Its that time again.... and once again the universe is messing with me.
It was bad enough that I was going to be a little late getting back from coaching girls softball, but then my hockey game was moved from Sunday to Tuesday so now I am triple booked and will need someone to step it up and take the lead this week since I will be engaged in RL PvP until almost 11pm.

(Spoiler Alert)
July 6th will be Tanker Tuesday #69.
Leave the armor on the shelf because it will be smokin' on the wall.
No need for toggles either as the combined sexy of all tanker teams will send the enemies packin'
Net's (war) chest is overflowing, beware of gifts falling out.
more details to follow later. -

you and net are total rockstars running this for me this week!
Task Force Spread Eagle clocked in at 2:02. Started with 7 ended with 6. 2 Tanks, 2 Defenders and 2 Controllers (the blaster left).
Premature Detonation went from 22 to 25. No complaints here. -

Congratz Gramps!!! From what I'm told, grandkids are more fun cause you can spoil em and send em home again without having to deal with the consequences!!

There is nothing wrong with someone RP'ing thier character, just dont expect too much coming back at you. And please no CAPS spamming battle cries. *Yeah im looking at you GIGA LOBSTER.

My secret stash is under 20 as well. An EoE Farm is definately needed redside.
-
I would vote for Hess or Katie ( I wonder if this got fixed so she increases levels again instead of always level 34)....
But I am upgrading to Win7 so I will be offline for a little bit, hopefully not til next Wednesday but it is Windows. -
E6850 (Core2Duo 3.0G) and a GTX 275 (OC but throttled back to stock for thermal reasons)
I have run it 1920x1050 100% detail and just about everything else maxed and get 20-30fps blue and 15-20 redside fps outside. Inside missions its 30-40fps. -
Quote:We completed with 7. It was tough, but doable. Even with 4 of us in part 2, there were alot of stacking Ruin Mages.Originally Posted by Heraclea
I don't really think I was blaming anybody, but frankly I doubt that the current version is playable with any entertainment value on a full team. There were too many stacking Ruin Mages, too many stacking holds, too much forced AFK while you wait to die. I am even more certain that it couldn't be completed with a full team all of whose members are 10-15. It certainly seems like it needs some adjusting.
I regret anything I said that caused anyone any pain; that was not intended. But I was not having fun at all by that time. And it was my understanding that the TF disbanded by general consensus that it could not be completed and wasn't fun any more.
I wouldn't blame anybody but myself: rather than a team of eight we should have run two teams of four. Then again, that was my first time running the new version, and in future tries I'm not taking more than three or four. If there's a magic strategy for getting past the door, I don't know what it is.
Should I have split into smaller teams? Maybe. I asked for leaders for the runs and got 3 volunteers besides myself. I picked 2 at random thinking we would have 12 or so people doing the runs. I did not expect 19-20. Tanks dont exactly shine at level 15 (low def/low resists), but thats part of what makes victory all the sweeter. For the record, the 7 man all tank team beat one of the TFT (mixed) teams for time. It is possible, but as out 40 some odd deaths (Witty died first) will atest, it is difficult.

While Champion does have people from all over the world, it is a west coast server. Which makes this time of morning a little quiet. It will ramp up slowly and is usually pretty hopping at nights. Try to get to the Champion BMT channel (will need an invite).

And the trick for taking out our shadowselves. Confuse =P
I still had my "Nectar" power from Val's Day. AoE Confuse, and it was super effective =)
Shame it was of limited use against the Ruin Mages. -

772 badges now
Ditto.
657 Redside.... thats 1429 total.
Because the 1400 Club is twice as nice. =P -
Army of Meh:
Fire Melee/Dark Armor
I guess it helps having being a bit of a lol-brute build, but I mowed down my replicas in short order with only 1 small purple and 1 yellow. -
That was fun =P
I know we started with 3 good sized Posi Teams...
My squad of 7 finished in about 1:51 for the first half.
4 of us stayed to run the second half, 3 of us finished it at about 2:20.
Ruin Mages suck. 3-4 Ruin mages in a group really suck.
But I regained by badging throne with those 2 badges, leapfrogging Cinnamon again and standing tall at 772 (and 657 red side).
Thanks to every on that showed up, and especially those that ground it out.
Next month is Almost Sexy Tanker Tuesday #68.
July will be Sexy Tanker Tuesday #69.

No, but you keep your powers up to 5 levels above the level you are exemplared to. So at level 15 you get powers through level 20.

My two cents on i17:
I give it a 7 (of 10). And thats manly for the 2 new story arcs on each side which are awesome. Bacon wrapped awesome.
I as a little disappointed with the ease of soloing an Army of Me... but then again I am lol FireMelee/Dark Armor brute. But still, the writing for both sides is top notch, even the NPC dialog, custom maps, and the multi-path dialog choices. (and dramatic foreshadowing to the Coming Storm and Going Rogue)
The market upgrades I am used to having had them for a month + on test.
Ultra-mode is nice. Adds a bit to hopping around. My GTX275 does just fine with it.
Split Posi... meh. I dont thing thats the change we wanted.
Emailing stuff... ok kinda neat, but it can be abused as more self storage.
Borked Hami... ok how do you screw that up. Same for the market being down. That is just sloppy.
Pistols and Demons..... double ok. Average sets with some novelity. I am glad that the devs aren't power creeping.

That should only run you about 700M for 5 LOTGs. Pocket change =P
I don't think I have that many in stock right now(3, maybe 4), perhaps you need to shop at Bronx-mart. -
Quote:The old Posi is available via flashback still. "The New Recruits".Originally Posted by Over_Knight
what ? old posi is gone .. </starts to weep> i never knew they where gonna do away with it ( guess i need to read the memo's more )
i know this is a tanker thing , but i remember my first posi.. everyone quit about 1/2 way through except 2 of us playing controllers w/out travel powers. think it took us 6+ hour to complete it.
glad to see that it's being revamped thoo. looking forward to a Tanker tues with ya ( will be my first tft .. so i'm kinda excited. -
Its that time again Champion. Tanker Tuesday is here.
And with i17 live, I figure we can welcome in the new issue with some TaskForce love.
Time permitting, we will run both halves of Positron's TaskForce tonight for those that want to.
Looking ahead to Tanker Tuesday #69 next month, I have a nice war chest banked again, so there will be prizes next month. But I haven't settled on a theme yet, so toss out any ideas you might have so I can weave something together June.
Tank on.

Tanker Tuesday #68
May 4th
IP Gate in KR
8pmC/9pmE
Champion Server -
Uber greens borked the blue side one as well. =P
-
Since there are no blooms, just pop some EoEs when fighting Hami in mission 4.
Another easily solved mystery. =P
And what's wrong with Mo badges? Challenges are fun. -
New fun bug from last night:
I had 3 copies of Summon SnowBeast from the winter event.
I used 1 of them fighting Protean, but it removed all 3 from my powers. =(
I think I have multiple "Rock" temp powers on another character to see if it applies to all powers that we can have duplicates of. -
769. +70 badges in one night.
Just need the 2 new posi badges and I will be back to just needing the IoP, BH and Passport. -
So next week is a double dose of New Posi then?
