Well a few members from my SG have helped about a dozen people get the Master Lambda badge. I must say its a little disappointing now. I think it's a little too easy.
But at least below average teams / leagues can now earn it.

Were the changes for Lambda in today's patch? I can't find patch notes anywhere.

Respectfully, my friend, you think everything is too easy. But then, when you're pretty much the ranking badgeholder for the entire game, ever--why wouldn't you?

And yes, I also always use the patch notes link on the main website. If they aren't there, I don't consider them official.

Well considering unoptimized teams are completing it on Pinnacle, yeah I think its a bit easy now. I think it would've been more of a challenge if the base 30% S / L that had been removed was only actually 15% it would've made it a bit more challenging and still able to be obtain.

I can't say I agree with this statement. Unoptimized teams have been completing Mo* runs for Apex and Tin Mage forever now. Up until the iTrials, they were supposedly the hardest game content. It didn't require a specialized team to complete those.

Now I just need to find a couple of hours (when everyone else is on) to jump on and get these 4 badges.

I think maybe you misunderstood what I was saying. What I was trying to say was that I disagreed that we needed the content in a state which required specialized teams to complete, and that I agree with the change so that non-optimized teams can complete now.|

I cited MoApex and MoTin as examples of "the hardest content in the game" being completed with non-optimized teams. I didn't mean to infer that you needed specialized teams to complete the iTrials.

I agree with Flip here. I think that badge content should be able to be accomplished with a full team that is dedicated to the task, maybe that is geared to have at least 1 of each element (buff, debuff, damage, etc), but not so specified to say that anyone that's not psi dmg or debuff is useless.

Some of the other Mo badges are harder. Unoptimized teams can EASILY get MoApex in a single run. MoTin is a bit harder, but it's also easy if you're willing to do two runs. (Getting Hacker and Midnight Dodger on the same run makes it harder.)
Oh, and I'm talking about when they first came out - prior to all these funky Incarnate powers.

If I'm not mistaken, we had 2 Master Minds and 1 stalker, and I know how people don't like taking them on teams from what I've read in the past...lol

What the hell? Let's buff defenders.
Tactics are for those who do not have a big enough hammer. Wisdom is knowing how big your hammer is.
I think the comparative ease of doing the MO requirements as they stand now is made up for by having to run the thing three times. It seems a fair trade off IMO.

Well I'll chime in again with my "disagree" vote. I've been on about six or seven optimized attempts, and all of them have failed to Mo. Some of them have even utterly failed *after* we gave up and started using grenades.
Perhaps we have different definitions for "optimized." :/

I was there for this one too. I'm not chalking that one into my failed attempts column, but man was that frustrating.

Just got the Lambda Looter badge. That is, running with collecting all 20 temps, using zero. Reading teh text for the other two badges...am I right in thinking that they require two more runs, getting full temps on A, non on B then vice versa...as well as using NONE of the two types in the final battle?
This just seems retarded to me. If you can manage to kill him once without any temps, why the other 2 times, besides making it bloody annoying?
Its like if the Tin Mage badges Army of Neu and Kitty's...suddenly required us to ALSO kill director 11 without tripping a mine.

Unfortunately you are correct. To get the other two badges you need to kill Marauder two more times, not using the temps. Once just getting the Grenades, but no Acids. The other getting the Acids, but no Grenades. Sounds like "So much fun", doesn't it?
