Master of Magisterium - Sunday, June 24

The patch for the level shifts from the Lights in the final battle is on beta as of last Thursday, so I'm hoping it'll work its way to the live servers this week. Even if it doesn't, I think we can pull it off.

I'm planning to do two runs:
• First: Triple Threat + The Hard Way
• Second: Ready to Rumble

I've never seen a league allow Black Swan to have four open Shadow Rifts, let alone six, so I'm going to assume we'll get Shadow Master both times. (And I figure most people will have it anyway.) More runs may be added as necessary, time and interest permitting.

I'm not planning on trying for The Really Hard Way this week, but I could be persuaded to go for it after the other badges are done.

Requirements:
• All participants must be 50+3 and have experience with the Tyrant fight in the trial.
• If we do The Really Hard Way, all participants for that run must also have a Hybrid ability equipped and have six Ultimate inspirations (available for two Astral Merits each from Astral Christy in Ouroboros).

Sign up below if you're interested, or send me a tell or e-mail in-game. If you already have the badges (or don't care about them), please let me know so I can give priority to those who need/want them.

This will be Sunday, June 24. I'll start forming in Pocket D at 3:00 PM EDT and launch when we fill. I'll hold reserved spots until 3:30 EDT.

Already have the badges but will be there to assist. Will give up my spot if needed.

Like the above have the badges, but, would like to bring a Kin def this time and will make room if needed.

I will try to be there for this, but again, can't guarantee my presence. Stupid real life.

Do not hold a spot for me, I will try to be in contact with you, Placta, later on this week to confirm!

Edit: If I am there, it'll be on Player One (fire/cold corr)

Thank you, Champion.

need this on my main but cant be sure ill be able to get on but will try dont hold past 3 though for me.dont want to hold up league .main is purple manwolf ma/sr scrapper

Sounds good to me, I'll be there with my badger.

I'll bring Zube for some blastage.

Should we load up on Ultimate inspirations like in Amy's run? Or anything else?

ReDorothy wants a slot also. Please and thank you.

Good luck to all of you guys! Birthday in a few days, so won't be able to help out.

Happy pre-B-day Sov

count me in please.

Fire/Fire Blaster - Tier 1 Judgment (Vorpal), Tier 3 Destiny(Clarion), Tier 3 Lore (Longbow), Tier 3 Alpha (Musculature), Tier 1 Hybrid (Melee) which i hope to have tier 3 by sunday.

Thanks!

I'll be there with my rad/rad defender, if there's still room. (Or, if you need anything else, let me know.)

I would like to join with my main, fiery phoenix, granted I can get enough astrals for the ultimates in a day. Are they available on the market?

Bought some Ultimates from the black market. All set for tomorrow.

I would like to be there for the badges.
I will be bringing Meltdown (Rad/Rad Corrupter 50 +3 with Hybrid)
I would like to get all the badges for the Masters badge.

This is tomorrow. Again, I'll be in Pocket D at about 3:00 PM EDT to start forming, and hold spots until 3:30. Right now there's about 10 spots open, so there's plenty of room for last-minute signups and/or people to show up in Pocket D.

See you all then.

Logging in and heading to Pocket D to start forming.

I'm counting that as a win.

First run, Pendragon popped his shield at JUST the wrong time so we missed out on Triple Threat. And going for The Hard Way like a normal run only hyper-efficient didn't work out.

Second run, we nailed Ready to Rumble with 30 seconds to spare. (And that's with me crashing while fighting the IDF in the beginning). And I still think we should have had The Hard Way; someone hit a light at the start of the fight, but I'm pretty sure we only hit 5 the first time.

Third run we tried for The Really Hard Way; it didn't work out, but we managed to salvage The Hard Way out of it.

Oh, and we got Shadow Master all three times.

So to recap: 3x Shadow Master, 1x Ready to Rumble, 1x The Hard Way, very close to Triple Threat and a second Hard Way.

And, for future reference:
• The most important thing for The Really Hard Way is keeping up damage through the Zeus Lightning. Gather on Tyrant between Lightnings, back away when the air crackles around him (big red warning, plus people shouting in league chat), make sure the area around Tyrant is clear of lightning, move back in, rinse/repeat.
• When you're planning to ignore the lights at the start, if you have any thoughts of picking them up midtrial (even as a contingency plan), it's particularly important to assign people to the lights so that you're not hoping the right number of people will hit the lights. I didn't do this, I'll know better for next week.
• Lore pets persist through a crash.

Thanks to everybody who came out and grats on badges. Planning to go again next week, samish time and place. I'll get a thread up by Tuesday. Hopefully they'll have the Light/level shift bug fixed by then – I can't imagine why they wouldn't, but that's what I said last week, too.

Overall it was fun, a great league o' players, and you did a great job leading.

The biggest disappointment was Triple Threat, when Nega Pendragon popped his shield at the exact instant we stated taking them down. Just bad luck, but still kinda a bummer.

Regardless, thanks Champions for the new badges and a fun Sunday afternoon!

Sorry I had to leave after the first run, but RL called.

Great work getting The Hard Way, Ready to Rumble and Shadow Master. We were pretty close to Triple Threat on the first run. As others have said, it was unlucky timing that we missed it. I have no doubts we'll nail this one next time around.

Great job leading, Placta, and thanks for hosting. I will try to make it next time.
