OK - well, it looks like this is going to be a popular one...if someone would like to volunteer to lead a second team, we can set it up that way...
If not, we'll only be abot to run with the people on the main list (if everyone shows). -
Just a reminder...
This is Tonight!
...and there was a patch yesterday, so if you have not logged in...do so early... -

Strike Force Info & Stats:- This Strike Force requires an 8-person team to start & I will set it to No Temp Powers (which includes Veteran Reward Powers) & 0 Defeats
- 6 missions (1 talk to)
- Badge(s): Servant of Recluse, Master/Mistress of Olympus, Annihilator, Master of Lord Recluse's Strike Force for No Deaths/No Temp Powers (no guarantees of course :smirk: ) plus progress towards the Monkeywrencher badge for Zeus Titans among others
- Merit Reward: 25
- This Strike Force (by necessity) will probably be limited to just one team.
- Stick together, listen to instructions & do not be afraid to offer your opinion on strategy!
- First Mission: We have been bypassing the majority of this mission just taking out the objectives & fighting groups when necessary. Just play smart & do not over aggro. The Scientist location can be ascertained by checking the number of red objective points in each door (3 yes / 2 no). Often the glowies can be stealthed. The ambushes & leading the scientist to the glowie has been removed from the SF. Clear the left side to Crimson - Pets on passive to avoid Hero aggro until we are set.
- Second Mission: In the water to the Khronos Titan. Clear around the nearby mobs & take out the Titan. Clear the mob in front of the door. Stealth & TP to the end area if possible, if not stick together & clear. Clear the two areas before opening up the door. After aggroing the Slinger, try to clear the surrounding mobs before taking him down to make it less hectic for when he spawns his bots.
- Fourth Mission: After talking to Grillo (Third Mission), move to the base of the Atlas Statue. We may need to clear some nearby mobs first. Pull to the front foot of the statue (furthest from the Heroes). Pull/Kill order: Numina, Sister Psyche, Manticore, BABs subject to pulling circumstances.
- Fifth Mission: Clear to the Vindicator door, while the rest of the team sets up back down the hall, someone stealthy should open the door. Pull/Kill order: Malaise, Swan, Luminary, Mynx, Valkyrie (x2) subject to pulling circumstances. Clear to the glowie. Set-up & wait for the ambush (we usually go back to the main hall by the large room). Clear to Ms Liberty. Use the rifle on her & take her down.
- Sixth Mission: Clear to the right side of the Atlas Statue (to avoid any cross agro). Stay together & keep buffs/debuffs running. From this side, Pull/Kill order: Numina, Synapse. Clear to the left side of the Atlas Statue. From this side, Pull/Kill order: Sister Psyche, Manticore. From here, we can determine which side to pull from next & which hero to pull. Of course this is all subject to pulling circumstances. Apparently if Statesman is mentally undressing Numina, it will result in an “All-Pull” situation. If this occurs, we will determine a strategy - perhaps logging out to reset the mission & hoping for a better distribution of the heroes. Conversely, we my try the sleep & pull method if we have the right team make-up.
- This is still a work in progress…so please chime in with ideas!

Sorry I wasn't able to get back on the 2nd night E; worked a double and was half asleep by the time I got home. I hoped it played out well.
@njcash
It is a long-*** TFs - not overly hard, but it was fun time.
I figured you got tied up - I did send you an in-game email before we started the last mission just to see if you were on. -
I am going to have to back out from this for tonight - my desktop bit the dust this morning & I am really not comfortable trying to run this on my laptop.
Sorry about the cancellation, but I am sure you will be able to get someone to replace me. -
I should be able to make it...the only thing that might interfere is if my comp is giving me major issues...
Put me down with my widow - Neon Widow
I know I have Shivans - I'll try to grab some nukes as well. -
Oh and then a few of us that were on did an After Hours Weekly Strike Target - Dr Kahn TF

Thanks for joining everyone - sorry that we could not fit everyone on the team that showed up last night.
Next week we go back to the beginning with a Master of the Statesman Task Force - look for the sign-up post in the MoSTF: Weekend Edition thread in a couple of days. -
Just a reminder...
This is Tonight!
I just hope John Wilkes Booth doesn't make an appearance tonight and give us any problems... -

For what it's worth, the blue goo is attracted to players, so as long as nobody goes near the HVAS, there should be no reason for the "blue goo" to come down upon them and kill them.
Very nice piece of intel there MB - Thanks!
So if we drop the pets & move, maybe attack from range (but constantly moving) we should be mostly OK. -

Well at least RAM is cheapish. Hope it continues to work for you. We'll see tonight when I cast sonic shields on ya

I have some spare stuff laying around. E, if you tell me what exactly it is you have, I might be able to just send you some stuff at no charge.
Well, it appears that the problem lies with my motherboard...at least that is what I am thinking.
I ran some additional tests and now the ram chips that were fine are now showing errors.
I am not having as many slowdowns - Luna & I ran our weekly static team without a problem, but soon after we finished, I was hit with a slowdown.

Hmmm either of those would explain the problems your having. I hope it's just the RAM though! Good luck on the rest of the testing.

Ok - so I have the 3 warburg nukes, a full set of shivans, a full set of amys, an hvas, 3 imps, an envenomed dagger, plus I found some temp shields that were tucked away... (not much time left on them though)

Not sure if you already do this, so I'll just make the suggestion.
Do you have dual core? If so start COH with renderthread 1. This splits the work between 2 CPUs and it does help. Before I did this, the temperature for my 1st core was 70 C while the other 3 cores were 40 C. After COH started with renderthread 1, core 1 and 2 were 50 C and the rest were 40 C.
Do you have any programs that monitor temperature? If not, get speedfan. Check your CPU and GPU temps to make sure your fans are cooling properly. 75 C and above, you may want to clean your heatsink and fans or replace them.I might have figured out my problem (at least partially) - I ran a ram test & got back some errors - now I need to isolate if it is a single chip or a physical problem with the mother board.Quote:Originally Posted by Master-Blade
For at least the last two years, CoH already boots with the secondary thread enabled by default. There is no longer any need to use the command, and it does nothing. If you are still seeing a difference with it on and off, it must be due to whatever else you have running at the same time using the extra resources.
Truthfully, my comp is old - it was built in 2006 & was not really "high end" at the time, but it was the best I could get for the price I wanted to pay. I have swapped out some components over the years, but the basic log-jam is the MB & CPU (Pentium D 2.8). -

Tuesday's a hard sell for me unless we commit to breaking after 90 mins/2hrs max. If so, then I can prolly attend if I get home in time. If I miss Tuesday, well obviously Wed's no good. Thanks for hosting as always, E.
I want to get to the half-way point, so tomorrow we can finish up in a timely manner. -
