Glacier Peak

There was a poster from a while back, maybe 2019ish who described how to get those tricky two arena badges. Since the arena interface is so buggy, it helped a lot.

I used to rely on the 'on paper build' I spent hours creating in MIDs only for it to turn out to be a terrible 'playing build.' I would actually spend all my influence buying the right IOs and sets and then respec and then test it out on the live shards. I've since learned of the cool MIDs export to game tool by xhiggy that takes what you've built in MIDs and export it to the beta so that you can actually test out your build before investing the time and effort in to your live character.

I did this mission three times before I got the badge, but it's certainly doable. I haven't experienced that during the runs I did, it was mostly related to not finding them all in time.

I'm convinced that there are lots of players who want access to NPC costume pieces. What I'm not convinced of is that there is enough volunteer time and effort available to make it happen, only for that hard work to be accessible only in one way. Like you said though, to create the exclusivity, it would need to be less accessible. I was so excited when I first logged on to Homecoming and every costume piece was already unlocked. That's coming from a player who has slowly collected nearly every badge and finished every story arc red, gold, and blue side. Playing is the reward for me and I'm not convinced that points would make the reward better.

I'll reserve final judgement until the idea is more developed. I'm on the fence at the moment though because of what has been suggested the points could be spent on. As long as anything that is purchased with said points is also available any other way, then that's acceptable to me. If there is anything that's only accessible using this method, that's a no for me.

Reminds me of Brianiac. Swell colors!

Clearly

There's a lot of that stuff on other servers, or so I've heard.

I multi-boxed for the Tournament Victor and Pentad Victor, if I remember correctly. The rest I set up with other badgers at the time. The player defeat badges were obtained the old fashioned way and I enjoyed doing so.

Haha the beer not spilling was the funniest part

It is a shame I don't like scary movies or T.V. shows, I'm sure there is great content out there to consume like @VileTerror pointed to recently, it is just too much for me. Jump scares are fine and a part of the genre, but the stuff that gets inside your brain and stays with you, then you go to sleep, ah man no thanks pass for me lol

Oh man that is my next character - Bifurcator, dual blades Scrapper!

Pulling a few enemies away from each other so the buff doesn't apply helps too.

Goosebumps!

I think it's safe though, as they fall on separate dates, 10/16 & 10/17.

Where is this event they are discussing? The link was to an event in February. Edit: Ah now I see, after actually clicking the link lol 😆. Yeah that's probably an oversight, good catch!

I appreciate the attempt! I'll keep my fingers crossed for a sighting in the future.

But what?

Ha same here!

Praetorians can enter the zone through the use of the TUNNEL System, through the Long Range Teleporter during the event or through the Pocket D manhole on the western edge of the Magisterium neighborhood at (-3975.4, 33.9, -196.3) and then through the van on the Hero side.

Please do this again this year!!!

The big group you want is directly behind the spawn point for new characters in Mercy, up the ramp past the P2W vendor and to the right, over by Dollface lady. Sometimes there are groups of three sometimes all six are there. And you want the +Max HP on auto cast while on a strikeforce or Ouro mission so you don't get logged out afk.

I'd say copying is one thing, artistic expression that's influenced by separate work is another.

There is not currently.

FOMO fear of missing out, auto power ensures misses on the enemy.
