Behold


Gotta thank Jack (on his ill/cold Lost in the Mist) for pwning enough that this was possible and then of course all the fillers that helped us start it up
I got uncommon. >.<

Lolz Douing Lambda and still only getting a crappy uncommon.


Infinity and Victory mostly
dUmb, etc.
lolz PvP anymore, Market PvP for fun and profit

Extremely impressive. An uncommon reward is amusing.

That is spectacular, nice work!

Thank you everyone at Paragon and on Virtue. When the lights go out in November, you'll find me on Razor Bunny.

Grats!

Greatest irony of the iTrials : at certain hours of the day (non-US times, basically), it can take longer to form a team to launch the damn thing and do it as a league that it would be to just duo/solo it, assuming you could start right away.

Obviously neither of you participated enough to earn a higher reward!

Thanks guys

Yeah, getting even the 6 fillers we needed likely took as long as the trial. But we ended up doing it at the worst possible time, it wasn’t all that planned. Not only was there a scheduled mother ship raid forming on our server but quite a few people were off on the training room with the devs.

You know, at least this proves the new system is WAI, and you both got random rewards after getting to the minimum participation level. Otherwise, I think you both would have gotten R/VR.

I wouldn't have thought that possible. Kudos.

Nice job! Still need to try and do this myself with a friend, it wasn't possible until the latest patch.

I was going to ask why it wasn't possible then I realized that they had to fix the check on minimum number of alive teamates for this to be possible.

To Ultrawatt congrats! I see 3 level shift insp in the tray. Did you need to use any during the event?

Oh, I did not know that actually. Glad we didnt try before than.

I bought 10 (5 for me 5 for jack) i think we each ended up using one. Didn't really need to though since we still had 11min left when we killed AV and neither of us even got close to death. Glowies went A LOT smoother than i though it would as well.

Also, some more screens

Nice. I can't see doing it myself, but nice!

If you've only played an AT once (one set combo) and "hate" it - don't give up. Roll a different combo. It may just be those sets not clicking for you.

Yeah, tried it once before with a Blaster and Corruptor, but it automatically failed just before we finished destroying the turrets.

I think we need some more difficult trials now.

Haha, that must have sucked.

I agree, lambda is only hard when you don't know wtf to do.

Pretty true of everything in the game. I recall when people said the ITF was hard.

I am willing to bet that we have as a player base mastered these trials quicker than they had anticipated.

I remember for almost a year i had a 50/50 success rate with the ITF haha. That’s before I figured out IOs though. >.<

Yeah, it's likely this was supposed to stay hard for more than a few days... *crosses fingers* lets hope keyes island reactor (is that what its called?) is hard. Of course, maybe lambda/baf didn’t stay hard for very long because of the grind factor. Instead of running one every day or so a large number of the player base was running the trials back to back to back to back....so we all mastered it within a few hours rather than a few weeks. Hell, it was months until i was able to do apex (even tin) without dying but I've already done that on a few lambdas and most of the Bafs I’ve run. Of course, ilvl shifts don’t help make it hard either.

Hmm, before now i kind of liked how you could just do these over and over and over and then have rare in everything in a few days (Vrare if you are lucky). Or if you wanted just one of each every day, but who actually did that? But maybe that isn’t such a good idea because it causes the content to become old and stale way too quickly.

Heh, just kidding. Congratz on the epic moment of win!

I have to say, I was honestly amazed at the difference in difficulty between the first couple days of I20 and like a week later.

First couple days, I did probably 15 trials, and none were even close to success. Same with my friends that I talked to. I figured it was just impossible to do one without a PERFECT team.

Literally less than a week later, it was suddenly almost impossible to fail a trial. You'd need half the team to be braindead to fail.

I agree...it's very doubtful that they intended this. I definitely think they did NOT anticipate us owning the trials so quickly. Hopefully the next trials and TF's will be actually challenging. And by that I mean challenging for more than one week.

How am I just seeing this? This is awesome and makes me smile. I am curious though, will the +level INSP put you over +3 in a trial? If so....nice. I'm using these.

Annnnndddd what do your macros do?
