Also, in general, playing in first person mode is bad, or really close to it. You want to have a good view of your surroundings. Especially with the beam, since it's going to be a ground-target effect, if you're in first person, there's more than a fair chance you won't even notice it.

That was not the fault of the trial, that was clearly my fault for being, momentarily, a horrible player.

The green patch is actually not that hard to see, and its actually virtually impossible to be obscured if you are using proper strategy. The proper strategy is to move away from other players and get some breathing room just before the Obliteration timer expires, or just all the time really, so you can always see the ground around you. The green patch is a hazy green circle maybe thirty feet across, but with a green cross hair at the center: you can't miss that detail. If you aren't totally surrounded by players when it appears, you should see it easily and be able to move away. If you are totally surrounded by other players it'll be hard to avoid even if you do see it, which is why its important to keep some spacing around yourself.

It helps if you are not running a full league for this, because the less players the less crowded the area around AM is. AM himself is a relative pushover, and does not require 24 people beating on him to take him out.

For people who don't like it, Keyes is there to provide an incentive to not complain about Lambda and BAF so much. The devs are doing a really great job of slowly ratcheting expectations upward. Remember when Lambda and BAF were super-hard content that had no business being in a casual-friendly game like City of Heroes? People were saying that less than two thousand hours ago. Now, people talk about BAF and Lambda like they were talking about running Maria's arc at +2.

Like all defense sets, EA benefits greatly from IO's up to a certain point. At that point the resistance sets start to catch up until they benefit more from IO's.

It might have been a post by staatesman back in the day I am remembering because I cont find any info on the shadow shards origins that are that definitive.

Honestly, the Rikti are actually more likely to become allies in repelling the Battalion all things considered.

From the wiki: "The Hro'Dtohz file This dossier has been put together using mostly Rikti sources. The first few are all about the rise and fall of the Rikti homeworld's military caste, called the Lineage of War. After the initial wars to unify the planet thousands of years ago, the Lineage of War was very small, only rising to prominence during a very few infrequent civil wars and insurrections. Their last big operation was against an alien force called the Battalion about 100 years ago. Since then, their power had been tapering off to its normal ceremonial levels until the start of the war with Earth."
