Quote:Lambda can fail if someone pulls Marauder out of the courtyard or not enough temp powers were gathered. The reliance on temp powers causes delays and frustrations on an uncoordinated PUG. It also takes twice as long to run as BAF.Originally Posted by MrCaptainMan
are there any fans of the BAF out there who like it for any reason other than it's an easy way to get threads etc in half an hour?
BAF can only fail if too many prisoners escape or if there are too many ambushes to get you overwhelmed. Both problems are solved by throwing DPS at them. It's much easier to explain "Kill things!" than "Look in your temp powers for a Molecular Acid and use it in the doors that are glowing with a round portal thing in front of them."
BAF is also much faster. Half an hour? More like 15 minutes. Other than the mandatory 5 minute wait during the prisoner phase, the rest can be extremely rushed. You can get two reward tables in the time it takes to complete one Lambda.
Also, what Eva Destruction said. -
Last night we had 4 people in lab, 3 squishies and a brute, and we were running out of time. The clock got under one minute while we desperately tried to get enough acids. I got caught in some unfriendly fire, and died, leaving only 3. I raced to the hospital...
And I saw 3 people standing in the door and 3 people in the cutscene spot.
Me: <name1>, <name2>, <name3>, help in lab, you three
Me: also the 3 @$$holes in the cutscene
Me: we need help in lab, stop slacking
League Leader: be nice, leandro. i figured they'd have the last one before we could get there
Two of the players in the cutscene moved to help, but one of them just stayed there without giving a darn. This is why I have a strict "you're goofing around in the cutscene, you're kicked" policy, and I announce it clearly. -
Quote:When we got the badge, we brought Anti-Matter down to 250HP. A slight breeze would have killed him. The health bar said "0" for the entire last reactor.Originally Posted by Energizing_Ion
But I was in a nice small league (12 peeps) and got the Anti-Anti-Matter badge. It was hard in the way that it was more of a nail-biter and worrying about hitting him by accident. We had him down to 3/100 and then said 'no aoes'

Wait... someone is willing to run Keyes on this server?
-
That's what we did yesterday, and nobody got caught in the green beam. Except pets. We're going to try again today with no pets and see if we finally get this badge.

Any chance on seeing the CC Emotes?
-
There are many many many badges that show only as a period if you use /settitle with their number, but don't have them.

Just don't expect me to say I live in Ciudad de Nuestra Señora Santa María del Buen Ayre. I think we were competing with El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora la Reina de los Ángeles del Río de Porciúncula for longest city name ever.

Quote:Having a perfect Keyes run where nobody got hit by the green stuff (but pets got caught in it constantly) and not getting the badge at the end.Originally Posted by James_Donner
what led you to this conclusion?
-
I had to resize Ultimte Power because otherwise I'd never get the gif file size under 4MB.
-
We just did a perfect Keyes run where I'm quite certain no players got hit by the Obliteration beam. Pets got caught it in constantly, though. No badge.

I'm no Mantid, but I'll capture these.

Quote:"Anti-Anti Matter" is not particularly difficult. "Avoids the Green Stuff" and "Loves a Challenge", on the other hand, are quite infuriating.Originally Posted by Dechs Kaison
Probably. But then it'll be about the challenges. Anti-Anti Matter badge. Mo runs. Even those will become simple after enough time, though.

How did it go?
Another try tomorrow. -
Kotchie, are you out there? We're in Pocket D waiting for you.

Quote:Okay, but how do I send them to you?Originally Posted by Antares_NA
I want pins that say "Redside Power!" or "City of Villains 4ever!"
-
The "Ascension" and "Ascension Radiance" sets have been marketed as a way to show off your incarnate status, so I doubt those would be sold. The emotes and auras? I see no problem with selling those. Same with the early aura/cape unlock. Super Inspirations? Maybe, since they are a temporary boost. Recipes and actual Incarnate boosts? No way in heck. No permanent stat boosts from microtransactions, please.

Quote:It can be worse. In my last Keyes run, I noticed that Lucy was being disintegrated, so I heal her, and yell in broadcast:Originally Posted by Snow Globe
If the healers can see the person getting disintegrated. As a healer, I simply cannot see the disintegration aura. I've repeatedly asked that the player be highlighted in the league/team window so that they can be targeted by healers.
"LUCY IS BEING DISINTEGRATED!"
Lucy paused for a few seconds, then yelled "help"... and took off running at super speed, away from me and the rest of the team. I chased her for several seconds trying to get in heal range, until the predictable happened and she died. -
Hmm. Were you planning to do this today? I'm in Pocket D.
-
I'll be there. 2pm EST should be my 3pm (GMT-3), unless timezones decided to switch around to hate on me.
-
There, I am wearing the button which best describes my feelings for the whole matter.

Quote:No, that's the "Decay" debuff present on the whole map. Disintegration targets a single character and damages it several times, the last two hits taking away most of their HP. If they survive, they are drained from all endurance; if they don't survive, Anti Matter heals from their death.Originally Posted by TsumijuZero
Disintegration only effects people not moving I thought, and movement should cancel disintegration?
-
I completed it twice; had an aborted run because Anti Matter got stuck in a ramp and wouldn't move anywhere. The trial is not hard, it just requires people to listen carefully and follow instructions... which can be more challenging than facing 40 AVs at once.
I am very much not looking forward to the Master of Badge for this one... -
League leaders can now invite people to the league even when an event is in progress. Did they try inviting you to the in-progress event?

Can anyone start a Keyes Island Reactor trial? I queued up our league but...nothing
