And what's 'efficient' to one person might not be the fastest or easiest way. For example, when I was getting the RV Pillboxes I actually defeated them - and only the neutral ones. This took a lot longer but the rewards were huge, especially on double XP weekends. Killing two birds with one stone made it efficient.

I run Keyes badge runs 2x a night. So far I haven't done the hide a player or stay in HOS trick. I repeat it and eventually we all get in sync and after a few days we get the badges. I have gotten LaC and AtGS half a dozen times so far with everyone out in the fight and not hiding. It is a challenge, but the mian thing is consistency with players and practice. I think as long as we have fun and don't give up its all good!

Perception does not affect a critter's ability to target a foe. If the critter is "aware" of the target in the sense of it existing on its aggro list at all, and the power the critter wants to use is in range, and no object blocks line of sight, the power will work even if the target lies outside the critter's perception radius.

This is true for all critters, and not just Antimatter.

After 20 attempts, we isolated the "Green Stuff" badge and started sending people away from the area.

After a few frustrating weeks, I've stopped leading badge groups for Keyes (not last weekend, probably not this weekend) for a bit. I'll resume later though. Even when I resume, I'm going to ask most of the league to stay away from the AM fight. I'll probably ask some people to play decoy outside, and ask a few people to stay in the Hospital.

I'll not try for both LaC and AtGS in the same run, not with the teams I can get.

Oddly enough, I got the "Loves a Challenge" badge the first time I ran it with a group. No idea how we pulled that one off, it was just after the trial was introduced. Perhaps we were really focused, as we didn't know what to expect and were on our "A" game.

On the other hand, "Avoids the Green Stuff" seems to be nearly impossible to get, as there's always one dipstick that can't listen to instructions and turn off fly powers, or gets scrapper-lock, or any number of reasons. Honestly, this badge isn't hard to get, you just have to pay attention to your surroundings and, well, pay attention to those big red letters saying "OBLITERATION BEAM FIRING!"

Bunker Buster has also been a problem to get, as someone keeps attacking after they've been told to stop.Otherwise, I don't think it's a difficult badge. "Anti Anti-Matter" doesn'tsound difficult to get, but finding people that are willing to stick it out it the tough part.

Congrats you two

Edit:

I will agree that these badges are very easy to 'grief' a league...and act like you weren't trying to.

Well, the core group + PUG Keyes on Triumph has finally got some players the MoKeyes.

This group got "Loves a Challenge" tonight.



The somewhat core group: White Succubus (myself), -Michael, War Witch, Lady Arcana, Caravan, Blondeshell, HotPepper, and Scarlet Evans.

We did 1 badge per run over almost 30 runs. Anywhere between 3-9 Keyes every weekend (split between Saturday and Sunday nights).

This particular set of runs we had only team 1 attacking Anti-Matter. Team 2 had hospital duty, with HotPepper calling out AM's health & obliteration beam times. Team 3's only duty was to heal anyone disintegrating or getting hurt and to NOT attack AM.

We didn't restrict people from flying, though those flying did so fairly low. Without the full league, it was easier to see the obliteration beam (though some players did get caught in it).

Edit:
There are a number of people I've done some of these badges with since the beginning of August, I intend to keep doing Keyes badge runs until they get the badges as well.
