I'll bring a character with tactics, maybe assault too.
I can rock double Leadership with my Bane. I'll bring that.

I'll bring Player One. With my handsome Canadian smile. And some team inspirations, I guess.
Edit: Okay, I PLAN to be there. I do have to do some work this weekend, so hopefully I will be done before then.
Thank you, Champion.
Unfortunately I have a wedding to go to this Sunday and I'll be at SDCC next week so I'm gonna miss out.

Got my emp respecked into Leadership, stocked up on Ultimates so I can help a few people out, and everything's ready to go.
And if you're not willing/able to respec/buy inspirations/switch to Hero (well, it's a bit late for that last one anyway), don't worry too much; I think we'll have enough people who can to make the difference.
See you all tomorrow in Pocket D.
Unexpectedly, a friend rolled into town and I'm fairly obligated to see'em before they have to take off. I may need to bow out. Will update as necessary.

Congrats to everyone who earned The Really Hard Way badge today! Looked like we might have been stalled around 20% for a while but we managed to push though and succeed.
Excellent work everyone. Special thanks to Placta for hosting!

A job well done. Pulling him into the flatlands made me nervous, but it all worked out, and well!

@Ukase
Thanks to Placta for hosting, and to everyone involved!
Congratulations folks!
Thank you, Champion.
Grats and thanks to everyone who came out. That was fantastic.
Still didn't get Triple Threat, but as they say, a RHW in the hand is worth TT/MoMagi in the bush.
Besides, gives me a reason to go again next week, right? 
Grats again.
Edit: Oh, and for those who had to miss, I'm sure this won't be the last RHW I ever do. Soon™.

Credit goes to Amy for that idea. He ended up back in the bowl by the end, but I think it helped a lot when he was up on the flat.

I thought it was a good strategy. On the round before, I kept getting tied up in the stone ruins in the centre when trying to evade the Flow Lightning and it kept breaking line of sight when trying to fire on the return to him. |

I noticed Lore pets shuffling around trying to get LOS as well.
Thank you, Champion.

That's basically what I noticed too. Between the spikes and the ruins, moving in and out quickly enough was becoming a chore and LoS was an issue at times. I think the flatlands would work better with a dedicated taunter. We could probably keep him positioned there more effectively.

Same basic deal as last week. I'm planning 2-3 runs:
- Triple Threat + practice
- The Really Hard Way
- Ready to Rumble, if we didn't get it during the previous attempt (time and interest permitting)
"Practice" on the first run means we'll be practicing our strategy for Tyrant without Ultimates. In particular, we'll be practicing getting out of melee range before the Zeus Lightning hits so we can pick right back up after it spawns.Requirements and other considerations:
- Must be 50+3 and have completed the trial.
- Must have Hybrid unlocked and slotted.
- Must have six Ultimate inspirations*. For the rest of your inspiration slots, have reds and/or greens, or see below.
- Preferred Incarnate abilities; if you can switch to one of these, please do:
- Alpha and Judgement: Any.
- Interface: Any with damage procs (Cognitive, Degenerative, Preemptive, Reactive, or Spectral).
- Destiny: Barrier, Rebirth; Ageless.
- Lore: Cimerorans, WarWorks, Phantoms, IDF. Higher DPS is better. Core path preferred.
- Hybrid: Assault, Support.
- New this week! The main thing I'd like to try to change this week is buffing Lore pets, particularly their tohit and damage to offset the fact that they're not affected by Ultimates. Some suggestions (I'm not going to require any of this, but the more of it we have, the better off we'll be):
- Assault and Tactics from Leadership
- Call to Justice, the hero alignment power
- Team inspirations
Please sign up below if you're interested, or send me a tell or e-mail in-game.This will be Sunday, July 8. 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.
* Ultimates can be purchased from WW/BM, or for 2 Astral Merits from Astral Christy in Ouroboros.
