    Yep. I got that on an early run, long before my first SUCCESSFUL run.
    Fail to complete trial, but get a badge anyway. Sweet.

    So you operate under the assumption that a significant (and apparently large) percentage of the players are scum. Ouch. If you've actually had experiences that led to this position, I would say you have had extremely bad luck.

    Pocket D also has one more selling point - a lot of players have the Pocket D teleporter: <click> bamf!

    Right. Inf earning is based on your ACTUAL level. So is earning XP. Otherwise your rewards would be negligible if you exemped from 49 down to 15.

    and I got two incarnate shard drops. All salvage and recipes dropped as if lvl 15.
    Except the end of mission recipes, as you noted in your other post. Those drop at your level.

    On completion, I was awarded 40 merits (which I think is higher than normal)
    It's not. It's supposed to be 40.

    Quote:
    and the Positron's Ally badge, but no additional incarnate rewards.
    Yep, that's working correctly.

    Quote:
    So, it looks like doing it this way gets you some of the advantages of the WTF, but not all.
    Actually, it gets you NONE of them.
    - You do not earn double merits.
    - You do not earn the bonus XP.
    - You do not receive a Notice of the Well.

    Working as intended. You can get those in any TF or mission now.


    To summarize, every single item you described is working exactly as it was supposed to.

    Tell me, do you even entertain the notion that you might be wrong?

    I didn't get it with a dedicated group. Not glossing over anything here.

    No, you're confusing/combining "Inf Badge Seeker" and "Infinity Badges 2.0". Both of these are active channels.

    Judgment

    Currently, DUE TO BEING BUGGED, Ionic is the most popular. The Judgement powers are not supposed to benefit from your damage buffs. The Ionic effect jumps from target to target and, after the first one, inherits your damage buffs. So it's currently doing crazy damage until it gets fixed.

    Personally, I took Void for thematic reasons and the fact that it also applies a damage debuff on the enemy. (It can also do knockback or extra damage, but I'm not going that route in the tree.)

    Not following you at all.
    Why would Issue 20 be having any affect on how many people are online??? um, because it's popular? I think that would explain all the people online. And no, you wouldn't expect the crowds to be on "all week long". Most people don't play as much on weeknights.

    It makes you sound like an Apple Computers product.

    Actually, they're doing it on THEIR time, when people are on hand to do the work. It's a business decision and based on personnel scheduling.
  13. Someone posted that no one on their run got a Notice of the Well, but all other rewards worked correctly. I haven't tried it myself.
  14. Monitor what?

    It sounds like your connection can't handle the amount of data being sent when all those powers are fired at once. I'm in an SG with someone who used to be on dial-up. During that time (he has a better connection now), if there were a bunch of us in the base, we could reliably DC him if we had 10-12 people crowd around him and fire off their buffs. This is 10-12 empathy characters with no pets and before Incarnate powers existed.

    So I would say to anyone right now don't play these TFs for the rewards. Because you probably won't get them and if you don't, no one is going to care. Apparently fully participating throughout the Trial counts for nothing.
    I experienced the first problem you list exactly ONCE (on the very first day) and none of the others at all. This is out of . . . I think 30 trials. I've actually been keeping track of how many I ran but I'm at work right now. So these problems are by no means common.

    I believe the level shift WAS still working. I only seemed to be losing the enhancement to powers.

    Issue 20 isn't an "event"? I would have to disagree. When I logged in the other night, NONE of the servers were green. The servers are all jumping! Not only is Issue 20 an event, it's apparently quite a popular one.

    Can we kill a player and loot the body in this game?

    I've gotten Very Rare once, Rare once, a couple of Commons and mostly Uncommons. This is in 11 successes.

    So.. um... Uncommon seems more common than Common?

    And after you left, I managed to get Master of BAF.
    I can't figure out if you're a jinx or good luck.

    I can confirm the Alpha slot bug is NOT fixed - checked a few minutes ago.
