I respeced out of fly into SS after i13 was released that made raptor pack available for purchase. I also prefer psionic mastery to fire mastery due to IW (even clicky one). And I keep both GI ans SI: GI is a good placeholder for LotG 7.5, karma KB prot and Kismet +6%

All west cost servers are down!

DOOOOOOOM!

I'd argue that the 52 (at least I think that's what it is now) merits for blueside Hamidon raids is likely the best ratio. Especially considering the 35 minute or under times Justice has been running lately.

[/ QUOTE ]

I'd disagree with that. Considering amount of people you have to bring to raid, the number of DE monsters you have to kill to spawn Hami (and time associated with it), organization and the fact that The Hive is full 20 minutes before scheduled time, these 53 merits become not that lucrative as 39 merits LGTF gives.

[ QUOTE ]
20mins is not doable if your not allowing for mish fails, those are a must for a true speed lgtf than 20mins is doable

[/ QUOTE ]

You can fail 2 missions on LGTF: first and third. If you failed both of them, you getting reduced merit reward at the end of TF. OP allows to fail ONE mission.

[ QUOTE ]
No, they were "fixed" to make sure they always warn you.

Pretty sure you can drop most/all of them, though./

[/ QUOTE ]

Who reads mission description anyway?

Bane's Poisonous Ray is only ranged with no delivery tag

The same thing happens on many if not all TFC task forces, not only Synapse

Any plans to fix ITF lag or it is with us forever?

Nice! We ONLY had to wait 3 issues for global color bug fix.

i know we have ran every TF commander TF in under an hour cept posi (75 mins). As for Eden , i remember a 6:56 and for Katie 13:46. I dont the scenies so believe it if you will. We did a 25 min rsf but that was before soft spawn'n was fixed. Im still pretty proud of the 39 min manti and 49 Sis Tfs.

Looks like I don't have the screenshot featuring rare appearance of Two Girls - One Cup on our teams

Got it now!

Without second guessing what Toona wants to do with this I would suggest 5 different TF/SFs that can be chosen, all of which can be run under 45 mins.

<ul type="square">[*]Statesman's Task Force [*]Lord Recluse's Strike Force[*]Imperious' Task Force [*]Lady Grey Task Force [*]Dr Kahn Task Force[/list]

[/ QUOTE ]

I would eliminate the Statesman TF and the LGTF from the list for fairness because of the key drop on the STF and the hostage placement in the LGTF. Sometimes it seems everything is right up front and you get the key or the AV spawned right away and other times it seems like every mob needs killin' and every nook and cranny needs searchin'. Those variables, to me, don't make it an even playing field for each team, regardless of the total completion time.


When PoJ ran the STF as a Time Force event, they had a judge on each team who stopped the clock at the "Mission Complete" ding of the mission before you have to find the key and restarted it as soon as they key was found. They automatic in-game timer provides a nice screen shot and means you don't need a judge on each team, but it leaves the issue of some teams getting luckier than others.

[/ QUOTE ]

Well, following this logic, you would have to exclude all TFs/SFs from this list.

ITF: different map layout of 2nd mission
KTF: random glowie placement in 3rd mission
RSF: random placement of tech in 1st mission

I think the LG, Khan and STF posted are the best times for those TFs. As for the ITF its close if not the best. Not to shabby considering every TF is come as you are / who you wanna play.

[/ QUOTE ]

I'll look if i have more screenies.

Edit: I think I might have screenie with Iggy, Zar and Ra

Here it goes...

Speeden. Unfortunately, Eden doesn't give completion box to everybody (as well as TFC task forces), so, you have to trust Pum on this one. If you don't, here is 30 seconds slower with completion box Another Speeden

Hess and Another Hess

Lowbie Trash ITF. It isn't record time per se.
When our team was finally set up, common sentiment among our 50s was something like this: "Lowbie trash team..., well, at least no "randoms"...". Everybody was prepared for a bumpy ride and all were surprised with how smooth it went.
I want to point on 2 things here:
1) All sidekicks were in high 30s - low 40s
2) All different ATs on that ITF

RSF... I heard about 25-30 minutes runs. I didn't have too much exposure to RSF, so this is my best. Iggy and Zar were planning to go play CA and decided to join this RSF at last minute. So, this is probably why it went so fast: they were in a hurry to finish it and play CA.
As always, great "brooting" by Iggy and Ra!

While we are not running TFC task forces on regular basis, except of Manticore and Numina, I think these are good times for Sister Psyche and Synapse

[ QUOTE ]
The 5th Column Strike Force (aka Barracuda Strike Force) is now very fixed.

When you go to Axis America dimension, the troops are Axis America and not the 5th Column (thanks, Devs!).

The MM click power works. Reichsmann didn't once go into Unbreakable mode (thanks, Devs!).

And the SF is now worth 30 Merits (thanks, Devs!).

[/ QUOTE ]

Still, IMO, 30 merits isn't enough for this SF

I think, only Mind Control attacks are not positional, illusion control are positional

iam a 24 vet player, and now my 50s have nothing to do. i go to PI and no one there, then to RWZ and nothing. finally i step into Atlas Park and everyone is there doing boring farms. Game should be renamed to "City of Atlas Park AE". Since most players are in one building trying to Power Level.

Even if i try to stay away from AE, i still can't find or get enough people to do regular missions... Gonna have to move on to another game looks like...

DOOOM!!!!

Happy Birthday

Just curious: why people aren't slotting Mind Link with Membranes?

The last STF I did, had the repairmen replace a defeated tower in a different location than where the original tower stood. They rebuilt it closer to where the flier patrols.

Not only that, but in our attempt, we took out the flier 4 times in 10 minutes, it continually respawned within seconds of us taking it out. I am positive the 20 minute cycle was broken in that attempt.

Sorry, Toona.

How about this?
