Apocalypse Badges - Red Side

Been away for a week, and heading out of town again tomorrow. I'll be back next Sunday and I would like to get the new badges on my main Villain. I managed to get them on my hero, but seems like everyone must already have them on their villains, no one is around.

Would anyone be interested in trying to get these badges on either Sunday night, say around 9PM EST, or on Monday around 8PM EST?

That's November 8/9th, right? I'd be able to do either day as all of my vils still need the badge.

I could probably do it on the 9th (the Monday night), though that is a little far out to know for sure. I usually play on Monday nights, though, so it should hopefully be okay.

I was on a banner team/raid that failed to destroy the very last banner when it had about 1/8 of its health left, or something like that... it was quite depressing. Having a good team setup at the start will help make sure that doesn't happen again. I think my Stalker also needs Jack in Irons (he doesn't seem to like to spawn redside, or at least in my experience). ToT badges, too, but I don't know that I worry about those too much. I still need to unlock my patron with him, and he's part of the way through 40.

Tried to get banners twice on Saturday night but failed. Travel distance hurt us as it took a minute to group around the first banner. Grandville was the worst with the ups and downs. SS had a devil of a time.

I probably won't be around at that time but if I am, count me in on a team. (even if I have the badges since I know how much harder they are to get red side.)

If I'm redside, look me up. I infinitely prefer Deadly Apocalypse over Zombie Invasion but people seem to be more eager to fight the zombies, sadly.

I can be on both of those times to assist you with getting the badges. While I have already taken care of them on my Villains, I understand how difficult it can be to get teams together Redside for Events.

OK, just got back in town. I'll shoot for Monday Night, 11/9 around 8PM EST then. I'll look for you in the Victory Global Channells that I monitor - VB, VF, VB2009.

Yeah, I know, Monday night football...eh, I'm a hockey guy.

Hope to see enough for at least 3 or 4 teams!

Cool, see you then. No issues for me with Monday Night Football. I've kind of fallen from being interested in sports in the past 5 years. They just don't hold the interest they used to, and I have a lot of other things I like to keep track of.

I've noticed that people still try to make banner teams happen on both sides, so even if we just have a team or two going, we should be able to pick up enough to get the job done. After that, it's easy enough to ToT, etc. with just one team.

The trick is to have a team ready BEFORE the banners start. A lot of people are still trying to get teams but it'll be at the last minute with only a few people showing up.

That's what I meant. If we start with a solid crew, picking up a few more will get the job done. My big banner attempt had one team formed pretty much when the enemies started spawning (so we had two at each banner). It took far too long for other people to join in, however. By the time we got the numbers, it wasn't enough: we ran out of time when the last banner was 95% dead.

And with that, I started up the team from scratch when the event was announced in Cap. If we start out with more, I think we can do it, especially if we draw in more from the channels, etc.

I just logged in, going to start announcing in the global channels...hope to see some of you.

Thanks to Grey Pilgrim, Zamuel and everyone else that came out and earned the new badges red side, I appreciate it!

Yup, it was fun. Kind of annoying that the first one failed, but it worked out okay since we picked up the GM in Cap right afterwards as well. I picked up all the ToT badges except for the last two costume ones (I think I'm at 22... they and the Halloween salvage just do not want to fall for my villain) as well.

We moved on to trying to get Jack in Irons to spawn in Sharkhead (working with about 2 other teams... there were a lot of villains on last night), but we kept getting Eochai instead. I think I picked up 14 easy merits doing it, which was nice, but I'm still annoyed that I didn't get Jack. Oh well.

Thanks for putting things together, it was fun.

After the end of the official event. Players can spawn a deadly apocalypse the same way they can spawn a zombie invasion.

When a player turns in a complete set of Halloween salvage to Hannah or Granny Bedlam there is a 50% chance that one of them will occur in a random zone. If an apocalypse is spawned it is a 50/50 chance that it will either a banner or zombie event.


Let me do a searchfu and find the post.

@Grey Pilgrim - Sorry I didn't make it back on for ToT...I fell asleep while "watching" the Steeler game.

@Zamuel - If I'm available when you plan to try it, I'll tag along and help. I got the badges on my 1 Hero and 1 Villain badger, so I can bring along any buff/debuff/damage you may need. I have Rad, Kin, Dark, Emp, /FF, and /Rad 50s heroside, and a /Therm 50, /Traps 43 villainside, and also a 50 blaster and a 50 brute if damage is needed.

for all the good it's done us the last two nights, i'll be on again Midnyte.

Alright, sort of planning this for Thanksgiving Day starting at 9:30 PM EST. Hopefully that's not too late for the fellow East Coasters yet late enough for those on the West Coast to be available. I'll try to tighten things up the closer we get to it. I guess we'll meet in Cap near the SG portal and then plan from there as I go turn in the salvage. I will probably be on a lowbie so someone with a lvl 50 will have to be the actual team leader. Also, if anyone's interested we could run a Virgil afterwards since Bat-Zul = giant turkey :P

Yeah if we get zombies, my lvl 43 Stalker has the salvage available too. I actually think I have 3 toons worth and three or four toons lacking costume slots. Though I wanted to spring a banner later in the year so I hope we don't only get stuck with only zombies.

Tonight is the night. I hope all you villains are ready for the excitement!
