Quote:Thank you very much for the kind words. I am very happy I could help you get those tough badges!Originally Posted by U_S_C_I
I would like to tell the Champion server something they already know...Amygdala is one of the most awesome players you have.
For six months now, I have been on one failed MoKeyes attempt after another, either from someone who didn't know how to follow directions (after being informed that this is a badge attempt) or purposely grieved our attempt. Six months.
For six LONG months, the "Loves a Challenge" and "Avoids the Green Stuff" badges eluded my badge collecting hero. My pride felt naked in the company of those that have earned the honor of "Master of Keyes Task Force". In public, I endured the taunts with brave humility but in private, my composure crumbled.
However, last night I was fortunate enough to have been included on a MoKeyes attempt hosted by Amygdala. I was as nervous as a level 1 hero joining in their first battle. I forced myself to remain calm, cool, and professional.
One run, folks. One run was all it took to get those two elusive badges. One freakin' run and six months worth of effort was accomplished.
To Amygdala, I salute you as one of this game's worthy heroes.
Now...on to "Fair and Balanced" and "A Perfect Storm"...
I have to say that last night's league had a lot of heavy hitters from Champion you may not know by name at this point but are definitely worthy of mention as well. We had a good number of veteran players who have been around for years, some of which have also lead successful MoKeyes and other MoTrial runs, and they are:
Placta
Lady Clara
Jitsurei
Cobalt Azurean
Disciple of Horus
BigMoneyHustla
Purple Manwolf
Ulysses Dare
TheEastWind
Death Hazzard
We also had some players that are either relatively new to the game, or returning players that are new to iTrials in general, and have mastered them in a short amount of time. I am extremely impressed with these players.
Dark Epitaph
Maros
Pyric
Azizi
Last but not least, someone with lots of game experience but relatively new to Champion, Niqodemus!
I think that's the entire league that participated in Green Stuff/Loves a Challenge. There were also some folks that joined for Anti Anti Matter and Bunker Buster (SteelDominator, Neuronia, JAK6). Sorry if I missed anyone! -
Quote:This. Excellent league tonight! People really listened well and were extremely attentive. It was quite amazing. We really have some awesome players on our server.Originally Posted by Cobalt Azurean
Extremely well done, Champion.
You rock.
Also, special thanks to USCI and Grouchybeast for joining us and helping to make the badge run a success!
Stay tuned for more iTrial badge runs. Will probably do a MoTPN or MoMoM next (and by MoMoM I mean Perfect Storm). -
This is tonight!
I will be going over the strategy in greater detail once everyone is present, but here are the main visual cues to watch out for during the trial:

I've just done the transfer, and parked the character (Ellie Mintal) in Pocket D. See you later!
See you tonight then. Welcome to Champion.

Quote:I will reserve a spot for you until the start time (8pm Eastern). I'd like to start as promptly as possible since I expect to run 3 to 4 runs back to back. If you're able to make it on time, the spot is yours.Originally Posted by Grouchybeast
I'd love to reserve a place, if I could. I promise I've done lots of Keyes runs before! I'll need to transfer my badge character over from Defiant, though.
Please would you let me know if there's still space, before I make the transfer? Just let me know if you'll be transferring.
As Malice said, please make sure that the colour of Rebirths and other Destiny powers are anything but green. When there are other green powers firing it makes the beam more difficult to see. -

Thanks to Jitsurei, I was able to get MoUnderground last night! Thanks, Jits!

Quote:I don't plan on using Incandescence in our strategy for this weekend. So far I've been able to get the badge without it. I would prioritize having powers like Barrier or Rebirth since we'll also be going for Loves a Challenge at the same time.Originally Posted by RevolverMike
Will we be using the teleport destiny? I can craft one if needed. Never used it before but after i craft it i can play with it and familiarize myself before than. My main should have enough components for whatever tier is needed.
However, if I see we are really struggling with the usual method, I'll may look into using it for the following week. -
This Saturday May 26th at 8pm Eastern in Pocket D I will host a few consecutive Keyes runs aimed at earning the badges for MoKeyes, specifically Avoids the Green Stuff and Loves a Challenge.
These badges can be extremely difficult to get. For this reason I will ask that you are familiar with the basics of the Keyes trial. E.g., it's not your first time running Keyes, you know what I mean by "Obliteration Beam", etc.
I will start forming at 7:30pm in Pocket D. The past few badge runs have filled up before 8pm Eastern. So if you would like me to reserve a spot, please post in this thread. I'll hold reserved spots until 8pm.
See you then! -
And MoDD successful! Thanks everyone who came out tonight.

This is tonight!

I've found that most reliable vets already have those badges and aren't particularly interested in running the content again.
I would be happy to help with whatever badges you need. I'm pretty sure that if you put the word out others would help too. -
Sounds like this server is a good fit for you. Great to hear that you're enjoying yourself so far!
-
On Saturday May 19th at 8pm Eastern in Pocket D I will host a MoDD. No previous experience with the trial is necessary but please bring a level shifted character, as this trial contains level shifted AVs (54+3).
I will start forming around 7:30pm Eastern. See you then! -
Glad to hear you're having a good time with trials on Champion!

Congrats all!

Quote:We get MoTPN fairly often just by running the trial. However, I've heard of a few people that need it still, so I may schedule one.Originally Posted by Ukaserex
Now that I think about it, I'd like to get an MoTPN on a couple of my toons. But, they are still drinking milk and not quite ready.
I plan on doing more runs. My next one will likely be MoDD, possibly MoTPN after that, then I'll likely circle back to MoKeyes and start the rotation again. I would be willing to try a different time slot but this one seems to work fairly well for most people I've spoken to so far.Quote:Originally Posted by ComixGeekAlso, Amy, if you're going to keep doing Master runs, I have hope that I'll be able to arrange to make your typical Saturday 8 pm slot more often in the future. Just been a little difficult for me lately, sometimes due to plans, sometimes due to things coming up. TPN is the only mastery I have, but I have at least one on all of them but Keyes and Dilemma Diabolique (which I haven't even successfully completed yet). -
Quote:I would be more than willing to help. Check your PMs.Originally Posted by Niqodemus
I'm thinking of moving my badger from Guardian to Champion after all of the amazing things I've heard about the community. Here's what I need if you all would be willing to help out a stranger:
TPN - News Flash
MoM - Everything but Lost Connection to Server
UG - Preservation Specialist and Avatar Assassin
Keyes - Avoids the Green Stuff and Loves a Challenge
I also need the Seed of Hami badge from FW.
I'll be more than happy to help with any and all the badges people need in return.

Thanks for the kind words everyone!
I'd just like to add that our iTrial methods on Champion are the result of several leaders collaborating, experimenting and building off of each other over time. So, although I may have passed some things along, there are others who are also responsible for the finished product.
With that said, it was very exciting to have a trial leader from another server on some of our runs. I really enjoy comparing notes and seeing what differences there are. I won't be around much this weekend but hope to see you on future trials.
I checked out your Bucket List thread. My impression is that you got the bomb badge because of this part:
Quote:If you were within 80ft of a bomb and it detonated, you would have noticed the damage. Hard to say without having been there though.Originally Posted by UkaserexAgain, reports were conflicting - one thing is certain, noone got blown up by it, so it may have been an Mo.
"She" is correct.Quote:Originally Posted by gameboy1234(I assume it's "she." I've never seen her correct anyone saying that.)

This one is a little late but...
...congrats to @Spatch for hitting level 50 on their Stalker, Staph Infection! -
Quote:Your theory needs a bit o' work considerin' that I don't share the same love o' apostrophes...Originally Posted by RevolverMike
I think the fact that Amy and Cobalt posted at the same time confirms my theory they are one and the same.
...or do I?
Anyways.
If Cobalt's bein' nice, it means he's experiencin' a malfunction o' sorts. He'll return to normal once the server resets.Quote:Originally Posted by RevolverMikeAw. Thats the nicest thing you've ever told me.
True story. -
Quote:It's not difficult and pretty easy to accomplish even with a small group of people. You'll have a UI that shows a count of all the seedlings and what they do. I've done it before by only taking out the seedlings that grant +Def and +Regen, but you can pretty well wing it and take out what you think is necessary.Originally Posted by Neuronia
Let's get together in First Ward and get the badges...never done this but I imagine we need Clarion to offset confusion, Rebirth to offset -Regen and whatnot. As I said, my only experience with it was when Devs spawned the seedlings in Atlas one day...so I'll defer to others on strat but will run this.
No objection to people bringing lower level toons but the more Incarnates in the attempt the better/faster it will go. -
Thanks to everyone who came out this week. We had 3 extremely smooth runs and walked away with MoLambda. Congrats on the badges!

This is tonight!

Quote:So far we've covered MoKeyes, MoBAF, MoUGT and tonight will be MoLambda. I'll probably schedule a MoDD at some point then possibly start the rotation again depending on interest.Originally Posted by Malice_A4Thought
aggh not on Derby day!!!! I do need some keyes badges and maybe a few others as I've just found this thread... I will keep an eye out for when you Run them Amy!

Keep the badge requests coming! -
Great raid all. Thanks for hosting, Ukaserex.
