CoV Beta - Statesman's Strike

So the event is over, and while it was kind of cool, it was very chaotic and less of an event and more of a mass constant brawl. During it all at random intervals and at random points on the map portals would show up ( oddly enough, they were using the Ruluruu portal object, it even was Ruluruu faction ) and out of it would pour hordes of lvl 50 Longbow agents. Well, while they were level 50 they actually were all treated as Giant Monsters so we didn't get slaughtered but it made for some long knockdown-dragout fights.

But the high points were when the Dev's would show up. There were a lot of Dev's running around named things like "Agent Hawk" who was a uber-Longbow agent ( prick had the Storm Summoning pool, I hate being on the recieving end of a Giant Monster's hurricane ) but occasionally one of the main dev's would be on as one of the Phalanx heroes. I only saw four of them myself.

Synapse, Sister Psyche and the Back Alley Brawler showed up once as a group when I was there and we took Synapse out, but the Brawler ran away and while we could get Psyche down to half, her Repulsion Field kept anyone from getting close enough to actually hit her.

Later those three showed up as a group again with Positron in tow and that time we took out Synapse and the Brawler, but Positron we couldn't keep held for long enough to keep him from healing himself and we still couldn't get into melee with Psyche.

One good moment was when Synapse stopped running around for a couple seconds to taunt someone on 'local' and reply to a taunt someone else said and a dozen or so stalkers all landed crit's on him from out of hide and took a huge chunk from his health. Both times he fell it was largely due to the herd of corruptors who were enjoying the huge scourge damage they could do to him when his health got low.

I missed actually seeing the Brawler go down though, I was too busy trying to get a hold to stick on Positron and failing, but that was apparently a pretty epic fight as well.

But I got some good screenshots I'll have to go through tomorrow and add on to this post then. After the event was over we got everyone we could in zone to gather back up around Kalinda, the first contact you get, and use the 'holdtorch' emote so there is a couple shots of about a hundred of us holding up torches and asking for more heroes to spawn so we can beat on them.
