It failed, sure; but not so badly. We ran out of time is all. People were making mistakes, and were learning from them, too. Most of our second team was new to the trial.

Some of the directions weren't as clear as you might have thought. For instance, at first, you told team two to go to the training facility; then to the rear elevators -- the team got mixed up, and you snipped about listening. Then, what in heck is an 'add'? I knew what you meant, and the tank did, but not everyone did.

Leadership is hard, and you deserve a lot of credit for all the great stuff you did too -- too numerous to list, IMO. Failed on the timer, yes, but succeeded at having a lot of fun, and getting a lot of new people an experience on the Lambda Trial.

Thanks!

I do apologize, my post last night was just a rant because we were so close.

Personally, I'm going to blame Victoria MK. VII or whatever that little tarts name is.

I hate Vicki's.

This. It really was a lot of fun. =)

And my wife, who ended up with her stalker on the other league, gets to gloat about having a badge I don't have for at least a day or two!

During the successful Lambda trial, all I had was my alpha slotted with a rare. I still just have that... no IO sets... yet. Soon, since I have a ton of merits and a VMerit...

Though we failed the Lambda trial, I was still able to unlock my judgement slot as well as get 2/3 of the common components for the tier 1 void judgement attack. If we completed Lambda, I would have had it. But hey, beggers can't be choosers and we can always run the trials again today for even more threads/iexp.


Characters!:
Pinny - Scrapper
Shadewing - Defender

Me too!
Except for the "soon" bit... as I don't plan on changing my enhancements and am not sure how long it'll take me to get some new Incarnate Shtuff (Although, one Notice Of The Well, and I think I might have enough for my Very Rare Musculature)!

You can tell I'm a casual player. I take a very slow approach to the game. Doesn't matter how long it takes for me to get all my IOs and Incarnate powers, it'll happen eventually...

Though I'm growing impatient with only having one 50. I like to play a variety of characters, but with all the Incarnate Trial teams around, it means I've got significantly worse odds of getting a team with my other characters (the highest of which is 26.)

Indeed, I've been tempted by the dread AE farming. I have not given in, however!

...I should lay off the coffee and tea. Too much caffeine in me right now. I feel like my brain is vibrating. I'LL SHOW YOU WHO'S TOP DOG, MAURA...

But again, people did their own thing. I said don't pacify Marauder until we cleared the adds - so someone pacified Marauder while we were still clearing adds. I said don't do it again until we've cleared the adds; so they pacified him right away.

Just venting, that's all. I led to 2 successful Lambdas yesterday, no big deal, it's just frustrating when you're so close, you're doing so well, and it completely falls apart because people don't listen.

/end rant.

P.S.: And I use a general "people" instead of specifically blaming people. It was a team effort.
Had this happen earlier as well. We get ready to head out the door and I said, "Ok when we do engage Mar after..." get done talking and click on the door to come out the other end, someone already engages him.

The time limit needs to be deducted if you clear out the cannisters and crates, it's bogus otherwise.
