Neither did it have to be a movie in a game where they know fine well a lot of people like to play solo.

Not that I disagree with the original "hey, being able to solo these events every once in a while would be nice" sentiment (because it really would be nice), but...

Alan Rickman was at least as much the star of the first Die Hard as Bruce Willis was. Limiting "star" to only "single protagonist" doesn't work. Who was the star of the original Terminator? Who's the star of any given Nightmare on Elm Street movie? Who was the star of The Avengers? Pulp Fiction? Lethal Weapon? Se7en? Face/Off? Sleepless in Seattle? Remember, you only get one.|

FUN FACT: That burst of light when you level up is actually the effectiveness escaping from your enhancements all at once.
It's already up 
For some reason, the Servers are still down for me... >_<

Nor does having an all star cast ensure quality. Meh, no reason yo do the event really in that case. The system isn't fun and the only character who I sorta wanted the enhancement for is my LOLPeacebringer who can just as easily stay retired.

Sigh....
Time to start farming. Any chance we'll see an independent KB>KD IO?
The City of Heroes Community is a special one and I will always look fondly on my times arguing, discussing and playing with you all. Thanks and thanks to the developers for a special experience.
ive looked im prob blind
but
is the event side specific or co-op

No, Bruce Willis was the star. The movie was about him and his travails. Gruber and the rest of the Germans were obstacles.|

Yes, it actually does work. You are misreading what I typed.

Both - it launches from the LFG tab, so you can form a team in a blue zone, a red zone, or in a co-op zone.

Rickman's performance was just as important as Willis's. The interaction between their characters was one of the primary things that set Die Hard apart from previous action movies and is one of the reasons it's still held up as the standard today. Two main characters, two integral performances, two stars.|

Wow....Please don't confuse "Star" with the lead actor. Not to switch movies on you, but Bat man begins had tons of stars: All who were 100% better than Christian Bale. And in Dark Knight... well it goes without saying that the joker was the star. Bat Man (CB) was the main character, lead actor, top billed all true... but none of those things, alone, define a "star".

And in Batman & Robin (ugh)... the actor playing Batman didn't even get top billing. Nor did Robin, for that matter. Mr. Freeze did.|

One example.
And another.

Sigh.
The event is really fantastic, interesting and most of all creative.
And i would have been there severall times before loosing the interest...
But to block the recieved IO from Conversion and the Auctionhouse is just &§/&/&=(%/&/T§%$$% (excuse my words)
Well, I was unable to put one of the Event IOs in the market, nor did I see any for sell there.
Is this WAI?
I thought they said the item was supposed to be able to go on the AH?

I posted about it in the Bugs thread; their response implied 'bug'.
Apparently, I play "City of Shakespeare"
*Arc #95278-Gathering the Four Winds -3 step arc; challenging - 5 Ratings/3 Stars (still working out the kinks)
*Arc #177826-Lights, Camera, Scream! - 3 step arc, camp horror; try out in 1st person POV - 35 Ratings/4 Stars
No warnings that the event has a forced level cap of 29? Heading in with IO sets left me with basically unslotted powers against the AV class encounters.
Is there a list of badges available from this Event? I've got 10 so far, and I am wondering how many (if any) more of them there are. Very tough to be hunting badges if you have no real idea what you are hunting for....

im amazed we didnt get a new raid..maybe movie monster raid?
we could have 100 creatures of black lagoon attack then 5 elite boss monster ( say frankenstein) and then 1 av say King Kong ape like monster....
as Ood Sigma said....We will sing to you, Doctor. The universe will sing you to your sleep. This song is ending. But the story never ends.
Woohoo, another Event!!! Always better than wastring some of that development time on silly old tasks like updating years old content, fixing issues, or improving Qol.
It's 106 miles to Grandville, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing faceless helmets
... Hit it ...
... Hit it ...
And it's much like anything else, there's good and there's bad. There's some movies that have multiple big name stars that turn out to be godawful, boring drecks of films.
I would prefer that people have the option to do these at least some of these things solo rather than forced teaming. What have we really got for solo things in events? Valentine Deliveries, skiing, Trick or Treating (though if you're a lowbie, you'll spend more time hospitaling that fighting due to the placement of bosses in the spawns), opening presents, and Baby New Year. That's about all I can think of and three of those have been around for multiple years.
