Oct 28th Magisterium Really Hard Way

(Borrowed liberally from Sayaki.)

Hello Triumph,

On October 28, 2012, either myself or Sayaki will be running a Really Hard Way badge attempt for Triumph server. I would like to start the trial at 5pm Pacific/7pm Central/8pm Eastern. I would appreciate it if all participants would please arrive a few minutes early for invites and pre-run instructions.

I am looking for Volunteers for this now, asking that you sign up for a space in the run early if possible. Cross server participants are more than welcome. Extra damage, corruptors, and kinetics will be definitely welcomed. Please keep in mind, that even if you do not care about this badge for yourself, major damage or -resistance abilities are still useful to those who do care about gaining it and a filled team will have a better chance of victory.

The requirements for the badge are as follows:

Defeat Tyrant in the last phase/fight of Magisterium without defeating any of the Lights of the Well.

The lights of the Well can only be defeated by using the temp power: Quills of Jocas. They are one shot by this power, so I must be VERY clear to not use this power in your attack chain.

In order to win this trial, I am seeking several small things from my players. As I am very lenient, do not expect me to enforce all of them, but I do expect you to make an attempt to be ready. Remember, if for some reason, you cannot manage the recommend Incarnate Slots on time, having something is still better than having nothing.

Required:

1. During the trial, play, don't chat. Chatting will get you killed. Chatting will confuse other players and make people less likely to see any instructions I might give.
   Chatting makes my job leading that much harder.
2. Realizing that the above will likely not be completely respected, I will do my best to also send my instructions to the Request channel.
3. Be a +3 lvl incarnate
4. Have a t3 or t4 Core branch Lore pet
5. Have Ultimate Inspirations ready to use. The more the better.
6. Be prepared to listen and follow procedures outlined before and during the trial. I will be checking.
   
7. Expect the Tyrant fight to take the whole 20 minutes. Do not get nervous and jump the gun.

Highly recommended:

• Have either Assault or Support Hybrid
• Assault
• Tactics
• Corruptors

If you wish to Volunteer for this trial, now is the time. As said above, I plan to form this run at 5pm Pacific/7pm Central time on Sunday, October 28. Remember that space is limited, so it is on a first come, first served basis.

Thank you all for your time

Assuming work does not intrude, I should be available.

I'm pretty sure I can be there again.

I've been working on my Corrupter, though I guess the Rad def is still better to have, I don't know. My dual pistols/dark corrupter has everything tier3-ed now, including Hybrid, and he has the Very Rares to tier 4 his Judgement and Lore. He just needs some more incarnate loot to get him there. Now that I have my one Fusioneer toon level 50 and Alpha unlocked, I'm probably not going to bother incarnating him out much, so any time I do spend on CoH between now and Sunday night (and it might not be much) will be on my Corrupter, doing the daily 10-threader for Ephrum Sha and whatever else is available to get him some swag.

i'm still sick and out of town seeing a doctor. I'm out this weekend. Sorry.

Updated.

I will be there, brought my 53 rad/rad defender kSpace two weekends ago, but we did not succeed, so I'll transfer over my 53 cold/sonic defender Zephyrsong who has much better -resist debuffing. No Hybrid on either, unfortunately, but I think she has everything else on your list.

Do you think it makes sense to put this in the TW2 motto of the day for folks who may log in once in awhile but not read the server forum here?

My name is Random, and I'm an alt-aholic.
Main / Badger: Flamesprite - Fire/Fire Blaster - Triumph
Global: @Dynamite Monkey
Way too many alts on Triumph, Virtue, Protector, Champion, and Exalted.

I would love to help and if my events on Guardian are done in time, I could transfer a character if you still need any help. Feel free to message me in-game @Kragothe

Almost forgot to sign in!

Amygdala, while I do appreciate you providing a synopsis of your character, neither Sayaki or myself are that strict. Maybe we should be, but we're not going to ask for it from others.

---

I'll be there.

---

Snow Globe... your signature just made me laugh out loud. Thank you.

---

I'm potentially still involved in another group event at the time that this is scheduled, but if I can swing it, I'll transfer something to help out with this as well. (would be a +3 sonic/thermal corruptor)

I'd much rather see this server pull it off on their home server than need to transfer to get it.

I'm available if you need another. I would like to chat with you in-game so I transfer whatever is the closest fit for the league's needs

Loading back into the game now.

Success!

Thanks everyone for coming out! Great Job, Triumph can finally join the RHW "succeeded" club!

We win.

That's right, Triumph has our first official win for the Really Hard Way badge on October 28, 2012.

When I saw Swan go down in about 65 seconds, I knew this was going to be the one. I didn't video it because my PC was acting up and lagging funny prior to the run but I did demorecord it, so I'll try to get a high quality video of the run uploaded to youtube in a day or so.

Congratz guys! Triumph finally gets on the scoreboard, it was inevitable! Sorry I missed out on this run, hurricane Sandy ran me outta my house on Sunday night, but I'll try to be around if you have any future attempts before this game ends!
