is that really all there is to the Nemesis invasion?

At least spawn fake nemesis so we can earn the badge -that would make them useful if not interesting.

Fake Nemesis DO spawn, and they count towards the badge. You just need to kill stuff faster to get them to spawn.

in the last 2 weeks I have started 21 threads on all boards, that is 1.5 a day
13 on this board, less than 1 a day

I suppose one could consider 1 thread a day to be a lot of threads.

I suspect however, that my threads are noticeable and interesting. They get a lot of responses and stay visible due to that.

What.














People on Justice tell me it doesn't count unless I'm the one that makes the post.

If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

They're noticeable because you make a flipping lot of them.

I got there while Nemesis was being attacked. Only minions spawned after that. So I am guessing I missed the build up phase.

That's not how invasions work.

Past the initial spawn, the faster you defeat stuff, the higher rank of stuff appears as a follow on.

At one point one of the devs explained the mechanics of it. People that stand in large groups get high efficiency from AoE damage (and buffs/debuffs) which help them clear invasion spawns very rapidly. That leads to rapid escalation in the ranks of what spawns to replace it.

So the group you were with just wasn't able to clear the spawns fast enough.

I don't believe it. Given that nothing lived more than 3 seconds. By the time I could target something it was dead.

Fake Nemesis and Warhulks do indeed spawn. I experienced it myself earlier this afternoon .

Is the invasion not on auto-spawn at this point? I've been logged into Justice for some time and not seen one in either hero or villain event channels.

Edit: They started up again.

You want Nemesis brought to Justice?

the event seems to trigger every few hours (3-4 or so)

I have to agree, I was expecting something a little more interesting than the standard Nemesis spawns that were first introduced 8 years ago. Seriously devs, you couldn't even give us the War Horse??? THIS WAS THE PERFECT TIME!!

Does the War Horse even have any attacks? Or do you want it to hover there and look pretty?

Or they could give it buffs.

Or they could just let it float there and look pretty.

Except snipers, medics, and automatons, which are technically their own unit.

The event did make me thing Nemesis needs a bit of an update. I mean even outside invasions they're kind of boring to be honest. Here's what I'd like to see:

-Medics appear through all levels
-At least one, normal human boss
-Robotic Lieutenant of some type that does not contribute to the endless venge stacks.
-Possibly let some of the humans use the sabers at their hips.

Where are the mole machines? They should be bursting from the ground and releasing the troops. A 20K Leagues sytyle sub would have been nice, too.

The submarine in 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea is called the Nautilus. Also, I figure Mole Machine were ruled out because they're technically terrain Geometry which doesn't easily spawn in/despawn.

It probably doesn't count when you spawn them on yourself.
