Discussion: Rikti Invasion: Coming!
well to all that complain about the upcoming invasion,I expect a full and humble "I was wrong and I am sorry" if the DEVS have upgraded the invasion .
yes this could be a same invasion that we have had for years, or they could be using this to last minute test stuff for shark week. It would look pretty bad if a much hyped event had a few major flaws. After all the blockbuster that is ending had 1 or two to start(but were fixed quickly). but with that they had a whole month for the event.

Can someone please explain why an invading army would announce its invasion beforehand?

To Positron from U'Kon Gr'ai... Valentine A message appears on your cell phone in the Rikti alphabet. A moment later it is translated into the following message: Intended Recipient: Positron. Introduction of self: U'Kon Gr'ai. Subject: Earthlings too weak. Consideration: Earth's surrender. Reason: You cannot survive. Request: Worthy adversaries. Purpose: Improvement of battle skills. Conclusion: You are grey to my threat scanner. This appears to be a message from the Rikti Master at Arms, U'Kon Gr'ai, to Positron, in which he claims that Earthlings are too weak to challenge his battle skills and that Earth should surrender because we cannot survive any other way. This could mean an impending Rikti assault; Positron should be informed immediately! |

It might be a good time to take a vacation... (grumbles about reenacting the stupid invasion events happening again)
...as for why they announce it, think about it this way, they chose to look like that, first to look like the lost, then the rikti, they are obviously stupid. There are plenty of ways to get power w/o making yourself into something that hideous, and worse yet, joining a group where everyone looks like that, no beauty left in the species. Looks might not be everything, or even the most important thing, but it IS a thing.
So they are like Cartman thinking the South can win the reenactment.
True Alt-o-holic, so... way too many to even think about listing =p

I know that the Rikti always want a piece and I am happy to serve them a slice of fresh alien woopin, but what about rularuu? I remember running my security level 20-something behind off when the eye-balls of doom dropped in. Considering that Darin Wade just got the Ravager closer to freedom than normally allowed, I am surprised by the absence of watchers outside my window. So please send a letter to the Shadow Shard for me:
"
Dear Ralaruu the Ravager,
I don't think you have it in you anymore. You couldn't devour our dimension even when we brought you to it. Come see me, because I am sick of traveling all the way to your home to take your kora fruit and hang out with the Kind One.
Sincerely,
One of the Earthlings that helped fortify your prison plane.
"
There it is! In fact, I think the Rikti would love to meet the Rularuu. Send more paramedics... I mean invaders.
I'll just do what I did last invasion: beat up Rikti and the Ghost of Scrapyard at the same time. At least that way, they'll both have a chance.
Where to find me after the end:
The Secret World - Arcadia - Shinzo
Rift - Faeblight - Bloodspeaker
LotRO - Gladden - Aranelion
STO - Holodeck - @Captain_Thiraas
Obviously, I don't care about NCSoft's forum rules, now.
In case anyone cares, on the Pinnacle server, if a Zwillikti invasion happens on Friday night between 8p and 10p, or on Sunday evening from mid-afternoon or so...
Brawling Humiliator will be there to tank the GMs that Zwillikti spawns. Wherever it is. And also brawl them to their ultimate end. Just like the Zwillmesis invasion in AP that time. w00t.

August 31, 2012. A Day that will Live in Infamy. Or Information. Possibly Influence. Well, Inf, anyway. Thank you, Paragon Studios, for what you did, and the enjoyment and camaraderie you brought.
This is houtex, aka Mike, signing off the forums. G'night all. - 10/26/2012
Well... perhaps I was premature about that whole 'signing off' thing... - 11-9-2012
I gotta ask, what is the purpose of the War Walls?
I know they're supposed to keep out the rikti, or keep them in, or something. But they obviously don't work. They don't go high enough to stop space ships, and the rikti appear to be able to turn them off at will. So they're just obtrusive.

You had one job, War Walls. One job!
I liked it more when this event was a week long. Since im typically busy on most of the weekend I don't usually catch these very often.
Friends don't let friends buy an ncsoft controlled project.
As I said before, I suspect the coordinator of this invasion is the infamous (and surprisingly still alive) Napo'Leon Bon'Parte

The Rikti apparently continue to fall victim to one of the classic blunders: never get involved in a land war in Rhode Island.

The rikti just sort of suck.

Only slightly less well-known is this: never go against a Primal Earthling when death is on the line!

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 do you know you are on the side of good?" a Paragon citizen asked him. "How can we even know what is 'good'?"
"The Most High has spoken, even with His own blood," Melancton replied. "Surely we know."

Well as of 922 am est, the devs have failed to delivery the invasion event.
Hey guys, you forgot to turn the invasion on.
I ran across a theory once that the longer you live, the less amount of time each day is to your overall life. A week in the life of a 7 year old passes sooo slowly because each day is more a percentage of their age (7 days out of a little over 2550 days) than say a 35 year old's (7 days out of over 12700).
Which means that a day passes really quickly for beings as old as Rikti.
Which means the Rikti, like me, had to stop and look at the calendar to remember "Hey, today's Friday. Where did this week go?"
Scratch that. They turned them on an hour later.
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.
