Teleport beacon for RWZ the last badge

The last badge needed for the Ritiki War Zone is on top the mother ship and there has not been a raid in the past few weeks that I know of on Victory Server. I would like to know is there another way to get that badge or at the least a beacon for RWZ. All the other zones are not that hard to get the beacon why is it so bloody difficult to get that one.
could the Devs make it so you do not need that badge to get the beacon. Get the all but that one!

That woudl kinda be like them making it so you could get head of the hydra without killing the hydra....

I'd like it if they changed hami so you couldn't get his badge unless you beat him...

Nope, no other way that I'm aware of.

I guess MP has been running other stuff (such as Magi Trial) recently, but why not just run one yourself? Pop up on the channels and suggest it during prime time, and see how many are interested. Even better, try running it right after Hami runs, since you'll have a bunch of people already gathered in one place. I'll bet you can get enough to do a Mothership raid easy.

I think it's also worth noting that you don't need that many people to get this badge - you can do a mothership raid with a team 8, provided all are fairly competent. Or even if they're not. Take down all the pylons, jump on the ship and get the badge, and jump off.

I do think it would be more fun to just have a raid - post it in your server section at a time that you know you can make. And make sure you're in sg mode when you get that badge.

/this, ship raids are pretty easy to get together and run, just have to be sure to kill all the pylons <30 min after the first one goes down and then minimal direction once poeple are on the ship

I agree with the "just do a ship raid" sentiment.
They're easy, relatively quick and with a couple competent teams, can result in a slew of Vanguard merits. A "crummy" raid can yield 4-500, a decent raid 600-ish. And a very successful one with a full zone worth of people and massively overlapped Judgements, etc can result in raids of upwards of 1000 VMs.

I finally got the beacon with help from a full league. Thanks to General Lieutenant Who formed the league even during the Hami raid. He ran it twice and I received over a 1000 V-merits each time. I just wish there was an easier way. Maybe we can have Lady Grey give us the mission with a team of 8 we could get there at the end of the mission and get the badge and kill a few EB's along the way.

Actually, a decent team of 8 should be able to get all the Pylons down and hit the badge marker. You might not do so well if you stick around on the ship, but if you get 7 other people who just want the badge or just want to help, fighting stuff on the ship isn't really the goal anyway.

Yes, this is still less ideal than being able to get it on your own like every other teleport beacon, but...

Actually, I've done single-team ship raids. And, while they're not as renumerative as multi-team raids, they're actually quite doable nowadays with Incarnate powers. The last one I did netted me something like 400 VMs. We even got the GM and the 2 merits by abusing league mode and flipping individuals to their own teams for the bombs phase.

Yes, it's important to note that a Mothership Raid does NOT require a big League to complete, a single team of decent players and toons will shred it easily these days.

It's also important to note, in relation the spirit of the OP, that you don't even need to complete a Raid to get the badge in question -- simply take down the shields and go scoop up your badge if nobody is into planting bombs, taking out U'Kon Gr'ai, getting Vanguard Merits, etc. A single team can EASILY do that.

Just issue a challenge to your server to see how few pimped out incarnates can take out pylons. Just post something like this:

"I'm able to take out 11 pylons before they start respawning. I'm wondering if anyone can solo the Mothership?"

And before you know it, ever pylonista will converge on RWZ and start tearing out pylons. Once they're all down, drop into the middle of the bowl and grab the badge.
