Hi guys

I got this badge during the first successful Union Hamidon raid, with Blademan, when I accidentally hit autorun during the first stage of killing/arresting mitos - level 50s should know better.

I actually survived it which was lucky.

I didn't want to wait for the next raid to get this badge, with my scrapper Death Kiss, so I went into the Hive, got the Time Bandit badge and headed off towards the big guy. I then superjumped right into the middle of the big globule and straight into hospital, badgeless and shame faced.

I did manage to uncover the map a bit and it showed the location of the badge though. (vidiotmaps)

Just wanted to check with you badge hunting experts as to whether any of you have obtained your badge this way, is it worth me trying to drop in on the guy again and see if I can land on the badge location or should I wait for the next raid ?

Any advice will be appreciated.

I did it with Phase Shift, Super Speed and Unstoppable on my Scrapper... died, but it doesn't matter

I got it on my defender the normal way.

I know a controller that got in there with no help, just dropped all his pets (ill)

I would like to organise a PP hunt and a fake nem hunt, as these are the last ingredients i need for the accolades. Any thoughts?

There are some good PP missions, just try to look for people with them.

I hunted for most of my Fakes in PI.

I'm hoping to pick up the corrupter mish-set and some PP missions in pretty short order with my scrapper, Satisfaction (lvl 32, as per sig). Currently Neal <whateverhisnameis> is giving me the Freak arc that he has, so after that I guess I will be posting about the corrupter badge.

I have the mission just prior to the Kronos Titan (90min instanced mish, not outside spawn) on Tech Tower. If we can scrape together an 8-toon team to complete the mission (taking the Kronos last, so people don't leave after the badge and leave me with an incredibly hard 8-toon spawn clearing ), then anyone needing that badge can give me a yell, probably tomorrow (Thursday 11th May).

Shrug.

I have the defeat Devore (name?) carnies AV on my 'other' 50, and don't mind if people want to farm that for illusionists. But they are same level spawn, so would be a pain in the neck. Hopefully I'll get some lower level carny missions and help out with that one. Farming off level 45 master illusionists is a bit easier, really.

I went in phase shifted to get this one, cos if I remember rightly invis doesn't work...

You might be able to TP to the spot, but expect to be taken out instantly again.. haha.

Is there an SG out there that is based around badge collecting? I have a character, Badge Hunter that I would like to get in a badge collecting SG if I can...

a quick patrol mission in Warburg will give you a phase shift temp power(if phase shift works)

The way I done it though was just to fly very high over Hami, check coordinates with /loc and vidiotmaps then just switch fly off when I was in the right spot

Haha, he did that just to annoy me. I run in, die twice and finally get the badge. Then Choron swans in, pets take the aggro, he grabs it, leaves.

allrighty, we got a problem
i'm overbooked !

before i came checking here again, i only had 1 spot left
and now scorpioman, Nefarious and Belgaroth want a spot too ...

i already set the time & date tho
2nite (that's thursday) at 7pm (UK time)

i'm gonna implement the "first come, first served" rule
altho u can't really "come" to the mission, cuz it's a train mission

so far the ones that got a spot are:
EMI, MBar, Electronuts, c0rporal punishment (whatever the spelling ), Lord Amber, St-Flame and me (Shades)

How about inviting your team, and then letting one of them quit team and invite the rest?

I believe that everyone inside the mission at the end will recieve the badge (as long as everyone comes in right at the start, usual rules), and having like 12 people in the mish can only make it more likely to be pulled off right?

Shrug.


 

Posted

hmmm... no... I don't think so.

No, I'm pretty sure that's not right tbh.
Just have a competition, whoever sucks up to you the most can go in.


 

Posted

Let's say it does work, then everyone who comes in gets the badge.
And if it doesn't work, only the secondary team doesnt get the badge.
And if it does work, and only 8 are invited, then you miss out on people getting the bage when they could have...

Do you have anything to base your 'it doesn't work' on? I know that you can have mutliple teams inside a mission at the same time with this method. I just have never used it so have no idea if the end benefits are given to all memebers of all the teams, or if it is just one team which is randomly chosen, which seems odd to me.

I'd try it, unless someone has tried it in the past and can confirm it definitely won't work.

Even then I might still try it

Shrug.

well, we did the mission yesterday with 1 spot open
some ppl weren't on at 7.20pm, so we decided to start !

my WS is lvl 31, that's in range of the contact
so in theory i can get the mission(s) again
i only have to get the ... some day ...


 

Posted

My lvl27 brute has a Tsoo paper mish. Is this worth hanging onto for sorcerer farming? If it is, is there an optimum difficulty/team size that should be set.


Now @Eskimo-Spy

I'm not evil.

 

Posted

there are also some tsoo mishes given out by your contacts in 30-40 range, so dunno if its worth farming

Don't sorcerers only count if they're under a certain level or have they done away with that now?


Now @Eskimo-Spy

I'm not evil.

 

Posted

I have the train mission that gives the "Frontline" badge.
Levels 38-40 I would guess, but I haven't entered the mission to test it.

I'd like to do this tomorrow at about 21:00hrs GMT.
All are welcome.

Global Cat is @Roentgen Storm

Can't make 9... I'd want to come as my Second Scrapper.

Could possibly be there about... 7-ish? Don't wait up for me though.


 

Posted

I never managed to log on last night.

You'll be very welcome tonight though.

I am currently lvl 19 Rad/Rad def and have been having trouble with people dropping out half way through TF's. On Saturday we had a team of 6 breezing through Positron when all of a sudden people had levelled and no longer getting XP so quit, which then lead to the rest of the team quitting and leaving me standing around on my own. Then yesterday I was off work and had a /tell asdking if I was up for a TF so I replied yes quickly and was invited, there was 8 of us standing around in Skyway (Synapse TF is it?) for about 10 minutes while people enhanced etc. When everyone had arrived we started and instantly 3 left cos they then realised they would get no xp. This was fine as we were doing well without them. 3 missions in and I look down to my team window and watched 5 turn to 4, to 3 to 2 and then once again, me.

I'm sure it ain't me doing anything wrong cos everyone seems to state how useful rad/rad is...

Are there a few people on here that would be up for a TF this evening?

I am up for either Positron or Synapse (If this is the one in Skyway), and if possible I wouldn't mind doing the Cavern of Transcendance trial as i've been posting a request for this for a while now but nobody seems to have it...

I'll be online from about 6ish this evening as Badge Hunter and my global is @J Dogg. If there isn't enough interest then gimme a shout if there are any other badges going this evening as i'm getting more and more badge hungry every day!

Happy hunting people!

It's a pity I have hardly had a chance to catch ya in game dude.

I have a level 19 blaster/blapper that is up for everything, but never manage to know anyone in decent level ranges, so gimme a shout sometime and I'll join ya for Posi or Synapse, but posi might have to be split a bit. Could duo it with no sweat, if we got some fillins.

Cavern of Transcendance: Skull Bender (my controller) runs this occasionally. If I've got a free 20mins I'll bring him on and put you through it. My record is a tad under 10mins (not including teamfinding time ), and averages running it in 20mins or so. There are loads who want this and loads who don't mind helping out. Most of my SG has this badge just due to me yelling for some fillins. Course the XP is nice for them when only 14 too

I'm still needing to get your toons into my SG J Dogg! . I'm guessing by now you've found a new SG to join though, gimme a yell if you've got any free chars that you would like to join us still.

Catch ya'll.

Thanks dude, I have my W/S and Dogg back in my old SG. They formed a new one while I was away because it had gotten a bit out of hand, which was a shame..

I still have a few toons though that I play that I was hoping to get in if it's still cool..

Are you gonna be on tonight bud? I'm locking my bedroom door tonight and putting a sign on the door saying "bugger off i'm busy!" haha, I live with 4 guys and there is always a house full lately and people wandering in interrupting me! Damn social life.. grrrr

I'll be on about 6:30ish mate and may be able to grab a couple of peeps from Archie's.

Also, if you're creating an SG on Defiant i've got those 2 low lvl toons from the other night that would love to join...


 

Posted

Hrm, I don't think I'm going to be around for most of this evening or tomorrow, doh.

Most likely quite late if I do come on, things to see, people to do, all that jazz

Thats call about your WS and scrapper, we have a WS and a couple of scrappers already so no biggie . But yeah yell out if your other toons want to meet some of my lot, you should get along well I think.

Will catch up with ya eventually

Not sure about our defiant toons, lol. They were just for play since I had never tried a broadsword scrapper, and we're not sure how far we'll bother taking them (it's just myself and Blademan/Death Kiss who started them) since our current SG would be a little miffed if we got too far before letting them join in with us... lol.

They defo won't be oft played, but if that's cool with you, then yeah we'll go ahead and do so.

Oh, the weirdest thing, totally! We're very nearly level 10, I believe. And we have had absolutely no SG invites. None. Noones asked if we want in (mostly because we don't team much there) and noones blind invited us. I think our plan was to keep duoing (or trioing if you come along etc) and see how far we get bafore one pops up, and then we can make one... I'd post my one's name, but I don't want someone here to blind sg invite him just to ruin it . We'll see what happens. You know his name though, and I would have thought it great enough to be blind invited a load! lol.

Contrast that with Atlas on Union. Wow, is defiant less spammy? Hmm..
