One can only hope, but I'd bet on Customization Round 2: Power Pools before we see GR hit the test server. -
Quote:Correct with a minor addendum: there must be people at all banners or they won't become vulnerable, also when split up among the banners, if done right the whole team can get credit for the banner kills. As to the Greater Aspect, before you rush off to the final banner, check it where it is in relation to the other three. If it is really far away, you may find your self with a very long trip back to where the Aspect will be and may miss it since players descend on the Aspect like a swarm of locust. If need be, forget the banner that is far away as others are likely getting it and just wait for the Aspect.Originally Posted by Mr E-Man
Well, since I wasn't on early, I don't know how bad it was for the rest of you, but the event is fairly easy if you can stick to the plan & get the rest of the people in zone to do the same...
- Each team should split up with 2 people at each banner to kill mobs - this get the blue bar moving pretty fast.
- As soon as the bar is blue, attack the banners - forget the mobs.
- When a banner drops, everyone on that banner should split out to whatever banners are still up.
- After the last banner falls - search & destroy on the greater aspect.
With luck, one Banner event can get you all the badges, if not then expect to need to run through a 2nd or third time. -

Quote:Yep. My one and only main gripe about the Halloween event is the low Jack spawn, and also that Zone Alerts don't say "Eochai has spawned in Talos" or "Halloween Jack has appeared in Talos, GET HIM NOW!!!!!!!!!!"Originally Posted by Leandro
I remember last year I had a team killing Eochai for three hours in a row in Talos until Jack spawned. It was around 30 Eochai defeats without Jack showing his face.
Or something similar at least.

In the spirit of the Empath thread going on, how many here have obtained the IMMORTAL badge with the ish 16 changes, either upon log in after ish 16 launch or sometime after?
6 alts of mine dinged immortal and another is closing in on the badge.
How's about all of you?
Also please note: I don't care how you got all that damage accumulated on your characters, by play or by AFK, so lets not go into the "evils" of AFK farming. -
Quote:Count me in on this as well: Fire-Kin for Blueside, assorted alts for Red.Originally Posted by Luna de Nocturne
As long as you can get around the zone (even with a temp flight pack) that's fine with us. We're not too picky
Edit: More than likely, we'll always have at least one 50 on the team, so you'll probably be ssk'd up to level 49. -
Quote:They will not. Barring a sudden bug that is. Nothing reported on that front.Originally Posted by Mr E-Man
Here is a question:
Do the Deadly Apocalypse Zone Event spawns count toward the ToT kill badges? -

Quote:As I sat watching those games I was thinking "Ok I see Greenbay on the field, where are the Lions? I see the Patriots......but who are those high school football players disguised as the Titans?"Originally Posted by Kamina
holy crap...two teams got shut out today...day'um o_o
Patriots - 59
Titans - 0
just...wow...really?
Packers - 26
Lions - 0
oy...
Green Bay was clearly out to the teach the Lions how to play football as everything the Lions did wrong, Green Bay would do right: example: Lions do a weak screen play and GB gets the ball then GB does their own screen play which works.....also Green Bay was bound and determined to make sure the Lions were humiliated via a shut out. Go Green Bay! -

In the interest of testing out the event it would be very helpful to know exactly what was changed.

Quote:Racking up the various kill badges can still take some time depending on your character and the badge in question. My stone tank solo'd the Praetorian Arc via Ouro and came away with all but Antimatter after about 4 hours. Next day I started the Antimatter arc, that took 2 hours to obtain the 13th and final Praetorian kill for Dimensional Warder.Originally Posted by Chad Gulzow-Man
I know how you feel, Net. I did a Katie Hannon TF this weekend, and felt a little pang of sadness when it popped up "Badge Earned!" I do kinda miss the days when I could just decide to go out and spend a few hours earning a badge, instead of staying logged out or farming.
Plus Zookeeper is still 1000 rikti monkies, Skulls are 500, etc.
The badge reductions aren't bad, imo, and the EPICS had to come down.
As for things to do, I might start setting up a twice a week DR Q. TF. A bit lengthy but that translates to nice influence payout and of course over 100 merits..... or else a twice weekly LGTF since that can be Co-op. -
Also by putting the account on hold that can also stop the Vet clock. The Vet clock goes by active subscription time, shut the account down and return and the clock resumes where it was.

It was fun. Looking forward to the next.

YES! YESYESYESYEEEEEEEEEEEESSS!
THANK YOU!
My favourite map and the finale of my AE arc, and a fix that I THOUGHT had gone through a while back
You sneaky watsits.
Unless it did work when we pulped Reich's. Either way is good ^^ hehe!

Quote:Well what burned a few people was that they announced they couldn't/wouldn't fix it during the event last year. I was on the first halloween test this year, missed the second one, but ToT testing showed Spirits were spawning at a better rate.Originally Posted by Luna de Nocturne
Ugh, I forgot about the Spirit spawn rate from last year. That was annoying. Took me the full two weeks to get it on Luna.

Quote:Doors are still zone/level based. SSK should be in effect. Sharkhead and Bricks are best for Eochai/Jack unless you want to try Warburg.Originally Posted by Mr E-Man
Luna is SSK in place for this? Are the doors based on zone/level range as in the past? Meaning anyone above level 10 could not click a door in Galaxy City & would a level 50 want to be EX'd down that far for this?
Heroside, the best zone for Eochai/Jack killing is Brickstown - small zone with an easy circuit. I think Sharkshead is best villainside.
Not sure how the new stuff works...
The new stuff is a timed event like the Zombie Invasions, it is called the Deadly Apocalypse. When it's announced, set your map to display SPECIAL locations only and then look for the 4 spots that appear on it. Team heads to one of them, we have to take down monsters until the Banners fully materialize. Take down a Banner; get a badge. Take down another Banner; get a different badge. All 4 Banners go down within the time limit and the "Mystic Aspect" spawns, which takes the form of a random giant monster. Kill it for another badge, plus a reward menu appears. All 4 banner badges plus mystic aspect badge = new accolade badge.
Trick or Treat is the same, albeit the Spirit spawn rate should be fixed from last year, Eochai and Jack are still around and the Zombie Invasions occur. -
Quote:The event will be the same as always PLUS the new Deadly Apocalypse event with the banners that must be destroyed and the "mystic aspect" that will spawn from their destruction. So yes, Eochai and Jack should be back, though I HOPE that Jack's spawn rate is improved.Originally Posted by Luna de Nocturne
Greetings everyone!
After yesterdays email about the upcoming Halloween event, I've decided to run a couple of nights next week to let us all get together and enjoy the special events!
The plan:
Tuesday October 20th 8pm-midnight Eastern : Hero Side
Thursday October 22nd 8pm-midnight Eastern : Villain Side
I figure we can get some teams going at 8pm each night, and then as people want to come and go they can. This will also let us switch out toons for anyone who wants badges on multiple toons. I've already got some interest from friends off Facebook, so I figure we can easily get 2-3 teams going.
For Hero Side lets start out in Galaxy (low crowds) in front of BaB's. On Villain Side (Thursday) lets start in Port Oakes near the black market.
Now I know they have a new event this year, so I'm sure most people want to try that out. Plus there will be zombie invasions. Do we know yet if Jack and Pumpkin head are still around as well? Plus we can trick or treat if we get really bored (but clean up your messes!).
Sound like fun? We can use the combined teams to help with the major zone events. The Freedom TF Chat channel will be good to use to call out for teams if you show up later in the night. -
Quote:Every badge for every character? No, that I would have to take a pass on.Originally Posted by Master-Blade
I completely agree with you. My point was exactly that. Making a second badge character wasn't as hard as I thought it'd be, and not nearly as fulfilling as my first one... so I don't know if I would bother doing it again.. but who knows. On the other hand, because they are so much easier now, maybe the challenge is trying to get them on ALL your characters.. now THAT could take a while! lol

When they can work out how to fit Lusca into a blue cave tunnel, I'm sure they'll add them
Well I suspect that GM's would only be available for certain outdoor maps. Still it would be nice to have the ability to have:
Ghost of Scrapyard
Deathsurge
Arachnos Flyer
Caleb
Kraken
Jurassik
Babbage (though I think i saw him available already)
Paladin
Adamaster (already avail as I recall)
Eochai
Jack
Kronos Titan
All available to insert into a story arc. It would be even better if they made an exception to the badge rules for AE and allowed GM badges to be awarded for defeating them, but I doubt they would go that far, but that's ok.
Ghost Ship and Lusca could be left out given that Ghost Ship is actually rather harmless despite its vast size and Lusca given its size also. -
Quote:Part of your fast progress is indeed in part due to recent long awaited changes in some badge criteria, however for things like the Ouro badges that can be done faster now since you have prior experience with the Ouro system and how its challenge settings can affect you plus market knowledge and experience can aid you in getting the market badges quicker.Originally Posted by Master-Blade
I agree with the idea to make another badge toon. Having 653 as a 39 month Vet, pretty much only missing dayjobs, I just finally decided to make another badge toon myself, but there is still a problem...
On the new badge toon:
It took less than a day to get all the Exploration/History Badges.
It took less than a week to get all the Ouro and Invention Badges. Simply craft and sell/bid inbetween arcs. The cost was minimal. I actually ended up richer by the time I was done.
It only took a couple days to get all the PvP badges, including the Blue Ink Man and other badges you get only from PvP zones as well as the 400 rep badge. I'm only missing a few more Pillboxes in RV. I have the AVs already as well.
After only 2 nights of Heal-farming while I'm asleep and at work, I'm already at almost 7 Million. I should easily have Empath by this time tomorrow. It really puts to shame the work I spent getting Empath on my original badge hunter. (1 Billion FTL. lol)
All I've got left after less than a month of even trying are the Events that are coming up, a few random defeat badges which shouldn't take long, Damage farming, and then finish off Leader as well.. which is only a handful of TFs away for that toon... (which is actually closer than my main badge hunter is to Leader, lol).
So then what after that? Do I make a Third one? I dunno. I guess I'll see when I get there. I'll be making another post in the "600" thread for my next toon shortly I'm sure. She's at 561 currently. lol -
Quote:Not so loud! They may raise the badge criteria! Seriously though gratz, my prime badge toon is wrapping up the dayjobs in about 2 months barring complications.Originally Posted by NetMinder
Badgers remorse.
I did it.
I went out and ground through the last 75M to Leader. On both sides.
And thats it.
Just Power Liberator (which you cant get now) and Day Jobs (badging without playing) for my hero. At least my villian has 2 Mo's left to get (MoITF and MoBSF).
*sigh*
What do you do when you get brass ring? I know the new halloween badges are coming, but still... there's nothing left now.
I rz =( now
net
As to what to do when you get em all, that's easy you two options:
1. Relax, you made it!
2. Start another badge hunter. -
Quote:Ah sweet. The only thing that would be better is if we had access to any and all of teh Giant Monsters to put into missionsOriginally Posted by Niviene

Quote:Silly question Golden: Have you perhaps PM'd this idea to Synapse since he seems to be the one in charge of badges these days to see if it could be renamed on the basis that you have provided?Originally Posted by Golden Girl
I'm objecting to it from a moral point of view, not a religous one.
Also, from your name, you seem to be a guy, so it might not be quite the same for you.
And the game would be just as much fun without the "Malleus" badge in it.
