For first run, I was on a +3... And that team was just good... like hey guys MoLambda... lets do it ... done!
Did it again over the weekend successfully, almost same makup - though no screenies -

Since Friday:
Hamidon Raid Zone Crashes: 2
BAF and Lambda "Lost Connection to Map Server" kicking out the whole team: Too many to count.
Trials started in RWZ, Midnighter Club, Cim, Pocket D and Studio 55.
Rewards are randomly rolled back - whether it's threads, salvage, inspirations, etc. -
It's just as fun as I expected it to be.
No grind problems: Each character I have plays differently and takes a different approach to the trials, so the feeling of repetition isn't there for me.
Difficulty: I think the BAF 9cu should be looked at with the min - simi min people. MoLambda is brute force, with people being +3/+2 and the powers that come with that, it is still really intense, yet fun and very doable!
New salvage? Cool, just read and look just like you did with the invention system!
Problem: Servers don't seem to be able to handle the system. Zone crashes constantly and trials abruptly ending makes for some very unhappy people -- discouraged too. -
Just a reminder this is a thread for success and failure w/ the thoughts on the matter - not to discuss other crap...
-----
So an update from me for launch week:
I dared to try the LFG queue again, this time on a B.A.F.. 12 or less ppls and we got to Siege and failed due to being overrun by the OVERPOWERED 9cu. We were pretty proactive about trying to pull him, but in the mean time the reinforcements built up out of control. Capped defense and resistance only bought you a -few- seconds before you face-planted.
Besides that no other failures on either of the trials.
I've done countless Lambda and B.A.F. all via preform, all near if not the max people. Most of the time it is via private channels, a mix of friends and random, or just me and a bunch of random folks.
By far the most irritating and annoying thing I've encountered is the trials crashing at any point, or the zone we form in just giving out. So it is like: DC, login, reform -- over and over. If the trial DOES start, it was liable to crash!!!
As far as badges go, I've manged to pick up 2 MoLambda and a BAF.
PS: Always go for 3/4ish of the badges in BAF == mucho astral merits -

We are investigating the issues with the Incarnate Trials, but I want to make sure we are talking about the same thing here.
When you say "crash," are you experiencing a client crash, "lost connection to mapserver," or just being booted out of the Trial?
The majority of the problems according to global chat channels and my experiences are you get in the trial and are going to town and boooom instakick. The whole league will disband etc...
It can happen upon loading, during the first phase or the last phase. -
So Issue 20 is here! People are clamoring to run the new Incarnate trials...
I want to know about your experiences on Virtue, not some other server. I'm sure not everyone has had a chance/gotten around to actually doing some, but as time passes that will change.
Launch Day/Night:
Participated in countless preformed Lambda trials that were continually swift and successful, which allowed me to slot my Destiny power. Only one of the Lambda trials I participated in failed, 7 people, random queue, and a few first time experiences -- had the issue of people not paying attention to their temp powers.
The one BAF I decided to join up on went extremely well surprisingly. We completed phase 3 with only 5? escapes.
Only server/lag annoyances I had was when the server at atleast 2 instances of the RWZ exploded, both of which I happen to be in. There was also the issue of a group of 16 players zoning into lambda and instantly getting kicked (trial crash).
--
It has been no where near as frustrating as I thought it would be and in fact it was a lot of fun.
So how about others

Is there something wrong with the graphic? I can't see it, keeps trying to load, but no dice.
Raid Schedule fixed and updated. Expect some more changes soon! -

Quote:It's a good laugh every time I see it.Silver Mantis - STF
Combat start: "C'mon, Heroes. I'll take you all at once!"
First blood: "Oooh! I'm REALLY going to enjoy killing you."
At 75% Life: "Mmmmm! You hurt me so good!"
At 50% Life: "The pain! The anger! Yes! You really know how to treat a girl!"
At 25% Life: "Oh yes! OH YES! This is a battle!"
Defeated:
"That's it..."
"I'm spent"
"Take the code, you earned it."
After defeating a player: "Done already? I hoped you'd last...longer."
Dr. Aeon never fails to crack me up, and some other people posted some lines already:
smart huh? hahaQuote:Dr. Aeon
I'll use small words to help you. It uses science and magic together, Techno-magic.
(talking about how we cannot stop recluse blah blah) Only later to state:
Ah-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-WAAAit a second!
If he gets every meta-human ability...
Then he'd get my...
I'd be just..
Uh-oh! You've got to stop him! -
Quote:Yeah this is a big problem for people -- mostly meOriginally Posted by SolarSentai
I guess I'm just amazed there can be such a disparity on difficulty depending on team makeup and players. It's hard to know what's "average" these days. Which forces me to be pretty picky on who makes up the majority of a team for a TF, and of course the willingness to switch(me) to what ever will improve team efficiency. This all depends on particular piece of content we are doing as well of course.
-
NU! It is always Zombie's fault, and xaeon doesn't get purples because they don't like the smell. *nod*
I don't blame JD for anything - as it was Avo's fault for xeaon's problems that also entails it always being Zombie's fault... hands down.
And now Arky is confused... -
Quote:Khan, Apex, Tin are very rewarding for time/work invested. All three of which can be done sub 20min. 40+40+30 = 110 merits ...Originally Posted by slainsteel
Khan, our channel really doesn't care about too much. Apex we can do faster, but bleh, we just run it with the characters we wouldn't ever bring to another speed TF - just 'cause you can get away with it on Apex. Tin, again, not too many of us are keen on since you can do an Apex faster and get the same rewards.
Not saying the others are bad or bleh, just don't overlook easy rewards

There are some costume pieces you might see and want... yet can't...
Will not be able to take full advantage of the alignment system/tips.
Most of what you will be missing, since you don't care about the 1-20, happens at 50. Without going rouge you won't be able to participate in the "endgame" Incarnate system. Only the initial slot, Alpha, is available, but with issue 20 there will be 4 more. The content that comes along with the Incarnate system are two lvl 50 Alpha TF/SFs, and with issue 20, the numerous Incarnate Trials.
I'd say you can get by without it just fine, for now. Just depends on what is enjoyable for you in the game. Getting to 50 is only part of the ride for me, it's only just beginning
I would decide before Issue 20 hits... -
Pocket D also has horrible lighting...

It is a buff... I like it...
What I would like to change:

Quote:No - Virtue TFs 2010 is current and someone has been privatizing it periodically >_>Originally Posted by Cien_Fuegos
Virtue tf 2010 is old channel to get in im guesing pm a mod on virtue tf 2011.
Sometimes when new channel gets full or is outdated ( ie year) the mods decided to open the years channel and privitaze the old channel
If you can't get in, then use Virtue TFs -
Should also consider that people don't really feel like fighting rikti? They might do it once or twice, but there is a LOT of invasions going on right now and that gets old -really- fast, especially when you are trying to do other things.
I myself just keep on trucking. Though it is a good time to work on the badges and accolade. -
Barracuda is definitely more a challenge. The story content is also designed better IMO as well.
I did 3 Barracudas today, each of them taking about 1 hour. Definitely need to pay attention to the team build.
And yes <3 massive ambushes. -
Mmm, would also be noteworthy that you don't even need a tank to do it. Do not underestimate the power of buffs and debuffs
Anyways, I think I have about mmm 12ish characters done? 50+1 that is -
I've seen Stoners do fine fighting her and learning to manuver the blue doom...
In terms of traps, I had a fun time playing my fire/traps corr, it's just a matter of timing. We melted her. -
Cool build for what it is.... Also note stealth is giving you extra defense that you won't have in combat.
Kin powers are just crying for help
You could squeeze more out of Scorp Shield
Heh still interesting none the less ... -
Awesome Thanks!
Yeah Endo is nasty, so might shift that a bit. However - Heat Loss
Sleet is also perma, in terms of debuff vs rech -- but will lookies at that as well.
Thanks Again... -
Playing around with a few ideas...
Power of Fire with the awesomeness that is Cold Domination...
