I would do a MoLAM, 53 Fire/Ice Blaster, 1205 badges, experienced lambda leader, attempted several MOs with pickups with varying success, but never to successful completion.

The MoSTF is the last exclusively blueside (hero/vig/rog) badge I need on my main character. I would like to switch back to redside (villain) to complete some other stuff and work on a-merits. Hopefully, I can find 7 more like-minded people at the same time this weekend.

Start Time: Friday, April 22, 10pm EST.
Location: Independence Port
Merits: 37

If you're interested, please give me your local and global name, AT, pri/sec/(ancillary) (incarnates if you want).

Any AT accepted. Preference is for a good mix of ATs that are 51 Alpha Incarnates, other slots optional. Lore would be nice.

My experience last time demonstrated again, though, that it has less to do with AT and powers than it does to playstyle. Come prepared to buy inspirations more than once, to be patient, and to play as a team. Thanks!

Because I like to take the downtrodden under my wing?

I have taken note that you are not a player that receives good rewards, I will be inviting you to my Leagues more often ;D

Thanks all for the effort. I will try again next weekend.

You can also craft Alphas with iTrial rewards now. Look at the recipe tables, might have to scroll down or resize your incarnate window if you don't see the other recipes for Alphas.

I have experienced the same thing Ynaught has, 2 (or more) acids on one portal when your timing is synchronized. The Acid temps are used, but only one portal is disabled.

A good suggestion for the minority that read the forums is to alert your league mates to check for other players near a portal before using the temp. Over time, this information will probably trickle down to the rest of the players.

I'll be sending tells around 9pm EST to see if you're all on. By around 9:30, I'd like to have us out of Trials and other fixed content by then. See you there.

I thought it was an Uncommon for those badges, and a Rare for a MO badge?

No, I don't, I think it's overkill. I do tend to put my Primary/Secondary and what I like to do in search results.

I'm a frequent team former and I do look at search strings in the search results, particularly now that I can resize the window. Sometimes the search term prompts me to send a tell to that person first.

For example, I might put something in a couple global channels about a TF forming, send out a /b in the TF zone, and then limit the search results of my search window to just the map that has the TF in it. When I see a list of results, those with LFA, LFT, LFTF, etc, get priority tells. Also, if I see a relevant search term (like "I like to team" or "Loves TFs", I will usually send them a tell before sending just normal players in the zone.

When I look in /sea results, I want to see the type of stuff they want to do, not what they have. So, for example, a search term with: "GMs/AVs/Raids" or "prefers small teams" or "LF Incarnate stuff" is more meaningful than a string of slots and tiers.

I play primarily on a blaster, so I'm rarely sought out for uber teams based on build alone. I find that I prefer PUGs most of the time anyway. Waiting 15 minutes to start a 30-45 minute TF isn't really much of a "speed" run, as opposed to just forming "first tell first invited" teams and getting on with the business of earning rewards.

Thanks Resident, I put you in as well. Looks like we have 7 with an alternate, so maybe a full team. If others are interested, though, please post. Sometimes someone can't make it.

About the only time I want incarnates for non-iTrials is for MO runs.

I have T3+ for all 4 alphas, T3s for the other slots and some extra T1-2s in those slots as well. At some point, my few incarnates will probably have T4s for every aspect of every slot. There's just nothing else to do with the incarnate salvage.

Can you imagine a status like this?:
Fortunata/Widow 50+3 A(all T4), D(T4 age, clarion, T3 rebirth, T1 barrier), I(.............), L(.............), J (.............), LF incarnate trials, badges, fun!

Thanks, I updated the list with you two.

I use "b" for /toggle incarnate and "lctrl+b" for /toggle salvage. I find both to be relatively useful around Trial time when checking reward tables.

Thanks, put you in there as well. Two Rad/Sonics and a Widow provide some nice Res/Def buffs and good debuffs. I had a mind/sonic that I liked a lot. Shaping up to be a good run, I'm looking forward to it.

Thanks, I updated the list.

thanks

As an aside, does anyone know if /i or /li accept multiple arguments, like:
/i player 1, player 2, player 3? I never tried that before.

That would be noice.

Welcome back. Now that you have Going Rogue, you can bring a Brute to either red or blueside as well as a Scrapper. Scrappers get Criticals and Brutes get Fury. In general, I would think Brutes are a bit more survivable.

Scrappers get Spines, though, which is nice for PBAoE.

I agree that starting a new character might be nice, but with only 30 mins or so day to play, you will be missing out on a lot. Instead, you might wanna work on that Fire/Rad Troller.

At L41, you can choose Psionic Mastery pool, which gives you Indomitable Will (360 base recharge, 90 sec duration). That power gives you Resistance to Disorient, Hold, Sleep, and Fear (not Confuse or Immobilize, but still pretty good).

You might wanna check the forums for player guides on it. If you get to the incarnate content, you can also get the Clarion incarnate power, which gives mez protection (but that's a bit into your future).

As others said, paragonwiki.com is a great resource, you can start by searching things like "Issue 20". Look for the earliest issue where you left and then go forward. Some of it will be useful, some not. There's a whole lot of new stuff, though, and you may want to get up to speed on a lot of it. Ouroboros is a great place to revisit content at a solo pace.

That's what I assumed it would be, and I tried it and didn't work. I don't remember what the System or Error messages were, but that might've been because there were none that appeared. Those are usually shuffled away in other chat tabs, though. I think there's a certain state someone can be in where they don't even show up as "this user is offline" or something, cause I felt like it was going into a black hole. Then again, I don't remember seeing a syntax error either.

I'll try again this evening.

Is there a command line for League invites?

I notice that as a League or Team leader, I can use /i to fill spots on my team, but I was hoping there's also a command to invite someone to a league. This comes in handy sometimes, for example when someone sends you a tell to invite someone but their name is not in the /sea window or in a chat.

If my team is full, I can move someone to another team then give a /i, but I figure there's some command line too.

It would be kinda funny and sad to see half a Hami or MS raid disappear when the queue's start filling up and people suddenly zone out to a trial.

It seems kinda silly to me that we had a system that awarded incarnate rewards, including: 2 alignment specific TFs on each side, 2 old coop TFs, 2 new coop TFs, Vanguard Merit conversions, and any 47+ content all for one slot, Alpha.

And then a new system for 4-5 slots that narrows us down to the 2 new coop TFs, and the 2 new Trials, with conversion options.

That seems to me to be a tiny amount of content to gate us through. I suspect these Trials will be avoided once new ones come out, primarily because people will be burned out on them and tired of the cutscenes. And we'll devour the new trials and avoid them too. At some point, maybe, we'll be able to look back, reflect, and choose what's the most popular. Unless the others are significantly harder for less or equal rewards, I'm guessing people will migrate away from these two choices.

I like both Trials, though. I like the additional choices, the slightly different decisions implied to complete the trials, hopping GMs, ambushes that you can see running toward you, mini-tasks, temp powers, and new maps. I just hope they can keep churning out some new ones pretty quickly.

Maybe they could add an option in 45-50 TFs, something like: Incarnate difficulty and allow it to drop threads but make the TFs noticeably harder (say by increasing the level of enemies to 54, etc)

Thanks, I thought I checked, but couldn't get detailed powers on their powers.

Meaning, I saw something like:
+Resistance
+Ally Heal
+Attack

etc, but couldn't open them up or click them. I'll check this evening when I can log on.

I was also hoping maybe someone copied the list out and has detailed power info on the powers the pets have. Again, if that's the pwiki links, cool. I haven't made a Lore yet, so can't compare, but was curious.
