but is there a badge or others?
So if my newly Mako-patronizing pirate MM helps beat up Mako during the event, can I skip beating him up again at the end of the 2nd patron arc? 
all I want to know is there going to be a badge for this event and the rikti invasion other than the 3 for the accolade?

We need better language to distinguish dev-run events of a foe that invades that happens once per server over the course of a weekend from a invasion of foes that consistently repeats throughout a weekend run by a script. |

| Captain Mako Week kicks off a Double XP weekend from 8:00 AM CDT on Friday August 10 through 8:00 AM CDT on Monday, August 13 and continues throughout the week with in-game invasions and more! Join us in Paragon City and show Captain Mako who tops the food chain! |
I am *so* excited for this event. I love in-game dev participations and other goodies!

| Especially after they created a Nemesis scripted invasion, it seemed totally likely this was going to be Coralax and Mako. |
what is the event zone?
Mako is biting in to my Magi. iTrials that I run on Mon. nights! 
That's okay, we can take a break for a week

I was sad to see that Infinity was not on the schedule. What's with that? I was really looking forward to this event, but the majority of my toons are on Infinity. I feel like the poor step-child.
I can't say for certain that is related, but just the other day on Virtue server, I was flying around in northern Peregrine Island when I saw a line of Arachnos Fliers headed in towards the coast by Portal Court. There were at least 6 (I didn't go along the line to count how many for certain), they were able to be targeted & destroyed, and they did not fight back.
That makes me wonder if it was a bad coding that slipped in ahead of time, or just the Devs checking to see if anyone was paying attention. But as a possible "source of invasion troops" I think this is a good sign.
However I have to wonder...is the 3 hours on Virtue simply when to expect Mako himself, or is the entire invasion confined to just those 3 hours? I sure hope not!

Ahhh...interesting to know that...the ones that I saw, none reached the courtyard...lol
Looking good though I hope it's not just limited to the time table, I want to see fighting fish all weekend
I hope this event is more than just a giant mob of random spawning npcs to kill. Or not another rip off of the rikti, nemesis and zombie event.
I think I need for info, before I partake in this event.

ARRRGH I made a video regarding these events today but it was before the changes hit. I've added annotations for the correction though.
I am freaking annoyed all to hell by this. I never get in on these events because I work Monday through Friday. I leave at 9am and generally don't get home till 9pm.
This time I was elated because the event was actually also occurring on Saturday and I could finally participate. Now Saturday gets canceled.
Too bad CoX hates the working class.
