Masque, if you still have that character's name, can you PM it to me? When I start leading these things that is NOT someone I want on my team.


Arc# 92382 -- "The S.P.I.D.E.R. and the Tyrant" -- Ninjas! Robots! Praetorians! It's totally epic! Play it now!

Arc # 316340 -- "Husk" -- Azuria loses something, a young woman harbors a dark secret, and the fate of the world is in your hands.

By doing the outside then the courtyard then jumping back to do the guns, I bet you confused some of the players who have run this a lot. Intuitively it makes more sense to work in rings from the outside then inwards: outside-> guns-> courtyard.
Sounds like you yanks would get very confused on Union then we always do Outside-> Courtyard->Guns. Just...because, I guess *shrugs* I guess it makes sense for us to go Ground floor and then up, since the towers are higher.

I'm starting to wonder if I was in this league last night (my toon was Kimber Lee Luster, a Brute)

See, after clearing the courtyard, I completely forgot about the turrets (this, despite having run Lambda a couple dozens times). I entered the door to fight security team (1 other toon followed me in). We were both fighting the EB (and actually denting his HT a bit), and I was starting to get pissed wondering where the heck the rest of the League is.

Finally, it dawned on me that I wasn't up there bashing turrets *sigh*. I figured it didn't matter by now, so I kept fight the EB and eventually the rest of the league showed up and joined in - I'm not sure anyone even missed me (and maybe I was in Brute-lock because I didn't notice any tells like in the OP, assuming I was indeed in this league)

I know there was some issues with the teams and grenade/acid gathering but I was too busy running through the halls and smashing crates and perhaps didn't catch a lot of the league chatter. (I normally do, and again this may have not been the same league...but the similiarities are eerie)

Outside, Indeed, someone made Marauder come over to the Acid container, but I can swear I at least didn't do that one haha...

So, if that was me in your league going to fight security team in too early...uhm...sorry, just a total brain furt. If not your league, then whoever's it was...sorry again |)

I was on this one with you, but I am pretty it was a different one.

It is not Rocket science. If people don't understand the basics of aggro in the game by lvl 50, then they deserve to be on my ignore list.

If the Gate/Door is open:
a. if you are outside the courtyard, don't aggro any mobs inside.
b. if youa re inside and have aggro, die with your boots on. DOn't run out the gate.

I have seen Maurader come to the areas of the Acid/Gernades many time when trying to get more. Too many times to think someone aggroes him. More like his aggro is link to every mob that spawns in the courtyard.

If I find the idiot you cannot find the Acid in his temp powers, he/she will not be on another run with me.

Most of the people I team with, I have known in game for a little while, there are a few new faces here and there.

I am sure they put this in to stop people from trying to pull him out and around the outside to get the master badges.
It was put in to stop me.

In pre-Beta, I pulled him over the wall and none of the adds followed. There, beat up Marauder without worrying about the extras. The Devs promptly made that a YOU FAIL! condition.

Don't be paranoid. People really can be that disconnected with the league, especially when they're coordinating with their own little sub-group on teamspeak.

Unless you're on Justice, in which case everyone is always coordinated, or abruptly not on the trial any longer.


61866 - A Series of Unfortunate Kidnappings - More than a coincidence?
2260 - The Burning of Hearts - A green-eyed monster holds the match.
379248 - The Spider Without Fangs - NEW - Some lessons learned (more or less.)

I don't know why, but the mental picture of a "little sub-group" that is "coordinating with themselves on teamspeak" that fails to listen to the league leaders in a trial and jeopardizes it for the entire league actually makes me even less likely to feel sympathetic than the idea this was deliberate griefing.

I am trying to figure how how that is really any different than deliberate griefing.
