We're getting the band back together!

Next attempt... Friday, 7/22/2011 @ 8pm EST.

We'll start with "Avoids the Green Stuff", then once we've earned that we'll finish it off with "Anti Anti-Matter" and possibly "Bunker Buster".

I'm not planning on running "Loves A Challenge" at this point... don't want to add another 5+ hours to this again.

Sweet I will be there with bells on! Literally... bells... so if you hear loud annoying noises every time I talk in vent, yeah bells.

I'm planning on being there Friday as usual.

Hopefully I'll get the Avoids the Green Stuff and Anti Anti Matter.

As for Loves a Challenge, we'll see what happens there.

Hopefully work won't get in the way again and I can join up this Friday.

If there is room I may be able to make it. It depends on whether or not my wife lets me wear the pants in the family today.

In a word... WOW.

When I woke up yesterday I was NOT planning on running any MoKeyes attempts again just out of pure frustration from the night before. However, I knew that Nephila had this Saturday and then he'd be without an account so I felt that if we hit critical mass with the team we've been running with, I'd pull the trigger and organize a couple of short attempts.

Didn't get the first one, or the second one, but something felt good about the attempts then... wasn't out of whack like it had been the night before; we were in a zone. The attempts were going by quickly too, which is always nice when you do more than one.

Then as we had 2 terminals left on the final reactor, one of our members (Nephila) who had been on EVERY attempt I've lead crashed and said he'd need to restart. I called for us to stall (standard operating procedure for us by now) so he could get back in. Then he tries logging in and cannot. It tells him that his account has expired. (Neph, I know you might not be able to post to the forums at the moment, but you can read them so I'll put what I've received for my reply in the post below this and will keep you posted.)

So after that we had to move on... wasn't going to do any good waiting when he couldn't get on. Then we earned the Avoids the Green Stuff badge. I felt terrible and filed a petition immediately. 3 of us got the Master of Keyes badge.

We weren't done. As promised I'd run the Anti-AntiMatter badge for those with us that were still missing it to complete the MO. We added a little more firepower and took that down. Piece of cake. Another group got their MO badges.

And now it is time a take a short break from these badges. It's been an intense badging journey and I had a really great time teaming with you guys.

So... I know there are a few out there that are still missing these badges that have actually put good work into getting them. I WILL still help those who need it, but I want to keep it at a reasonable level. Really that means three things: 1) Someone else will need to take the initiative to organize and set these attempts up; Azure Lightstar has volunteered to take the torch for this. 2) I'll set my limit to 2 consecutive attempts. I can't and don't want to do 7 in a row ever again. 3) The team needs to have a realistic shot. This is the most frustrating thing with MO's to me. Groups that are going for a MO that have no shot at getting it. That's just an exercise in frustration.

I'm sorry if those 3 points seem unfair, but keep in mind I've spent well over 40 hours organizing what's been done so far. It can't always fall on my shoulders.

Ending on a positive note... MISSION SUCCESSFUL! MASTER OF KEYES ISLAND!!!

Are these the first MO Keyes badge holders on Guardian? Can someone verify?

Neph, this is what I got back from them for the petition.

Response Via Email (Harris)07/24/2011 12:20 AM Hello **************,

We appreciate your act of petitioning on behalf of your friend. However, we will need to hear from them directly. This is necessary to ensure that we can obtain any internal information that we may need to resolve their issue. Please have your friend email support for assistance.

Thank you for your cooperation,

Regards,
GM Harris

So this might be a little tricky, but you should be able to contact them through the support center or support@ncsoft.com using the email that your account is tied to.

After all the attempts the core group went through, it's understandable that you want to take a bit of a back seat on future runs. I think 2 runs a session is good, especially for the other members of the group that are missing a badge here and there. I will be glad to run these (so as long as I can make it) to ensure that everyone gets that Mo badge. Sharing is caring!

Thank you once again, Omega. Speaking for myself, I had a great time running these with you and all of the teammates that we did it with. Great players make the game experience even better and I can safely say that I had the pleasure of running with in my honest opinion, the best of Guardian.

I look forward to future trials (that aren't as crazy)

Any future MoKeyes attempts I will be there if possible, just let me know when. I am more than willing to help out, I would love to use Cilernan to tank it too. I will bring who ever the team needs though.

This is the response I got from my ticket concerning the run where we felt nobody was caught by the beam. Did anyone hear back if they were the one who was caught?

Quote:
I can confirm from server logs that a character on a team with your character was caught in the Devastation Beam before this petition was filed. This unfortunately made the league ineligible for the Avoids the Green Stuff badge.

You can find more information on this topic on the City of Heroes message boards. You can reach the message board at https://boards.cityofheroes.com. Please contact us if you have any further questions or concerns.

Take care,

That was the same response I got, down to the letter.

Also, like Kargothe, I'll be down for any future attempts on whatever is useful.

Finally, lemme say a huge thank you to Omega for being that voice that says "Yes, we can!" and a thank you for helping me join the "No more badges 'til I21" club.

Even more finally, I'd like to eat some cookies now.

I got the same response too. However, I followed it up with a few more questions for them and here's what I learned.

1) The GM verified that it was not a pet that was caught in the beam.

2) The GM did not say which member was caught. And I think that's the way it should be... no need casting that kind of attention on someone.

I'm looking to start running a few MO-Keyes attempts with Omega's tutorlage.

What day of the week works best for everyone? My schedule is very sketchy at times, but Sunday afternoons tend to work best for me.

Just as a warning. It may take a few additional attempts because we'll most likely have a different group dynamic than with Omega leading. But I'm confident that with a little patience, we will succeed with me at the helm as well.

Fridays, after 8pm Eastern/5pm Pacific are perfect timing.

Saturdays/Sundays/Mondays - I'm in my blackhole of 12-18 hour rotating shifts and crashing between them.

Tuesday/Wednesday - I'm in an unpredictable orbit from wherever my insomnia drops me sleep schedule off.

Thursday Evenings I'm usually on campus. (Atleast through Aug 11th)

Azure,

I will help you help others to get this badge, but I too am in the BURNT OUT club on this trial. I will have a 2 possibly 3 run max that I will subject myself to. If you have a group of players that are not willing to listen, follow instruction and put their egos aside I will bow out. Just not worth the grief!!! I will watch and see when you try to run it. I'm out every 3rd day when i work!
