    On toons that don't have as much damage.. resorting to the lava trick works quite nicely. The damage from the lava is faster than his regeneration, even if he has a couple clones out. lol
    Pull him out of the big room: he doesn't regen and all of his clones spawn in the big room, so you don't even have to worry about them.

    Either / or - if you do it as a team, each team member must follow along (grabbing each mission & auto-completing them as you go).

    I did Ouro - I thought that was the only way... I did one hero & one villain so far.

Also, how hard is it to enable the alpha slot? I haven't logged in to my NA account since I19
    It is not difficult to get the alpha slot - the first run through though, I read everything & fought everything, so it took me almost 2 hrs. But after you get the hang of it, you can probably run it in under 30 mins. Oh, and you do need to have Going Rogue.

    Some of the EBs can be challenging based on your AT/Build.

    I travel over Christmas weekend, so that is pretty much out for me - not sure about New Years weekend.

    Anyway.. it was smooth sailing most of the time. We had a couple Dark Miasma on the team, and combined with the Force Fields, we barely got touched... until the ambushes at the end we finally had a fluke death (probably from some stray Missile AoE). Overall it was a lot of fun and we got a couple handfuls of Incarnate Shards along the way.

    I don't remember the exact completion time, but I think we ended with only that one death.
    I was having issues logging onto the CoH forums as well.

    Almost 3 hrs - we did not have a stealth/tp combo on the team, so we fought through everything: 2 hrs 49 min 55 secs with 1 death.

    I normally do not run any Master of... attempts mid-week - my runs are usually Saturday night (occasionally Friday depending on my Static Team schedule).

    I am sure that others do mid-week runs - keep checking the forums & the various in game channels.

    ------------------------------------

    Thanks for joining everyone, it was a lot of fun. Wish I would have had the time to get my alpha slot prior so I could have cashed in on the incarnate salvage, but I am ready for next run!

    Next week I will be out of town, so I will not be hosting a Master of... run. I'll have a post up for the following week soon(ish).

    Also, remember Heroic Wednesdays for Reformed Villains this week is the Lars Hansen Story Arc (through Ouro) followed by the Hess TF.

    Look for the sign-up thread later today.
  7. Just a reminder...


    This is Tonight!

    Let's make is a good start to December!
  8. Mr E-Man

    Mids

    I DL'd & did a fresh install of Mids today from the website (updating kept crashing, so I uninstalled the old version first).

    Seems to work OK - at least I didn't have any issues.
  9. It was a good night!

    We did need to recruit a couple of people from the various channels so we could get going - many people were at the Hami raid that was going on at the time, so we wound up running with two teams of six.

    The Team:

    Mr E-Villain
    Strike Girl
    Zane Scorchin
    Queen of Underworld
    D Mon Destroyer
    Infinite Agony


    Moonfire TF: 12/1/2010

    Thanks for joining everyone! I had a lot of fun.

    Next week is a two-parter: The Lars Hansen Story Arc (through Ouroboros) which unlocks Ernesto Hess & his TF for the second part of the night.

    I will have a post up soon. I hope to see everyone there.

    Mission: Master of the Barracuda Strike Force – Thus Spoke the Reichsman
    Contact: Barracuda
    Location: Grandville

    Date & Time: Friday, December 3 @ 10:30PM Eastern / 7:30PM Pacific

    Level Range: 45-50

    Combatants: 5th Column, Freedom Phalanx, Longbow, Paragon Police Department

    Arch-Villain(s)/Hero(es): Ms Liberty, Numina, Schadenfreude, Invincible Reichsman, Black Scorpion, Scirocco, Captain Mako, Ghost Widow, Reichsman

    1: Neon Widow: Widow -or- Dark Willow: Grav/Psi Dominator
    2: Marvel: TBA
    3: Childe: Dark/Dark Corruptor
    4: Captain Power: Eng/Eng Blaster
    5: Miss Heavenly: TBA

    8: MB: TBA

    Alternates:

    Turg: TBA
    Customs: TBA
    Paragon: TBA
    Blue Bullet2.2: Kat/Reg Scrapper
    Psyche's friend: Emp/??? Defender




    Strike Force Stats & Info:
    • This Strike Force requires a 4-person team to start & I will set it to No Temp Powers (which includes Veteran Reward Powers) & 0 Defeats
    • 9 missions (4 talks)
    • Badge(s): Arbiter & Master of the 5th Column Strike Force for No Deaths/No Temp Powers (no guarantees :smirk: )
    • Merit Reward: 30
    • Please note, this SF ends after the final Recluse Talk (not after the Reichsman mission)
    Mr E-Man’s MoBSF Mission Notes:
    • General Instructions: Stick together, listen to instructions & do not be afraid to offer your opinion on strategy!
    • Mission One: Clear the ambushes in the end room (before going out to Ms Liberty).
    • Mission Two: Pull Numina out of the room to be cautious.
    • Mission Three: Talk
    • Mission Four: Fight the specified mobs/ambushes. Use the Ouro portals or the Flyer to exit after Invincible Reichsman spawns - the mission will time-out without anyone in
    • Mission Five: Stick together & clear until the key drops - doing so around the dig area is best since the door is there.
    • Mission Six: Talk
    • Mission Seven: Talk
    • Mission Eight - Part One: While this mission is not so much hard, there are a lot of chances for deaths to occur. First clear out all of the 5th Column & take care of any ambushes that occur when one of the AVs is rescued. Sac the AV, find the next AV, take out the ambush, etc.
    • Mission Eight - Part Two: Grab your temp powers & don't be afraid to use them - you can recharge them (all except the Fail Safe Guns -4 uses- which only Stalkers can use). Stalkers gain Max Stealth to enter the two gun rooms to nuke the ambushes, Corruptors/Dominators have attack/holds for the ambushes, Brutes/Veats gain a team End Drain resistance power, MMs can keep Reichsman from phasing.
    • Mission Eight - Part Three: We will be using the tunnel method. Reichsman will not leave the end room, so exiting into the tunnels when the ambushes start will keep them confined in a small area, making it easier for us to take them out safely. Everyone stay close & keep buffs/heals/debuffs running.
    • Mission Nine: Talk (Remember the SF completes after this talk, not after Reichsman is defeated)
    • Obviously this is still a work in progress.
    Join in the fun & try to become the Master on this special Friday night Master of...run! Sign-up here or send a global to @Mr E-Man

    This is Tonight!

    ...and don't forget, Issue 19 went live yesterday, so if you have not run the updater recently, you may want to hit it early to avoid delays.

    Proto-Zero will be leading Team #2 tonight - thanks for volunteering!
  13. Sorry I missed these last night. Doc Buzzsaw's arcs are fun.
  14. Also, since Luna cannot make it this week, I need to ask for a volunteer to lead Team #2 (since it looks likely that we will have 2 teams).

    Any takers? This is a rather easy one.

    Just for reference, this TF usually takes about 1 hour to complete (give or take 10 mins).
  16. Luna - I am going to have to back out for tonight - I have a terrible cold & cannot keep my head up.

    Sorry
  17. I updated the OP with the full list of TFs - of course this is subject to change, especially with Issue 19's impending launch which includes some new content that I will add into the list at some point.

    Yeah - you'll be seeing them during the upcoming winter event (I have a storage bin filled with them) - They all look alike, but they sort when you store them - I believe the one shown is a Gift of Life inspiration.

    Well, we had one death on an otherwise very good attempt...it happens - unfortunately, we did not have any status protection buffs to offset Reichsman's 100 mag stun.

    Thanks for joining everyone it was fun!

    For all of the alternates that showed up, I am sorry that we did not get a second team going, but as I mentioned, without someone offering to lead a second team, I really have no options.

    I will post up something for next weekend - day/event TBA...
  21. Lots of people are interested in this SF...

    We can run two teams, but I will need someone to volunteer to lead Team #2...any takers?
