Snow Globe

I'm absolutely positive. I always use the crate/room in the east as a reference point. I've went directly from the starting point to the south west room (the room with the 2 glowies on the marked green path), skipping everything while the other people in the group went north. There was only the one weapons cache in the middle of the room. Most of the time I've seen two weapons caches in the large south east room, but I have also seen it in the large north east room.

I did see it in the large south west room twice during open beta, but only twice.

It isn't "just" you:

Lambda/BAF Reward Tables
Incarnate rewards based on participation?
List of an Annoyed Mastermind

I'm sure there are others that I have missed. There are also several Issue 20 open beta feedback threads on the subject and the developers have yet to comment on any of them to my knowledge.

A couple players were told during testing that the tables are random, not participation based. However there is mounting evidence to the contrary.

Statistically speaking, the number of posts on this issue is rising with no end in sight.

And on the exact same trial I got an uncommon. I was buffing you, spaming heals to everyone as much as I could, having my Illusion pets out as much as possible, and was on the same team as you.

The developers need to explain exactly how the reward tables are working. I'm tired of being treated like I'm "not doing enough" by the game.

Edit:
And if it is tied to how much my powers affects the AV, when the AV is pretty much immune to controls, I'll be extremely ticked.

Actually, at this point the developers need to explain exactly what is happening with the reward tables. If that means spilling the beans on the participation criteria (if there is any attached to the tables), then they need to do so now before they start losing customers that feel disregarded when it comes to the reward tables.

If they don't come clear about the tables, speculation and wild accusations will continue to build to such a state that people won't want to participate in the trials with people they don't know.

I take the view of 2-50 players focused on a single task is "one team". This includes Missions, TFs, Trials (both "old" and incarnate), and Raids (CoP, Hami, Rikti Mothership). If the teams were working at cross purpose (PVP, Base Raids), then they should be judged separately.

You said it better than I could.

Finally got a successful team for the MoLambda. I'm done at this point except Passport, Bug Hunter, and still wishing I was 3 vet rewards higher.

Thanks for your support!

Yeah, I'm getting the same thing with my wired optical mouse as well. And yes, it is very frequent in the BAF trial.

Arcana, the exact same thing happens to a smaller extent now with a regular team of 8 players. Even in your example, one team could be all melee and plow through the area while the other group stealths and is selective about their targets.

Then you get to the "What is more valuable, damage vs buffing?" How are you to determine relative worth for various factors? I've said it above, and I'll say it again: I have yet to see a single player try to leech a trial.

I take exception to those labels. I am neither inexperienced or a hoarding leader (I don't assign myself to the ambushes). It is the simplest way to keep the trials from failing because it is (a) clear, (b) quick to get across, and (c) easily followed.

There is also the issue that if the group is trying to keep the AVs separated, then if the group on the AV dies or mass disconnects (and it happened to a trial I was on last night), the AV keeps aggro and moves across to where the teammates with the principal aggro is on (even if they are not in the same area).

The kicker is that I don't, in the middle of a trial, know who has some of the incarnate abilities slotted up. I can't count on everyone having any incarnate abilities at all. So the best solution is to devote a team to the ambushes, and teams to AVs.

There is another issue, the iXP is based on percentage of damage dealt. It is uneven across teams with how you (and others) are suggesting. It shouldn't be.

I haven't seen one person even try to "sponge" on any trial I've attended. I think that boogeyman needs to die a quick death.

Ok, to clear things up:

See the purple dots? I've seen the "extra" crate at all three locations on different runs. It is not static.

And the hangar is the room currently with 2 crates in it.

Yeah, I did too. Those were the simplest ways I could use to illustrate my point. That is also why I think that saying it is a pure 1:1 collision is inaccurate. A simple database isn't what they are worried about.

Agreed.

And this is one of the reasons why I'm bringing the suggestion. Having people ignore tactics is causing disruptions and raid failures.

After several Lambas tonight, that 2nd crate does move. It isn't static and will appear in one of the four large rooms somewhat randomly.

One of two choices: Either the GM in question doesn't know what he's talking about as that directly contradicts the place holder text, or the badge is bugged. Given the place holder text, I'll go with option #1.

I vote for GM being unaware of the actual requirements, the badge is bugged, and suffers from epic logic fail.

And that is a complete logic fail on the part of whoever coded those two badges.

It doesn't match the hint text for the badges (copied off of a live character):
Just by the stated requirements this would be the easiest of the three badges to get.

No mention of not getting the other temps.

No mention of not getting the other temps.

The problem is that you are making things even worse for the other two badges if you went by the support page. It doesn't encourage trying different things (get acids one time, get grenades another time), all it does is overwhelm teams needlessly.

I don't think a full league of controllers/dominators could break through those.

What is currently easier to grief? The Trials are just as easy to grief as the Zero Death Mo Badges, if not a bit easier.

• You don't have to die to grief (anonymity factor) the new trials.
• Your actions will not be shown to the other people on the league (unless you do so near the other players) so others can /ignore you and not team with you again.
• The trials require up to 3 times as many players to make sure they are following the requirements of the badges as the Zero Defeats Mo Badges.

These are factual reasons why the badges are easier to grief on the trials, not subjective reasons.

With the Zero Defeat Mo Badges everyone on the map instantly knows that you are dead and the person to cause the failure.

I'm not going to place a relative worth as to which is "worse" as that is a purely subjective assessment. Objectively, it is easier to grief the trial badges.

From there you should be able to make a series of bind files to load the "right" power to a single bind.

Edit:
Hmm, it seems the first two don't work.

Oh, I share that to some degree. Some of the badges are far too easy to grief. I suspect that some future badges will be even easier to grief.

There are 3 ways to fail these master badges:

1. Bring players that don't know what they are doing and who don't listen.
2. Having someone unintentionally or accidentally break a badge requirement.
3. Having someone intentionally fail a badge requirement.

The first way is the most prevalent. The second case is rare but noticeable.

Leagues don't have a way to track the third group though.

It means that the only moving non-player critters on the map are the two AVs.
