Snow Globe

3 bunkers: Lepton, Boson, Fermion

The first time I did the Positron TF was in Issue 4. There wasn't an autoexemp feature, anyone over level 15 that crashed or dc'd were removed from the TF, there weren't any shortcuts like base teleporters, and no veteran rewards. That first time took NINE HOURS to complete with a team of eight players.

I don't know the answer to your second question. As to your first is that there is only two ways to avoid having the the pulse take 50% of your max health:

• Be dead.
• Be a MM with your pets in bodyguard mode.

Those are the only 2 ways to avoid even part of the damage. For the additional damage (the extra damage you take because the league has damaged Anti-Matter), part of that is affected by your damage resistance.

Yesterday I was the target of the disintegration beam and I couldn't see the effect on myself. On the other hand, at least I know enough not to run away from the healers.

Costume change emotes are no longer accessible due to someone putting a } on line 716 of the quickchat menu instead of the end of the file.

I won't say how I know that is the exact line the error happened.

Additionally, none of the Astral/Empyrean Merit costume change emotes (Fireworks, Ice Block, Nuke, Pure Energy, Stone Block) are present either.

Actually I can sort of comment to that: On my MM, I crashed beginning to fight Siege in the BAF. I managed to come back with both Siege and Nightstar at 85% health and didn't get the 10 thread table. Now I can't say if this was due to the new participation metric or the league being good though.

They could make a small book with the amount of bug reports I've made in the last 6 years.

Yeah, I got hit with that as well.

Lambda is better than BAF with some teams, with other teams it can be much worse.

Both BAF and Lambda are better than Keyes. As in either are more fun than Keyes. How much better? I'm talking about the difference between the new Positron TFs and the original Positron TF. I've run the newer Positron TFs 3x-4x the amount I ran the original. Why? That is easy to answer: I found the revamps more enjoyable.

The reason I'm responding is that I don't want false rumors to start. That is all you are doing here: starting some wild speculation that we've already been told isn't happening.

So continuing to speculate that the group buffs or the change in the participation metric is earning you a higher reward is a complete waste of everyone's time.

Z, ever since Issue 20 launched, the game has been repeatedly running out of memory. There have been a lot of threads in the technical issues and bugs section about them. I can, without fail, cause a game crash on my system after around 3 hours of play just by using a single specific power *.

* I'll gather my system information and PM you with the details.

Authbit VanguardPack

Example:
LockedOption
{
DisplayName "&1 Costume Slot 1"
Command "cc_e 0 CCVanguardSigil"
Badge Vanguard_Sigil_CC
Authbit VanguardPack
}

See my previous post.

New Locked Option-Options:

LockedOption
{
DisplayName "Ghoul Flex"
Command "e ghoulflex"
RewardToken EmoteGhoulFlex
}

Options for RewardToken currently include:

EmoteGhoulFlex
EmoteTantrum
EmoteCollapse
EmoteSwoon
EmoteUltimatePower
EmoteCatchBreath

Given that I can't seem to find/make a steady team and have no choice but to do these trials in a PUG situation, I'm figuring that I will never get 2 (possibly 3) of the Keyes badges, which means I'll never get the Master of Keyes either.

I know of no PUG willing to deal with the amount of deaths getting AM under 90% health for most of the trial will cause.

It will be next to impossible have a PUG avoid the beam, and I don't think the chances of the zero defeats/no terminals will happen.

Heck, I'm having a hard time finding a group willing to do the revised Lambda badges at this point.

If the healers can see the person getting disintegrated. As a healer, I simply cannot see the disintegration aura. I've repeatedly asked that the player be highlighted in the league/team window so that they can be targeted by healers.

Again, if you can see it. With the graphics settings I have to use to participate in the trials, the beam is next to impossible to see to avoid.

Again, the entanglement auras are practically invisible. At one point in pre-beta they were far more visible. They were as visible as the shields in the Terra Volta Reactor, now they are less than 1/4 of the visibility they were at.

Black Scorpion, but it would probably be easier to go through Zwillinger.

The problem is that you are assuming (remember what that makes people?) that the group buffs means that you will get a higher level reward. The only difference it will make is that you shouldn't be seeing the 10 thread reward table unless you door sit for the entire trial. Given other things we know about the participation metrics, I wouldn't even bet on that.

That you think that you will get a higher reward (very rare, rare) instead of a lower reward (uncommon or common) because of the participation metric is absurd.

Heh, just before the Steampunk Pack went live, I took this picture of Avatea in Pocket D.



One can probably safely assume that +8 is at least theoretically possible outside of the incarnate trials eventually.

* During an open beta for issue 20.5

Seeing that section might be leaving soon:

Here is a visual aid

On some graphics settings you don't even get that.

/chanjoin "triumph watch 2.0"

Ask there and you'll likely get told when the next trial starts & where.

Math failure:

2480 x Threads = 248 million Inf for the thread portion alone (provided you do the 10:10 + 1 million inf conversion over 248 days). Add another 150 million Inf for the needed 6 Uncommon -> Rare conversions. Add another 100 milllion Inf for the Rare -> Very Rare conversion.

498 Million Inf for the total price tag of crafting a Very Rare incarnate power (not including opening the slot).

Due to bandwidth concerns, I've moved all my buttons, but have made the following single image for people to download and edit.


Additionally, Leandro was kind enough to find an alternate home that will allow people to have the images for their use without nuking my bandwidth.
