Tidbit

I believe Blessings start at 10?

I, too, have a home on Pinnacle and have very little problem finding teams for level 50 content. About the only conflict I run into is if there is a Hami Raid or Mothership Raid running. On occasion they post the raids on the server forum. And you can also try posting there to drum up some activity yourself.

For the technically challenged, and not so much in the know, if you purchase it through Steam, do you have to run it through Steam? I'm perfectly happy the way I access the game now, but would love to take advantage of the bargain. Thanks!

Let's see - BAF and Lambda have been live for, what three months now? And have been run repeatedly so that people can do it in their sleep?

Keyes has been live for less than two weeks? It will soon become just as easy to run as the other two.

I like having a third option to getting the iXP and drops.

Sorry I missed the fun. Holiday and family commitments, and all. Looking forward to next week.

Also, Post, you can use the thread components to slot your Alpha. In fact it might be easier. I tend to get a lot of common and uncommon pieces from the trial grinds so they are more available than shards.

Thought I'd bump this up as a reminder, and to see if anyone will be on tonight.

I'd say the A merits from tips. Takes two, and you chose the level you want it for, from the level the character is, on down.

This is an old favorite, and fitting for marketeers

I know some of us went for Earth Mastery for the defensive shield, but I find that rocky exterior to be hideous. Fire Mastery was a much better fit, thematically and functionally. I love consume when I'm running a bit low on End, especially when I've fired off EM Pulse. I also went with cardiac on the Alpha, both for End, and the resistance bonus which pairs nicely with Fire Shield.

Hmm. I'm off that day so any time would be good for me.

I had both morality missions available to me, and I thought Arachnos would be better than Malta. Plus I think the spawns are more numerous on the Grandville map. We were a team of 4, running it +1, team of 8.

Besides Postie's level up, Pesticle, too, hit 49. I thought we did very well, especially when the spawns appeared on top of the mobs that were already in place. Otherwise it was a casual evening.

Try it on the test server?

It has been my experience that the BAF xp is much slower to acquire, troller or not, than the Lambda. Especially when the leader of the League decides he wants one team to handle the spawns while the other two teams deal with the AV's and I usually am on an AV team.

And all the efforts of your team will help generate XP so it doesn't matter whether you are a troller or not, as long as your team is actively taking out the mobs.

I happened to log in on Liberty when the event began. I switched out to a level 50, who happened to be in Atlas. It was laggy as I made my way to where the mobs were spawning, and then time just froze. I could chat and invite to my team with no problem, but could barely move and could hardly attack.

I switched out to a character that was in Talos and had better luck. For Freedom I will camp my character in the farthest corner of the most remote map (maybe Terra Volta for the heck of it) and see how I fare .

In each power there are 4 possible tier 3's. You need any two of those to create any one of the 2 possible tier 4's for that specific power.

As they are testing the server merge now, this may happen sooner rather than later, if all goes well. And since they just had a sale on server transfers, I don't know if they would so quickly follow that up with free transfers. In other words, we'll have to wait and see .

Unfortunatley I had to bow out early - daughter had a meltdown. We ran a couple tip missions and went our separate ways. That last mission - team of 3, set to a team of 8 +1 level, against Knives of Artemis, was crazy, but in a fun way. Would love to have run more. Hopefully next week will be better.

I would recommend posting in the Freedom Server forum to see if there is interest. With as many people that frequent that server I'm sure you could find plenty. Just pick a time and day and have people sign up.

In addition, if you haven't already, join one of the several chat channels for that server. I never have a problem pulling together a TF there, though to be honest I haven't participated in much outside of the incarnate trials of late.

Wanted to bump this up as a reminder. I ran into a couple former participants this weekend that might show up.

So what's the plan for tonight? Work on the WTF? Tips? Incarnate trials (though I could certainly use a break from that )? Try the Sutter TF again? Hope to see you tonight!
