow... on a Wednesday...
Maybe just to turn off the CHAOS, but then again, that should stop at midnight BST tonight...
So...
Any chance that Posi may be announcing something tonight that goes live tomorrow morning??

Garrggh... madness... 4 Kronos dancing on top of Atlas Statue...
Is it time for the dance of joy yet?
Hmmm... looks like i am the only one who thinks this is fun. Especially for new players... Old ones as they said, been there, done that... but for some it is probably fun.
I can't wait to get home and protect lowbies on Atlas, I knew that Kinetics on Araf will be handy someday.
Umm... i am sitting at work thinking..."They must be joking" ....
You are joking right?

---------------
It hit an hour early. They didn't mean 11am BST, they meant 11am GMT. We have a Kronos titan and two winter lords in atlas right now.
Yes, really. Just existing stuff.
EDIT: A disturbing number of people don't know about this event. Even more just want to farm on the Architect after seeing it. I don't know what's more soul destroying, the event itself or the players...
