Heroes, we know the Mega-Destroid Invasion got off to a rocky start. Over the weekend, we gave it some thought, and we've decided to extend the invasion by about a day. The Mega-Destroids will now end on Tuesday.
This is also going to be the end time for the normal-sized Destroid invasion, with the daily Questionite mission from the drifter.
Cool - I was going to try to jump on for the last-ditch stuff this morning, but we lost power when a freaking tornado touched down about half a mile from here. (Note that we live near Puget Sound, almost 2000 miles from Tornado Alley...)

Wow..the most interesting thing that happens in England is -gasp- less rain V_V"
Ohhh that's awesome. Gonna be blowin' up some mega destroids tonight. Haven't partaken in the event yet with other things going on, but will try to do a few rounds now.
It has been fun, glad it is only extended one day though. It was getting a little old.
But I AM extremely disatisfied that Destroyer himself wasn't involved, or there is not a real payoff from his video. Figured it would have led to an actual ending or story to it. Oh well.
Thanks again for taking ownership of the rocky start and doing something to pay us back. Good work Devs

I am glad Destroyer didn't show up as some mob to fight, because he is a super powerful person and just a bunch of heroes beating on him willy nilly to defeat him would have removed tons of his mystique.

...Yes. Because a man in super advanced power-armor is mysterious. Especially one that constantly cackles and taunts us over the RenCen billboards. That would have ruined our pristine imagine of him and his badassery.
It would have been fine to fight him as a single enemy. Perhaps as a level 80 Cosmic. We get to fight TAKOFANES who teased us for a few years with an appearance before sending another enemy to fight us, so why not Al?

Dr. Destroyer is -the- most bad **** villain ever. It's possible (not that knowledgeable on LORE) that he is superior even to Menton, in fact I think he is, Menton worked for him.
UNTIL reports from way back when, spoke about Destra II or something his island which would be in game...if we ever were to fight him..well..that would be the real end game.
Oh, and amended - now that the storm track has been better analyzed, the tornado apparently came within half a block of my house. The end of the street is pretty messed up...

Because if you come close to beating Destroyer, he does stuff like nuke an entire city. Plus, in the pnp, there are rules about how incredibly impossible he is to defeat. He makes the Tarrasque look like a chihuahua. You think people were mad about how hard Destroids were to take out? That wouldn't even be a warm-up for a proper Destroyer, he'd be one shotting people for the tens of thousands of hp.
I wouldn't want to see any less.

Oh of COURSE! Defeating Destroyer should be a challenge worthy of praise, I agree. But he should still be a battle. Atleast driving him away like Tako.

he should definitely be beatable, but it should be at least 3-4 times harder than mega destroids+gravitar combined. don't give it a short time limit though or it will never complete. and if it never does complete theres no point.
Well, given that Gravitar's beaten him before... Then again, her gravity powers are a lot stronger in PnP than they are here.
Honestly, I don't see the problem with a bunch of heroes being able to take him on, Taco Face-style. Yeah, he's a badass, but he can still be taken down by sheer numbers. He shouldn't be farmable, sure, but the possibility to screw up his plans should at least exist.
Shadow Destroyer took him out without too much trouble. In fact the only reason he's still alive is because Citizen Harmon was keeping him around for his tech.
(Of course, Harmon also beat "Dr Defender" as well and KILLED him so maybe the Big D is a bit tougher than his Multifarian counterpart.)

We don't know the details of that encounter but I suspect it was because Dr D was not prepared for the sheer massiveness of Shadow D's army.
Heck Dr D didn't even bring any of his better minions, while Shadow D had all of his.
That's the other thing to consider, invading Dr D's
asteroid belt
base would logically involve a lair with may bosses, such as Rakshasha, Gigaton and so on that'd we'd have to fight first.

Here's the problem with any in-game encounter with Dr. Destroyer:
What would he unleash with a literal dead man's switch?
Choose your enemies carefully, because they will define you / Make them interesting, because in some ways they will mind you
They're not there in the beginning, but when your story ends / Gonna last with you longer than your friends
The Event Literally ended during the Mega-D invansion was still on
causing the Mega-Ds to Dissapear to the Void while people were actively doing the Open Mission!
Wow... :rolleyes:

I'm just happy it worked this time, false start aside.
So no big thing after that I guess?

Thanks! The extra dat was appreciated. Though I'm surprised you didn't do a videocast of it. Perhaps one day when you have time, you can flick the switch and give it one more try for the folks at home.

Heh, I tried to get it running on Thursday, but it was taking way too long to patch (I stream on a different computer). I thought about doing a stream on Friday, but ultimately, just wasn't time.

Personally I feel it is just silly that this game does not have you fight the biggest bad in the liscence.
Don't get me started on Mechanon as well...
