To what? It's a TV show, not the easiest thing to link to 😄 I can add a trailer for it, if you want? Save you having to Google it?

Is anyone else a massive fan of What We Do In The Shadows? Seriously, this show is absolutely brilliant, so well written and performed by all the cast and yet no-one I know watches it!! It's almost unheard of! Given some of the amazing guest stars that have appeared in it, it's shocking how few people talk about it! Seeing Mark Hamill in the latest episode caught me right off guard! Also.......fucking Colin Robinson. urrgh!

I have a single supergroup and base for all my characters on Torch. It's a very simple, three room thing that has the basics in of what I want. I've been using it more to travel around the city faster after noticing how I was being left behind in missions and TF's especially. I'm hoping that it's not using too much space as I'm only ever in it for a few seconds, usually.

PSY-!!!! OMG!!!! *hugs Psy- madly* I was just talking about you with Maz the other day 😄 Remember this? 😄

Failing that, run through the Synapse TF, you are all but guaranteed to get it in that one.

If you were EU based there was Evolution Radio, Titan Gaming Radio and Rogues Radio, Current one is Regen Radio, still running

Confirmed! Just solo'd it and got the badge! 😄 I wonder if the other couple of TF's are soloable that I need. May give them a go 🙂

Does it?? I thought it stayed as an AV for TF's? I'll give that a try then, thanks!

Already in there, Fury's channel and he invited me in there, he's helped me a lot with getting badges and he's a sexy legend 🙂 Again, I don't see many MO's advertised in there, to be fair, it's a trials channel so I wouldn't expect to see many. I'm also in the Torchbearer TF and Badge channels. so I'm always looking. Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining or angry or anything, it's just frustrating to be so close to completion and not being able to get anywhere with the last few. Half of it's bad timing, I saw a Sister Psyche advertised earlier, just as I was having to log off for a work Zoom call! So annoying 😄

Sorry, should have said in the original post, not wanting to do farming, never enjoyed it at all 🙂 Also, I have all the other grind badges, it's just the last Inf badge I need now.

To be fair, I see ITF all the time, just not often an MO attempt. I'm not going to join an ITF and ask to set it to MO when it's a speed run. A sped run is a lot less likely to get the MO anyway as people will be steamrolling it and not worrying about dying as much I do join Hami raids when I can, was in one that Fury ran the other night, but I'm UK based and it's not as often at UK times, more often they are at 2-3 in the morning for me. I know they happen and I do join them when I can, I just don't see the things I need for the badges very often As for running my own? Yeah, I'm not remotely good enough to run things like MSR, Hami or MO attempts, I barely keep up in those things as it is 🙂

Aaaaaaagggh!! Getting so frustrating now, got all the badges I can do solo and got 48 left to do and they are all ones that can't be solo'd. At 1492 atm and I never see things like MO runs for ITF or anyone ever running Sister Psyche. 😄 Plus, that damn final influence badge is a nightmare!

So I'm trying to get my final Influence badge and it's a slog and a half! I know you need the inf from missions and enemy defeats, not through selling on the market. What's the fastest way to earn inf normally? Am I looking at MSR and iTrials? Or will just playing the game normally work the same speed?

"In the middle of my back swing??!" 😄 😄 😄

Don't get me wrong, not saying it's a bad thing or anything, just I know a few players who are adamant you have to become some sort of market expert and have yourself all IO'd up and packed with Purples as soon as humanly possible if you are to play the game. That works for them but I wouldn't want new players to the game thinking they are going to be unable to level at all if they can't learn the inner depths of the market economics and how to min-max. You can just play the game and have fun with it 🙂

Counter-point to some of the market players in here 😉 You don't need a huge amount of Inf to get to 50. You can get to 50 perfectly fine with just the normal in-game items you get from salvage and recipe drops if you sell them on the Auction House or to a vendor. I rarely buy anything more than just normal DO's and SO' until I get to 50, I always get more than enough Inf just by playing the game. Don't feel you have to min-max you character to be able to level up, just playing the game normally, you'll level up fast enough anyway However, when you get to 50, if you want to kit yourself out with all purple sets, become all uber-powerful, then yes, you need a metric ton of Inf and that's when you need to know how to play the markets, converters etc. There are numerous guides in the forum for this so have fun getting there!

Nope!! I don't agree with this thread, it's silly! Sorry, but I'm here to repress you!

This. So much this. A geek loves what he loves. A nerds takes things faaaar too seriously 🙂

This on a black background on my desktop, the full version of my avatar, had it done years ago and got a print version of it on my wall as well 🙂

Indeed, that's half the fun of playing a KB set, I love having to think fast and work out the best place to go to be able to use the KB to its best effect. That's what makes this game so great for me, so many powersets with different ways to play them, even on the same AT! Doesn't always go right, sometimes you get stuck in a thin corridor, usually a CoT map, those are a nightmare for my En/En blaster because I can't position at all on a big team 😄 But hey, it's all fun in the end. I often find the TF's that go disastrously wrong are often the most fun. Was on a Posi 1 the other day on a new toon, so much went wrong, we got wiped a few times, sometimes our fault, sometimes the game went full on EVIL and launched everything at us (seriosuly, I think all the ambushes at the door in the final mish happened all at once, it was mental 😄 ) and it was the most fun I'd had in a TF in a long time 🙂

Only in this thread, there are a few out there. I did a search on Knockback to see how hated and reviled it actually is and it's fairly even split, some people hate it, some people defend it. It's all good. Like I said earlier, I get it and I understand why people don't like it and that's fine, people are entitled to an opinion, they are entitled to ignore people for whatever reason they want, I just think it's harsh to insult people just because they play a KB powerset.

In defense of Tahliah, and myself as well, it does get a little wearing when someone calls you a griefer for playing KB, or indeed, when someone says that an actual game mechanic of the game is evil??? I get it, some people don't like it, I even understand it, I've played scrappers to 50 and I know what effect KB can have, but how can constantly haranguing people on the forums for playing it, sticking people on ignore without even giving them the chance to show they know what they are doing or calling them aggressive be any worse than us defending ourselves? Weirdly, it only seems to be on the forums that people scream about KB so much. In 15 years of playing a KB blaster I can think of two, maybe three times I've had any crap about it, and two of them were just after the game returned as Homecoming and I put it down to new people joining up and not knowing how to play so I gently moved on and left them to it, only one of which I ignored. I guess I just resent being insulted and reviled by some people just for playing a KB powerset. I could understand if I was being a dick about how I play the powerset, if I spent every mission being a douche who scatters every enemy constantly, but I don't, and, honestly, I've only met one person in game who did the same as well, and he was well known for being an idiot anyway so I blamed him and not the powerset.

OI OI!! Good stuff, people 🙂

I have no issue with how anyone feels about KB, if that's their views, that's fine, I'll add them my ignore list if they are being dumb-asses about and move on. People are entitled to their opinions on how the game should be played, it's wide enough for everyone. I do resent being called a griefer because I play a KB powerset though.

Cool. Cool cool cool. Anyone know how to stick someone on ignore on the forum? I'm done with this. Never mind, figured it out.
