MoLambda baby

I think my biggest frustration with the Lambda badges is that there is no clearly definitive line to us, as players, that we've done something incorrect while in the midst of the trial.

We all believed we'd done everything correctly to achieve at least the Lambda Looter badge, yet we failed according to the powers that be. We still don't have anything concrete from them as to why, other then "you didn't do it right".

Why isn't there some communication in the game that yes "you've done this, so you're still good to go for the badge!" flag or verbiage? All this does is set up Customer service for more headaches with folks trying to sort out what the "HE double toothpicks" happened! It also leaves us feeling like we've been cheated out of things we have felt we've achieved.

The current claim is that our league used a pac grenade at some point.

Hmm... I don't know about you guys but I think at least ONE of us would have noticed the giant "Marauder has been pacified!" text flashing in our face and promptly tried to beat the crap out of the guilty party responsible for dropping the grenade. Even if we didn't notice the glaring text message, we should have seen it get a lot easier to damage him for a little while (which it absolutely didn't). After seeing one of these things, we would have stopped wasting our time trying to get the badges and used the rest of the temp powers to guarantee at least an easy completion.

I mean really... do they think we're that stupid??

Also, I watched the containers every time we were fighting anywhere near one and I never saw one go below half health. However, I have officially given up on CS at this point. If I want to be talked to like a child, I'll call my dad thanks.

You are correct. Marauder was never pacified in our fight with him. Unfortunately we're dealing with a brick wall at the moment.

I'm considering giving it another shot Friday night, before they fix the bug. And then, unless they change the MoLambda requirements, I don't see myself attempting the badges again. Just not worth the headache.

Well, the new "explanation" post is up. Badge requirements are apparently staying as described by CS (and probably still bugged). Lambda will remain far less popular than BAF even with the added Merit for defeating Marauder. My Mastermind will probably continue to avoid the Trials due to participation wonkiness.

At least they're adding down/side conversions for those that get stuck with Uncommons.

I ended up getting my MoLambda last night. Zartain did a nice job leading the league. Nitra, Beerpig were also on the league and I don't recall the other globals, but it was a very good group. Thanks to everyone who helped.

We didn't get it on the first run. Marauder was down to 4% when we ran out of time. The second run through was quite the success. I think we had over 1min to go when we defeated him.

I'd also like to thank the bugged Lambda Looter badge for rewarding the Antacid and Well Stocked badges. I don't plan on actively trying for the MoLambda again once they fix the bug.

I was there on Phrenic Flea, but I wish I had been there on my badger and namesake.

Still, it pretty cool. More a matter of patience and determination than anything . . . kinda like dealing with CS.

So, now it takes 3 no-temp defeats.

This is why every time someone send me the "is it a MoLambda?" tell, i reply "not until the bugs are fixed it isn't".

You potentially encountered 1 bug: you earned well-stocked, but didn't receive the badge. (unless someone gathered one of the additional equipment drops outside in the courtyard, that's not allowed on a badge run).

As for getting the badge for acid only, or the badge for grenade only, you didn't earn those. The devs were pretty clear about the requirements for those, and that the current badge text is misleading.


The antiacid and looter badges are considered to be the more difficult ones, because you have to sweep out all 10 without any time bonus for dual sabotages.

We don't serve your kind here.

Ahhh, glad to see I'm not missing much. on the good side there are so many other games that I actually enjoy playing right now...I thought I had forgotten how to enjoy a game.

It was three times easier to get when it was bugged...

I agree, the bug was way easier than running it 3 seperate times for the Mo badge.
