Can we keep it?

The Deadly Apocalypse.

Please? Can we?

More zone events are always good.

I think it should be Halloween only - but the devs are apparently planning on expanding and fleshing out the zone events we already have - so they'll be bigger and better

The event is cool, but only for Halloween. It's already getting tough to get teams for it - people are done with it for now on my main server.

Now if it were to be only a couple times a year outside that and maybe in one zone each side each time, I'd be for it.

Only if they remove hunta from tf´s and sf´s

They could alternate between the Zombie bit and the Banner event when folks turned in costume salvage. That happens rarely enough that it might make both more interesting when they do happen.

It wasn't nearly as fun as I had hoped. After the first couple of times, it got pretty old for me. I'd like to see more zone events... but this ain't one of them.

1: We fight monsters near the banners to make the banners vulnerable. So far so good.

2: We destroy the banners once they become vulnerable. Also fine.

3: A monster appears! We fight the monster. Normally not a problem, BUT if we had just left the banners alone no monsters would have ever showed up. The banners only spawn monsters when someone is nearby, and the big monster only shows up when the banners are destroyed. Since the banners go away by themselves after 20 minutes it makes no sense for heroes to try to destroy them and thus allow a giant monster to enter the zone.

If the event had just left normal mobs in the zone and let the banners spawn monsters who then spread out in every direction until they (the banners) are destroyed (similar to the Supa Trolls during the Skyway event), then heroes would have an incentive to fight the banners even if it spawned a giant monster.

Yeah, it is actually kinda sad that it is, oh no, Deadly Apocalypse, run! But wait.. if you ignore it... it just quietly goes away.

Decidedly un-apocalypse.

I do appreciate the effort of the Devs trying to give us something new while development resources are tight. But the Deadly Apocalypse could certainly use some tweaking, yeah.

I dunno, I like the Supernatural Activity better than the zombie invasions, personally. Zombie invasions are kinda boring after a while.

If they do let us keep it, it should share occurrences with the zombie invasion, so the zombies happen half as often and the supernatural stuff takes up the other half. It'd be something different, at least.

Special events are like special dishes. Serve them sparsely and everybody will love them. Serve them daily and they turn into a Big Magoid.

Keep it Halloween specific so it retains it uniqueness. However, I would encourage more similar events for other holidays.

I'm really enjoying the Halloween events but I do think the appocalypse should be kept for Halloween only. In 12 months time it will be good to get it back but if we have it continue through the year it'll be "meh."

I do love zone events, like the Rikti invasions - it's not just the badge for me, it's the fact that you do get a sense of adventure and pressure and I'd love to see more variations on a theme. However others have made the point that if you're on a street hunt for a TF then to have a zone event right where you need to be is incredibly frustrating.

I'm on the fence about these zones events, they are usually cool the first few days but the luster wears off shortly after.

In the future I'd like to see special holiday TFs along with the zone events. For example for Halloween, you would have your zone activity such as ToTing, but there would be a special TF playable during the events duration. This year the TF would have incorporated the Deadly Apocalypse along with a fleshed out story. At the end of the event, the TF contact would disappear.

/unsigned.

If it was a well designed event with a logical back story, then sure.

As it currently is, hell no.

I like the zone events around the holidays.

Halloween with the deadly apocalypse/zombie events.

Have July 4/the week of for Rikti invasions.

Xmas would be cool if it started snowing and the christmas event baddies started attacking in zone.

Maybe some new baddies for valentine's day,like cupids shootin ppl with arrows.

Thanksgiving....well I don't think Nemesis is going to make a giant steam powered turkey monster.....sigh one can hope.

How about an Event that is Paragon City? How about a Rikti Memorial day? Or the celebrating of the first legal Superhero? I am sure that Paragon City got some special events that are worthy of celebrating without having to look at some obscure hollidays here.
