    Excellent post.
  2. Looking forward to seeing the new sets.

    Ahh, more alts to make.

    Actually, a fix is progress for iXP for leagues with more than 8 members.

  4. You don't increased rewards any longer on the spawn team.

    Shared league wide now.
  5. BAF is the favorite trial for me.

    It's straight-forward. I usually enjoy stopping the prisoners. It's a good all around trial.

    I love Lambda on my Bane. Otherwise, it's eh.

    Keyes - I'll skip it. Fortunately, that seems to be the majority opinion.

    That being said, I only do trials for the carrots. Lambda on my Bane, I would do occassionally, but I would otherwise be doing story arcs and tips.
  6. I'm hoping that this is a bug with League xp sharing, as it didn't use to be this way.
  7. I'm no expert at all, but you need more slots in attacks for IO bonuses.

    I would dump the 3 extra slots in Vengeance and the 3 to hits in Aim.

    Does Fulcrum Shift need 3 Accuracy?

    I thought you were some sort of leet powergamer who likes a challenge or something.

    I mean, I can do the BAF. Hell, I could probably lead one, by now. It seems a bit...simple. And not like 'easy' - like 'simpleton'.

    Eco.
    And yet, some people can't lead a BAF. I'm sure you would do fine, but others, not so well.

    And I saw 3 people standing in the door and 3 people in the cutscene spot.

    Me: <name1>, <name2>, <name3>, help in lab, you three
    Me: also the 3 @$$holes in the cutscene
    Me: we need help in lab, stop slacking
    League Leader: be nice, leandro. i figured they'd have the last one before we could get there

    Two of the players in the cutscene moved to help, but one of them just stayed there without giving a darn. This is why I have a strict "you're goofing around in the cutscene, you're kicked" policy, and I announce it clearly.
    I like the way you think.

    Sounds like the Star Wars Galaxies argument. That went well.

    Unless you had a concept that fits better with two handed weapons.

    Which Sam clearly does.
  12. Basically.

    Truthfully, I look at rewards merits as just a way to buy more alignment merits.

    In case you haven't tried the wiki (you probably have, but newer players may not know...)

    One of the biggest mistakes they made was allowing two banned individuals back.

That and random thread drops here and there. Or better yet, if the missions are multi-objective, thread drops for completing the objectives.

    It'd be SLOWER than relentlessly grinding trials, but not "a few days vs 7-12 months" slower.
    There have been a number of suggestions like this, and I would love them to be done.
  15. I'd support most ideas that remove the needless complexity to the system.

    I think I can!
  17. Thanks for starting this thread, Bill. Some good data - and as others have noted, x8 isn't normal either, so this is the more quick solo method.

    I wish I could say I'm surprised by the crap being thrown at Bill.

    Edit - after being on my first Keyes, I appreciate the earlier 2 trials much more.

    Or waste their time on a failed Keyes. After sitting around.

    Golden Girl? Strawman? Inconceivable!
  20. I know I'll make new characters on teh VIP server, but probably not move any.
  21. I thought you could join at -4 without the Alpha. Not personal knowledge, as never having done the task force, but I thought that was the way it worked.
