Rikti Speculation

So, has anyone else noticed the huge number of rikti invasions? First we had the weekend and then...well, they keep coming and coming and coming, just like the invasion weekend, except its NOT an invasion weekend. I'm wondering if this means the invasions are now tied to some event (such as a player becoming an incarnate) or if its a subtle hint that something big involving the rikti is coming. SOmething like I20, perhaps? Any thoughts?

Its due to all the LGTFs being run. When a Team beats that TF the Rikti launch an invasion into a zone.

This is very true. There are a lot more people running LGTF for the shard drops.

We did, however, get dev-triggered invasions prior to the release of Issue 19. There's a story reason for this, which is revealed in the Incarnate TFs.

As far as I can tell, they have been tied to the completion of LGTF since it was released in Issue 10 (July 24, 2007).

The second to last mission in that tf iirc.

Completion of the task force. I've routinely finished the TF and then gone off to deal with the resulting invasion.

Yup. Personally i find them rather entertaining. Unless i'm on a Numina TF and they're invading a zone i need to hunt down regular mobs in. Then it's annoying.

i also like the Malta Action Figure morality mission, even if it's now a bit slower and drags on compared to how frenetic and fun it used to be, so my liking something is not necessarily a sign that most people will or do like it.
