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. Your leadership is fine, as you say it is the PUG factor . 1 25 alts with all the badges!
Glacier Peak Posted March 29 Posted March 29 9 hours ago, Ukase said: I think most of us know to go to Brainstorm to test...or is there another secret shard we're supposed to use? Also - it's easy to say "help out with testing"...but there's a fair number of folks, myself included, where the only way I think of to test something is to just play the game the way I'd play it on Excelsior. If there's something specific to be tested, that should be mentioned, and how it should be tested. Back on live, there was a chap who may or may not have gotten in trouble with the Paragon Devs. I think he did, because he found a bug and may or may not have exploited it before reporting it. It's all hearsay, so no idea how accurate it is. The dude was on a pb, and apparently, he was able to put a lot more than just 6 slots on a power. And it was well before ED, so he had like 22 slots on one of the nova form blasts and supposedly one shot hami. Again, that's just what I heard. No idea if it's true, but it doesn't matter. It shows a scenario where someone finds a bug/exploit just by training up and proceeds to use it in a fashion quite unintended. Most of us know the limit is six slots, so it would never occur to me to try to get more. (I'm quite sure that bug was addressed quickly) I'm happy to test. I just need to know if there's something specific, and if there's a method to use when testing, if there's some sort of proper format for reporting any findings to make it more readable, etc. The specific things requested to test are described in focus feedback threads on the beta subforum. The Homecoming team has been getting better at communicating what exactly they what tested and what they are looking for as a result. 2 I lead weekly Indom Badge Runs / A newer giant monster guide by Glacier Peak / A tour of Pocket D easter eggs! / Arena All-Star Accolade Guide!

I actually think Triple Threat, in the same iTrial, is harder. That one is for taking out Shadowhunter, Nega Pendragon and Chimera within 5 seconds of each other. By far Triple Threat. Cosmic Council used to do Really Hard Way once a week. I think they missed getting it maybe twice i can remember. Triple Threat? That badge, you can line it all up perfect and say go. Then sit there a minute later asking yourself where it all went wrong. Over and over again. This with a full SG on Discord and concentrating. In a PUG.

Mo Barracuda is still a bit of a pill to get. Luckily its been changed so that the team leader gets the power needed to shut down Reichsman's phase power However he is still overamped and has the ambush waves. I have had some teams of late that were not as optimal as past teams gain the Mo Cuda badge but we literally had to stay in the fight until ALL the ambush waves were destroyed while the tanks/brutes kept him occupied.

On 3/29/2024 at 2:03 PM, lemming said: Unless you've taken a hard hit recently to the head, your leadership is fine. I've been hanging out on Everlasting for the last year and while I think they are more consistent in getting "The Really Hard Way", I think there's a larger core of beefed out characters that are paying attention. I think this is a significant factor. I can tell you that I attend every single RHW run, on a character that I created ONLY for the RHW badge attempts. He's a beam rifle/kinetics corr with every single power and slotting decision made with the RHW badge in mind. By my count, I've taken him on RHW runs 85 times so I kind of know the drill. And the Everlasting TF's channel has an entire cadre of hardcore players and there's usually several of them on every RHW run. Frequently, we have Veracor tanking (you know, the guy with something like 20,000 vet levels). Back in the early days of the badge, we used to do RHW with something like 20 corrs *REQUIRED* or we wouldn't even attempt it and just a couple of 'carry' slots to get people the badge. Nowadays, if we have half a dozen or so hardcore players, at least 5 corrs, at least 3 people with kinetics, the rest of the league isn't that big of a deal. But yeah, like lemming suggests, having a handful of SERIOUS players on the league makes a huge difference. 3 Originally on Infinity. I have Ironblade on every shard. - My only AE arc: The Origin of Mark IV (ID 48002) Link to the story of Toggle Man, since I keep having to track down my original post.

There are even guides on how to do it, but you'll still get turned around by the stupid door system (Am I going up or down? What floor am I on? Is that the American "first floor" or the UK "first floor"?) and the corridors that all look alike when obscured by fire. I'm going to double down on this one, having failed at it 7 times today.
