Unless Halli and Gaudi function differently than the other orgs, doesn't Gaudi have to do their quest to destroy the generators before their converted spheres start draining power from the Matrix? I mean, if I remember correctly anyway, how the orgs go is like:

1) OrgA kills OrgB smob to convert them.
2) Converted smobs hit Org B protection until it hits 0.
3) Org A initiates quest to destroy Org B protection.
4) With Org B protection down, converted smobs drain Org B nexus.

The basically just reversing that for the Org B counterquest? Like, resurrecting the smobs then doing the quest to re-raise the protection? I might be forgetting something though or be totally off since Halli and Gaudi are just weird.

While I had fun in the skirmish, I now know why I'm so tightly wound. Eesh.

From what I heard, one of the attacks took off 2k motes from the Primary Generator, so there wasn't much they could do about it.

The "quest" is just letting all 5000 points of shield get beaten down before the smobs are revived. Halli spend a long time running around like chickens with their heads cut off killing ice beasties instead of fixing the spheres, so the shield fell and then they got nexus power drained. The actual order is:

1) OrgA kills OrgB smob to convert them.
2) Converted smobs hit Org B protection until it hits 0.
2a) Optional. With Org B protection down, converted smobs drain Org B nexus.
3) Org B revives smobs and then does a quest to put the shield back up.

(I'd also like to see Gaudiguch do anything but run around like headlless chickens without anyone holding their hands)

Not entirely true due to a few misweaves in the procedure at the start. When we were running around killing ice beasties, the Generator wasn't actually losing any motes, or the Matrix any power despite it appearing in powerlogs. We then faced a sudden loss of 2000 motes and generator working normally, after which there was very little killing of ice beasties, for which I am a sad.

Also as far as I could make out, number of motes lost seemed to be dependent on number of butterfly streams attacking us. Though not confirmed since they didn't correlate time-wise for some reason.

Anyway, think all the relevant bugs have been reported.

I don't think we do. Our analogues to Hart and Crow are the elemental lords, and we don't have anywhere near as great of a connection with them as you do with your animal spirits. I also don't recall Celest having any kind of quest to kick Mag in the nads when the Necromentate is down.

oooh... no wait, WTF!

Your cosmic mobs are down, every org in game suffers the same penalties when their opposition is attacking them and you don't appear to be suffering consequences... so you ignore it and go on with other things?

I'm sorry, but, to me at least, that screams bug with an accompanying flashing neon sign. SOP when your enemy turns your cosmic... things against you is you get them back up ASAP.

Yes, this was realised and bugged when noticed. However, do remember that this is 'pretendy funtime'. Interesting and fun things were happening elsewhere. So what if generator not restored what, perhaps an hour before it could be?

Maybe you just take things more seriously than me...

Then I guess we don't! Cause... we don't have elemental lord mobs...? So confused.

The spheres can only be fixed so fast; there's twelve of them, and only so much essence to go around, and not much else you can do while you wait for more essence.

it is also only 120 essence per sphere with there being 146 essence per hour on the elemental planes alone. Add to that ethereal serenwilde critters and xion those spheres can be raised quite quickly.

Luckily for both Halifax and Gaudiguch the hunting stuff is a seperate event or everyone would turn against both cities to create a perfect hunting ground. I love how one larva can lead to 128 (is that right?) devils.
