You're not going to get into BA without their existence because nobody on the western servers wants to deal with pugging this content. BA runs just don't happen otherwise. It's the sad and simple truth.
It's funny how people will talk about how you can't snipe portals but the reality is they'll only ever use a portal when a premade is present in the first place.

Exactly, you can't trust randoms in eureka to even pop fates half the time. Most of them just stand in the bunny fates and drool with their mouths wide open till someone else comes along to actually do something. Try throwing a group of them into BA and see how far they get. :v I bet half of them would trip going up the sets of stairs to the first bosses.

I have never been in hydatos so I don't have a horse in this race. However the level of entitlement I've seen from players regarding BA is absolutely ridiculous. Like what goes through a persons head that they think its fair going into a portal like that when there is a group of 56 people wanting to do something together. I know the portals are all open but like, how can you think your are being remotely useful just showing up like that. It'd be like someone turning to your raid night randomly and demanding to be accommodated. People know this content is basically unpuggable, and joining the Discord is free. Its just common respect you know?

And then you get stopped in your tracks by a convoluted verification process, if you can't get through that, you can't join the Discord, and thus no BA for you.
Having to jump through that sort of hoops out of game...
Joining the Discord is a process of frustration, futility, stonewalling and uncooperative technology.
At least if you are in the EU. -
03-11-2019, 09:53 AMHyoMinParkI have to ask again, did you actually contact the Discord admins to help you through he verification process if you are having issues?Quote:

03-11-2019, 09:57 AMHarryTipperI'm in the same Discord and saw your messages in the general chat.Quote:

I can understand the frustration but the verification process is important to keep potential griefers/trolls from sneaking in.
I tried messaging you on Discord with a quick guide i made, so please maybe look into it and give it another chance.

Turns out the Admins are quite busy at present, please try again later.
Which means i'm basically sitting there twiddling my thumbs for however long it takes for them to become available again.
EDIT: Or maybe there is another avenue i can attempt to pursue after all -
03-11-2019, 10:12 AMReiMakotoI'm in EU and a member of raid team joined the discord no problem, I don't see what the issue is, if you want to clear hard content that requires a lot of people then communicating with these people in the most convenient way seems like a no brainerQuote:
