First! Thanks for the news Avatea! I love killing Rikti!
In honor of the recent invasion - a haiku.
All Rikti Bombs beware!
Heavy Assault Suits quake!
There are Badgers About!
I don't remember previous Rikti invasions being quite as lame as this one. Did all the Rikti fall asleep and forget to attack?

I don't have a lot of play time anymore, but I cleared some up today so I could try to get my Scrapper a Rikti sword. I got on this afternoon and waited almost two hours for an invasion to happen on Virtue server and ended up quitting without seeing a single one.
That was majorly depressing.

Code:
I24 Proc Chance = (Enhanced Recharge + Activation Time) * (Current PPM * 1.25) / 60*(1 + .75*(.15*Radius - 0.011*Radius*(360-Arc)/30)) Single Target Radius = 0. AoE Non-Cone Arc = 360.
I'm sorry, but I thought a non-stop Rikti Invasion was supposed to happen?
I guess not.
How very disappointing
and mocking to us.
Whoa....better feed the hamsters in my video card extra food and put Red Bull in the water thingy. 
Are you folks saying you're not seeing any Rikti about or that they're not being as feisty as they used to be?

On the other hand, here comes another one now so maybe it was temporary. Hooray!

Has somebody changed the ship routes, so far I've fought on the Talos hill in the usual place and been nuked by a ship, and failed to get more than 5 yards out of the hospital in Skyway before being put back there by one.
It's true. This game is NOT rocket surgery. - BillZBubba
Love the rikti invasions!
I don't suffer from altitis, I enjoy every minute of it.
Thank you Devs & Community people for a great game.
So sad to be ending ):

This is actually pretty normal for when the event begins, or after a maintenance. They all bunch up at first, then slowly spread out as the event goes on. At least that's my recollection of prior invasion events.

Oh well. Adds a new dimension to running Master of runs. (Lord Recluse, master of the Rogue Isles can't have a telephone? Really!)

The plastic tips at the end of shoelaces are called aglets. Their true purpose is sinister.

And it seems that someone forgot to tell them - seriously the last invasion weekend was light.
Well this one is far far worse, to the point of non-existant - I've seen one invasion event in over 2 hrs now.
Seriously turn it up more than just a few notches.
Edited to add:
On Triumph hero side they are basically a no-show
Update:
They just started turning up - if it was due to a long wait between sequences of runs - please reduce the time - depending on when the lull hits - the wait is far far too long
what does it take to kill a drop ship? has anyone ever done it other than test? are there rewards for it?
Two times today I've logged on for the Rikti raids, I have 2 scrappers who need their rikti swords. Earlier today I was able to participate in one raid, then my team and I waited around for 30 minutes hearing no other raids. Team fell apart and I hung around another half hour, heard nothing.
Tonight I've been logged in for an hour now and no raids. There has been a Zombie Attack, Halloween Banner, and a Fire in Steel but no Rikti. This is on Virtue by the way.
...this seriously sucks.

I would do it but I am so tired I can barely move a mouse let alone hold my tablet pen.
so somebody do it make another poster.

Wanted to reiterate this problem because Virtue invasions are still not working properly. Waited around for an hour and a half last night, no invasions. I logged on this morning to see the "Rikti are retreating..." announcements from two zones, waited around for an hour and no Invasions were announced.|

I sincerely hope this is not working as intended because if it is I will likely not be able to get the accolade on the two characters I want it for.
Jump into the battle now as humanity endeavors to fight for its survival against an armada of Rikti!
