Quick! Grab him and give him a grilling!
@FloatingFatMan
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Oh, and the Ski Chalet is open
yodddelleeeeyyhheeehooo...
This is about a quarter of the heroes who were on Defiant Atlas Park at the time. The rest were watching intently... and sure enough, 5 seconds after this was taken, GhostFalcon dropped a Kronos on us
Is it time for the dance of joy yet?
Hey, been very busy the past few hours, swarming like locust at anything that dares move 
Rather fun.
Well I've been having fun, taking a break from the madness now but I can understand the feelings, would have liked to have seen the Rularuu invasion (may have happened but as said, taking break)
Still I has screenshot which I took for giggles.

Well I must admit I wasn't very impressed when I heard what todays event was but running around Atlas Plaza beating the snot out of GM's and AV's is hell lotta fun! At one point we had Lord Recluse, Kraken, Adamastor and Jurassik on us all at once!

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??
[/ QUOTE ]
Surprised I've not had any comment on this - not even a "JD you're being a fool"...
But wondering further on this...
I've been wondering why Posi is doing the address when he is.
I'd guess that making an announcement at noon PST would have made more sense to me... that'd be noon in California, 5pm in NY, 8pm in UK, 9pm in central Europe.... much more hospitable...
So I'm wondering if it's either:
* CoH was originally 'switched on' at 8pm EST (the address time);
* Posi wants to announce something at the evening that goes live the next morning.
I don't know exactly when CoH went live, but 8pm EST seems very odd so I'm discounting that. But the latter interests me...
Ok - foolish optimism maybe. But I can still optimistically wonder...
Until then: anyone think of any reason why Posi is doing it at the time he is? Or is it just to let the West coast get home from work and logon?
By my mohawk shall ye know me!

Hope this is still going when I get home from work, I need half those badges!
Cancelled in Three - MA ID #34608. Please play and comment! Top 10 placing in Projectionist's MA contest!
Just got 'Blackguard' hunting the PvP heroes in 'Aeon City', might I add that having done it several times. It's a whole new experience in a zone like 'Cap..'. I love it!
And the fact that my rad got killed, I counted, over 14 times by synapse and statesman alone. They are targetting us!! :P

Hard to interpret what the smiley means...
I was saying it should have been 8pm UK IMO.. as it is we're looking at 1am.

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.

My brand-new new Level 4 toon has now got the proof of a defeat of Lord Recluse, Sirocco, a Kronos Titan and a Winterlord, among other things including Rikti.
Oh and she just spoke to Ms Liberty for the first time. Defeating the entire game's big bad before lunchtime? Awesomesauce.
Blueside Union: Starblayde (Blaster), Pax Imperia (Tanker), Pax Britannia (Defender)
Redside Union: Natasha Redshade (Stalker)
Still any word on when the Devs are going to turn up on test or has all the hostility decided to make GR/Avatea tell them, "It's probably not worth turning up, unless you like being covered in virtual spittle of an angry mob..." as I seem to gather from the forums.
Badge Earned: Wing Clipper
A real showstopper!
I did try logging in, but everything froze solid. Not the best time to have the uber-lag. 
I was hoping to pick up something like the Winter Event badge you get for knocking over a Winter Lord - can you get those badges, or just more of those puzzling Merit things?
Yeah not turning up will really improve relations.
I actually wouldn't mind castle turning up since he is one that actually interacts with the eu community.

My afforementioned Lvl 4 (now 5) has the following badges:
Aracnophobic
Mistress of Olympus
Sandblasted
Frozen Fury
Poltergeist
Wrangler
Entrusted with the Secret
and Sentry
And about 40-odd Merits. So, yes, you can pick those up. More lag than a Mapserver disconnect, but worth it if you're after things like that. Kronos Titans and Winter Lords raining like, er, rain really.

Devs will begin arriving on the Training Room late afternoon / early evening our time. It's still only 7am in San Francisco.
Any heads up on the zone yet GR?
Pocket D I take it?
Since I already missed the event due to the GREAT time planning by the gms, nobody even knew anything was going on.
Ghost Falcon has been chatting in Global and Local in Atlas on Defiant so he's about.
Edit: on Live that is!

The event is on all day.... you haven't missed anything.

Now we're able to get some of the hardest badges in the game so easilly - indeed, before we've even leveled up for the first time, can I please have all of the Veteran Badges with my 5th Anniv. Badge? You know, if they're just been given away like this lot.

It's like defeating a random spawn of Illidan before you've left Goldshire (to grab a random other MMO analogy)
Fun, yes (after all Posi promised us fun!) but a little - in fact completely - pointless.
Is that 5th Anniv. badge kicking in yet, or do we wait til the event 'properly' starts stateside?

To be honest though, the whole badges thing was negated when they decided that after a number of people had been lucky enough to get some badges that they weren't supposed to have, they moved the goalpoats to prevent anyone else getting them. That meant it was suddenly impossible to catch the lucky few in badge counts...and lets face it, apart from bragging rights, the badges themselves have no significance.
I kept trying to take pics of all the people on Atlas steps, but a certain naughty GM kept dropping Giant Monsters on us just as we were about to take the shot...
