Too many Babbages... or too many mad geniuses? IDK, you decide

lol I put it all in the title.

 

Saturday someone held an event to see how many Babbages they could queue up at once.  Apparently the record was 28, and we only got to 17 or so.  IDK, I'm just the hoi polloi.  But it was fun.  😄  

 

And I promised I'd upload the screenshot here.

This is a weekly event held every Saturday night on Torchbearer starting at 8 PM EST.  Get there early to grab your spot on a Synapse league team so the TF can start right at 8 PM promptly.

And even if you don't want to participate in the TF or don't have the time, anyone came join in later on the overflow leagues for the Babbage Brawl when they are gathered.

I found this macro helpful, although I'd recommend spelling "Sprocket" correctly:

/macro Sproket target_custom_next enemy alive sprocket

 

Gives you something to do while you wait

And tonight they threw a Kronos Titan for good measure.

I think the lag would be helped if people didn't go nuts and fire off every AoE they have, Incarnates, Lores etc. all at once.  Barring that, use the /noparticles command.  It does help.

I did.  I was the one telling people to do it in chat.

This was last night's Babbage haul, I think the reported number was 23.

 

Is this a horrible photo?  Yes, but it is the best one I have.  Ugh.  The 2nd photo is from earlier, but no where near the 23 Babbs yet.

Hiya! I run that event. We start forming every Saturday night at 8pm ET. There are usually 2 main leagues that run the TF. And then 2 overflow Leagues who start forming around 9:15pm to help corral the Babbages. The patience and cooperation that everyone displays is remarkable. It takes a lot of time for 10+ teams to spawn and pull the Babbages before I give the GO.

 

Since the calendar on the forums is disabled. I'm posting the rules here:

1 - All teams in the league do the missions of a normal Synapse TF until we get to the "Defeat the Clockwork Lord" mission.

2 - Once the Clockwork Lord is defeated and the mission is completed, wait to exit until all other teams complete the mission. So bring your patience!

3 - This is not a race. The goal is to work together to spawn as many Babbages as we can and defeat them together. Nagging or taunting anyone for how fast or slow they reach the Clockwork Lord mission will not be tolerated.

4 - We will be staggering our exits. When the OK is given for your team to to exit, leave the mission and collect your Babbage.

5 - We then pull the Babbages to an open central area for a party! Since we're in league, it's easy to pick a spot that's central to all the teams. And Babbage will follow you anywhere... just be careful to keep him away from any police drones.

It is a fun event, thanks for organizing them.  😄
