I was "I Wanna Rock You"... Beef and I trial a lot together.... he is one of the best league leaders out there. I tend to Co-Lead trials I am on more than lead nowadays hehe.
This takes my total now to 72 Mags with 5 losses (those were all on day 1-2 hehe)
When the fix goes live I am sure we will be doing even more MoMag runs

Yes I am not trying to take credit away from Beef, BUT..we are winning basically due to the lvl shift thing, nothing else. That second run I did..the league make up was pretty darn awful..and he dropped very very easily.

Sure.. Once they fix the light bug. Important thing is just to have players who can follow directions. Overall the Mag is one of my favorite trials.

It'd be kinda funny if the most proper runs were being done on Freedom, while all the other servers were just farming the start

Just need people to do what leader(s) ask and things tend to run smooth. I truly enjoy trialing with Beef....I think in all the trials we have done together... we have never had a fail. Part of that IMO is because we are vocal with instructions....I have seen many trials fail due to poor leadership. I think; especially with the older trials, leaders tend to think "Oh we have done this 100 times I will just let people do their thing" which can be disastrous to say the least hehehe.

seems to have gotten away from the Mag farms as much and is running more full Mags than farms.On my Earth/Kin Troller "I Wanna Rock You" (who was with MisterD) on these two runs.... I have never did a Mag Farm. 4 Full Mags and I unlocked Hybrid. Got exactly 25% from each Mag.

Does..not..compute *head asplodes*
3/3 for today. This is just silly. He is SO much easier. Makes me wonder if they slipped a stealth nerf to his regen in with that patch.

It's just a lot of people go with 24...and that is what they are used to...which makes it so much more difficult (that and the plethora of pets).

16/no pets is definitely easier, but 24 no pets is still very manageable. It just takes a little longer.
It's going to be so much easier when the various pets can get back into the fray. Yes, even the Mastermind ones.

Just ran another on Freedom with a group of people (Beef and Co.) who have been doing a few.
To anyone still working out tactics..
Key points are:
16 Man teams. To work around the stupid bugged level shifts.
NO lore pets, or any pets, during the last fight. You would have thought that having 24 boss lore pets would be a LOT of dps..but apparently not.
That is basically it. He went down SO easy compared to all my 24 man runs..it was not even funny. We also had a LOT of melee, not huge on debuffs, lights some times being left up a long time..etc etc. Just did ANOTHER run..totally utterly easy. It was an even less 'suitable' team..no debuffs, to much melee, many first timers.
If anything, seeing how easy it was when ran this way..is MORE annoying to me. Seems we got punished for trying full runs with lores (you know, lore, the very slot you need for the damn trial). Also, his regen seems to scale from 'please, im a precious tyrant' with 16 people, to 'ha, im an uber haxzor' with 24.
Don't get me wrong, I am totally happy that teams (especially ones IM on) are finishing it. Just a little sad it is not due to some genius tactics or good players..but due to a work around for a stupid bug..that punishes teams who simply try to do the logical thing (ie, more people, pets helping).
When the Lights and level shifts ARE fixed..I am thinking 24 + pets, all shifted are going to make him one of the easiest trail AVs to kill.
