Rikti vs. Zombies

Hi Justice, us crazy Oceanics have hatched a scheme (ok it was just me) to try and have a Rikti invasion and Zombie invasion simultaneously in the same zone. We'll be doing this next Wednesday in our evening, so early morning in the US, and of course, the more the merrier! We'll be mainly in the Rogue Isles because us Oceanics are just like that.

The goal will be to have as many teams running the Lady Grey Task Force as possible, but to hold off on finishing it. (Leave one person on the last map with a single intact pylon thingy, preferably a dual-boxer.) The rest of the players go and wait at Granny Beldam with their Halloween salvage (or start a new Lady Grey if they want). When the announcement comes for a supernatural event (or rolling Zombie invasion) we finish off those Lady Greys, and hand in the salvage, cross our fingers, and watch that event channel carefully.

With the smaller number of zones, we're more likely to have luck in the Rogue Isles anyway. I'll be starting at 20:30 Aussie Eastern time which is 04:30 US Eastern time, and I have no idea when the plan will bear fruit.

I can't do this because of the time, but man I hope your plan works! This would be awesome.

There is mutual exclusion on invasion events. Only one can occur at a time.

That would have been my guess. Do you have a reference Quat? Any idea how this interacts with GMs?

Believe it was Castle during the event testing for the zombie invasion last Halloween. I'm not sure that it would interfere with the Halloween GM spawns since they're not technically a zone event.

It's too bad it's not possible. It would be awesome to see both occur AND to see the rikti and zombies fighting each other.

They mentioned it again this year in the context of 'you can't have zombies and banners in the same zone'. Quite a few people have thought of trying it, and a few did just in case it was bugged, without luck.

I have seen some of the GM's take on rikti before, its kind of amusing.

The next best thing is to have multiple babbages during an invasion of skyway.
