Lemme know when any of this works....so far a half working CiT seems to be it.

10 mins eden trial?
fair enough, good for them, but every eden trial i've been on and done (badgehunters or pug) has been longer and has always been a mixed bag of chars/AT's doing it.
These guys will use a hand picked team of AT's (as has been mentioned many times previously in the posts above) to get it done, and of course tactics.

Case #1: I've been on teams that have failed this trial/tf, because they didn't have the "right" AT's, and your saying it's too easy?...

Case #2: On a pug team i had to go through 3 Ambrosia till the crystal titan went down, but then on another team he was down within one Ambrosia.

Case #3: a couple of weeks ago i did the STF with a completely random pug team (most hadn't done it before), and while we got through the earlier parts at a standard steady pace we hit the familiar wall of the AV's (GW mainly :P ), the only reason we got through it is because of tactics.
Took me 15 mins of almost shouting at them and mass deaths twice, but they got the message and we completed the tf in about 3 hours, but if i wasn't there with the experience of having been on 8 or more STF's, being helped through it by more experienced badgehunters, then that pug team would have quit (Indeed they were planning to do so, before i got a lil sarky with them :B )


So yes well done to these small minority of people (tops 20/30 peeps?) who did it 10 mins, but for the sake of the other 2/300,000+ players on CoH/V leave it as it is.
(close any blatent exploits ofc though. heh)

My opinion :
GM's should be long hard battles requiring lots of players and a large amount of damage spam.

The AV's in most cases are hard enough for most pug's (easy for badgehunter pugs but they tend to be rarer than the normal user pugs :P )

Badges seen in the wild!

:P

http://cityofheroes.wikia.com/wiki/Halloween_Event_2008

The badges are already on the wiki....man those guys work fast!

hmm, I very rarely IO slot my characters before 35/40 and even then I don't often slot anything apart from what i get as drops. (so i never slot much)
But i've never had problems with "missing a lot" on any of my chars be they tank, mm, defender, blaster, controller, etc.
In fact the only time I will miss loads is when I go against high lvl purples. But thats what teams are for - mass damage and mass buffs.

covered in awesome sauce? :P

30!

I heared about it ingame. I can't recall from where though, a contact or maybe a Security Chief? It was a couple of years ago.

/edit I found this quote from the security chief of boomtown on the wiki

Boomtown briefing
Baumton was the city's first marketplace, where tradesman and farmers went to sell their wares. After the Rikti Invasion, people started calling it Boomtown, because the devastation reminded them of a bomb crater. It's pretty dangerous. If I were you, I wouldn't go in without a few other heroes for backup. The place is infested with those Clockwork robots. They look like toys, but they cause plenty of havoc by stealing bits of machinery and metal from all over. Even worse, a giant clockwork monster called Babbage prevents any pacification of the zone. Be especially careful of him.

I still not found why Boomtown is the way it is, and Siren's call to...why?? how??

[/ QUOTE ]

Well Baumton (or "Boomtown") got the [Bad Word] blown out of it by the Rikti during the first invasion.

[/ QUOTE ]

And i've not seen mention of this reason anywhere, be it in game or on the wiki.

Are we *sure* that processing salvage counts?

Mind you... it does take AGES just to do 1k...

[/ QUOTE ]

It does (or did before i11, not sure since then) count when converting base salvage to components.

Hard to pre-order a game when you only learned about its existance 2 years after it was released.

[/ QUOTE ]

Seriously, that are hundreds if not thousands of ppl (who likely don't use the forums btw) who found out about this game well after the pre-orders were done.
In fact the game had been out for over a year or two before i even knew about it. (Just got my 12 month badge)

I notice how absoultely no one picked up on that....

...so yea, as a person never had a chance to pre-order without a time machine handy, i would happily pay to get them ala marrige pack stylee.

Lord Bane Goliath - I'll think of some more eventually :P

in defence of stone tanks (seeing that my main is one :P ) i've never had any complaints about how i play him, and with a team that doesn't run off getting agro randomly when i'm no where near to taunt it's rare that anyone dies.

maybe thats due to the people I most often team with *shrugs* but I often do pug teams and likewise don't get complaints often...most common one is more to do with "wai stone/stone man, u noob?!" - (thats an actual quote, made more amusing by hearing sg members complaining about his playing style later on, but anyway) - I have started on different tanks, and I do have to play them differently but thats half the fun. (working on a wp/axe tank atm)

...and i'm looking forward to dark/* tanks too...should be interesting

unfortuantly not (according to paragonwiki anyway)

By your own admission, villains get an AT balanced around PvP.

That would suggest that the devs do not, in fact, love heroes for pvp.

[/ QUOTE ]
I've noticed that the devs hate whichever faction I'm playing on the odd occasion I go into PvP areas... that can be the only reason that I'm not as uber as I feel I should be.

After i'd finished laughing my [censored] off that is.

While I won't be able to join you myself, try the Union Badgehunters chat channel as people are general up for and/or running tf's on there (and not all of them use the forums)

nothing to see here.....move along...
