More people are leaving the server than are coming to the server. |

1) We're talking about incarnate trials, not task forces. 2) For every player on a task force, there is one less player for a trial. 3) You could be talking about a year ago, not in the last month. You just said before a 2XP weekend. |

Freedom's Badge community is fairly active. one of the big badgers (Yat-Man) had a badge a palooza over the weekend , for the MOMAG badges and a couple of others. I was holding regular keyes/ player's choice incarnate trials until I24 beta came out.
I mean, you could always try another server and see how the water's test for you.
I'm sure different folks have different experiences with server populations and the amount of time/effort to form an iTrial.
My very first character was on Liberty - and then I went to Triumph, and then to Infinity in some ridiculous effort to get a 50 on every server. (And then like a crazy person, I used a lot of transfer tokens after CoH:Freedom to bring them all to one - and then transferred some off to make more room.
I know that on Liberty and Champion there are multiple global channels -private and public - that certainly assist in forming trials - but - outside of prime time and the weekends, it rarely happens - at least on the channels I monitor when I'm on. (not saying it doesn't - just that I don't see mention of them)
I had a fully functioning base on Liberty, where I played most of the time. But, after a struggle during prime time to form something up, I decided to test the waters on other servers. If Triumph can't get the job done due to lack of people, transfer your toon - and quickly make an alt by the same name on Triumph server so you can keep the name when you transfer back. There's no shame in it.
I know you have your reasons for not doing so - and that's fine. I just figured I'd let you know that the lights are on for you on many servers. They'd all be lucky to have you.

I'm going to get a XXX/kin corruptor levelled up on Freedom to transfer to help you get the badges SnowGlobe. What kind do you think would help the most? If I'm getting more than one what are you lacking on Triumph that we can bring over?
You've done enough for the badging community I think the least I can do is get a toon PL'ed and to +3 to help you get these badges. And yes I have them all on Freedom as I was in with Yat Man and am the person who first posted that it would take tons of corruptors to do TRHW because of scourge (I only knew because I've actually honestly levelled 4 corruptors to 50).

Thank you for your offer, but the realist in me tells me that you would likely be the only corrupter that would be attending. At most, I might convince 2-3 more to show up, and that is iffy at best. Having said that, I would welcome anyone willing to help. Triumph's next run will be on Sept 2nd. If I'm convinced that people are at least trying, I'll likely be starting them on a weekly basis again.
Even beyond that, I suspect that I -will- have to wait for new incarnate slots to show up for the remaining magi badges. What I'm really hoping (stubbornly) for is that I can somehow get the people on my server to act like a team and not as a collection of people running amok.
What I really hope for is cross-server incarnate trials so that nobody would have to be dependent on just one server's population to run this content.

And if you're going Sonic Blast/ Kinetics for a pairing, then go for a Kinetics/Sonic Defender, for the stronger -resist attached to the defender's blasts. All that said though, I personally find that if I'm playing my Kinetics Defender on a trial then I don't really have too much time to blast, as I'm too busy making sure that SB is up to date, ID is applied too, Fulcrum's being used whenever it's recharged, and that I'm hitting Transference and Transfusion regularly too... All that and dodging various patches o' doom means blasting time is limited... Just my 0.02inf and YMMV, of course |

You can't really tell how much one individual is contributing when you've got 24 people beating on Cole.
I wonder if we could put together a 'roadshow' to travel from server to server to get the Really Hard Way badge for people. Getting a new corr to 50 would be easy enough but that's a lot of iTrials to get tier 3 across the board. I certainly have enough transfers, though. I think I've used two and I bought some when they were 90% off, so I think I have 16 left. |

Of course if the issue you're trying to resolve is a lack of corruptors on the league, then go Corruptor, Sonic Blast on a Corruptor still provides a very nice league damage buff on a single hard target, just not quite as much as a Defender.
As always, this game to me boils down to 'play what the hell you want to' |
The issue about the badges just became moot. 
Transfer to Freedom and come get them with us the "easy" way Snow. Or don't given whats happened.
I guess Bimble will never get 1400 badges now
