Earth for Humans in 2010!
I'll certainly try to be there with 50 dark/dark tank. I've never done it so I'll need some guidance.

Don't worry. I've run several of them and I'm becoming quite good at it. 2 bits of advice, well one since Pum got the first one. But second one: Before the raid actually kicks off, knocks your graphics down to minimum. Good sized Rikti Raids get furious and intense and the more you ask the game to render, the more lag you'll need to deal with.

I would like to announce the completion of the first Rikti Mother Ship of 2010! It a furious battle with the Rikti throwing everything they could at us but we pushed on and prevailed! The Rikti Ship has been severely damaged and remained inoperable at this time.
Thanks for organizing it and I loved the speech with the emotes and all LOL.
I know we lost count of how many teams we had at 5 or 6 and I know the area filled up so I suppose the lag was to be expected. Even on minimum graphics it was like a stop-motion movie and I was frequently unable to tell if my power wasn't activating because of lag or because I was too far from the enemy though he might appear to be right next to me. But it was fun and Shadow made 241 merits which is really cool. Only need 90 more to get the storage bag.
I'd post a pic but none of them came out very well since the graphics were down so low.
[Edit] Oh, and I fought quite a few Magus rikti but didn't notice they were any harder or different than the normal rikti. So I still have no idea why I was warned about them.

Really? Than you must not have been paying close enough attention.
Kidding. Seriously though, Magus are Lvl 54 EBs with high resists, decent damage and they cast targeted AOE disorients. Even a handful of them can quickly cause an entire normal sized raid to wipe if not dealt with. If the raid is on its toes, sticks together enough, and has as many teams as it sounds like were on this event, then no they aren't really a problem. But then, with a large enough group...nothing is really a problem.
With the lag it's definitely possible I just didn't realize how bad they were.
Lets send the Rikti a message for the new year and the new decade!
January 2, I will be leading a Rikti Mothership Ship on the Justice Server. Kickoff is slated for 9pm Eastern time.
