Sort of. The Rikti are interdimensional aliens that got fought off in the Rikti War right before CoH launched. Now they're back, and this time they all brought clothing. Personally, I never minded the nude Rikti. How often do you get to order your merciless robots to slaughter nudist aliens? It's like killing House Elves.
EDIT: Oh that's right, you had a CoH account at one point. I recall seeing a pic of Anika in Outbreak. Well in that case, they revamped the Rikti Crash site and made it into a Trial Zone where Heroes and Villains can team up. They put in a series of contacts for the 35+ crowd and a big raid at the end. Also, temporarily, other zones have invasion events. They spawn randomly over three zones on a server at a time, or in quick succession. You get 10 minutes warning, the zone gets overcast, and then Rikti dropships come in and blast things and drop bombs for a bit. After that finishes, they start teleporting in two Rikti per person for 10-15 minutes in regular waves. If you're teaming, you get bigger and better spawns with bosses and elite bosses.
The major downside to an invasion is lag, which mostly seems to be from everyone in the zone clustering in a single spot with all their powers on, and the inconsiderate Mastermind players that leave all their pets out and then crowd the store afterwards. There must have been three bots mms with their full array of pets, force fields, and shadowfall mobbing a store in Cap au Diable the last time I was on for an invasion. Jerks. I dismissed my bots.
