Why are you taking pictures while driving? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU??
If you think I'm irritable, you should see my bowels.

And we should care because...?
Maybe you should be more like Shamster 
For the BSF, I know I will have either def or MM ready to go.
I reserve my spreadsheets for Incarnate breakdown/graphics and badges. For teaming, I couldn't care less who gets left out

Using Spirituals, sorry. So heal enhancments and the 2/3rds past ED magic. Just saying it's nice, but not game changing; the level shift itself kind of makes things silly.

Quote:I see you focused on the #x factor; your post is a bit misrepresentative of the details. You don't have to rely on getting a team together for the majority of them. You can do these on your own time, in your own way. You also don't have to complete a needed action to "trigger" the counter. Nor have to re-do the needed action to once again get credit (as with the new weekly target).Originally Posted by Snow Globe
Current badges (and don't even get me started how some of these were before):
Damage badge series: 100k, 500k, 1 million, 10 million, 25 million, 50 million, and 100 million. This translates to 5x, 2x, 10x, 2.5x, 2x, and 2x jumps.
etc
You don't get damage/debt/inf/healing credit in terms of 1 point for each action, like these new badges. (and again, the only real point of contention is the 50). I'm not a math wizard, so maybe breaking down the smallest dominators brings this closer inline...........
Held/crafting/defeat/Ozone badges: Can be done at literally anytime without relying on others. There are various options that one can choose to actually help acquire some of these even easier.
Mentoring: Can be done with any kind of teaming. Not specific to any particular type of teaming (missions, TFs, trials, etc). Also doesn't require a "successful" completion of any kind.
Other badges are one-and-done, including TFs that require teams. Even Master Of badges are one-and-done for the particular actions, yet they can take several attempts to complete successfully.
Besides the obviousness of this........Quote:Do two of the same WSTs per week on that one character and you'll have the badge before a year is over. 
The way I read it, this alone should be a red flag that the 50 count is too much.
(Unfortunately I was redirected to this thrilling thread )

Gah. I missed it, Chuckers. Trying to cram too much stuff in limited time.

So with the patch, there didn't seem to be any ruckus about rares being slotted. So let's assume that's fixed. I held off on creating one until late last night and didn't get a chance to run around with my level shift pimpage though I did team with 1 or 2 who had it going on. The STF was pretty damn easy, and we weren't hand picked ATs/powers; now with 8 people level shifted, both the STF and LRSF are going to be, I believe, fairly noticeably easier. I won't know how level shift works in my favor until sometime tomorrow for my Scrapper, but unless it's some uber nuke or +4 AV anyway, he's not exactly easy to kill. The rare boost gave me a whopping 2 - 3 HP/sec on basic regen and maybe 20 HP to the heal :rollseyes:
Level shifted pets, however, look damn enticing to me and I just wish I could actually play other things to get them their lewt

I guess some people had a hard time finding this?

I'll be sticking with their list for Tuesdays (and with possible Wednesdays/Fridays
) like I said. Not sure how I feel about doing sub-50 TFs, but whatever. I'm stuck in badge mode.
Also, for the shorter TFs, I'll probably try to squeeze in another run right after. I plan on burning out my interest in this game like the Devs intend! -

Quote:No, it doesn't .... again, IMO. People got the original epic badges their own way, with a lot of farming. It was their time spent, in their way. It did not require a chunk of people on a regular basis (yes, it helped, but wasn't necessary).Originally Posted by Lothic
Yeah they were mostly "snipped down" from "impossible to do naturally in 10+ years" to "reaonably possible to do within several months". This makes the current versions of badges like Leader and Empath just about in line with this new 50 TF badge.
Nothing invalidated anything of the sort. Getting 2 TFs a night is a pretty tall order for a lot of people. And again, I was speaking of *myself* and *my* time. And since my original 2 cents were *strictly* for the 50 badge count, this drivel about the 2 badge (and even less so the 10 badge) has no bearing whatsoever.Quote:The fact that those points pretty much invalidated your arguement against these badges make them fairly germaine to this discussion.
How kind of you. They could have done the progression like 20, 100, and 200. That'd be more inline with the "epic" badges, right? Throw in whatever other arbitrary number you like.Quote:I'd almost grant you a little leeway on this point. Still they could have just as easily made the badge progression something like 10, 25 and 50 as well.
Doh! There's that blatant make believe again.Quote:I'm sorry you feel that level of effort is (in your opinion) too much to ask for but unless you can prove that'll take most people YEARS
Obviously I'm done with dealing with you.

Thank you for your patience with this matter! -
Quote:And most of those were snipped down heavily.....Originally Posted by Lothic
I understand your point about having to "focus exclusively" on one character to get the 50 count badge within a few months. But ultimately we are just talking about that one single top badge. I consider it a new version of an "epic" badge like Empath or Leader and frankly I don't have any problem with having epic level badges that take several months to achieve. *shrugs*
That's nice and all...but has no bearing.Quote:By making these new badges set at 1, 10 and 50 TFs respectively you can reasonably get the first one in one day (I know many people who did this already) and you'll be able to get the second one within a few weeks even at a relatively slow pace.
Yep. That one requirement. 5 times the effort of the previous requirement. How is it unresonable to think that leap is a bit much?Quote:It's only ONE badge we're talking about that might take some people a long number of months to achieve with some "above and beyond" effort.
Yes, because I don't have 99% of the rest of the badges. Mostly worked on by myself over the course of my time here. The few I'm missing are due to having to literally rely on other people in the time frame I have available to play. This new one trumps that relying on others by leaps and bounds. No one is complaining about "effort", and I'm not even hinting at any kind of ASAPness. It's the *amount* that's in question. I figured they would have kept the set resonable in the scope of 2, 5 and 10. But as usual, they went overboard IMO.Quote:As with anything else in this game there's a certain amount of effort required to achieve it. If sprinting to get a 50 count TF badge is too much for you then either don't try for it at all or don't worry about getting it ASAP. For those of us who actually like goals to work towards I see nothing wrong with this.
But thanks for trying to assume anything about my personality. -
2 cents: If they keep that 50 count, I'd prefer if these were account-wide badges.
Due to available play time, I'll have to focus exclusively on my badger to achieve these badges, and I'm still talking months for this one set. Other characters who will like to get going on the new incarnate stuff won't be played much at all. Just feels restrictive IMO.

Able to make Friday?
Yes, it's not clear and concise. I'm winging it this week!

hi everyone, we are aware that some users are experiencing issues losing connection to the mapserver and/or losing their rewards after completing the strike target when a team member has a rare alpha boost, or when crafting the rare on the mission map. We are currently investigating the issue, and we will keep you updated. For the time being, it is recommended that you unslot any rares, and do not attempt to craft or slot a rare while running the strike target.
Thank you all for your paience while we endeavour to resolve this issue. -
Totally would have taken that Stalker......... >.>
That was the most un-optimized team for that. Thank god for shivans Brute/Tankless LRSF FTW! Thanks for the team.
This weekly target stuff is going to mess me up a bit. On one hand, my badger wants those inane badges for multiple weekly runs. On the other, I got a few characters I want to get slotted up
Will be sticking with the announced Weekly target for the time being, and if I'm able to, will include the same TF for the following Friday night at 930PM EST for those interested (in this case, it will be an STF as I prefer that one more). Some TFs I just can't stomach doing multiple times in the same week, and not sure how I'll feel about doing sub-50 TFs in this manner.
