what server are you on? no one on my server (Triumph) has ever asked for what slots we had, or even required a lvl shift from alpha.

The only content that requires an Incarnate boost is the Apex and Tin Mage TFs. Those people were probably jerks and you should be glad you didn't team with them.

1. Normal leaders
2. Jerks/Psuedo Leaders just being selective unnecessarily
3. Vet Leaders with real game knowledge from experience.
Every now and then I run across Jerks on all the servers but I had this happen twice in one weekend. I wasted a lot of time this weekend crafting and waiting in LFG queue. This game is getting more complex and I need to think ahead. The things that happened this weekend put this issue to the top of the list.
Don't wait in the LFG queue. Go to a coop zone (RWZ is probably the most popular) and get in a pre-formed.
Incidentally, I will echo that you got some jerks. No one should care whether you've got anything slotted; nothing in the game is impossible without X, Y, or Z slotted. Freedom has a higher population of jerks since it has a higher population of everything. It shouldn't bother you; if it does, that is not their fault, it is your fault.

here is your problem. the only reason i could see to reasonably exclude non-slotted players is if they were trying to do a master run, and even then, they are never necessary. i realize how upsetting it must be, but i'm sure there are many many team that would take you, regardless of your iSlotting.

Surprised was more my reaction. I don't take it personal. I just want to find a better way to provide incarnate slotting information. |

I got jerked a lot this weekend :-)

Just a few comments about this. How do you start the trials without the LFG? I saw Prometheus in Ouro but you can't start it there can you? Where are the trial contacts?|

Also, I thought Pocket D was the spot. Where in the RWZ? The LFG is useful because I could do other things while waiting and then get sent back to my previous location when I was done. I could do/setup for the WST and the Trials :-) and not have to move 1 step.
you can form a league first and then the leader will use the LFG tab to port everyone into the trial at once. as long as your league is the minimum size for the selected trial, it will start as soon as everyone accepts entry.

When I advertise myself for anything I refuse to list anything beyond my level and AT. Thats all any good leader needs and if someone wants more than that then it is unlikely that its someone I'd want to team with anyway.
I have seen very long adverts like, "50 (+3) A4,J3,D3,I2,L3 MA/Elec scrapper lf such and such" This is absolutely ridiculous. When I build a team I have no use for all that info, I was just looking for damge....I don't need your your in game life story.
Only exception would be Apex and Tin since you need the Alpha slotted but even then I see no reason to list or demand any of the other slots.
First off... those guys are either idiots, or jerks.. possibly both. Be glad you didn't team up with them, because you probably would have not had fun anyway.
Secondly, There's no need to advertise your incarnate slotting outside of "/b lvl 50+2 scrapper lf trial". Even then you don't need to include your level. I never do, I just say 'scrapper lf BAF' or whatever.
Thirdly, like was said before, don't wait in the Queue. The few times I've done this, I got on half filled leagues that were mostly through the trial, and were failing miserably. Pre-formed leagues are the way to go. On Virtue, RWZ, Cim, Midnighters Club, Pocket D and Imperial City usually have people in them recruiting for the trials. Not to mention global channels. Obviously different servers will be different, but there are better ways than the LFG Queue. Just make sure if you get anymore idiots/jerks like that, that you 1 star them, and add a player note so if you run across 'em again, you can just avoid 'em.
Lastly, while I haven't done it myself, starting up the trials is rather simple. Form your league, once you've got enough people, THEN you enter the Queue, and that'll get you going. There is no contact for these two trials.
Any questions? No? Good, shoo! /b scrapper LF Lambda!

Maybe I'll just progress like this:
-Alpha, J, L, D, & I Slotted(as I get them)
-Alpha, J, L, D, I, H, M, G, & V Slotted(As I get them)
-Omega Slotted(as I get it them)
and leave it at this.
Another question. When does the Level changes come? I've done the level shifts but I'd like my searches to say 51, 52, 53 and 54 when I get them.

Do not waste your time. Really. Just say I'm looking for a BAF or Lam. That all. Good players will take you. The rest will miss out on having you on the team.

Absolutely this. Yes the trials are hard, particularly Lambda. You don't need to be slotted out to the max for them however... talk about a chicken/egg thing there if you did... what you need is a group of competent players.|

Teams that insist on you having _x_ are generally not worth playing on. The exception to this would be the Tin Mage/Apex TF's where you need to have SOMETHING slotted in the Alpha slot or suffer the -4 level debuff. Even then a good team just wants players with something in that slot; they don't really worry about what it is.

I not the expert in this game but every 10 games/tfs/sfs or so, I usually run across someone who really knows this game in and out.
I know we are getting these slots for a reason. I think one day we'll get trials that will force us to change during play. I'm trying to get ready for that. The experience this weekend just made me reflect.
Hi Guys,
I have been using iscrapper or itroller et cetera just to show that I have some Incarnate powers without going into long details.
Well it is good enough for pods/phones/tunes so my humble scrappie feels in good company
I have had comments but not one was about what it meant! Everybody had worked it out np.
It is about as eccentric as I get at my age.
cheers.

Wow! I'm amazed people would do this. I've been playing both on Freedom and Triumph and have not seen the like. And it seems like a lot of work for you to have to advertise yourself in such away - especially as the info will probably change as you advance your incarnate slots. Hope you have better luck!

Hi,
on Virtue there is a League Leader that uses the Midnighters club room. Easy to get to and definately not interfering with anything else.

on Justice Pocket D seems the most popular, after that is RWZ. though one group I ran with sunday went to Studio 55 in praetoria

I warned that this would happen. No doubt as consensus chooses the clear "best" option for each slot, we'll be seeing a lot more of this behavior. Ain't raiding grand?

Yeah, its stupid really, considering how little of the new stuff requires "ideal" incarnate builds yet.

And it's even more retarded considering how none of the old content (ITF and LGTF for example) require anything incarnate related.|

Thankfully, I haven't run into any of this nonsense on Virtue yet. So far, I've had my level 50 Warshade do a Lambda and a BAF, and she had not even had her Alpha unlocked at the time, and then this past weekend, my partner and I managed to easily get our AR/Traps Corruptors on 2 ITFs in one day. Not only dis they not have any incarnate stuff unlocked, they weren't even close to 50 in the first place. (I think they were 37 or 38 at the time.)

.....are jackholes.
If someone told me I needed to have a tier 4 Judgement slotted in order to run a frigging ITF with them, I'd tell them where to go and put them on my ignore list immediately.
