Lesser banes who die do not deserve top shelf rewards. You were no better than Shamster!
Got 6 shards in the LGTF....and then 8 in the treespec. And that one was all of 30 min of blazing through everything on the maps. So random.
Thinking of Faathim next week. Haven't done it in awhile; would bring a troller or MM. Would there be interest in a non-component TF that would probably take 2 hours though? -

Clockwork are our friends. More chance for shards. More chance for purples. More set up time. More organization. Less annoying. Etc etc etc.

Any interest in Round 2: Revenge of the Cheated?
Thinking same time this coming Friday (21st). Slightly different approach (Hacker will not be on the table), but bring the same toys. The more debuff we have, the higher the chances of success, and flying is still encouraged. -
Quote:Not really even considering it as real monies. Gotta pay to play, and that's just a bonus on top of it.I assume Voo is referring to the fact that the Devs are giving something you can earn in game in exchange for real monies (subscription fee).
He's pontificated about earning/spending Van merits before on various / all of his characters and even more so with these merits being used on shards now. I just imagined he'd be throwing a fit over this.
But I jinxed it by mentioning it -

Quote:Defeating Neuron before Bobcat reaches 50% health and then defeating Bobcat awards the Kitty's Got Claws Badge.Good run all around and sorry we just missed it. I have to check, but I think I still one more badge, something about Bobcat being defeated while Neuron is up.
Was pretty sure the people who didn't have this got it; that's why we bothered toying with Neuron so long for the army badge for others too. As long as you take out Neuron before Kitty, you should always get this badge.
The MM thing maybe counted against us? I don't know. I'll search around, but I can't imagine. That basically negates an entire, and generally most awesome, AT. This is different than stalkers not being welcome for common sense reasons
Anyway, I wanted to try a slightly different approach from what others were doing, and with a highly unoptimized set up for it. The TF as a whole was cake, just this one particular badge didn't work out. I'll just cheese it more next time with some modifications. Not seeing any info about MM pets ruining the badge for others. -
First, I know I'm new here
......but I'm aware of what's available to be used. This particular method I wanted to try, in a perfect world, would have 100% of everyone phased from mines and let the pets do all the work (killing, triggering, etc). Timing is key and wanted to see if a not-so-perfect set up could accomplish it. That's why I post for TFs and broadcast and don't rely on only a handful of people.
It seemed viable; once they were aggro'd, the AV's HP dropped to about 30% like nothing. His posse running around deterred the pets some but without everyone being phased, the chances of mine triggering just cascaded. There are one or two sections that appeared to be completely void of any mines while flying. Relying on Defense is subject to the RNG gods as always and you just have to kill "fast enough". I think more HVACS would have done better being more hardy overall.
2nd attempt, we recalled outside after the glowies and buffed up with pets (but not as many as the first attempt)......not sure what happened though. He did run but I don't think anyone chased him out of the area. When he decided to come back, he dropped pretty quick. I don't recall seeing any mine messages for myself and no one seemed to have been hit at all. We probably didn't drop him "fast enough" even though he really didn't last long; our only debuff was Shamster's traps and they aren't anything to write home aboutThe Cold I was promised was, as usual, a let down.
Our only death on the 2nd run was about 30 seconds from the end where SOMEONE just gave up the ghost like he just didn't care anymore.
Never gotten a "master of" on the first attempt that I was actually trying for before, so I don't see any reason to start
I did like the recalling out more than the "rush in and let pets run willy nilly". Just needed more debuff like I originally listed; tank, brute, FF troller, scrapper, emp, FF defender, blaster, and Shamster. -

The badge isn't individual AFAIK; if anyone on the team gets tickled by a bomb blast, no one gets the badge. So it really doesn't matter what you are.
I'll hold a spot for you just in case. But you must be alpha slotted. Having a shivan is more than encouraged, as well as the other things I pointed out for this particular approach. -
That's the other approach, but the "no mines in sight" was a fluke of some kind depending on when you did this IMO.
And since the glowie badge is required as well, leaving 1 person out really cuts down on the success. But this is the "cheese" method I want to try for the hell of it. -
Hrm, yeah didn't specify that a slotted Alpha is also required.
Still some spots open. The ones highlighted are "would like to have" and not meant to be restrictive. -
Quote:Heh, usually see it in tanks, though not as often as you used to back in the day.
The classic still remains; "You can't kick me, you can't beat the end AV without me."Quote:Tank's buddy: Why'd you kick the tank?
SH: Because he was a ****
Tank's buddy: That was my son!
SH: Well you raised a ****
Tank's buddy: /ragequit
And yet I'm the "***** of the server" ?? -
I'll always back you up! I can't quit you.

I had to team with Mental because I was bored. I blame you.

Would like to get this "Master Of" out of the way. It has 4 requirements, 1 being more challenging than most others IMO.
Hacker
Midnight Dodger What Dodges at Midnight
Kitty's Got Claws
Army of Neu
The last 2 are easy and don't require anything special. Hacker requires the team to be organized (one person can easily ruin this for everyone if they do not listen). Dodger requires finesse, high defense, cheese or some combination thereof.
For this, I would like to do high defense and cheese.
* Shivans are required. Any other damage pet is helpful if it is available to you. The more pets, the easier time we'll have.
* Warburg Bio nuke is highly encouraged. Again, the more we have, the easier the time.
* Phase power is highly encouraged. Ethreal Shift is fairly cheap. The more AoE defense we have, the less need for this. I'll be using one just so I know I didn't get tripmine'd, ruining the badge for everyone else.
* Flight is nice to have for this approach. Temp flight packs are cheap.
Strategy should be obvious, but will go over it before starting.
1 Me - Scrapper badger
2 Penny - Emp (99.999999% sure)
3 Mental - Cold
4 Cold/FF/Veat
5 Buff/Damage/Veat
6 Debuff/Damage (Holding spot for Hew's brute)
7 Shamster - Traps MM
8 Kobolt - Brute
Sounds like fun, right? RIGHT?!?!?
Interest?
Alts are welcome in case someone doesn't show.
If all goes as planned, the AV will melt in roughly 19.3 seconds. -
I hope you're happy, Mental!!!!
Not getting Numina out of the way in the last mission right off the bat does not bode well for a good time.
I mean.......FLAWLESS VICTORY! -

1 thing learned in this thread:
Ironik spends a lot of time looking at dudes
Not that there is anything wrong with that.....
