i would give this event a 1 out of 10. would have much preferred a retooling of any of the scripted events.
One thing that was funny, running into 2 dozen or so left over warders standing around in talos this morning with my low level stalker.

congrats

I don't think there are any new badges

you have 3 defeats
Bomb Specialist Badge Defeat 25 unexploded bombs
Chief Badge Defeat 10 Rikti Heavy Assault Suits during Rikti Invasions
Sentry Badge Defeat 100 Rikti during Rikti Invasions
get those and get
Watchman Badge which rewards Elusive Mind accolade power and some weapons depending on AT

how is this progressing?

Would appear the Rikti have been working on their strats

is it still going to run till July 30th?

have you checked your hard drive for errors? i had a drive going bad and had a few bad sectors, even after having the sectors marked bad that contained game files, the updater check would not pick up on the bad files. had to delete them and download new ones

well my ill/emp troller did jack for about 90% of the run last night.
got killed both times after casting lore pets, once i was even outside the bowl and got hammer'd

Empathy needs to be updated to be more useful in the end game.

went 1 for 5, started 6 but 1 ended with a league mapserver and did 2 farms.
think it is the worst trial of the bunch, and once people get done badging doubt many will do full runs again. even if it does become easier. Just nothing special about it, other than annoying.

Have Enhancement Boosters ever been on sale for 50% off?

Didn't do any hardcore number crunching, just pl'd some free toons doing ritki missions at +3x8. going by my herostats, i figured that i was getting 10 to 15% fewer salvage/recipes. vanguard merits seemed to be split equally, so their share poofed. Shards seemed to be the same. I got zero purple drops while with them, with something like 15,000+ kills

i have never looked into it, but does Paragon Rewards Program rank matter in getting Alignment Merits? I know you have to be Tier 4 to get reward and vanguard merits.

if you have not figured it out yet,
Slots/Enhancements -> Slots -> Auto-Arrange All Slots

do you use Shockwave much?

i do the ship raid with Talsorian Guard almost every week, but not in a long while with my c/e/e, anyway

things i would think about
strike, slash, kick - 4 slot with Kinetic Combat, a little pricey at 150+m per set
slash 5th slot - achilles' heel res debuff proc
drop Stealth pick up Maneuvers or Hover
Shockwave would 5 or 6 slot it with Positron Blast, while i used to love it, while mostly doing tf and itrials rare used it now, but could see its use on ship raids, but if you can get by not using it there would pick up Follow up (with another 4 Kinetic Combats)
Power Surge 1 slot is enough, really shouldn't need a recharge in it.
i also don't use Powersink that much, but if you plan on running task forces, would shift kick, tough and weave down (22/24/30) and get put Powersink at 35, Stealth to 49. that will at least help on all the ones level 30 to 46.

your data link doesn't work

when i get errors like this most times i can back out of the editor and pull up the supergroup info page and prestige will be in the negative. the quickest fix i found is to go out and earn more prestige to get it to right itself.

any thoughts of running more than 1 raid for double xp weekend?

yeah, i sold all the beacons on one my htp
and played around with skyway and steel cannon
no matter how i put just those 2 on, steel cannon was always first on the list

i have no idea how it it figures out the arrangement, i have mine attached at the top like this
[1] [4]
[2] [5]
[3] [6]
i attached them in the right order too
this is the way it shows
atlas, bricks, boomtown, creys, dark astoria, croatoa
the next one
ip, founders, echo:da, eden, faultline, echo:galaxy

Was a great raid, with just over 900 Vmerits, might have been my biggest haul yet.

Don't know who all were herding but they were bring in some pretty good piles, which i really don't recall seeing that much before I have tried gathering them up with my brute before, but with my graphic set so low i end up stuck on crap most of the time.

the problem with your train of thought, is that you assume that you have an HO that does effect 2 parts of said power.
but the reality is that HOs, like damage/mez and damage/range , atleast to me, are 10times more common.
so while i have like few dam/acc, i have a dozen+ of dam/mez
to which makes this less than than an SO

when i figured it up the other day, i will need 2 repecs to deslot those HOs or just delete them

can i have my L53 SOs back that i replaced with the now crappier HOs.
