  1. Very Nice. We need more red side raids.

    AV/Hero levels were locked on STF and RSF. It didn't matter whether you ran it on heroic or invincible.

    It wasn't.

    It isn't new. I had such missions in i12.

    Hess TF is being fixed, and the issue with Amy in the KH TF has been logged as a bug.
    Map in last mission of Numina was changed either in i14 or i15 (while i like new map much better than old, no patch notes were issued regarding that change)

    Well, I sent bug report, not petition, so GM shouldn't have show up in my case. As HPT concerned, I needed to kill 25 more Marcone Family bosses to meet HPT requirements. I did just that, was rewarded HPT: Badge + power and immediately after that got Demonic badge + power.

    And there's still no information about this nebulous "meaner mobs" thing.

    I did in fact see your post the first time, but there's still several unanswered questions.
    In fact, I "bothered" to check what map we were on, and not through /whereami but through /demorecord.

    Without knowing what map was used pre i16, that information is irrelevant, but here we go:

    Map MAPS/MISSIONS/UNIQUE/STRIGAISLE/COUNCIL_RADARROOM2.TXT

    I heard that MoBSF is bugged: not rewarding the badge, while STF and RSF are good to run now
  9. I filed bug report when I had problem with it

Or is this like Little League now and everyone gets a badge for participating? For the record i don't care about badges, it still must suck for those who do and have went to great lengths to get them.

    3) Bypass of the cutscreens or give us merits for watching it. A couple hundred times and i think i have it.

    4) When the leader isn't in the same zone, the mission scales to the first person in the mission settings.

    5) Why is this Cho guy so darn smexy? Why does he never call the next day ;.;?
    My favorite is #3

Did a run the other day with a quality team and frankly Ive had tougher runs of positron. LR was dead within 10 seconds of spawning his first EB, GW and the rest of the cronies took less than 5 min to take down (thats all not each). Its a 5 lvl drop for each AV in the arc - its gotta be heaps easier. So make hay while the sun shines and run a pug I say - your chances should be better than average.
    I think it is a bug, and probably will be fixed this week. So you better hurry up to get your MO badges

    Ow, thank you, negrepper, for making it sigworthy to me

    P.S. I apologize for quoting myself

    I'm still completely unclear on what the issues with the Hess TF are because instead of describing the problem in detail, you chose to make every other sentence an attack on the devs.
    Why instead of attacking OP you wouldn't try Hess yourself?
  15. Does anyone know what is going to happen if any of Patrons are killed by 5th column?

    It happend to me to rescue and escort Black Scorpion on last mission. While leading him to reich's room, Black Scorpion had stuck on some 5th column group and started to take beating from them. He lost about 20-25% of HP, when I had to intervene and kill that group to let him out. I just didn't want to take chances not knowing what will happen if he got killed.

    Anyone had experienced anything similar?

  17. I had the same problem with Demonic as well, until I got High Pain Threshold. Upon receiving it, I also got Demonic...

You can still rush in and blitz the computer (in the first mission, where you can FIND it).
    Heh, yes... It may add 5, maximum 10 seconds to the mission: time to find computer and that's it...
  19. Another low level EB on blue side, besides FrostFire, is Atta.
    BNY mission also contains Snaptooth EB, doesn't matter what level you are or what your diff settings
  20. I know that some people are keeping 3rd mission of Dark Watcher's arc "Investigate Nemesis Base" AKA "Platform"
  21. If mission contains EB, it will be there even if you solo and on heroic. It was always like that.
  22. "Liberate Television" +1/8/0/0:

    17 recipes - 15 commons, 0 uncommons, 2 rares
    56 salvages
    7 SOs


    I haven't try +2 and +3. While, I think, I will be able to handle it, it might become spawn micromanagement nightmare for my bane. Even at +0, I have to be careful to kill "Colonels" after majority of minions are down, and that greatly slows down the run.

    Ran it second time, same settings:
    29 recipes - 21 generics, 7 uncommon, 1 purple (unbrk r/a), no costumes, no rares
    76+ salvages
    8 SOs

    Looks pretty consistent (if we can talk about consistency based only on 2 runs). I don't have 8 ppl stats for the same map pre i16. I ran it solo back then, on diff 4. I've been getting 13-15 recipe drops per run on average.
