Ode to endless summer

Wouldn't it be cool if the Summer Blockbuster Event could last all summer?
Im really hoping it could last longer. I love the enemies we fight. I love the badges we earn.
I love the team compositions that get created on the fly.
I really like inspiring the crowd, getting Ted to spill his guts, and teaching hobos to count cards.
The locations are gorgeous,The foes are diverse,the battles are intense.
The Overwhelming Force set is incredible, And the PROC is the BOMB!
Does anyone else feel the same?
I know nothing lasts forever,but its too soon to say goodbye.
No matter what happens, I would like to thank the staff, the promotion and design teams,and all my teammates - WE ROCKED OUT 'TIL IT CLOCKED OUT!

It is good content, but I think there is also an appeal to have things like this periodic. You get a bigger pool of people interested in the event and it becomes easier to team for it. It can be something to look forward to, too.

Admittedly, this one would likely stay popular as long as it remains the sole source of KB-to-KD IOs...

I stopped caring about the thing a week or two after it started, personally.

My goal is to collect 100 ov force rewards. that will hopefully tide me over till next year.

What I'm wondering is when those other two films are going to let out so we can catch a showing?

I'd like to see year-round mini 4/4 Trials linked to the lore of different zones - like something to do with the Paladin in Kings Row, something to do with the fires in Steel Canyon, something to do with the Trolls in Skyway, and so on - they could be launched from a contact in the zone, or from the TUT, like TFs.

If it lasted all summer it would only be down for like a day or two here in Texas.


you could have it all

I will let you down
I will make you <3

Well, they now have 4 different 'seasonal' events. Since each typically lasts about a month, I figure they have room for EIGHT more so that we can have some kind of special event running at all times.

If by 4/4 you mean minium of 4 players/maximum of 4 players, then I am completely against the idea. Its bad enough that the Summer Event and the Halloween Event are constructed this way that forces a player to find three others but not more than four others to enjoy this content. My online friends and I have hardly been able to do this event together because of this min/max team-up mechanic as there are sometimes only three of us online and other times way more than four of us. I'd be glad if the Devs got rid of this poorly conceived team-up limitation altogether and just let the player choose how he/she wants to enjoy the content.

/this. Though I didn't quite last that long - I'll join if someone's desperate for a fourth, and I certainly haven't farmed it (I think at most I've done two in one day... maybe one or two a week since then.) It's just... eh. Less a blockbuster than a sidewalk-chipper.

I more liked the idea of participating in a movie. It gave some pretty good moments without having to run an arc. I'd like to see the cinema stay up year round, and have them add more features, maybe even limit the time on the runs of each one. Just link the in game theaters to the lobby map and let us pick which feature we want to run.

I would like movies where you don't play your character.

Look like the movie character, have different powers maybe

no thx

The year long Halloween event is bad enough. Let's not repeat that mistake.

Its over? I didnt get around to trying it.

I'd love it if we could just use the movie theatres dotted around The Rogue Isles and Paragon as a meeting place, as in go through the doors and just use the foyer of the cinema similar to how we can with Monkey Fight Club in Sharkshead. No event, just the foyer itself to hang out in and eat popcorn

For whatever reason, I like the idea of participating in a movie more than participate in a virtual reality training simulator.


I very seldom run team content, but I've been running these whenever I can after getting a really late start on things (trepidation to them being too much like iTrials, I guess). The promise of really nice IO doesn't hurt of course.

I wouldn't mind if the event was extended, but I do get that it can't be up forever or else it wouldn't be an event. I would very much like to see the theater return with a couple new flicks in a couple months though.


Suggestions:
Super Packs Done Right
Influence Sink: IO Level Mod/Recrafting
Random Merit Rolls: Scale cost by Toon Level

In some ways I'm glad it's almost over, because I got a little obsessive about running it -- and playing on a smaller server I often had long waits to get one started.

On the other hand, my kin/elec defender had a blast running it, turning any team into a killing machine -- and her -regen heal was great against the first boss in the Casino Heist. I think I taught at least 3 kin/ or /kin how useful their heal was beyond putting up green numbers.

I really like the 4 player team mechanic because it makes the LFG tool actually useful. You can throw 4 players together pretty easily, but trying to randomly form bigger teams for events like a DfB or other trial just doesn't work well. if you're lucky, someone forms a nearly complete team to run the event you want, but leaves a spot or two open for someone from the queue to drop in...

I've run it a couple of times and it was pretty fun.


I'll point out that the thematic underpinnings of the event make it a perfect candidate for 'return engagements', under the guise of WEEKEND DOUBLE FEATURE or what have you.

This - the filming possibilities for me are endless.

CRAP... I need to get a group who's willing to start one of these just so I can film in the lobby for a while. This would be so cool as the start of CoVIDEOHELL.

I have characters on Union, Infinity, Virtue (and of course beta). I'm sure dozens of others would volunteer.
