Energizing_Ion

Thanks again

Congrats!

I like the pack and am somewhat tempted to get it but...the whole "only until 11/18" nerves me a bit...

Why is a costume pack (bundle) only available for a certain time?

It somewhat reeks of "we need money so release something and give it a time frame, that pushes people that may or may not get it to get it now before it may "never come back"!"

So what's wrong with poison (seriously asking)?

If the set doesn't have a scythe option I won't be making/buying TW (at least not right off the bat).

Ugh....tough week for me...losing (will lose since all players are done for both teams) in 2 of my leagues; and might lose the other one depending on how things go tom. night (he only has the Jets def to play but...that might be all he needs).


Of course Josh Freeman had to have a 'break out' game with multiple touchdowns and Ben couldn't put in more than 1 TD for me bah....

:P

As Morgan pointed out, some people with low graphics settings may not even see the green color patch on the ground that most see (with medium-to-high graphic settings) until it's too late.

Also powers like Destiny or other PBAoEs (that are normally green; heals, etc), might hinder some people too...so if you know the 12 or so people that are doing the trial; try to ask them to customize the colors to something other than green. Who knows, it may help.


Other tidbits/pointers:


1.) Really try to explain/say that no flying/hovering is allowed. If the Oblit. beam goes for someone who is hovering/flying someone may try to run away/back away trying to find the beam to avoid it, but by doing so they get hit by it because it's in mid-air.

2.) Try to have the leader (or someone) have some sort of macros/binds that say, "Oblit. Beam in 5 seconds!" and "Beam firing! Move away from the green patch!" (paraphrased).

2a.) It also helps if that same person tries to coordinate the people to stop attacking AM when he gets close to the 75, 50 and 20% HP "time freezes" that he does. So that after the oblit. beam fires, then you knock him down to that HP time freeze trap.

It also helps to have the taunter/tanker to be taunting AM near the regen station that AM regens on when he freezes time.


3.) Another is to say, "don't use long activating powers when beam is firing/about to fire."

I've been a part of a few trials where someone uses powers like Propel or Hurl and couldn't move because of the animation and by the time they could move; bam, beam hit 'em



4.) Only thing else I can think of is: practice, practice, practice. It really helps to have a good core group of people (4-8) that are doing this regularly...or just have the people get used to moving around/etc...It took a while for the main group of badgers on Liberty to get the badges but then it got somewhat "routine" (not really but...smoother than usual ).



Last thing, do not badger/harass someone that gets caught in it (unless you know they did it on purpose). Stuff happens, move on.

Not saying you harass people if they mess up but...just wanted to put that out there. Some people get way too worked up about it...


Edit:

Oh and one last thing that I knew I forgot to put down the first time....


If you're doing the trial and fail on the badge because someone got hit by the beam; depending on when it happened, it may still be beneficial to others to act like it didn't happen and still try to dodge the beam. That way people still get practice moving away/etc.
