Forum Malvanum Arrives Tomorrow

Ladies and gents, heroes of all powersets, the Forum Malvanum alert arrives tomorrow! The maintenance announcement has been posted, with a start time of 7AM Pacific.
I'd like to take a moment to thank everyone who playtested and gave us feedback. We got a couple of really good changes made as a result, and I think they really helped the alert.
The coliseum awaits, heroes -- Ave Malva!

Display normal Internet behavior. Come and make fun (yes, make fun) of my PRIMUS page.
Don't worry, they'll be nerfed to 30
Here we are now going to the West Side

Some may come and some may stay

Oh the Joy. Eh, It can't come near to spoiling it.

I even have a new costume i've been working on for Dr Cerebellum using some of the pieces i got doing the fun races (yep i really really really enjoy the races!). Hmm i better get it finished.

Oh how I hope.

Will the Forum Malvanum Alert stay (as the Sky Carrier alert) or will it be recurrent as the others Custom Alerts (Grab the money, Red Winter, etc...)?
Will the races disappear once the Forum is on Live??
Thanks.

@Moustic in game.
Gold since 2009. Lifetime since May 2012.
I play with freeforms AND archetypes.
The dailies stayed active until the end of the Lemurian event; it seems reasonable to assume that the race will remain until the end of the current event.

Will most likely stay till around mid to late June? Then be removed. That's my own little estimation anyway.
Seeing as its an event, I'd compare it to Harbinger Event mission which stuck around for a bit.

I am disappointed--I guess I assumed it would be something like the Harbinger mission, rather than something like Red Winter (the best analogue).

Congratulations on losing your $#!^ because Cryptic delivered exactly what they told us they would when Forum Malvanum was announced. Epic tantrum, 10/10, would foot-stomp again.
If you want to go off on Cryptic later, because we're facing down another disposable event after this, and we're celebrating the one year anniversary of our last State of The Game (and that's coming up real soon), I'll be glad to light your torch and hand you a pitchfork. Until then, use the time you're not playing to learn to pick your fights better.

Did anyone use AT's during the PTS?
LOLNOPE.
Is it wrong that I now really really want to do this just for the novelty of getting a giant feathery eyebrows costume part?
It's actually a minute thirty now unless they unfixed the change.
However, there is a critical bug - if you encounter PSI on Round 7, it WILL FAIL EVERY TIME. A mob goes and runs through the entryway wall and falls out of the world.
Thanks for reading our bug reports, Cryptic. Again.

Try as you want, there is no chance to win this alert. And even if you could, you would only have a small chance to get one of these rewards. You might as well try getting Therakiel's Blade instead. :rolleyes:
Also, it was really nice of Cryptic not to include the lost Gladiator pieces from Nemcon. :mad:
It's not hard.
Although I would say it's not entirely friendly to low levels, but then again you don't fail the alert if you fail a challenge.
There was testing done with AT's actually, and they performed decently.
Even with two level 40s and two vehicles, the damage we dealt in 1:30 minutes was barely visible on thier health bars.
Frickin' Sky Command was easier to win than this!
I've seen competent groups go through this. None have passed since it came out.
My DPS build is QUITE competent, and my mods are top-notch and I'm rocking legion gear. I know what I'm doing.
I'm not dying. I'm running out of time. Mind you, we've had 3 of 5 people on the team using 2-gun mojo and laying down roughly about the same amount of damage. And yet we STILL failed, and none of us were dying.
Broken. Needs more time.
EDIT: Let me be fair, this is otherwise a pretty awesome alert.
Well...people have been complaining that the game was too easy for some time now...

LOL. I like how instead of actually ignoring them you have to tell them you're ignoring them.
people were complaining because they wanted a challenge, not a CO version of spocks "No-win simulator lesson" where you'll always lose
Alas yeah thats the best any of the teams i've been in got to. We almost got 1 of them down in the time.
Heck one team failed as soon as it went to timed waves.. maybe all the rest were new to the game or something.. and Dr C has always been a glass hammer. We never stood a chance in that one.

Over in STO, people actually beat the Kobayashi Maru Scenarion on a regular base. It works pretty similar to the Forum Malvanum alert too; a survival map with multiple (but not endless) waves of enemies. I'd like to make a comparison on the difficulty, but I never played it.
Anyone here who tried both?
Cryptic nerfed the Kobayashi Maru!? Kirk and Spock are gonna be so ticked off when they hear this.

I see your problem there, two vehicles.
I suggested trying the alert using ATs and/or low level freeforms while on the PTS this past Tuesday. The overall response to that was "why bother?". I hear "some" degree of AT testing was done but the trend on the PTS is most testing revolves around 40s.
No, one power (because its bugged) outperforms FFs, and only if you clump up mobs.
Beyond that, vehicles do absolute bunk for damage and should never, ever be used for DPS races.

Yeah...well, with bugs in this game...you might as well just consider them working as intended.

Once again a bug that was reported on the ptr makes it live, this time preventing players from advancing through the event.
DPS huh? My pet builds been itchin for somethin like this....my army is ready....
He probably is breaking the rules again by talking about disciplinary actions on the forums as well as creating a new account to bypass a ban.
the first time we lost, it was from kB letting them near the wall, the second time. the agent ran straight for the side wall.

Someone still can't follow the forum usage guidelines, that much is for sure.
It's not only PSI. Argent can run away as well. Not sure about VIPER.
Funny how this inadvertently ends up being Vehicles Online yet again
Probably why he keeps getting banned. Weren't you quitting the game?
Had 2 posts deleted, not edited, simply deleted, like I've not even posted anything, without notification, without even an email or nothing...
Probably, that's the new policy?? If you say what you think, your posts will be deleted?
(This one is probably going to be deleted too, so... whatever...)
No one cares.
