We will hold a RHW badge attempt on Sunday, 25 November, at 5pm Pacific/7pm Central/8pm Eastern.
This will be the last chance we have for a preplanned run of this. All server players are welcome. I would appreciate it if all participants would please arrive a few minutes early for invites and pre-run instructions.
I am looking for Volunteers for this now, asking that you sign up for a space in the run early if possible. Cross server participants are more than welcome. Extra damage, corruptors, and kinetics will be definitely welcomed. Please keep in mind, that even if you do not care about this badge for yourself, major damage or -resistance abilities are still useful to those who do care about gaining it and a filled team will have a better chance of victory.
The requirements for the badge are as follows:
Defeat Tyrant in the last phase/fight of Magisterium without defeating any of the Lights of the Well.
The lights of the Well can only be defeated by using the temp power: Quills of Jocas. They are one shot by this power, so I must be VERY clear to not use this power in your attack chain.
In order to win this trial, I am seeking several small things from my players. As I am very lenient, do not expect me to enforce all of them, but I do expect you to make an attempt to be ready. Remember, if for some reason, you cannot manage the recommend Incarnate Slots on time, having something is still better than having nothing.
Required:- During the trial, play, don't chat. Chatting will get you killed. Chatting will confuse other players and make people less likely to see any instructions I might give.
Chatting makes my job leading that much harder. - Realizing that the above will likely not be completely respected, I will do my best to also send my instructions to the Request channel.
- Be a +3 lvl incarnate
- Have a t3 or t4 Core branch Lore pet
- Have Ultimate Inspirations ready to use. The more the better.
- Be prepared to listen and follow procedures outlined before and during the trial. I will be checking.
- Expect the Tyrant fight to take the whole 20 minutes. Do not get nervous and jump the gun.
- Have either Assault or Support Hybrid
- Assault
- Tactics
- Corruptors
If you wish to Volunteer for this trial, now is the time. As said above, I plan to form this run at 5pm Pacific/7pm Central time on Sunday, 25 November, 2012. Remember that space is limited, so it is on a first come, first served basis.
Thank you all for your time,

The critical moment, I believe, comes at just after the six minute mark where I believe Lore pets were called. We hover around 30% because I think we were still casting pets and getting back into sync with the lightning.
If I am right, that would have been about the 300000 mark on your graph. -
No worries, Radiac. I'll put you on maybe and hope we see you.
I hope to see everyone there

We win.
That's right, Triumph has our first official win for the Really Hard Way badge on October 28, 2012. Thanks go to all participants, and especially to @Snow Globe, who has co-led these for weeks now.
This doesn't mean that we are stopping. We have shown that there are gaming gods in CoH, and Triumph houses some of them. Now we shall show that still more exist.

Quote:We might. But a few things come to mind on that.Originally Posted by Random_McEric
I will be there again this week. I'm a little concerned though that we may have trouble getting enough people to spend any time on their incarnates during the last ever double XP weekend.
The first, sure, you've got a new lvl 50 and 40 days to play it before some poor sad sod of a soul must pull the plug on our pugilistic play place. Many may think "Why bother"
The second, How many people are going to give up a chance to make that last most difficult badge and say, I had nothing I wanted that I didn't at least do my utmost to get. Of course, that why bother argument will apply to even this, for some people...
A third though.... We already have sufficient numbers signed in to start the trial. We really just need to fill out and maximize our damage potential. There's nothing much to worry about for getting enough people at this point.
Our people are the best. It will happen -

I would be interested in transferring my main to triumph for this...HOWEVER
While I'm T4'ed out I don't have hybrid unlocked. LvL 50, ss/fire/pyre brute.
I also have a lvl 50 nec/dark MM that's also quite incarnated out ...
Yay? nay? pity spot?.
If you believe that you can do your part, and will have more enjoyment out of playing your brute than an MM, then by all means bring the brute.
While I would 'prefer' that you get hybrid in this next week, I imagine I can be lenient.

Hello Triumph,
On Sunday, 21 October, 2012, I will be running the Really Hard Way badge attempt(s) for Triumph server. I will start the trial forming at 5pm Pacific/7pm Central, and plan to start by 5:30pm.
Please Note: The time is an hour later than in previous weeks. This is to accomodate the many players that are incapable of making earlier times for family reasons. I hope this helps.

Hello Triumph,
On Sunday, 14 October, 2012, I will be running the Really Hard Way badge attempt(s) for Triumph server. I will start the trial forming at 4pm Pacific/6pm Central, and plan to start by 4:30pm.
Our first run, unlike in previous weeks, will not be a Really Hard way attempt, but a simpler run for the speed badge: Ready to Rumble. 8 minutes to kill 250 IDF, Nega-Pendragon, Chimera, Shadowhunter, and Black Swan.
Immediately following the one attempt at this will be the Really Hard Way badge attempt. I am looking for Volunteers for the RHW now, asking that you sign up for a space in the run as early as possible. Cross server participants are welcome. Extra damage, corruptors, and kinetics will be definitely welcomed.

That's 16 spaces spoken for. 8 remain for yall to join in on.
If you've been reading the helpful tips people have been leaving, I am sure you've noticed the recommendations for massive kinetic/Corruptor presence. I think that would be nice, and would definitely make @Vanden happy. He's been saying that we need to organize a special league build since Day 1. He still brings his tank to a RHW league with 3 other tanks though .XD
I agree more with Ukaserex, that a team does not need all these special bells and whistles.
I've been on Triumph for 7 years now. There aren't always a lot of people here who are both willing and able to join in on Master Trials there. I've always made it a point to not turn anyone away, if they have the courage to try. Sometimes, it takes a few weeks for us to get the hang of a trial. Keyes was prolly the hardest in fact; something about staying out of green patches of light was hard to understand for some players.
We have always emerged Triumphant in the long run though. We have never failed to get every badge in an issue before the next issue was released. Without swapping servers. Without some uberbuilt team. We've done it through determination, practice, and a conviction that any team of players in the game can face any challenge in the game and come out victorious if they know their toons well enough.
Triumph, you've never disappointed me. Ever.
That's why I am only stating that players that lead to an uberteam build are more than welcomed. I will never demand that we force a team build on Triumph. I leave that to others. -

Hello Triumph,
On 23 September, 2012, I will be running the 4th week of Really Hard Way badge attempts for Triumph server in a row. I will start the trial at 4pm Pacific/6pm Central, although I would appreciate it if all participants would please arrive 30 minutes early for invites and pre-run instructions.
Fair warning, this may be my last organized run for this, as the new college term starts the following Monday for me. I do not yet know what kind of freedom I have on my time following this date.

This is how i build the league and run TRHW and i hope it helps you guys
We have run TRHW on Union with 14 people so pls dont be afraid to go with lower numbers than 24
Get as much range damage and debuffers as you can. Its a fight between the leagues Damage output and Tyrants Regen. Get as much Psy and Sonic damage as you can and as much -res as you can.
Kins are crucial imo : get 3 if you can and have them spamming Fulcrum Shift and Speedboost - you want the whole league at MAX Dam and MAX Rch
Ultimate Inspirations are crucial and EVERYONE must have them : i dont call for Ultimates to be used until Tyrant is at 50% health, then i ask everyone to make sure they have one used at all times.
Lore Pets: i call for these once we have taken Tyrant down to 25% (even tho he will regen a little) and i call for them when we are safe : ie just after the lightning has passed.
The Fight: ALL LEAGUE in melee - the SECOND you see the AIR CRACKLES, ALL move away BUT keep up those range attacks. Dont chain attacks - DONT try and get another hit in before you move! You want the lightning to strike at range then you can ALL get back in melee ASAP. If one person doesnt move then the lightning can appear around Tyrant and you are prevented from getting back tight on him. Melee toons save any range attacks/judgements for when they are backed away, so you keep up constant DPS on him.
When you are ALL back in melee - SPAM those Destinies - Fulcrums - sb's - buffs
Keep debuffs on him at all times.
Corruptors Scourge is very useful particularly during the last few % of the fight - so build in as many as you can.
Tyrant will regen - you will hit a couple of walls where you dont seem to be getting his HP down, pop those Ults and keep at it - There have been a couple of runs where we seem to be doing nothing for what seems like an eternity and its easy to think "meh we aint gonna do this" but we stuck at it and broke down the wall.
I hope this helps I know different servers run it differently, but the above works for us on Union
Good Luck -

I'm trying to organize this for Guardian as well on Friday at 7pm EST and Saturday (MoUG first, then onto MoMagi & TRHW) starting at 2pm EST.
I'll be available to help you guys regardless of our success with this.

There is an island in Talos with a natural cove inside it. It has a fantastic view out to sea, and I have many fond memories of the place. I will park -Michael there, so he can always watch the sunrise over the sea.
If they never fixed the teleport loophole I used to get there, I will park Desert Ghost on an asteroid outside of Pocket D.
Finally, I shall make a lvl 1 willpower/martial arts tank named Dr. Jane Goodall and park her on Monkey Island, in tribute. -
Hello Triumph,
This past weekend, I ran the Really Hard Way Magisterium Badge trial for those interested. This upcoming weekend, I will do so again. It is my goal to be sure that no player leaves CoH for good with the ghosts of I could have done this, if I had that one last shot.
This will be our third week attempting this, both previous weeks have been successful insofar as obtaining the Hard Way badge, but we've been 'just' too low on the damage needed for the Really Hard Way. So I will be asking for people to bring massive damage this time, if possible. If not, bring your badger anyway, and we'll give it our best shot anyway.
Now, I am looking for Volunteers for this and any shared information someone cares to give now. Please keep in mind, even if you do not care about this badge for yourself, major damage or -resistance abilities are still useful to those who do care about gaining it, and a filled team will have a better chance..
The trial is intended to be started at 4pm PST/7pm EST on Sunday, September 16th 2012. Try to show a half hour early for instruction on what to expect and what procedures I will be asking for that go beyond what a normal magisterium entails.
The requirements for the badge are as follows:
Defeat Tyrant in the last phase/fight of Magisterium without defeating any of the Lights of the Well.
The lights of the Well can only be defeated by using the temp power: Quills of Jocas. They are one shot by this power, so I must be VERY clear to not use this power in your attack chain.
In order to win this trial, I am seeking several small things from my players. As I am very lenient, do not expect me to enforce all of them, but I do expect you to make an attempt to be ready. Remember, if for some reason, you cannot manage the recommend Incarnate Slots on time, having something is still better than having nothing.

- Have a t4 Core branch Lore pet
- Have either Assault or Support Hybrid
- Have Ultimate Inspirations ready to use. The more the better.
- Be prepared to listen and follow procedures outlined before and during the trial. I will be checking.
- Expect the Tyrant fight to take the whole 20 minutes. Do not get nervous and jump the gun.
If you wish to Volunteer for this trial, now is the time. As said above, I plan to attempt this run at 4pm Pacific/7pm Eastern time on Sunday, September 16th. Remember, space is limited, so it is on a first come, first served basis.
