I vote you make a new thread "Your weekly dose of Voo". 
And just go from there on what the plans are for Tuesday/Wednesday that way you are a little more free what to plan.
I'm down for Tuesday Trials, Glee-permitting.

No one wants another. I'd rather like to see how unwieldly this one can continue to be. Quote:

And it's not like this forum gets a ton of traffic / discussion going on anyway. The privatization of the playing class has really hurt the community

We'll see how this goes. The faster teams are made, the more we can cram in. As of yet have only done BAF once, but several Lambdas, even "leading" a few to victory (Patient might object ). Lambdas have been going about 30 minutes with what I've been doing.
Currently not concerned with the various badges but wanting to build up incarnate l3wt to slot with.
I will be on X minutes before filling from what I can for any empty spots. If you are not ready, on the team, by 830, I will be looking to replace you. I'm flexible regarding which iTrials to run so depends on number of people interested.
I've found it useful to make a macro/bind for finding the CACHE for Lambda; I hate that map and it's clutter so damn much. I even have macros I hope to try out before then as well.
Anyway, if interested, let's get it on.
4/12 - Tuesday - STARTING 830 PM EST - iTrial
1 Me - Scrapper +2
2 Penny
3 John
4 Mental
5 TYCHO!
Since next week is just Sissy P, I'll be doing more iTrials for Wednesday the 13th if interested. Same deal as above.

Ugh, I will be in. RL is hammering me with job stuff. Only done 1 Lambda and 1 BAF on 1 toon. At this rate I may (only) unlock one of the new slots by Easter, let alone slot it.

3 - 4 Lambda runs will unlock Interface, and another 3 - 4 should unlock Destiny via the iXP for Lambda. I imagine it's about the same for BAF, but I think unlocking BAF's stuff goes a little faster. It can go a bit faster if you convert Inf + Shards, but I only did that because I just wanted to unlock them/play with it. I don't recommend it. Completing various objections, defeating mobs, and the reward table will get you stuff to use or hold for whatever it is you are trying to unlock. Thread drops are at an okay-drop level; faster than shards, but you need more threads to make stuff. *shrug* The various powers sure are nifty though.

it will take more than 3-4 runs to unlock destiny since the destiny/lore slots require about twice as much xp to unlock (judgement/interface are 1,500,000 and lore/destiny is 2,250,000 (i think))|

unlocking the slots through thread to xp conversions is a TON faster, so fast in fact i have all 4 slots unlocked on day 1 and i only ran 2 lambda trials total, of course it did cost me around 380 mil inf to do shard to thread and thread to xp conversions
YMMV? Only speaking from experience.

In for VooTrialTuesday until I drop needing sleep.
@JohnP - Victory
I will be absent on Tuesday, but I should be there on Wednesday.

Just an FYI, if you're more in to drops or getting more incarnate xp on BAF, you can try to get more drops in the AV phases. If your team can handle it, you can keep the AVs ticking and drop the adds as they come in: there is a building on the north side of the tennis courts that you can get up against and make this easier.
Got a lot more Incarnate XP in a run when doing this, though of course it does make the trial longer. So if you're just in it for the rewards at the end, it's not as worth it.

Need to unlock Destiny on my Blaster, and if we do BAF I need both of those slots.

I did a BAF the other night where we juggled AV's for about 9 minutes. It was awesome. Confusing the 9CU's really helps!
I went from 22% to 75% on the first slot.

Farming is fine and all, but it depends on raid make-up.
FYI, if you haven't used the feature, a pre-made team can be invited into a league as a whole. It's a nice feature, and for what I'm trying, will be used if necessary.
Raid window is still a bit clunky IMO.

Still trying to get all my 50s level shifted.... Almost seems like an exercise in futility at times to get them all done.
Quote:
I've treated the Incarnate stuff as a filter; I only got Alpha unlocked/slotted on a handful of characters I know I still enjoy playing. I then filtered from there and only got 3T on most of those, but not all. I only did one 4T on a character for the badge and have no interest in it for others.|

With this addition, I'm only working on the badger and won't really be playing others until he's done. Getting 4Ts will be pretty limiting for the time/effort/worth aspects. After him, from the ones Alpha shifted, I will shift to another and focus individually. Remember, Destiny/Lore shifts only apply while in the iTrials so you have to figure how important that is to you.
Any other incarnate additions will be further filtered. YMMV. I don't play a lot but maximize my time and it works for me.
Either way, on topic, I'll be holding a spot for you now and don't you dare disappoint me

I may have to have some harsh words for Admiral Sutter. Getting killed while in a hospital is not cool at all.
I went from "dear god no" to .... alright, that's helpful.

Ok in for tuesday. Will bring something as I have not done either trail yet.
Viking
I was actually in the mood for Psyche but New Posi + Virgil is good. VERY pleased to see the respec trials added in.
Remember that this is an experiment since iTrials are a little different in regard to team forming. Will fill for a Lambda or the team will join an available BAF. Teams may be switched around if joining others for a trial, but can reform afterwards if doing more.

Yeah, yeah. I'll bring my Grav/FF. For what it's worth. He's far more useful for BAF, than for Lambda, but I've got to get the Lambda XP somehow.
Will be bringing the emp def for tonight to get more XP in the last two slots.
Was hoping to get on last night, but work was calling...sigh...
For Wednesday If you are still running after 9, I will look for openings in teams.
The other thing that annoyed me about Kal was Numina and the Soul catcher power; a) I didn't know I had a temp power and was supposed to use it on her. Very well could have been in all the text, but as I said, a lot of text on a group effort just isn't good. I don't want to read a bunch of stuff and have people sitting around (and vice versa if someone else is reading)
). Wednesdays seem far less active as a server as a whole, at least going by Global chatter. So thinking that, for the next few weeks, I plan on using Tuesdays to try to get the two Trials going. Success or failure, getting both done shouldn't be an issue. And Wednesdays will be a misc day; TFs of the week if they don't suck (non 50), TFs of randomness, or another go at iTrials if enough interest/people.
and b) IT DID NOT MATTER. It didn't do, or keep us from doing, anything by not having the power used. Posi went down fast; he wasn't even as tough as he is in the various red 40+ arc he shows up in.
I did enjoy the cutscene part showing the team for once. I should have screen capped that
tl;dr - Will set up for next Tuesday as a sign up for BAF and Lambda and see how it goes. Wednesday will be TFs or more iTrials
In other news, I'm conflicted with the purpose of this thread now due to the iTrials. Especially with next week being a Sissy P weekly (
Going into the iTrials with as many people already set up makes it go a lot smoother. Having done both a whopping 1 time each now, I don't feel all that overwhelmed with "leading" but will gladly differ to someone far more wanting. "Failing" is not a big deal, and once more people get the new slots going, these will be as smooth as any other TF/raid out there. I believe better balanced teams is just as important as the league (god I hate that word) leader informing everyone of what's what. The iTrials really don't require a lot of hand-holding (just like the other raids we have here), just people paying attention and group effort working together within the various timing aspects of the Trials.
