The Rogue Isles has Mercy Island, Port Oakes, Cap au Diable, Sharkhead Isle, Nerva Archipelago, St. Martial, and Grandville. Seven zones.

Paragon City has Independence Port, Talos Island, Peregrine Island, Striga Isle... okay still kinda lopsided. Maybe also count zones with Sewer Network access? Or Founders' Falls, I guess. The Red River runs through Skyway City and the Hollows, maybe that's an "access point" too?
Starter zones are out, obviously. So Mercy can be scratched off the list. And Mako wouldn't terrorize the capital of Arachnos, so scratch off Grandville. And they don't need to do it in every possible zone, either. So I could see it being like Port Oakes, Sharkhead Island, and St. Martial, while blueside has Talos Island, Independence Port, and Peregrine Island.

I think Croatoa's watersource is landlocked, but I doubt that would stop Mako. I could see him extending his rage to Praetoria too. Heck, I could see Mako randomly popping out of people's Whirlpools that week.

Dear NCsoft, if you go through with this shutdown you've guaranteed you'll not see another dime from me on any project you put out, ever.

How about?
For taking 10,000 points of damage

Its not fair that Mako is the only shark villain who gets to have Nom Nom fun. Wheres our great white head and hammerhead costume beast head option? How about a shark fin for the backpack slot? I can at least scare the neighbors in the pool with that. Even an animated shark tail would be cool. Sigh, really want a shark costume to go with this new water powerset.

During the last Double XP event I asked on Freedom Friday about XP boosters stacking with double XP and was told that they did indeed stack. Sure enough, someone in the game tested it on taskforce and it worked as described.

However, this was before the 50% and Double XP boosters were in the store so I am not sure if it will hold true this time or not.

I'll try and ask next Freedom Friday or someone else can.

As the idiot who kept making the repeat suggestion for Captain Mako Week during the weekly livestreams, I just wanted to say you guys have outdone yourselves with this one. Hats off to Fabbie for his work on it, and much love to whoever managed to take this from a half-joking suggestion to an actual event.

I suppose it's too much to hope for that the event badge is called "Candygram", is it?

OK, who's going to make the New Age woman who insists she was an Atlantean dolphin in her past life (Sonic/Water Defender?). I would, but I knew one in real life and I don't want flashbacks.

Since that is a signature move of Aquaman, I don't think NCSoft wants to infringe on a DC property. Best to leave Fish Summoning out of this.

I like that you're doing more event style stuff, but please, have some consideration for those of us who like to play at odd hours and on less populated servers. Not every event should require people to team. If you want to team, you can, but throw the soloers a bone or two, please?
yeah the standard invasion mechanic is tired, old and annoying, and at the time of day I play it is impossible to get enough ppl in one place to do this, even if I wanted to be around that many people. Let soloers and small groups have a shot too.

True Alt-o-holic, so... way too many to even think about listing =p

FUN FACT: That burst of light when you level up is actually the effectiveness escaping from your enhancements all at once.

I just hope it does not end like the Nemesis Invasion which at the end of the month was just a boring Troll in the lowbie zones who killed you while you were not watching. (IMO)

Not all villainous shark plots go swimmingly...

Please tell me that there will be an NPC mission contact named "Irwin" who will give us a 'Tag xx sharks' mission, and a temporary power "Sharp Stick".

Please put the pirhanna head and fin pieces on sale in the paragon market during this event. Perfect theme and goes with the recent launch of water blast.
