I have done the BAF 3 times and Lambda trial twice. All were unsuccessful but I almost have the judgment and destiny slots unlocked.
Haven't tried new content yet.
Ended up on Taalan's ITF run. Had a good time. Our tank was a bit of an "issue." But we did manage to finish and some people hit 50. So all in all a fun and productive night.
Finally pulled off the Lambda Sector trial.
Full team of 16; about 6 tanks, and one beatdown later.
I came out of it with both my Interface and Destiny slotted, thanks to the previously failed attempts. Now it's time to try the BAF trial....

We did the Lambda Trial, got almost to Marauder, and the server went down!
We were doing quite well for a first effort, so about 10 minutes later when the server came back up we tried again, with most of the same people in our 2 team league.
And we beat it!
Still kind of amazed, we must have had a great team because it wasn't nearly as hard as I expected.
Still, I expect to fail a few times so I can have a few slices of 'humble pie'. 
With all the toons I'm doing incarnate stuff for, I expect to become quite familiar with Lambda and BAF.
Hope to see you there!
Eh, I'm doing alright.
My Stories
Look at that. A full-grown woman pulling off pigtails. Her crazy is off the charts.
Checking out the destroyer in IP. I think that they need to add some sailors as NPCs.
Of course I had to jump up on the gun barrel and have a Cher moment.
2 sorta failed Lamba attempts: On tuesday was on a run that was about to start the first timed stage when the entire server crashed, wasn't in the mood to wait for the league to reform when it came back up, went and did an ITF instead. Today I got on a second league that failed at the same spot due to the boot bug - we reformed the league right away and went back in and ran a completely successfull lamba - even got all 20 temp powers in the first timed section so I got all 3 astral merits. Now at about 79% of my interface slot on Crimson Mystique.
Also did a Sutter TF first thing tuesday morning with Mistress Andromache and ran the Kal SF just tonight. I liked them both although I think the Mortimer Kal SF shortchanges everyone but the leader - there is a lot of dialog with NPC's in the missions and the other team members only see the NPC's replies, which is likely to make it a lot less fun for them. The Admiral Sutter TF is a blast though - I love the ships in the first mission and the destroyed skyway landscape in the second, I was disappointed when it ended and I had to go back to the normal skyway - it looked MUCH better in the TF :-).
I am looking forward to doing Hami raids with the new league interface though - it should make things a lot easier to coordinate.

I did the 2 new task forces back to back on day one of i20. Loved both of them, though I thought the hero one had more of an "epic" ending.
I am not happy at all with the new queue system, though I hear it is not working right.
The first Lambda I was on fell apart very quickly, so first impression was not a good one.
However last night ran a 2nd lambda and it was completed, very intense, and very fun.
I feel that the cost to convert is way to high, but I did it any ways, spent close to 500 million and 200+ shards just unlocking the new slots, I have not bothered actually slotting them yet. I was only able to unlock the first two, now at 35% on Lore and 98% on the other, probably will waste a thread when servers are back up to finish that one off.
Looking forward to attempting BAF.
I haven't run any of the new content - not even Tin Mage, or Apex. Looking forward to this weekend and the hopes that I get left alone long enough to do one or two of them! Puppy aggro is a terrible thing. A terrible, wiggly, lickey, nibbley, waggley thing.
To do the new trials do you have to have the +1 level shift? I haven't gotten that yet on Nylonus. (Damm lowbe alts demanding all my attention.) I am also not in a huge hurry to get it done. I figure that I can wait until the tactics get perfected then I can be just dragged along as dead weight. It's worked for 50 levels so far.
Haven't touched the new trials on Live yet. Wasn't exactly enamored of them on Beta either. Unfortunately it's either grind the trials or spend the next year getting my next four slots opened and populated.
Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.
Im sorry to those who enjoy it,but i think its all Garbage. Sorry. Im happy just leveling to 50 and stopping (more or less),and farming. =-D

P.S. - Thank you Juicy'Fruit for letting me use vengeance on your corpse. I appreciate your sacrifice.
Oh...and please, save me a few slices of that pie.

No, you don't have to have a level shift - you don't even have to have your alpha slot open, you just need to be L50. There is no penalty imposed on non-incarnates like there is in the Apex and Tin mage TF's. |

If you don't have the alpha open your incarnate XP will go towards opening it first, before the new slots.

Did a successful Lambda with Santa last night. Took a while to get up and running, and was a challenge, but we succeeded. With seconds to spare even.
79% to unlocking interface after two failed Lambda's. Of course, this is on my Triumph 50 who's been getting almost all of my incarnate attention. I may have to get my act into gear over here where I hear the successful runs are happening...
Also, closer to my first purple Alpha. 14 shards to go...
...One day, there will be an Incarnate Captain Squirrel. Just 25 levels to go...
After three attempts, I've had one successful Lambda Raid (with Santa Laws; the one Red mentioned earlier).
My Main Scrapper is currently at 99% for Interface. Everything (and all of my other characters) are still lagging.
My Stories
Look at that. A full-grown woman pulling off pigtails. Her crazy is off the charts.
I've failed Lam four times, had fun on the first three.
The forth time did that "team boot" bug. I don't mind losing, but that bug can just spoil a good mood.
Already unlocked and made an interface enhancement, though what I really want is destiny.
New content is fun!
Failed BAF on Tuesday, failed 3 Lambda's on Wednesday and finaly won the 4th (all four were 8 person team), also unlocked interface. Biggest plus of all is the merciful time limit which puts an underpowered/unprepared team out of their misery. Both trials are fun,but Lambda gets the nod for being easier to start with just 8 people.
I was a little disappointed that the LFG button was being ignored for setting up BAF on Wednesday (it was being used for the Lambda's on Thursday). I kind of like the randomness it introduces.
Any try the two new TFs?
How do you like the trials so far?
At least there's lots of pretty new things to earn - astral merits, empyrean merits, rainbowy threads, and... my 50 is earning XP again (sorta!)
