Discussion: The Deadly Apocalypse is upon us!

Six new badges: one for each banner taken down, one for the GM and the accolade for collecting the other 5.

Well, I was just on with a small team, and it was fun. I also stopped by the auctin house and saw that the costume pieces have already crashed - from 100-400K down to about 50-55K.

My request for Going Rogue:

Lots of raids that work like this please!

I got some really good rare recipes soloing the ToT at level 50. Just today, the total value of crafted recipes I got from 'Tricks' is about 30 million blueside. Boss spawns are good!

At the same time, I got 22 Halloween Salvage and 26 of the Costume Powers.

I'm pretty happy with the drops I've been getting solo ToTing as well, but one left me scratching my head. I'm a level 50 player fighting a level 50 boss and the boss drops...a level 48 SO?!? I'm not at -1 diff either, so that seemed odd.

Just curious, do lvl 50 ToT baddies drop purples?

So I've been waiting for one of the new events on hero side Justice for about 3 hours now. Just how infrequent are these buggers?

What's the point of having three instances of GR, if all three are so lagged out they are unplayable? Keep losing connection and getting picture book, rubber banding type play. Awesome server stabilty as usual. Every event....same ol' ****.

Way too much of this going on.

After getting the deadly mapserve twice, I finally got to complete two back-to-back events (Bricks and Talos) only to crash at Wenty's

ToT is killing me on my poor li'l emp defender. She's hitting a lot of vampire lords who have a 'send to hospital' button apparently. Hard work getting those dudes down. Having fun.

I agree with Leandro, I crashed twice in less than 30 minutes and I never crash. I kept getting more of those level 48 SO drops ToTing too, not that I really care about enhancement drops.

A bit of feedback - I utterly hate that there's a threshold on damage you have to deal to get credit for the banners. I have been on teams that worked through the whole event and got nothing because we didn't meet that threshold. That's incredibly frustrating.

I don't care if people leech the badges off the work of others. I'd rather make sure that people who put in the effort actually get a reward.

I know a lot of people think the bosses are the cat's meow, and I'm all for them on my high-level characters and on teams. In fact, I'm for them across the board. But, for low-level, solo characters, they come up a ton, or they can, based on the RNG. I had a string of 5 doors give me a boss at one point, sometimes accompanied by other stuff (so far I've seen 2 minions, 1 minion, and one LT appear with a boss). Again, my 50s would mostly sneer at this. My sub 20 or mid 20 characters? Not so much sneering involved unless it's the mobs sneering at me. The probability of a boss spawn seems too high to me, at least at those levels.

Plus, I have yet to see the GM fall without some people feeling frustrated and getting snippy in Broadcast because they can't get there fast enough. I sympathize, as it took a few tries before I was able to reach him in time too. Since it is unrealistic I think to expect people to stand around and wait while everyone in the zone gets there, maybe there could be a slight delay after the fourth banner falls before he spawns? Or maybe he could be tougher? I'm not really sure if there is a viable solution to this but there are definitely a lot of frustrated people out there who are understandably upset that they can never get to the GM in time before it goes down.
