Maybe this event could be expanded to open up the new world Serpents Isle.
Like alot of players I think it would be very interesting to see Luna overrun by monsters. I don't know what I would enjoy more the banksitter graveyard or all those over priced vendors not making tons of gold. So PLEASE send a army of monsters through the Luna moongate.

Though the event lasted some 11 hours.
We had major problems at the inn clearing it. Apparently the respawn time was about a half second. Then ophidians decided to push towards the covian caves so we had to alter our approach.
Ouch.

Drachenfels started today clearing Skara Brae. Many people came together. We were rushing through the streets and into the buildings. The ophidians fell one after another, even the Berserkers. Skara Brae was cleared in half an hour, so we walked on to Serpents Hold, cleared it also. "So what now"? "Vespers next". And we cleared Vesper. Went to Papua and killed all Ophidians. And finally pushed the brute out of Terethan Keep. We started clearing Skara Brae Felucca, but a lot of people didnt come, maybe scared of Pks, who finally came and we had to stop our Counterblow.

As of 3am eastern time Sunday morning ALL cities of the invasion on Lake Austin were clear. There was no mention of Terra Keep so we didnt go there.
Pacific cleared Skara Brae, Serpent's Hold and Vesper by 4am this morning. It's on to Papua today. I hope I haven't missed it. I slept in. LOL
Now I'm not suggestiing I'm thinking of giving up fighting the invasion, or that it's not fun.... but am I alone in thinking it's getting a little silly now?
On Europa, we have cleared every Trammel city twice, killed the red-name ophidians in Terathan Keep, and even raided the ophidian lair for the hell of it. You'd think by now, with two whole invasion waves completely wiped out, they ophidians might be beginning to think 'this is not a great idea', but no - yet again tonight, Papua and Vesper are overrun.
I know there is a certain level of stubbornness in the ophidians, since they have been fighting the terathans for centuries, but at least in that war, they are stalemated but can delude themselves that they just might, eventually, get somewhere - against us, they're losing hundreds of thousands of troops and gaining nothing. Of course their strategy is bound to be a bit weird, since roughly one in eight of their soldiers seems to be a General, but even so......

Is this respawn of Ophidian's in Papua and Vesper a bug?
Pushing back the spawn doesn't seem to work anymore, we cleared it several times in proper order, and it still respawned in Vesper.

It's the same thing on Catskills - they are back in Papua and Vesper (tram) in full force. On the weekend, we eradicated their entire army - every town was empty of Ophidians, and there were no invasion forces in Terathan Keep either. The only place they still exist on Catskills is in the Felucca towns.
If we are expected to defeat the invasion forces on both facets, I believe the Dev's have another thing coming, and this is just going to be another invasion that has to be "switched off". The best players equipped to fight the Ophidians are PvMers - which is why there is no problem in Trammel. In Felucca on the other hand, PvPers hunt PvMers on sight - whether there are monsters around or not. So, most of the PvMers won't even try to go to Felucca to fight the invasion. And I'm afraid that the majority of PvPers just aren't equipped to fight the invasion forces, nor do they care to try anyway. So the Ophidians are going to continue to occupy Felucca. It's as simple as that.
I sincerely hope that the fate of Trammel doesn't rely on the outcome of Felucca. If it does, then that's incredibly stupid thinking on the Dev's part. Felucca exists as a PvPer's paradise. Stop using it as a platform for PvM.
Cheers,
Atheryn.

Exactly my thoughts...
I would really like to try to clear the Felucca towns from the monsters but some people there just don't care (they care mostly for blue players, thehehe).
Last saturday after we wiped out the Ophidian spawn in all Trammel towns, we went to Fel. It took only four minutes until I was attacked from the first red - well, if they don't want us to help *shrug*...

What you say is so true. We cleared all our cities on the Tram side and it took a huge group effort on Catskills. Some of us went over to help clear the Fel side and were attacked by PKs. So the major opinion now is let the Fel players take care of their own problem. The Devs made a HUGE mistake if they thought that both sides should of been cleared for the spawn to go away. They should of known this would happen and let both sides fend for themselves.
Once again Papua and Vespers is overran with snakes on the Tram side and some people have reached the point where they say enough is enough we cleared this already and we are not doing it again. We may get Tram cleared again but I doubt if FEl will ever be cleared. All they care about over there is fresh blood to try and PK. So come on Devs start thinking will you and don't interlock the spawns of Tram with Fel.

On a side note, I have to say that since Trammel is now clear, I've been feeding my Ophidian addiction by sneaking into Felucca and drawing the generals off one at a time.
I have to admit that the loot actually is better in Felucca. I haven't run into a red yet. If I do, my plan is to run into the heart of the Ophidian army. That way, either we'll both perish or he'll be (at least) unable to loot me.

yeah, man...
I tried to work the fel spawn just b4 the tram side respawned...
my pvm char got ganked by a red using a cast hack (casting at least 2 spells at a time) which I thought was supposed to be fixed. I can't wait for PB...
I got on a char that can pvp and hooked up with a guildmate and we killed the red several times. the whole thing was stup (but fun). I mean not only are we unable to clear the invasion because one player will not allow it to happen, but we have to deal with cheaters in order to even try to clear the invasion. It's pretty well known that many pvpers are some of the worst cheaters in the game, so why make those of us who want to play by the rules have to play directly against players who refuse to? It makes no sense to me.
The only way to fix this invasion is to make it so guards whack players that attack blues. you can't expect the invasion to be thwarted with cheating so prevalent in the game.
Well I guess another way would be to release PB...
I'm not worried about reds stopping us from raiding without being able to use their cheats. It would probably be a lot like champ spawns used to be when they were new... tons and tons of blues... occasional red pops by to try to interrupt the spawn... gets whacked.
I don't mind clearing the cities again assuming it's possible to clear them... I learned a lot doing it the first time and expect the 2nd time will be much easier. My primary concern is dealing with people who don't play by the rules.

Has anybody seen the "reinforcements" arrive. I mean do they actually come through the gate or does the spawn just re-start (my guess)? Or were they suddenly back after server-up? If we can "garrison" Papua and keep that spawn down, it shouldn't spread. (Of course, I do not presume that we will not get bored and give-up if nothing changes by, say, Friday).

Legends started at the bank, moved out across the islands with multiple groups pushing on different fronts (don't know if there was one right one or not), got all the way back to the mainland but have stalled at the inn (as of my last visit).
As for the Fel side of the world, that's a whole other kettle of fish. I'm of three minds. Either people have to (1) find a way to unite the PvPers and PvMers in a truce against the snakes (I hear Siege did this very successfully) or (2) a massive invasion is going to have to wipe out the PvPers as well as ophidians (not likely but it would be a facinating story arc to have some Tram-heavy shards "reclaim" Fel) or (3) we'll have to cross our fingers that the moongate connections to Fel can be somehow severed before anti-Tram PvPers use the ophidians as a proxy army to throw all Sosaria into chaos.
(in any case, I don't cross red moongates so I'll have to rely on the bravery and diplomatic skills of my more widely travelled shard-mates)

Yes, just a few hours before the ophidians reinvaded Papua and Vesper in Trammel on Chesapeake, there were red ophidians surrounding 3 Trammel moongates, Jhelom, Trinsic and Magincia. It was early in the morning, so there were very few defenders around. No one was fighting back at the Magincia gate, and only one or two people defending the Trinsic and Jhelom gate. A couple of hours later, Vesper and Papua were invaded again.

agreed... its sorta dumb that we have to clear fel to save tram.... if pvpers want to save fel let them do it... I think its sorta unreasonable to make people who aren't PvPers not only face the ophidians, but also have pvpers (if you want to call anyone who attacks while someone is engaged with a monster a true pvper) atack them from behind... if they wanted fel to be clear you should at least be able to call on gaurds help against the players attacking you
Well, despite the current rumours and ideas, the suspicion on Europa is that the Fel and Trammel invasions are not linked - that seems to have been a misreading of Draconi's post - but what you MUST do is kill very last ophidian from the invasion armies on a facet, or eventually they will call in the rest of the army and you are back at square one... and since they follow people running away, they can scatter a hell of a long way - tonight we tracked down two generals out near the entrance to Covetous, and a brood queen out on the coast opposite Cove!
Of course, only the devs can clear this up completely - would be nice if someone would drop by to let us know for sure...

I think we need a clarification as well, if it is fel that needs to be cleared as well, we will be looking at a very long invasion time.
Also, as far as I know, some shards have skara cleared all the way to the bank (moongate area cleared) in fel, but they still respawned.
