Grats!

Sorry, my Brute is the only character I have that is able to run Magisterium. I am working up a 50 Thugs/Dark Mastermind to give more debuff options in future Trials, also a Rad/Kin corrupter but he's not even 50 yet.

Couldn't manage to scrounge up that last VR to get T4 Reactive Interface, but might be able to try a little more tomorrow during the day.

I did toss together a T3 Assault, though, so Rularuu T4 is my only "non-optimal" slotting here. Hopefully that'll work out okay.

Somewhat out of date.

The worst I've ever done personally is buy an ATO with reward merits for the wrong AT...and tried to Enhancement Convert it to recover and got an even more worthless ATO from it. So I ended up getting something like 10 mil from 500 merit rewards. Never again will I complain about getting Trap of the Hunter for the recipe roll.

I'll work on making a different Hybrid, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to build another Lore up to T3 by then. Rularuu is T4, I also have Arachnos T3 if that's better.

At a certain reward tier, you get an account reward of a certain number of team inspirations, it's one time use, though.

Don't get me wrong, I had at least 50 badges that were removed and I was not happy to have them gone, but my view (and IIRC the view of the community at the time) was that when we first got a list of what those badges were...my first reaction was "U SRS, BRO?"

Except probably with more actual letters.

I worked for them, I deserved them, but they were a horrible idea in the first place that never should have made it through beta. Vet badges, on the other hand, I don't think we can say that they were conceived as a bad idea.

I'm not sure if this link was in this thread or not, but it bares repeating.

Arbiter Hawk has already coded the fix, they're just waiting to get a patch together. So I anticipate that the level shifts will be fixed the next time they patch us.

Grats!

Is it wrong that I'm amused by The Really Hard Way awarding before The Hard Way on runs that qualify for both?

I think even us badge hunters knew the AE badges were a seriously bad idea when they came out, though, which is the biggest difference here. And the solution was not the best, but completely understandable as they didn't want all the junk arcs designed just to badge farm. Now it's just junk arcs designed to xp farm.

I'm a little annoyed by the yearly vet badges because I have enough of the time paid badges (and it really was time paid, not buying points) that I qualify for more years of vet than I have, but because I had to stop paying at one point (financial duress), I'm stuck at the yearly vet badges I have, which is three. I've paid for at least 60 months. It's bad enough that I had to miss out on The Constant, but this annoys me even more because I at least have paid that much, just not in a row.

How old must one be to qualify for "incredibly ancient"? Because based on the incredibly scientific method of glancing at Cobalt's picture on CoH Faces, I'm pretty sure I'm older than him.

Did I say scientific? I meant stalkeriffic.

In any event, I agree times a billion on what Ukase's saying. As mad as we might get, and I've both been the guy getting mad and the guy that did something completely boneheaded...as mad as we might get, most people don't screw things up on purpose.

I'm interested to try to 16 member trial idea. I'm even more interested to try not summoning lore pets, because now that this is pointed out, it makes sense to me why we've had an epic stall on Tyrant around 30% health in the past since that's when we traditionally did summons. Hopefully this weekend I'll be able to log in during some prime times and try that out.

I think that also might make Ready to Rumble easier, since everyone can just throw down Lore immediately and try to munch away at the beginning of the trial.

I hit 50 on my Thugs/Dark Mastermind, Kid Bing, on Tuesday night during an LRSF. It's my second 50 on Champion, which now gives me more 50's on Champion than on all other servers combined.

Yeah, I don't alt much.

@Dark Epitaph

I'm going to start selecting Super Inspirations as a reward and stockpiling Ultimates in preparation for that then, Placta.

Agree with Spatch times a billion zillion. There was a night that we ran two with essentially the same league and the first was successful with no real issue. The second, we had two of the characters unlock and slot Hybrid, so things should have been even easier...but they were not. We failed due to bugginess.

Same bug, and I did solve it by using the single target attacks...sort of. It still started to lag towards the end of the battle. I wonder if there's an internal counter to decide when to unleash certain dialogue and it has issues with higher numbers of kills, since the second time I mapserved it happened just after hitting two dialogue boxes at once which seemed to confuse the game.

My wife claims the Midnight Mansion gives the Midnighter day job progress, but I've never noticed that happening.

I'm considering trying to save up a bunch of the level shift inspiration if level shifting is so important to this.

If we get a sizeable amount of them, that's probably the key to The Hard Way and The Really Hard Way if all the lights do is give level shifts.

I came to volunteer, but it was full. Grats on the badges!

My current wishlist:

Lambda: All but Synchronized
Keyes: Bunker Buster, Antiantimatter
Underground: Avatar Assassin, Preservation Specialist
MoM: Dreamkiller (13/16)

And all the Magisterium ones but Shadow Master.

But I'll go along on the MoBAF when that happens.

I haven't run one, but I've seen no indication he's been removed from the Lord Recluse Strike Force.

Sadly, my wife wanted to team up and knock out some content with her last night (she doesn't like joining large teams) and by the time she went to bed, people were done with Magisterium (and I was singlemindedly focused on getting through Cole's mission without it mapserving me...for the sixth time).

I look forward to going through it sometime soon, but I'm happy with having a bunch of the other badges, so...there's that.

Cold, they even removed him from the login screen.

Positron's Pal and Penelope Yin's Friend are new badges that you have to run the new content to get. Master of (Miss Liberty/Back Alley Brawler's) Task Force replaces Master of Statesman's, so you don't need to run anything to get it if you're a master of States.

This watched pot sure ain't boiling. I actually have the ability to get on this morning, but...ah well, I'll get to it when I get to it.
