    Ok, so far we have:

    Champion:
    1. Alien
    2. Memphis Bill
    3. DebtLover
    4. ShoeTattoo
    5.
    6.
    7.
    8.
    9.
    10.

    Infinity:
    1. DarkEther?
    2.
    3.
    4.
    5.
    6.
    7.
    8.
    9.
    10.

    Any others? Pick a server, and as long as we have enough interest on that particular server, I'll jump in. (We have 6 free transfers a week, you know!). I may play one night with a bunch of people on one server, and then switch to another server for another night with a bunch of other people... I just want to know what it's like to hang out with you guys and team up!

    I'm fine with Champion. As for a challenge for an all Kheld team, there is always MoITF, MoKhan, MoSTF.

    Well, with free server transfers, it's now possible! 6 free transfers a week until the end of January...

    So, what you waiting for?!?!? Let's see if we can set a server to all gather on and a day/time to play, and we'll all take on some of the toughest challenges in the game together!

    Once we're done, we can transfer our Khelds back to where they were before and go back about our business....

    What'ya say? You in?

    "Alien"

    I'm down with this. Let's pick a server and time/day.

    There's a small but vocal group of people who seem to view this as the only possible reason that NCSoft would allow for free server transfers. It'd be best to nip that chatter in the bud as quickly as possible.
    Mod 08 already clarified that when he shut down the other thread. No merge is coming.

    I would love to move one of my characters over but really don't want to delete an existing one to fit him in.
    You must have open slots.

    * maybe some folks wouldn't buy transfers, but given free transfers they might be willing to buy additional slots on the target server?

    * marketing is just being nice?

    * DOOM??
    In order:

    $9.99 per alt adds up fast
    I can see this as prep for GR.
    I can see this as an incentive for server slot purchases
    Marketing being nice? Well 'tis the season for giving.....
    No doom here.

    The message box says its for the holiday season, they may be gauging for a merge but I doubt it.

    It could be an overly generous x-mas gift, or else a doozy of an error.

    Nope. Tried it with one of my stones as soon as I activated it.

    Also all my stones have 90% run boost from IO sets plus triple slot swift.....I haven't checked their land speed in human form with ninja run on yet, but I can sure picture how fast they are.

    Also for an extra speed boost for ninja run, turn on sprint or prestige power slide.

    Two to go

    Good to see everyone is closing in on the final badges. Now all we have to do is wait for Going Rogue
    Main villain is just working on some partial progress ones. Funny thing was I was faced with a choice as I checked my files last night: he finishes the one he's working on today early in morning while I'm at work, but then due to work I can't get back in for several hours afterwards to move him. So the choice is: let him finish the one he's at and move him after I get home knowing that several offline hours that can go to another partial badge are wasted, or do I move him now to the next partial one to resume it, then bounce back to wrap this one?

    Feels weird thinking about how to efficiently use a characters log out time.....be glad when all the badges ding.

    As for Going Rogue....I look forward to playing it but not the badges that it will introduce, be they dayjobs or otherwise.

    Basically this is my plan for the event: obtain ski badges on a couple of alts then gather a few thousand candy canes to split among them and obtain some of the goodies.

    No word of any other new ones, not expecting any more as the only thing new is the Lord of Winter. We always get a new badge for logging in, so that was expected.

    Nice artwork on them too.
  12. I should be available to aid you with this. Toon TBA

    Do you think they added in at least 1 more new badge? :/
    The new badges are Festive (should be the name of it) for logging into the event, and Lord/Lady of Winter for slaying the new Lord of Winter.

    As for going live, I'd expect it to be this week unless they have found a major bug.

    Perma-Energize?

    It looks like it might be possible, but I'm not sure if it's worth what it would take to achieve it.

    Has anyone done this? If so... was it worth it?
    I've tinkered with some designs I drafted in Mids Hero Planner and tried on test. Not really worth the bother.

    With the level restrictions to entering RWZ gone, you can park a lowbie toon in RWZ to work the Dayjob. You can fill up the progress meter for it, but until you are 35 you won't get the badge.

    Taking a wild guess, I'd say that the new Praetorian zones will have some once GR comes out.

    Also the possibility that a villain badger can enter Paragon and seek out a dayjob that does not have a redside counterpart and vice versa.

    As I recall, didn't they say Going Rogue gets its own Test Server due to all the changes? 03 could well be the GR test server

    Sounds new, or else Shard Transfer Tokens may be part of Going Rogue.

    Why run a cape mission at all? Booster pack 2 supplies the rather classy "mystic" cape.

    Yes, I know that the proc should be placed in Stamina, but I am working on a Stamina-less build, and want to evaluate various endurance mitigation options.

    Thanks,
    It will only work when the power is running. Hate to say but its kind of a waste to have it in there unless you are going for set bonuses.

    -Pros for Mu Mastery
    - End regeneration in (Power Sink)
    - AoE attack (Ball Lighting)
    - and a panic button in (Power Surge)

    -Pros for Soul Mastery
    - End regeneration in (Dark Consumption)
    -AoE attack (Dark Obliteration)
    -and a power boosting attack in (Soul Drain)

    I am leaning more towards Soul Mastery for Soul Drain, what can I say I like to do damage. But I am open to suggestions just in case I am missing some hidden benefits in Mu or any other patron.
    If you are looking for some protection for it and the ability to slot Defense IO's such as LOTG 7.5% global recharge booster, take Black Scorpion since his armor is Defense, not resistance.

    Healing Badges

    Yes I used the "search" function, but the results didn't help very much

    I am willing to grab the medicine pool on my secondary build if Twilight Grasp isn't the most efficient.

    Any info would be appreciated.

    Thank you.
