Really Hard Way Mgisterium Badge Attempt, Tuesday 12th of June, 8pm Eastern
Best of luck, GL. Was holding off on offering my assistance because my part time job has had a flaky schedule over the last couple weeks, and sure enough, I got called in to work tomorrow from 6 to 9.
(If you're ever trying for a run when I'm available, though, just say the word and I'll be there with my Fire/Kin.)

Hrm, was just coming to check in... I take it from Morbid's post that things didn't go so well?

This didn't succeed? How do it go down?
Agua Man lvl 48 Water/Electric Blaster

First run: someone used quills.
Second run, GL disconnected and couldn't get back in. Successful run.
Third run: someone once again used quills.

Not entirely sure someone used quills on the 3rd run; someone made a gaspy comment but it was right after MP got murderized at the start of the fight. The Wells remained at 6 during that time. I don't know. And after someone mentioned that a Quill had been used, GL quit? Or got DC'd again. Trust me when I say I know a thing or two about sheer frustration with setting up badge runs and things going haywire.|

That 3rd run wasn't going to go off successfully without some quills IMO and was surprised we got away with the regular Hard Way badge. We had a lot of switching and lost a lot "useful" Lore pets IMO; I know I came back with a debuffer but she only had Seers and I saw a few other sets of Seers out there as well. Maybe it could have been done, but it didn't seem like it.
As for the first run, I can't imagine someone intentionally did it, but who knows. If I was trying to set this up, I can certainly see it being intentional and more than one person doing it right off the bat
But that's my paranoia......
I've already forgotten about most of you

I didn't make the third run, but the first one there was total shock and disbelief. Not only was a quill used, it was used right off the bat (before we'd even properly engaged Tyrant.) The second attempt went like clockwork (er, not the nutty brain in the jar kind) except for GL's inability to get back in. That's why I wonder about a Gypsy curse.

The quills were used just before the wells came back up. I noticed this because at the time I was targeting an olympian guard, and his con went from orange to yellow and then back to orange. So the temp was used and then the well came back almost instantly, meaning a lot of people missed it.

@Irish.Saint also had the same experience I did (i.e. dc'ing and not being able to get back in on the successful one). Think that bug needs to be fixed fairly sharpish.
Really sorry it didn't work out, GL.

Without the Lore pets stealing level shifts and most of us popping Ultimates, all it takes is a coordinated effort one round to smoke him even with Favor of the Well in play. I got the full +6 shift from the lights during the push to end the fight, so either the MM and trollers got the hint to dismiss their pets or one of Tyrant's AoEs took care of them in a very timely fashion. Great save by MP, and props to all for toughing it out.

Actually we only did one round of the lights, and it was AFTER all of the Lore pets had died/despawned. So the only issue was any controllers or MMs. We took out only 6 total.. maybe 7 if counting the one in the beginning, but I didn't see it.|

Edit- I totally misread what Patient said about Lore pets... so yeah blaming that one on the pregnancy brain.
