Lemurian Invasion Conclusion: Now Live!
By TrailTurtle @ March 7, 2013 at 12:10pm
“This is Julie Morgan, LIVE for the MC Free Press in what’s left of the Renaissance Center as the city is under attack by a Lemurian Invasion!
“UNTIL commander Major Kwambe is urging civilians to remain calm and stay off of the streets. UNTIL is preparing their reserves for a counterattack, but from here, I don’t see much left to throw into the fight.
“Sapphire and Defender have been spotted in the area, but the rest of the Champions are still back in Lemuria itself. If there are any heroes out there watching this – the city needs you!”
–
“– anyone hear me? This is Major Kwambe, UNTIL commander for Mil City.
“If you’re hearing this, we need your help. The Lemurians are rampaging across the city, and we need a team of 10 heroes for a special mission to strike back. We’ve set up a waypoint in your computers, in the same place you’d sign up for the Hero Games.
“They’ve decimated my forces, and we’ve fallen back to fight from the buildings. If we’re going to win this thing, we need to take back control of the open. There are still some civilians trapped out there who need help, and if we can secure the AA guns we set up earlier, we can start hitting back at their Exocet fighters.
“Major Vargas reports that the Lems are attempting some kind of ritual, trying to summon something, something big. We’ve got reinforcements inbound, but it’s going to be a hell of a fight. Keep an eye on the sky, and make sure to take out any Exocets patrolling the area.
“This is about as bad as it gets – some of my men are already calling it the Second Battle of Detroit.”
Heroes: your city needs you! This level 35+ queued event will pit you against one of the most terrible foes to have ever threatened Millennium City.
If you successfully fend this enemy off you might be able to recover some useful things from the ruins, including a Lemurian Hovertank.
UNTIL have released plans for four new Grav Bikes to help aid you in your fight – the Wasp and the Wild Eagle are now available in the C-Store, while the Drifter has access to the Diamondback and the Talon.
We expect the first engagements to start at Noon PST on March 7th and last until March 27th.
Good luck, heroes…

Great this just had to be level 35 .

I have to say I really enjoy the Sky Command mission, however it seems like it hardly ever gets any players in it. This new 10 man mission was bad in its release. Seriously guys if your going to make a big deal about releasing a new mission could you put more story into it, and less confusing. What has the point of putting in the shape shifted mayor when all you had to do was beat up the shape shifted one. At least make it hard to tell which is the real one. Or put in a reason these shape shifters are doing what they are doing. The only other part of the story that's even in this alert is that the lemurians stole an artifact to raise up the harbinger. where did they steel it from? was it locked away in the UNTIL basement, why did it take so long for them to activate it? Some more explination and better stoy contenet would be nice. the actual fight with the harbinger was lame. get rid of the command carrier shooting him periodicly and make it more about the fighters. Make it so the fighters are putting up the shield and you have to shoot them down for that reason and you turn a lame story item into a fight mechanic, alternatively make a week spot on the harbinger you have to shoot that grows back. something the players have to keep track of or activate to keep the fight going makes it more fun then taking down a bag of hit points. I also agree this fight is hard on melee, in the fact that as a melee you will just die while doing the fight. Melee should have a mechanic to alow them to survive a little better or at least the mechanic shouldn't be ok you die now. This alert was boring for ranged and frustrating for mele. please try to think more about fight mechanics and make them more fun like you used too.

This was a lame Alert type mission, It seemed like someone was trying to save money or something. It should have been longer or more live instead of in an alert. Similar to the Rikti invasion in CoH.

Really enjoyed this mission. The boss design, the sounds, etc. are all top-notch IMHO. Hope they change their minds and make this permanent just like the carrier mission though.
bazodee @ Mar 9th, 2013 2:41AM
I'm a new player so no entitled behaviour from me. New to the game as melee, not sure I'll have much fun playing this based on the remarks, but will give it a go anyway... now that I know where to go to join the even :) Thanks @ fewmetflame.
lonephantom777 @ Mar 8th, 2013 5:14PM
Honestly? After all this time, the most you can come up with is limited-time-offer events? Cryptic, it's time to stop goggling over STO and Neverwinter, get back here, and clean up Champions Online. We were paying you LONG before those two games, we DESERVE more content. We DESERVE a version of Foundry. We DESERVE a better Nemesis system. And YOU need to deliver.
sija1 @ Mar 8th, 2013 4:09PM
This event is absoutly terrible for Melee, by the way. Screw you for basically requiring people to buy vehicles to be able to enjoy this event. I'll be GLAD when it's gone.
fewmetflame @ Mar 8th, 2013 10:58AM
FYI: this is an "in-character" reference to the location of Major Kwambe. You queue for the event by clicking on the "events and pvp" icon, the gold gauntlet at the lower left corner of your mini-map.
hushiforum @ Mar 8th, 2013 8:13AM
This is a fantastic event and I think the Lemurian Invasion should definitely be kept playable after the event is over. The Harbinger alone is worth a play-through, and it's great fun. Excellent job, and I look forward to more wonderful things like this. Thank you for your hard work. It's much appreciated.
rokurocaris @ Mar 8th, 2013 3:50AM
Don't panic, people! This is an alert, remember? Events come and go, but Cryptic removing the alert forever after it is rather unlikely. Fury of the Dragon was introduced as part of an event too, and it comes back every few weeks. They did remove the battle with Franklin Stone, but that was a beta in all but name. The Nighthawk? alerts, on the other hand, are also still there.
vincyre @ Mar 8th, 2013 1:05AM
This is the single best alert we've got, this is what the STANDARD should be for many of the things in CO, and it's TEMPORARY!? Cryptic, are you OUT OF YOUR MIND!? That's the single worst decision I have ever heard!
bloodx13 @ Mar 7th, 2013 11:35PM
Why are become devices the big push in the advertisements for this? I thought this game was about being the hero you want to be not riding a plane or bike.
amazingproton
Do you realize how long people have been crying for a Rideable Vehicle? if you don't then i suggest you stay quiet.
grimloke1
I agree. We wanted vehicles for travel powers, not this mess. I'm ok with having these vehicles available, but they should not be necessary for missions. or have their devices take up so much reward space.
caycepollard @ Mar 7th, 2013 9:18PM
Limited-time offers are the norm around here, sadly. Oh well, they receive limited-attention from me, also sadly. This is Vehicles Online's modus operandi. Have they 'unlocked' vehicle customization yet, at least?
gamehobo @ Mar 7th, 2013 6:24PM
Comments are back.. I'll give you that
doomedluke1 @ Mar 7th, 2013 6:17PM
I'll try it in minutes, sounds awesome, but... Guys, come on... After all the requests for this event to be permanent, all the time waiting and all your effort put making and testing it, are you really making it limited?
drainbamaged1 @ Mar 7th, 2013 6:02PM
This is going to be the best event Vehicles Online has ever seen...
variatas @ Mar 7th, 2013 6:02PM
This should definitely get retooled into a perennial event, either in rotation with Gravitar or just as a queued event like Sky Command. Maybe lose the hovertank, but keep the mission.
zoenders @ Mar 7th, 2013 5:54PM
This is awesome!
lionmaruu0 @ Mar 7th, 2013 5:08PM
thanks ppl! awesome event!
duratokgorehowl @ Mar 7th, 2013 4:06PM
I'm sorry, but this game doesn't have nearly enough content to be able to have something like this as a limited-time offer. This is the first thing you've released in almost a year and you're just going to take it away in three weeks? That's just bananas.
danillata @ Mar 7th, 2013 3:59PM
WHAAAT!!?? limited?the time to play it is shorter then the time we waited for it...
dx230 @ Mar 7th, 2013 3:21PM
c'mon now!!
elasmia @ Mar 7th, 2013 2:06PM
limited time event? rly? this doesnt even compare to blood moon in terms of rewards or scope for it to be timed.
