Ironblade

So he would need to pick elemental based powers, and then use a costume with the Heart pattern from the Valentine's Day event.

umm.... it EXACTLY answers the question you posted. I followed the link and it lists the badges that are restricted by alignment. Did you mean to ask something different?


And getting sarcastic with people who are trying to help is always a good plan. <sigh>

I dunno. It sounds like you can't be trusted to care for another computer.

That was my first thought as well.

My brain is already full. I have a T-shirt that names me as "The Marvelous Master of Memorized Minutia", having "The World's Largest Brain".
(Seriously. My mother gave it to me. )

Four hours? Spending four hours at getting badges? What kind of obsessive individual would . . . um. . . . never mind.

The distribution seemed better in that limited sample. I got several Commons, for a change. I still got an awful lot of Uncommons. At least I can now downgrade them.


I was there for that. I said we need to put a lot of smilies on our sentences!


BTW, the only time I've ever gotten the 10 thread table, on any character, was on two runs where I DC'ed multiple times. Even 8-10 trips to the hospital didn't seem to hurt my 'participation rating'.

No. What Baryonyx said is that, once you hit a certain level of 'participation' you move off the '10 thread consolation table' and get the regular (common/uncommon/rare/very rare) tables. WHICH table you get is RANDOM.
To restate: Participation too low gets you the 10 thread table. Participation above that level gets you one of the others, DETERMINED RANDOMLY.

All the servers are like that.

First, you should do the arc from Mender Ramiel in Ouroboros to unlock your 'Alpha Slot'. You will then be able to earn 'shards' from just about any activity. Just let them accumulate for now while you learn how the system works.

The other slots are unlocked in the two new trials. Go to this page on Paragonwiki.com to read up on the Incarnate system. Different characters are likely to be interested in certain powers. You don't want to be running the Lambda trial if it doesn't unlock the power you're absolutely dying for.

Edit: You should probably also visit the forum section for whichever server you are on and make a 'Hello' post like you did here. They can tell you about what global channels are useful on each server and anything that server does differently. For example, some servers mostly run the Incarnate trials from Pocket D while others work from the Rikti War Zone.

Or keep them smaller. I know someone who routinely runs the BAF with only 16 players. The lag situation is much better during the prisoner phase.

Because she's been grinding these trials like there's no tomorrow.

I noticed that. No mention when it was on Test; no mention in the patch notes going live. It's possible (hope hope) that they realized this would be an onerous change and decided not to go through with it.

When farming for rep for the badge, we would typically have 6-10 players so it was a bit of a social event. Doing it alone (or with just 2 people) would be awfully tedious.

Oh... and some people might deliberately be looking for terrain features that will let them 'scrape off' an auto-follow character.
Unless, of course, they gave warning. "Have to AFK a minute. Putting so-and-so on auto-follow."

I know all those things and I just TOLD you what teams could do differently: treat the side area as 'defeat all' rather than 'collect 10 glowies'.

And, realistically, if people are actually running Lambda three times in this 'aberrant' fashion to get these annoying badges, I doubt that the salvage drops are their highest priority.

Are you aware that leaving the turrets active awards a badge?

Do not make me come out there and kick you into the ocean.

OMG, look who I'm trapped in NY with!

I implied nothing. I stated that your claims were factually incorrect and explained why. I dislike seeing false statements on the forums as it could cause new/inexperienced players to be misinformed.

Had you said something like, "I felt useless because these guys ignored my mez." that would be fine. But you said that your powers were "essentially disabled", which was not true.


And now you're exaggerating. ONE enemy type in ONE part of the trial has this defense. And that makes your character "garbage" for the entire trial? Bull.

None of the above.

Putting Healing Aura on auto-fire is generally met with scorn and derision (as you experienced) because the person doing it is regard as, AT BEST, only marginally competent. My experience in-game generally supports this view.

I've seen people with Healing Aura on auto-fire run their END down to zero, rendering them useless. When this is pointed out to them, they insist auto-firing it is a good tactic despite the obvious evidence to the contrary.

The only time I put Healing Aura on auto-fire is in a mass combat situation since I can't see the hit point bars of the people not on my team and it's a safe bet someone near me is injured. Examples of mass combat would be Mothership raids, Hamidon raids and multiple teams fighting a Giant Monster. Even though the League system would allow you to see everyone's hit points, I think it's still a valid move in the Incarnate trials since there are generally an army of pets contributing damage.

Unfortunately, it won't add you to trials that merely have room. It only pulls new players from the queue if the league falls below the minimum size to start the trial.
