D'oh!

I just saw there was a Camera vanity pet, so I ran over and bought it for Vayne Glorious. However, it's the big drone looking camera. I'd like to have a camera like the one in TPN.

Selfie stick

One badge to rule them all.

They've got a year, what else have they got going on? /s

What if we changed it so what appears in the zone is just a portal, and when you go through it you join in an instance of the "Matrix room" where the actual event is going on? Basically, all the events become instanced and maybe that doesn't turn a zone into a lagfest?

76. Every once in a while, declare peace. It confuses the hell out of your enemies.

So, we're back to not having to fill out a power execution request form, mail it in, then have the power execute in 24-48 hours?

Inspiration storage, too.

Just sharing this, because I thought it was pretty crazy. I jumped in The Abyss 35 minutes before our scheduled daily Hami raid at the top of the hour, and was player #50 in the zone. I communicated with @Laucianna about how crazy it was that the zone was filled so early, and said I was tempted to start a Hami in Abyss 2. She said - and I quote - "yolo!" so I decided to try it. I figured we wouldn't get enough in Abyss 2 to even make it possible, and even if we did we'd probably fail because we were lacking some of the regular toons. We actually filled up and ended up having 4 successful runs in Abyss 2 while GL had all her successful runs in Abyss 1 at the same time - all while the wildly popular MS event was going on. It was a bad April Fool's joke that went right.

Yeah, based on what @Veracor said, and not seeing any solid evidence to the contrary, I think I'll continue to do the countdown to try to get credit for all 4 terminals. I'm not sure what you might gain in time by activating 3 terminals as soon as they are accessible is offset by having to potentially visit another building.

Absolutely no one asked for this data, but you're gonna get it anyway. I went back through all my logs for this year and found that I have a success rate of about 41% on Triple Threat (83 attempts). Of course, that's not terribly fair because I don't re-run successful runs, only failures. Anyway, here's how it has gone so far:

One thing about badges like Triple Threat - I wish the game notified you like it does in Diabolique "Badge Challenge Successful! Complete Trial to earn badge" or whatever it says. I'm never really convinced we got the badge until the little guy sings.

It's really feast or famine. Sometimes we get it on the first try, sometimes the second, and sometimes still not after 3 tries. I tend to say on average I probably have a 50% success rate with that. You may have caught me on a good run of bad luck.

I agree. I also wish you could select a costume from there, and whether you want to log in to the zone or your base (if applicable).

I stopped leading THE REALLY HARD WAY run a while back after numerous (and expensive) failures. I've seen it done elsewhere relatively easily, but since I tend to lead PUGs maybe that's the reason. I've really examined my own leadership and can't find anything I am doing differently than those who succeed. I may come back around to trying it again sometime. But for me, it's TRIPLE THREAT because everyone can literally do everything right, and you can still fail the badge because the AVs regen at random times. What's truly frustrating is when you get all the AVs down to 2%, Nega's shield is down, and Chimera just TP'd so you give the kill order and... someone regens. It's like they were waiting just for me to give the kill order. Maybe if you have everyone on VC in Discord you can get everyone to instantly stop, but once you give the kill order it's really hard to stop that train. I recently suggested some ideas for a revamp to keep the badge challenging by addressing the randomness issue.

I have been told "The Devs" changed something long ago and now there is no benefit to trying to activate the terminals in a TPN trial at the same time. My Google-fu is failing me, though, on any official or even unofficial notice of this. Can anyone help with a reliable source for this? I recently tried to find a popmenu to run TPN badge runs, and finding none (but a wealth of information otherwise) I created my own and posted it here. If there really is no benefit to activating the terminals at the same time I want to modify my popmenu and that post accordingly.

I wasn't recommending multiboxing in a raid zone, to be clear. I was writing my reply when I saw yours above and thought I should clarify that you should NOT multibox in a raid zone. I know your reply was in reference to multiboxing through Ouro, which is different. Just didn't want to confuse others in my reply.

80 for your first run (18 hr CD I believe) then 40 for each additional run - per character. So, if you dare alt between runs you could theoretically get 80 per run. On Excelsior, at least, I wouldn't recommend that because the zone tends to stay full and you might not be able to get back in. The most I have run in a row so far is 7 and that took about an hour. Had you stuck with the same character all 7 runs you should have got 320 reward merits. If you managed to successfully alt between each run and get back in zone, you could have theoretically got 560 merits. Realistically, I can say it is hard to keep my core group together for more than 4 runs usually - we all got stuff to do. So most times our group tends to do 3-5 runs each time. PSA: According to the Multiboxing Policy: "An exception to this rule is Hamidon raid zones (The Hive, The Abyss) which have a limited population cap. No multiboxing is allowed in these zones. Breaking this rule may result in all of your characters being removed from the zone and short-term suspensions being issued for repeat offenders"

I suggested at one point a slash command you could use to keep you in your emote even after getting buffed. Something along the lines would be great.

My thought was to have something simple I can communicate in chat. If I'm having to describe to them to right click on their tab, select edit, and if request is not already in the left column... you see where I'm going. Instead I could just communicate "Make sure to /addchannel Request"

I checked the list of slash commands and don't see anything like this. As a league leader, it would be nice to have something like a "/addchannel request" command, which a player could use to add that to their current chat tab.

Any chance we can make this message appear just once, and then only in the Tell channel as opposed to EVERY channel?
