I'm just going to add another idea to the mix.
What if you pull Reichsman out to the doorway so that the ambushes will bottleneck and get stuck in the hallway behind him? A couple brutes keeping the ambushes stuck might lessen the accidental agro onto squishies.

It was a fun run last night, but ultimately we were unsuccessful in acquiring the Master of... badge.
Our first death occurred as we were clearing the final mission & "picked-up" Black Scorpion along the way - the ambush was overlooked/forgotten & took out one of the team.
We ended with 10 total deaths - not bad really, considering this was only the 4th time I had done this SF & we also did not have a stalker to help nuke the ambushes.
I think Nericus accounted for the most deaths...not that I was counting... :smirk:
It's all about having fun & learning for the next time!
Here is where I would post a screenshot & list the team, but I forgot to upload the pic last night, so I'll add it & the team info in later. :smirk:
The following are just some mental notes that I took from last night's run:
Mission One: How many ambushes are in that end room (before we go out to Ms Liberty)? My feeling is that we need clear the ambushes as they were following us through the doors on the way out.
Mission Two: A stealth/TPer would be useful, other wise, everything went well. We should pull Numina out of the room to be a little more cautious.
Mission Three: Talk
Mission Four: Using the Ouro portals to exit after Reichsman spawns is good...using your own Ouro portal closes it on the brute that is following you to it...
Mission Five: Stick together & clear until the key drops - doing so around the dig area is best since the door is there. A stealth/TPer would be useful here as well.
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 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 gains a team End Drain resistance power, MMs can keep Reichsman from phasing.
Mission Eight - Part Three: Well, without a Stalker aboard last night, I was thinking that we might have wanted to have some Ouro portals open as an escape route, but since we had already had a death, we did not do that. What we did do was with two butes one tanked Reichsman while the other grabbed as much of the ambush aggro as possible. We did have deaths, but it worked OK.
Mission Nine: Talk (Remember the SF completes after this talk, not after Reichsman is defeated)
Obviously this is still a work in progress.
Great attempt everyone! Thanks for joining. -
Quote:Just the one sound? heh - back in the day, all the sounds continued to loop after activation...Originally Posted by Master-Blade
E, you might want to reconsider bringing Mr E-Villain for tonight.. Invincibility is bugged as of today's patch.
The sound that normally plays when the power is first toggled on, instead loops repeatedly every time there are foes in range to give you the extra buff. It's VERY annoying.
I can tolerate it.. but I wanted to let you know ahead of time.
Edit:
...from everyone in range! :smirk: -
lol
BTW I went ahead & created Proto Charge: Shield/Elec Tanker. I'll start getting some day job badges for the next run...

Folks, please support Captain Power, Kinetic Kitten, and our other Freedom authors and submit their arcs for the rewards program!
If we act cohesively on this, we might even get a good plug for all our people!
Edit: Details and stuff.
I think only the author can submit an arc:
Players can submit their completed arcs (in English) any time before 11:59 Central Time on October 11th, 2009 by emailing them to: CoH_ArchitectAwards@paragonstudios.com. -
There was a patch today, so try to run the updater before tonight's SF everyone!
Patch notes are not up yet, but I am pretty sure that this will eliminate the -1 TF setting, so things should be really fun tonight! -

Paragon Wiki: The 5th Column Overthrow Task Force -
You might want to adjust the date in the title to October...
Put me down as a tentative - not sure what my plans for Thursday are at this point. -
I'll be there with Beauty as usual.

It was fun last night regardless of the problems.
So, I'm already thinking about the next run...I'm not set in stone on this, but I am considering at Shields/Electric Tank. Figured this run we were short on tanks.
He/she will be very offensive oriented with both Shield Charge & Lightning Rod & all of the AoE damage electric does! -
Quote:Yes, the -1 setting does not -1 the AVs, it puts them at 49 instead of 52 or 53 (depending on the TF/SF).Originally Posted by Gen_Gintoki
Is this cause of the -1 setting? Well dam it I really need to get in a MoSTF and a MoRTF in before they fix this cheating. hehe
This should all be fixed on Wednesday as a new patch is hitting live that should correct this problem. Of course that means no -1 Mo... attempts...we'll be back to running them the "old fashioned way"! -
Where did you go to Myrdinn? You do realize, that you are not required to be the only person to volunteer to step aside to let another person join...
As it is, you stepped aside to allow Hela to join & Hela stepped aside to let 2DeVine Phoenix to join...

Sorry E, didn't meant to forget the "E" I just uploaded the file as you gave it to me. But I'll fix it. And as for the defeat all. I can change the defeat all too, thanks for the info, sorry it was annoying.

I just wanted to note this change currently on the test server:
Tasks- Level 54 Archvillains / Heroes should now appear in Task / Strike Forces again.
- Added restrictions to prevent player difficulty from affecting Task / Strike Forces
This was pointed out to me earlier today by Nericus, but I've been slammed at work all day. -

I just got off Freedom Cov and there were about 120-130 people on.
I tried to organize BSF, however out of 120 when you count the people who are at right level, replying, not busy and willing to do it, I had little luck getting it running.
Well we did the third respec instead with 4 villains. Was a fast and effective run too.
Think I just got to wait bit later for all those hundreds of people to /unhide themselves and come out of the mystical invisible void inside facemaker. -
