Master-Blade

His bug wasn't the fact that the TF ran at lvl 15. It seems like he knew that.

His problem was that when everybody on the team was leveling up, they were still locked at lvl 10. He thought that as they leveled up, the SSK would bump up their lvl as a team, but it doesn't.. at least not for TFs as of the patch at the end of October.

My method when I solo: 3 accounts...

Main account earning the badge: 7 gladiators, including 3 LB Wardens
Account #2: 13 Gladiators, just padding extra targets for faster credit.
Account #3: random.. just to hold open the opposing side of the match.

I plan on doing the same thing again, and anybody who wants to earn the badge can just jump on the badge team and huddle up. It should go fast.. as long as I don't DC. lol If you want to put a toon on the opposing team as well, ur certainly welcome to. Thanks
Sounds like a plan. I've currently got 6 toons camped and ready to let me kill them over and over. I think Paragon has already started and is up to 100 already on the toon he wants to use.
Looks like we'll have to figure out a schedule that works good for everybody. The game itself takes no attention. I used to turn it on when I went to sleep and didn't touch it til I got home from work the next day.. then again that was when MB got Empath at 1 Billion.. eek. Nowadays, with a decent group, I'd say we'll be almost there after only a day.

So I guess we just have to figure which day and what time we want to start it off. Since we aren't even ready yet, this weekend is probably out, but maybe after one of the Horde events on a Monday night would be a good time to start it?

Well if you are going to join me, Paragon, (and hopefully the OP) sometimes in the next couple weeks, all you need is the badge for earning 400 PvP Reputation. That awards you the Longbow Warden2 Gladiator that you will need to earn credit in the Arena.

The more the merrier! It might take less than a single day if we get enough people. rofl *wishes

Having the powers slotted or unslotted shouldn't make any difference at all. I don't believe the enhancements have any effect on the MovementControl aspect of the power. The only reason a faster RunSpeed may have an effect is if your initial momentum going into the geyser skews the calculation and sends you to the wrong place, which is why many suggest taking a short moment to enter the geyser "correctly", which should negate any problems.

Sometimes, pressing a direction key while in flight will override the geysers effect, and then you can lose all the extra momentum you originally gained from it, which defeats the purpose.

I agree with you, there is certainly no need to have the powers off, but I stick by my suggestion to not touch any movement.. at least not until the last few seconds of the flight (to fine tune your landing).

As an example, if you put SS on and HOLD forward the entire time, you are almost certain not to go any farther, but even fall short instead because you didn't get as much effect from the geyser. BUT, if you let go of forward the instant you hit the geyser, then it should work correctly almost every time.

Either way, I'm glad you have it working in a way that helps you enjoy the Shard. We need more people out here. lol

lctrl, lshift, lalt are not actually modifiers, they are stand-alone keys. When you attempt to chord with them, it defaults to the standard ctrl, shift, alt combinations anyway, which allow both the left and the right keys to work the same way. There is no way to separate lalt+KEY and ralt+KEY to make them act differently.

lctrl, lshift, lalt should technically only be used when binding something to that key specifically by itself, not in conjunction with another key. The proper usage here would simply be alt+KEY.

It still works typing it like that, but it's not good practice as the L just gets deleted internally. You can verify this by doing a /bindsavefile after making such binds and checking the results.

This, I can use both SS and SJ without an issue, but I've been doing it for a while, so I'm used to how it behaves. lol

...and as a couple of us noted.. as long as you don't press anything while you are in flight, it should bring you to the intended destination anyway, or at least reasonably close.

Buy the flight pack anyway as a backup, cause even Veteran geyser travelers can run into a moment of lag or something else that may cause you to have to start back at the beginning again if you don't have a backup plan. lol

I'm not sure what exact results you are getting but this is my experience:

- I press the button
- The next ally is targeted
- Speed Boost goes off (or queued if the power is not fully recharged yet, or if the target is out of range. As soon as the power is recharged or you become in range of the target, the power finally fires)
- I press the button again
- The next ally is targeted
- Speed Boost goes off (etc etc)

I don't know why it's not working consistently for you, but the only other thing I can think of as a workaround for you is to bind another key (like numpad0) to target_next_friend, then just use numpad1, numpad2, numpad3, etc for the various buffs you might have for each toon. That way you'll be able to target the ally separately and buff him with anything you have before moving to the next person. You can even bind the fortune power to the numpad somewhere for the convenience of not having to keep it on your powertray anywhere.

Inherent Power of a Tanker = [Gauntlet]

"Each time a Tanker attacks, he enrages the target, and those around him, enticing them to attack the Tanker. Each punch continues to provoke your enemies and allows the Tanker to do what he does best."

Every attack (from Secondary powerset, not from temp or pool powers) will inherently taunt the targeted foe, and up to 4 more around it, even if it's a single target power.

There are some powers like [Invincibility] for example that are auras, and also taunt foes within melee range without attacking.

Like I said, the MACRO didn't work, but the BIND did. As for members on my team, I honestly had NONE. I simply tested it by standing near the Black Market and it cycled through different people standing there, SB'ing each one as it was designed to do.

Nope. Only if you are kicked from the team. If you leave on your own, you'll stay on the map just like before.

Yep. Even though WE cannot have a negative Inf value, the Inf value of Market fees and stores are most likely negative internally. I didn't think of that.

And I completely agree, 4B would surely be reached by anybody that cares about it. We're not saying 10B or 100B wouldn't eventually be reached either, but at least it's not a matter of 1 or two rare sales... and if the cap was raised, so would the prices, so you'd run into the same issue soon enough anyway. lol

BAH! I'm so used to doing regular TF's that I forgot those options even existed! lol

Running with the buffed enemy challenge AND +2 foes would have certainly been more of a challenge, especially with all the AVs in that arc. We would have loved that too.

Well.. I hope I remember for the next Ouro! haha

When you quit from inside somebody else's mission, the mission is no longer "Active" in your toolbar anymore, so SSK would no longer apply. I'm not sure if it would automatically show back up again once you invite the mission holder though. I suppose it's worth a try.

I didn't think of that before, but you are right.

To expand on that:
2,147,483,647 would be 31 bits, the last/first bit to make 32 total would be the positive/negative indicator. This doesn't explain why it caps at exactly 2 billion though, except the Devs probably thought it would be an easier number for people to watch out for?

If they made it an unsigned 32-bit value, it's theoretical limit would be 4,294,967,295 instead. Since Inf can't ever be negative, I don't know why they'd make it signed anyway.

Oh please... we're just fooling around. It's no big deal at all. We can easily set the option again next time if you guys want to. (Well, not for Moonfire, but the next time we do an Ouro anyway).

It was great having you and we'll see you next week.

It's actually not big at all unless you are using a very low resolution. Change the graphic settings to a higher resolution and/or reduce the Window Scaling and the UI will appear to shrink, making that window smaller as well. Also, that window IS movable. They could have dragged it to a corner of the screen and out of the way instead.
