As expected, the rocket launched from the evil lair and headed straight up into the sky. Soon after, a red laser touched down on Tilted Towers and the rocket returned to supposedly destroy the infamous town. Just before impact, the rocket hit what looked liked an invisible shield. The rocket vanished and reappeared a little distance away where it began to move out of control. At the end, the rocket shot back up where it tore a large rip in the sky.So what changed? For starters, the rocket is now obviously missing from the lair but you can also find the remains of the rocket up north in Anarchy Acres.Not everyone got to enjoy the event. Minutes before the launch, players trying to login were left to wait in queue long enough to miss the event entirely. Even if you missed the event, you can still see the tear in the sky.The event may be over but the speculation and theories for Season 5 continue.
