From your link...

"Destroy each group performing a magical ritual. There should be nine of them. Be warned that other fiends may come through before the great beast, but that Baphomet himself will follow. If the rituals are halted, Baphomet will be forced to return to the abyss. "

"Baphomet will spawn approximately 15 minutes after the mission is assigned (1:45 left on timer)."

Just don't forget that the playernotes are global, so name them after your toon instead of your global, or your other characters will be referencing the wrong list.

Wow.. that's crazy. I would have believed "working as designed".. in which case it's a clear design flaw.. but I highly doubt any Dev would really intend behavior like this.

Sounds like that GM mis-spoke a doosey! lol

Hmm.. yes that is true, but those keys will automatically put your focus onto the input field, which may or may not mess up some other "startchat" binds to send to specific global channels.

The toggle bind is "cleaner" and will also close the window, whereas / and ; will not.

You don't like Autorun (R)? lol j.k I know many people that hate it too.

Actually, I didn't clear the "C" button, as it allows me to open the chat window while in Base Edit mode. If you are hitting it accidentally, I recommend re-binding it to something like Shift-C or some other key you are unlikely to press by accident, but something you can remember so you can also open the chat window while in SG base edit mode... or if the window accidentally gets closed for some other reason.

Actually, IIRC, the 3 missions that have 2 AVs in them are all "Defeat All" anyway, so you can't miss the AVs in there unless you are not in the mission when they are killed. Just make sure everybody on your team is inside the mission before you start fighting, because typically one of the AVs is right around the corner when you enter.

You might be thinking of Black Swan, who appears in the "Rescue the prisoner" mission about 2/3s the way through the arc. She is not listed as an objective, and if you ghost the mission and save the prisoner first, the mission will end. Most people recommend getting the AV before even looking for the prisoner, because even though you can remain inside the mission after it's over.. if you die during the AV fight, you wont be able to get back from the hospital/base and you may get yourself stuck outside the mission without credit for that AV, and you'd have to do the arc all over again.

An opportunity to link to this....
Hamidon attacks Ouroboros! (ok, it was just BaBs. lol)

I found a rather interesting glitch by accident a while back that allowed you to talk in NPC chat, rather than the Pet chat channel... The NPC chat DOES show up in the bubbles, and even players who have the option selected to hide pet chat (which I cannot seem to find on the new options) will still see it as well.

Example:
/macro NPC "petsaypow "Assault Bot" I am just a pet.<em>Oh look!<em>Now I'm an NPC!"

Result:
[Pet](Player_name)(Pet_name): I am just a pet.
[NPC] Assault Bot: Oh look!
[NPC] Assault Bot: Now I'm an NPC!

There is a 1 second delay in-between each line of text, triggered by a single macro.

And for the record.. editing the < > characters themselves into a macro does not work, but creating a new macro with the symbols WILL work. You can then re-edit the macro text as many times as you want, as long as the < > symbols themselves are not touched, or you'll have to start again from scratch.

In short, YES, you can still make pet emotes in macro, but they can not me inserted into an existing macro. They need to have existed before it was "broken", or added as a new macro.

I re-bound those keys to "nop" a long time ago so that pressing them does nothing, and I don't accidentally lose those windows.

No, there is no shortcut or bind of any kind to close the status window.. as it's disappearance is considered a bug. It can only be re-opened with a command (or exiting SG base edit mode), but never closed on purpose (except for when entering SG base edit mode, or hiding the whole UI entirely).

And once the status/menu bar is restored, you can exit the game by clicking Menu > Quit

Or there is also a slash command for it:
/quit

I definitely have to agree with you on this one. As a badge-hunter, I went out and got that one right away, but during the "-1 age", I did happen to get "Mo.." on a couple secondary toons as well.. and this is how we felt afterward..

That was supposed to be hard? lol

It really does cheapen the "prize", especially for KhanTF and ITF that are already fairly easy TFs. We run scheduled multi-team TFs a couple times a week on Freedom, and I can't wait to have the challenge back... but in the meantime, I still enjoy being with a great group of people every week.

Just so you are aware...
"Freedom TF" still has about 1000 spots open, so joining it shouldn't be a problem, providing the player doesn't already belong to 10 global channels.

Well look at the bright side..

This year, Wal-mart has a couple dozen associates standing at the entrance doors to make sure people stand in a line and enter safely. They also have store maps on their website so you know exactly where the special item you are looking for is going to be. At least they are trying.. lol

Side note.. apparently people were lined up outside the Wal-mart here since yesterday afternoon. Benches, sleeping bags, the whole thing. I guess one group of people even tried to order delivery pizza to "the sidewalk in front of Wal-mart" haha

nice team.. i mean time. lol

His comment/question regarding 6 toons was:
"if I use Warburg, it will mean I have to level at least 6 toons to 35? "

For that purpose, I suggest yes, and I agree with you that if he chooses Bloody bay, he might not need as many. Like I said.. if it takes you longer to cycle through, you'd need less toons. This is more of a "YMMV" thing, like I said before.

On a side note, Nemesis staff (if available) is a good alternative and then your target would probably only need one other hit (if attacking them with low hp).

I'd probably still make more than 3, just to be on the safe side anyway. The last thing you want is to be doing this and get into a rhythm and find out that you are killing them too soon and not getting credit. Leveling an extra toon or two up to lvl 15 shouldn't take very long anyway... and if it means you end up being fast enough to kill 4 toons every 5 minutes instead of only 3, that drops your total farming time by a couple hours.
