Yeah, I figured folks would probably have this week's badges on their main badger, but I also thought it would help if anyone want to go for the Accolade to have these. You're welcome to bring any character. Funny aside, I actually got these badges solo a while back because I thought it was the same as every other GM encounter. Took a ton of effort and inspiration (from the Auction House) to do so.

See you all on Saturday! Saturday, August 17th - Seed of Hamidon (Germinator Terminator and Full Spectrum): This run will consist of running the Seed of Hamidon zone event in First Ward. No special Archetype or builds are required for this run, bring whomever you would like the badge on! Expect it to take up to 30 minutes. We will meet in First Ward, I'll be there 15 minutes early to start inviting people. These two badges are needed for the new accolade 'Between Realities,' so I figured it would be helpful to anyone who is trying to get that. Badges: Germinator Terminator: Defeated The Seed of Hamidon in First Ward Full Spectrum: Defeat at least one of each of the following type of Seedling during the Seed of Hamidon zone event in First Ward: (Bulwark Seedling, Contaminating Seedling, Hematic Seedling, Maturing Seedling, Respiring Seedling). Note that Tellurian Seedlings and Malignant Seedlings do not count. Sign-Up for Saturday, August 17th - Seed of Hamidon (Germinator Terminator and Full Spectrum) Badge Run: @Glacier Peak Glacier Peak - Ice/Cold Corruptor @FrauleinMental Fraulein Mental - Mind/Kin CTRL @Midnyte Forever Midnight - Night Widow @Burnt Umber TBD Cece Milrop

Rouge Isles Villains Edit: Added the color for effect.

To be clear to everyone, the Hamidon mini pets ARE NOT TARGETABLE. That's why this suggestion is a head scratcher to me. Why take away something from someone who earned it or otherwise acquired the Hamidon mini pet just because you can't be bothered to tab target? Edit: Bind your tab button with the below and we all get to keep using our Hamidon Bud mini-pets. /bind Tab target_custom_next notteammate notmypet

This suggestion sounds like a terrible idea to me and I don't support it then.

I'm not seeing what you're describing in the Rikti attacks you're referring to. They do Energy and Lethal Damage, but what does that have to do with one shotting a player? Are you saying that the damage is dealt consecutively instead of concurrently? https://cod.uberguy.net/html/power.html?power=rikti.rikti_sword.rikti_sword&at=boss_grunt https://cod.uberguy.net/html/power.html?power=rikti.rikti_greater_sword.greater_rikti_sword&at=boss_grunt

Yeah, my pre-edit had all, but then I remembered one is broken and one is the Endless Colonnade, so made the edit.

Spoilers ahead... I'm on mobile so the spoiler feature doesn't work. As I said in my post and Lemming mentioned as well, 6 of the 7 colored floors secret rooms (7 total, but only 6 work right now) are fixed locations that can be accessed through the same door every single time as many times as a player wants to visit it. All of these secret areas award the exact same badge. White, Green, Violet, Blue, Red, Orange, Yellow There's also one floor-agnostic, (meaning it's can potentially be accessed from any floor), secret area in the Labyrinth which is accessed by successful RNG, that awards the same badge as the other floors. This is the random one.

What? The mini-pets can't be targeted and follow the owner. How is there confusion about whether they are Hamidon Buds? And why is the suggestion to take them away from players?

Requiem should have his pink squid form from the comics.

In time for Halloween!?

Been there! But it's part of the fun IMO - I think I enjoyed searching for the secret rooms more than actually finding and seeing what they are. Edit: "Been there!" meaning I can relate to what was written.

The secret/ unique rooms are tied to certain doors on each floor. Same doors every time. There's another secret room that is really an outlier that doesn't follow that rule, but like @EnnVee mentions, they all award the same badge currently.

I admit, I sell items for 5 inf more often than not because I can't be bothered to look at what the item previously sold for. I'm not hurting for inf streams and it's just less clicks to get to the cheese. I do this with purples, pvps, aethers, boosters, the whole nine yards! I don't think I could give someone enough influence to click all of my email items for me. I'd literally give it all away if someone would be willing to accept the carpel tunnel.

Welcome back!

Wait 15 minutes (and don't let it die) and they will reward you with a Draught of the Fog inspiration.

This is an exaggeration and misleading and you've cited two instances that are neither what you described previously as quoted. The Rikti ship can be countered by using the Hamidon Essence toggle from the LGTF. The attack from Hopkins in the Manticore TF is not a one shot attack. You said, and I quoted: The words you say have meaning. And now you've doubled down on the "most high end villains" sentiment. No, most high end villains don't do enough damage to kill a lot of characters many times over with just basic attacks with no warning and no way to avoid or survive them. That is completely false and an exaggeration. You're clearly experiencing difficulty and are frustrated, but advocating for a change in game difficulty based on this is ridiculous. Use the tools that players have to mitigate defeat. Ask for help, I'm more than happy to show you on Indomitable. Unless a player is intentionally making the game difficult for themselves, there is no excuse for players who choose not to avail themselves of the tools in this game. It's not meaningless, it's reality. Get on City of Data and show me a power that is designed to one shot a player. Stop exaggerating and misleading the player base and articulate factual data so that if a developer wanted to address this issue, as you've provide feedback on so many times, they can look at it instead of seeing the same line over and over. Yes, wrong,. Adapt, learn from defeat. You've clearly experienced defeat enough to know there are things happening to your character that you should avoid in the future when fighting that enemy or enemy group. If a player is at 255 Health and they're normally at 1606 Health, they should use any of the possible options to mitigate incoming damage such as, breaking line of sight, moving out of distance from the next attack, communicating they need help in chat, using inspiration to address the damage, using temporary powers to heal themselves or their own powerset to do so if a self heal is available, using their Incarnates if available, accept defeat and use a power that makes them stronger after like Revive or Power of the Phoenix, use Hibernate or Phase Shift, pop Rune of Protection, summon a Signature Pet Tank summon to take aggro off the player. And these are all things that can be done during the fight - afterwards players can change their builds to address the issue, or just simply learn what to avoid and prepare for it in the future, then communicate that with their team to ensure defeat doesn't happen again. I know this is just exaggeration because you're frustrated, but I'm not sympathetic to this at all when players can purchase any recipe or IO they want using the rewards they earn in game. 500 billion influence? You can't be serious and it's not worth my time to respond to this part further. Good - this game only works when other people play it. I'm more than happy to invite you to participate in any content or run through something you're challenged by so you're more confident and can enjoy this game more. My global is @Glacier Peak.

And since the upgrade feature was added by Homecoming, it's much easier to take the same enhancements all the way to Level 50.

But there's more XP on these shards - Double XP on Indomitable specifically!
