  1. And here's my badge completion, just before heading to iTrials last night!  I pulled out my original Live costume for the occasion.

     

    My final badge was Immortal (100M damage taken), about the last half of which I got from Resting in front of two +4 Malta engineer-summoned turrets (~390k/hour).  It was what I could reliably regen solo.

  2. With regard to Shardtober, perhaps a bit of discussion to help guide themes:

    • In the Shard TFs we have four opportunities for Mirror Image or Variety Act badge runs.  It can be a little harder to nail down Mirror Image, so does anyone need that badge on a character?  (And what AT are they?)  On the other hand, I've mostly tried to stay away from AT/Power themes (and stick to costume themes) for the higher-level TFs, since people may want/need to level a new character to qualify.
    • I love the Shard TFs, but they can be a bit lengthy.  Especially Dr Q, which requires some effort/planning to complete in under 2 hours.  Is this okay, or would you prefer to do the shorter ones?  So far, I've only put the Shard TFs on theme during the traditional Shardtober, so once per year.

    I see now what you all were talking about in game. I really need to remember to come to the forum during the week and sign up sooner! Sorry about that. The last few months I've only played on Saturdays, but I'll try to keep up better.

     

    I think it's mainly that it's summer, so people are taking holidays and/or spending time with family.  Game population has always seemed lower in the summer.  Going forward, we probably want to plan the non-50 themes during the summer (traditionally from Memorial Day to Labor Day)--I'd fallen into the trap when the WST was all high-level stuff (Ms Lib, Recluse, and Sewer Trial).

     

    That being said, I'm thinking of a soldier theme for Shardtober.  This year, the last Saturday in October is St. Crispin's Day.

    So happy I can join for this today. Not only do I love a Mirror Image run, I love an all-brute team! It's some of my fondest memories on live, of my friends and I all playing brutes together. 🙂 🙂  And I also love the costume theme. I'm going to bring Morning Frost - Ice/Ice Brute, and I'll see what I can do with an icy goth costume. 😄 

     

    Great!  Since we now have 4, we can try for the Mirror Image run with Brutes.

    Trying to see if I can get my new brute to 30, if not i'll find something. I should be free to play tomorrow.

     

    We may relax the theme somewhat, maybe just costume theme, since the Mirror Image badge requires a team of at least 4 and all the same AT.  We'll call it at game time, and I have a new alt who needs Manti anyway.

    Just for the record: Fire powers could be: Fire, Thermal, Fiery, ... does Pyro count?

  9. I just got one at the end:

    image.thumb.jpeg.e030f3cb122a168446ff01d3fcb35691.jpeg

     

    There are Devouring Swarms that hang out near the ceilings in some places, so if you're flying over the other mobs and not stealthed they'll get you.  They're like the regular Swarms, but they're named Devouring Swarm and their Sting is a massive -Fly, -Teleport debuff that lasts a long time.  (Probably why ATT and TP Target also weren't picking Ban up.)

    Did that work?  I don't think I can do that since the majority of my posts are AE reviews with screenshots of the action.  I'd leave most of them just empty!

     

    No, it didn't.  I ended up posting Google Drive links to my screenshots of last night's GM event on Indom.

  13. I couldn't post any images in the forums, but let's try the Google Drive links.  (It gives me the opportunity of sharing the raw images instead of having to cut them down to fit the post limit.)
