Really Hard Way Excelsior attempt.

[Snarky]

Sigh.  Did you know they named the band Led Zeppelin because a member of the Who said the only direction the band was going was down, and it would sink like a lead balloon?  Well, welcome to Snarky's PUG Really Hard Way attempt!  All of that energy and without the talent.  (Unless I can con...  convince you folks to help me!)

 

On Saturday 9-27 at 4pm Pacific, on Excelsior We will meet in Echo Plaza for a madcap dash for the Really Hard Way badge.  

 

This will be modelled after Cosmic Council's (now defunct) weekly RHW runs, of which I took part in many many of.  For those not familiar we run through the first part of the trial very fast.  When the final boss fight starts it gets serious.  

 

We gather at the rim, we pop an Ultimate, we pop Hybrids, We drop Lores, and we Buff.  In that exact order.  While the Tank grabs the boss and pulls him to us.  We kill the boss.  Done correctly, with a properly powered league, this is insanely fast.  You have to NOT kill the boss before at least one crackle happens.  I suspect, on a league that does not know the fight, we might run through 3-4 crackles.  Very very important, avoid ther Crackle, do not die.  We need the DPS of your Lores!  Sometimes the Crackle is invisible.  Move your butt if you are taking damage.  And that is the entire strategy.  It is insanely fast done right.

Discord: CoH Homecoming in a Team Chat Channel (it will be the only one with a bunch of people on that Saturday, probably Team 1....

 

Please contact me in advance to reserve a spot.  Yes, I already have a few maniacs willing to do this.  I need a lot more.  I think we may end up doing 2-3 attempts.  The super inspirations are an investment, but it is a difficult badge.  I believe, even untrained as a League, there is a good chance we will get it on the first run.  But, I have been wrong before....  If we get it first run, we will probably do a Triple Threat attempt.  These are much harder, as it depends on random AV heals not happening at the exact wrong second. So, there is a good possibility of a Master Badge.  But the Really Hard Way Badge is the goal and focus.  Oklahoman's runs can get all the other badges for you if we run out of time/steam.

 

Thanks to everyone who reads, replies, shows up, helps, or makes random comments!
