I've decided that I need to address a situation that occurred about 3 days ago. It sort of bothered me, and I've slept on it, and it still bugs me enough for me to mention it here.

Speed Taskforces - Hey, I get it. Time is short for some players, myself included sometimes. Sometimes, I've got time and other times I don't.

Efficiency, beat the other peeps' time, etc.

This weeks tf is, as most of you know, the LGtf. (Lady Grey for the returning players)
On this tf, everyone seems to be familiar with escorting NPC's to safety. However, since I returned to CoH last April, every time I'd done this tf, these captives were never rescued; all were led to other mobs for defeating - so that the mission would fail and the team could continue the tf that much quicker. (The first time "mission failed" flashed on my screen, I thought we'd have to reform and restart! I'd almost quit!)

A few days ago, I was on a Lady Grey TF - my third time that day, but my first with my main - and there were several returning players or simply rusty players who hadn't ran the LGtf in quite a long time. (I found this out later)
We had one corruptor - and I'll tell you via PM if you think his actions were so horrible - who quit the tf, because even though he had explained things in a sort of vague shorthand kind of way, someone had actually rescued Glacia, while I had helped lead Infernia to get defeated.

As a result, we now had to rescue the remaining hostages. As you are likely aware, this was going to add to our time a good amount. Maybe even as much as 15 minutes if the team had treated it like a kill all, instead of just hunting for captives, being all split up.
So, the corruptor quit. I understand why, but still rude in my opinion.

After he quit, I then noticed what was apparently a re-iteration of my teammates saying that they hadn't done this tf in a long time.

So, to sum up, I'd like to ask you fine people to always do what @Daleaha does when he forms a tf with speed in mind.

1. Always ask the team if there's anyone that doesn't know how to do a speed *tf. (whatever tf is being done)
2. If they chime in that they do, take a moment and tell them anyway. I might think I know how to do a speed *tf, but others on the team may have a different idea.
3 Take a moment if you're not the leader of the team and ask the team leader in a tell if he will go over the speed tf rules and strategy/tactics, and if not, would they mind if you did.

4. Many of us have a fair idea how long a specific tf should take. Let's be sure to share this number with the group, so that others will have a clearer idea of how much time it will take.

Now, this is not to suggest in any way that you good people don't already do these things.

I sort of blame myself for not being more outspoken during that mission. If I had been, I might have finished earlier and been able to jump on another tf.


It could be that because many of you never left - you already are doing them by rote memory.
Just try to realize that not everyone has it down pat like that.
