Aye the lag was annoying. This game can't really handle large events of any capacity though. So you have to take that on boards before judging it. Plus this event was largely a stress test...so don't show up to it and expect it to run smoothly. I just took what was given to me and made the most out of it. I would not have stuck with it if I didn't find it amusing.
The Praetorians motives for attacking us were clearly outlined in Admin chat. They were there to clear up the Seedlings...and were going to drop us if we got too close. Duray said it was his problem, and that he wanted to clean it up without our help. To the point of attacking us!
The spawns were frequent for me. I guess you were just unlucky.
Not really disagreeing with you. Just my take on the event.
One thing that bugged me though was Zwillinger. We had Duray basically RPing with us in admin chat progressing the story and all that. Then "NCSOFT_Zwillinger" rolls up. Says something like:
NCSOFT_Zwillinger: Okay heroes & villains! We're Goign to Pocket D! See you there! We'll be handing out Golden Titles to everyone!
NCSOFT_Zwillinger: *going
NCSOFT_Zwillinger: I don't need to know how to spell! I'm invading your planet!

Here's some advice in CR 101: Don't treat the admin channel like a yahoo chatroom. If you are sending out a message to every tab of every player in the game make it short and to the point. The people playing the game aren't your friends. Don't act overly familiar. Don't spam. Don't make jokes. The people playing CoH aren't playing with you. They're playing with each other.
In other words: be professional.
Eh, Duray was copy/pasting from a script. Said the same thing on each server. Zwillinger was being professional and friendly I think. Of course he didn't have to tell anyone they were going to Pocket D and handing out titles that people love (RPers seem to love them moar)... I think he was a nice invader.
