Actually it's been fine for since they patched the portals. I've had portals where only 2-3 guys and gals try to hold of the horde, which is actually getting close to a challenge (not really tho =P ) And surprisingly the loot isn't all that bad anymore, even for my poor rogue.
Thx for the info Kingbullgod, I've been dropping in on your TS every now and then the last couple days, but it seems to be kinda abandoned. So it seems like I'm still looking.
I lowered the graphics to minimum for this event. The game looks like bull manure, but at least it's not hovering at the edge of complete lockdown after the portal closes.
