Master of Lambda

We just got it on Infinity with Head-Cutter leading it. So pumped! We did received the 3 badges and we collected all grenades and acids but used none.

Grats!

a few successful Mo Lambda runs on Infinity, and we are telling people to get it now before it gets 3x longer.

Without over-simplifying things here (or trivializing anyone's expressed concerns thus far), I think it's quite fair to say that the players don't find the "participation reward" system to be fun. I'm not thrilled with a reward system that doesn't provide even the most basic of transparencies to the end-user. But that's me personally.

If there's any single rule that the Development Team should adhere to, with respect to the continuance of this game, it's that the changes (or even refinements) introduced into the game should be such that allow its players to continue having fun. If that is undermined, well ... that's when subscriptions start leaping headlong into the e-void.

Whew.

Finally got this beast. What a cardio workout. Thanks to @PF, @Maxwell Blast, and all the others on-team for the seriously smooth win!

I just got the badge(s) too tonight As discussed in the Liberty forums topic, two teams/leagues got the MoLambda badges in all one run....so yes...the patch that went live didn't "fix" those badges....so glad I don't have to worry about doing it 3x now.....


Also got the MoLRSF badge today too Up to 1215 total.....

Glad to hear people are getting this badge. My badger, a DB/DA scrapper, has been on five failed attempts and kicked off three more for being S/L, for which I hold no grudge. Looks like it's time to grind up some Seers to at least feel like I'm helping.

I find the Master of Lambda badges to be rather annoying in concept. To get all three badges, there is no difference in tactics, style, or difficulty. Fighting Marauder with only grenades or acids are two completely different fights. The no acids and no grenades badges should be a warm up to the no temp powers fight. Defeating Marauder in exactly the same way is too boring and requires a league to take the right type of powersets and/or incarnate powers. Lambda Looter could be changed so that all twenty temp powers in the warehouse and lab can't be used, but the ones in the courtyard can.

Congrats Nericus


And yes, I think we all agree having to do 3 runs of not using any temp. power is pretty boring...

just did run... well 30min ago...

mo lamb attempt...

Got 10 acid, got 10 nades...

dropped marauder without using either...

2 seconds left on the clock...

and no badges.

petitions sent... sigh... bugged badges are even worse than ones that are night impossible to get

Did you make sure not to blow up any of the caches/chambers in the outside courtyard? If one of those blows up during the Marauder fight you won't get any badges.


Plus, like it's been said, technically you're only supposed to get Lambda Looter when you get both acids and grenades and not all badges.

I was on the run with Saber, and we did indeed avoid attacking the Chambers and Crates outside while also not using the temps provided. I've resigned myself to accept that our attempt should have only awarded us Lambda Looter, but we did not even get *that* badge.

Although it certainly would seem repetitive to run it multiple times to meet the requirements for Antacid and Well Stocked, I accept that such is the current requirement. I'm just stumped as to why we weren't awarded Lambda Looter at least, but i'm glad our mostly PUG crew managed to take Marauder down anyway.

I'm very curious as to what might be causing Lambda Looter to not reward.

To those who either SHOULD have gotten it and didn't, or DID actually get rewarded with it: Did your league trade around any of the temporary powers, or simply keep them wherever they fell? Also, were any of your league disconnected somewhere between the start of collecting the temporary powers and the end of defeating Marauder?

Just to update everyone on what the GM Team has informed me of:

"I can confirm that an 11th Molecular Acid was collected after the 10 that were collected in the early part of the trial, much later than the 10th one.

I'm not able to identify who did this, as the action might well have been by accident and not out of malice.

If there's anything else, please let us know."

It would appear as if an additional Exterior Molecular Acid Container was destroyed later in the fight. This could possibly have been the result of AOEs and placement as a portion of our battle took place near the corner where the Molecular Acid Containers spawn. Someone may have accidentally done the damage at that point.

This would indicate the importance of pulling Marauder *away* from that area in order to avoid AOE damage destroying the Container nearby. This presents at least a more palatable explanation for our failure than some anonymous bug. Besides, another team on another server was able to obtain all related Temp Collection/Disuse Badges during one run after the latest patch.

So it goes. Onwards to the next attempt.

Just came over to report the same update from my petition. Strikes me as rather bizarre. Looking at the badge requirements I find myself baffled on the breakdown, three templess marauder fights for three different badges, wha?. Am I alone in thinking that that's kind of silly?
