Yep, sometimes just flying around the zones doing some fun exploration is a blast. Nice break from all the missions and TF's some times.

The slopes are fine. My main badgers have all the ski badges and gained them with ease.

Day jobs: eh 21 days is a bit much but that is a dead horse.

Map badges: meh I found the bulk of the new ones in beta same as many others.

New Mo badge: yuck.

I would rather face an army of Kronos Titans with my squishiest character stripped of all enhancers and under full debuff then seek a new Mo badge.

This.

Some jokes are fine, some minor wise cracks are fine....but it when it turns into bashing the other player especially if it was out of their control, ie: standing away from a cyst in mish 2 of the ITF so as not to be caught in the explosion only to have the ambush SPAWN ON TOP OF YOU.......well one can't really blame that person for dying.....but some primadonnas still have tried.

Very nice.

I suspect that is the icon for the vet power that reveals the entire map, if you are referring to tray #4.

If it is the one in tray 1......dunno.

Yep, and a few other words spring to mind....

I would rather try to solo a Hami raid then seek a new Mo badge.

Apparently it was a stealth inclusion with ish 17.

Oh I didn't say you were out to prove anything, simply that your end results prove it is doable.

Also did missions 1 or 3 end up as "failures"?

Also I'll clarify from my previous post as I have seen your completion time: how much of that time was put into the Hami mission? Any guesstimate?

Yes, having a lot of holds would be nice, but this currently stipulates that unless the team has a certain "formula" to it (ie: massive Holds), that a flawless victory will be.....problematic.

BTW: here's some positive board rep for you for the win and the information

This. Even with EoE's right now I wouldn't want to try this. Beefcake proves that it can currently be done, but I wonder how long it took them in mission 4?

That's one phrase that comes to mind.

Yes, but there comes a point when one must start reevaluating things like:

Risk vs. Reward

Is the reward worth the possible multiple attempts needed due to factors including but not limited to:

1. Lag Spikes causing characters to get killed

2. Lag so bad that some or all of the team disconnects, hence the mission resets and you have to start it over. That would kind of STINK if that happened on mission 4 of the LGTF..... or if some of the team remains and they get wiped due to being massively outnumbered. (Picture half the team being lagged out as we pulled the AV's in MoSTF and GW coming...as we retreat the lag hits, half the team is gone and the other half was smeared by GW and Scirocco)

3. Players that do not take the attempt seriously at all. An immature tanker was on an ITF I was on yesterday, yelling at us at to "shut the "bleep" up" and then quit during the final Romulus fight.

4. Players that start off fine then turn into immature irrational babies and start screwing around thus angering the team and prompting the star holder to boot them from the team. A blaster on a MoSTF run started behaving this way, kept wanting to stand where the Arachnos Flyer was searching and thus prompting it to blast them. They were booted just in time.

5. Players that would rather not listen to strategy and charge blindly in. Lost track of all the times this happened.

6. Players that would rather stroke their own ego during the run and point out so called flaws with others on the team rather then pulling their own weight. Lost track of all the times this happened.

7. Players that would rather spend time whining about stupid things like someone's costumes or power customizations? Or blaming them for being in the spot where an ambush suddenly spawns despite the fact that ambush spawn spots tend to be random? Lost track of all the times this happened.

So, frankly at this time, with 21 triple Master winners in my stable, I just don't consider the reward to be worth the headache. Will they all go for quadruple winner status? Not likely.

Will my main red and blue badgers emerge for this? Maybe. But I'm not rushing to form a team, especially with all the mixed reports about the greens.

I would rather have a root canal with a Black and Decker power drill then seek this badge.

Gratz on the win...


...... and curse you for revealing this badge does exist!

Thank you for this, Castle.

MY bot/FF was able to do it but yes all those bubbles.....ugh. Purples+Demonic aura+an anti knockback IO for all the repulsion bombs/forcebolts.

I hear that. I've been using the new and improved email system to consolidate funds, and transfer certain recipes and salvage items to toons that are being IO'd.

If only we could attach multiple of the same item to an email....

Try being a solo bot/ff MM against 8 fully operational clones. The bulk of them had their dispersion bubbles up, all bots armed and were pelting me with Force Bolt and Repulsion bombs. Fun fight.

Try recording it if possible in case anything special does happen

Presuming the capped zone doesn't implode and crash everyone out of it for about 5 minutes

Seriously though its not a bad idea, just don't see it happening with a capped zone. If some teams can clear the area around the grates for a solo player to hop into it and set the bomb then another solo player for another grate and so on.

Hm, an interesting theory; but where would one begin to search once the shields drop? I would think that if there was an area tied to the shield drop that it would be in the ship area.
