Sorry we failed this time. I blame the squishy blaster... oo thats me
Damn Ghost Widow, normally I'm away in time....more purples next Sunday.
Had 4 deaths, but avoidable next time hopefully.
Otherwise was a good run in around 3 hours.

Will be rerunning TF on Sunday 19th, so please confirm your attendance.
Gore is 50:50 atm, so we may need to rejig team a little. I'll know more towards the end of the week.
So far I know Summerfly is confirmed (and me of course )

We'll get you that badge Defcon!

Thanks

Shock

Looks like a team juggle is in order, so I'll need to rethink the best option to maximise the chance of success. Had a few tells earlier in the week offering themselves, so this will help with the final team.
Will no doubt now be drawing upon reserves, so if you are a reserve then please make sure you're available tonight. Will be team gathering around 8/8.15 tonight.

1. -Shockwave Elec/Elec Blaster
2. Gorerider SS/Invuln Tank
3. Defcon_Kid Ice/Rad Controller
4. Target AR/Energy Blaster
5. Summerfly fire/kin Controller
6. Protector Bot Emp/Emp Defender
7. Dark Alex Spines/Regen Scrapper
8. DualStrike ?/? Scrapper

Reserves:
1. Ms Newton Grav/Emp Controller
2. DJ - a choice of toons to fit

May work ok with this setup. Good damage output, just no bubbler which is a shame.

Shock

Will be BST Time Alex (so currently GMT+1).

Soz Xtream, bit of a d'oh moment there. Yes you've a squishy PB, that's the one! Just stay hidden under Gore's foot, probably the best place.

Shock

Won't get there in time, so unless you happen to start late I'm going to have to miss it

Shock

Thx Alex, added your scrapper to the list. Welcome on board.
No probs Captain Alpha. When you're ready let me know. We can also offer advice throughout if you're not sure at any point on the best method.
I've added you as a reserve Target. I'm sure we can get you the badge at some point soon. Managed to succeed 4 times out of the last 5 runs, including doing it with only 7 toons and having a tank dc against Recluse (lol it was fun). Does help having one of the best tanks in the game with us

Shock

Thx for the offer Captain Alpha. In all honesty, you can't risk a non lvl50 for an MoSTF run, especially with the AV AOE and PBAOE attacks and the likelihood of a quick instant death. Done about 12-15 runs so far, and at no time does one or more player get caught in an area effect and be reduced to single figure HP's. A non-lvl 50 is likely to cop it straight away. As I'll be running these weekly, happy to reserve your empath a space for the following week or when you've dinged the big 50. Hope you understand - nothing worse than dying and letting the team down.
Ta mate

Shock

Hey all.
Doing the next MoSTF run this Sunday and looking to fill a couple of spaces plus get reserves.
Having now done this a number of times successfully, we have a few experienced players on the team, so should have a great chance again!
Extra challenge this time is having a Warshade on the team, oooooo

Team:
1. -Shockwave Elec/Elec Blaster
2. Gorerider SS/Invuln Tank
3. Defcon_Kid Ice/Rad Controller
4. Xtream WS
5. B-Lizzard (let me know toon and global for your bro)
6. Xemulus Illusion/Storm Controller
7. Dark Alex Spines/Regen Scrapper
8. Empath space

Reserves:
1. Target AR/Energy Blaster
2.

So we need a scrapper and empath. Experience with an STF run would be ideal as this needs to be done with zero deaths and no temps, but happy to advise along the way.
Thanks

Shock

I'll see if I can come along, although need to desparately lvl my brute for a LRSF run tomorrow.
You do know that the hunt in Faultline can totally mess up the race. If you miss that night period then 20 mins later.........race over

I'd bring along my Kat/Reg Scrapper who I think needs it for TF Commander.
Edit - scrapper is lvl44

Shock

Aye, lots of us have now had plenty of experience with this TF, and are doing it successfully on most runs now (4 times out of my last 5). I've got the badge on all my 50's so far, but plan on scrapping it and using my empath once I ding 50. Obviously happy for you to try other toons Defcon. Next run will be Sunday, so speaking to a few for initial places atm and will post up spaces. Let me know a toon you wish to try it with and I'll reserve you a space.

Shock

Great work guys, another successful run under the belt!
Thanks for Lal as a late filler too.
Was fun as usual.
Will post up next run soon.

Shock

Cool Defcon, thx for confirming.
Happy to add you as Reserve Prot X. In all likelihood we've a scrapper place which is only 50% confirmed, so we could fill that with your blaster. No need for Emp / Tank, only one needed of both.
@Lal a 2nd reserve with a bubbler
BTW - will probably run these every week as generally they are popular. I've also two 40+ toons so looking forward to the chance to scrap and emp this challenging TF.

Will be a 8.15/8.30 start (got a SG photo session first).
Ta

Shock

Right, still on for Sunday.
Roster as follows:

Sunday 6th April:
1. Me - Probably Grav/Rad Controller
2. Gorerider - SS/Invuln Tank
3. WarEngine - Blaster
4. Lion Hart - Scrapper (tbc)
5. Kinergy - Scrapper
6. Heyman - His 2nd Fire/Kin Controller
7. B-Lizzard - Rad/Rad Controller
8. Empath Space - Defcon?? TBC

Happy for some reserves, and need to confirm empath.
See you tonight

Shock

Would love to join up but 7pm is too early for me, plus not available Thursdays. Now Saturday 8pm would be great

Shock

Sorry can't make it this early as inlaws over so not sure when I'll be online (not glazing salesmen at least!!! - phew )
Have fun, I'm sure you will ;-)

Shock

Awesome work guys. Considering we had a tank dc against Recluse and survived, then managed to continue run on Sunday with only 7 of us and finish it successfully. Was a feat in itself. Followed by another successfully run immediately afterwards (where I tanked for the first time on it plus dc'd against Scorpo). Great work all, fantastic work all in fact!!!


Will do another run on Sunday 6th to give others a chance at the badge, so for those players please confirm by Wednesday or will open it up for others.

Thanks for the fillers (Heyman and Fish) after Defcon had connection problems and B-Lizzard couldn't make it.

Sunday 6th April:
1. Me - Probably Grav/Rad Controller
2. Gorerider - SS/Invuln Tank
3. WarEngine - Blaster
4. Fosca - Scrapper
5. Kinergy - Scrapper
6. Heyman - His 2nd Fire/Kin Controller
7. B-Lizzard - Rad/Rad Controller
8. Empath Space

Thanks again all.

Shock

Update for all.
With Gore having a major dc in the final battle against Recluse, we're going to finish the last mission on Sunday 7pm. Have confirmed with Gore, Xem and Uzzi so far, but hopefully we can get the full team back together. As this will take 60-90 mins to complete, we're likely to start the Sunday run at 8.30/8.45pm
Soz for the delay guys.

Shock

Ooooo dilemma time.
Yes, Xem's bubbler is a great asset and is ideal in any team. I need to weigh up being fair on those posting early, so as a compromise, how about I post up a third run so get the extra players involved.

Was tinking something like this:

Sunday 6th April:
1. Me - controller / empath
2. Tank - prob Gorerider if free
3. WarEngine - Blaster
4. Fosca - Scrapper
5. Kinergy - Scrapper
6. Heyman - Fire/Kin Controller
7.
8.

In that way, I can get Xem on the Friday run for his bubbles, plus have a planned run for others. Obviously there are 2 spaces still free for the right toons (note - I wouldn't mind being the empath if I can get mine up in time).

On another matter, DJ has offered a different toon setup option for this Sunday run, as follows:
Sunday 30th March
1. Madame Red Stone/Fire tanker
2. Defcon_Kid Blaster
3. Xemulus FF/Psi Defender
4. Gorerider MA/SR Scrapper
5. Demonic Judgement Mind/Kin troller
6. B-Lizzard Rad/Rad Defender
7. Phobos- Empath
8. Sargatanas Dark/Invul Scrapper

Reasoning
1. Gives gore a rest on his tanker.

2. Too much Rad in team - the debuffs do very little to 54 AVs 1 rad and kin spam should be all we need

3. We get a 2 scraps 1 Blaster Balance, an SR and an Inv are less squishy against Mako and LR than my Regen, not to mention Aeon and the tree

4. Mind Holds turn Aeon into mush

5. With an inv/stone and SR all near or at the def cap with bubbles there should be no problem with melee toons getting wiped.

Sounds good to me, although I'll need to dust off my tank and get some Psi resist. I'll respec this toon tonight in preparation (anyone want to loan me some influence - my SG can vouch for me). Tanking the MoSTF - scary

Let me know if this sounds good to everyone?

Still keeping with current reserves for Fri/Sun although forgot to add Xtream to the list (sorry mate, my bad )

Shock

Thanks all for the reserve offers.

Current Reserves:
1. Sarganatas - Scrapper
2. WarEngine - Blaster?
3. Fosca - Scrapper
4. Kinergy - Scrapper
5. Heyman - Fire/Kin Controller

Seems we are overloaded with scrappers at the moment. Happy for scrappers to replace scrappers as more the two may not be ideal. Also think a single blaster is sufficient and what we need now is a group buffer, which currently makes me think Heyman's fire/kin would be perfect. Obviously I'll work on a first come first serve basis, so if any of the earlier poster's have other toons ready for a MoSTF run, then let me know. If not, then on the next organised run I'll put you guys at the top of the list.
Thx again

Shock

Just to confirm that I'll bring my Ice/Ice Blaster. The Iceman cometh to freeze all before him

Defcon- get back to work mate!

Shock

Well done matey.

Shock

Will likely do runs every two or three weeks as they are kinda fun in a stressful way
Will fill your space B-Lizzard, np mate.
Need the right toon as a replacement especially as we've easily enough scrappers tbh on this run and a blaster already.

Shock

Aiming at another double run to achieve success on this demanding TF. Hoping most from the original runs are free again, and based on responses have the following teams:

Friday 28th March
1. Plague Warrior Grav/Rad Controller
2. Mr Nice Scrapper (or rad/rad)
3. Uzzi Dual Blades/SR Scrapper
4. Gorerider SS/Invuln Tank
5. B-Lizzard Rad/Rad Defender
6. Kensa Klore Blaster
7. Phobos- Empath
8. Xtream

Sunday 30th March
1. Plague Warrior Grav/Rad Controller or other
2. Defcon_Kid Ice/Rad Controller
3. Xemulus FF/Psi Defender
4. Gorerider SS/Invuln Tank
5. Demonic Judgement Kat/Regen Scrapper
6. B-Lizzard Rad/Rad Defender
7. Phobos- Empath
8. Sargatanas Dark/Invul Scrapper

May need to review toons as we need enough damage output on the AV's near the end. First team has two scraps/one blaster, whereas second team has 2 scrappers.
We've an empath on both runs atm if phobos is available for both. Hopefully have enough rad on both too.
Please confirm your availability and the toon type to wish to play, or can bring along if we need to balance types.
I'm also looking for reserve places for both runs as undoubtedly some may pull out.
Sorry couldn't squeeze everyone on both runs (for those who asked). But spaces may become free if peeps pull out.

Put down a 8/8.30 start in case peeps were squeezing in a saucer raid first.
Thx all

Shock

I may also be available as a filler from 7.45ish onwards if a planned MoSTF run doesn't happen.
@-shockwave (not to be mistaken for the other shockwave)

Shock

So close on both runs, but unfortunately the same result. Only a single death last night, so the closest yet, just need to make sure single AV's only to minimise risk. Flyer / LR was easily done (shame we didn't do this on Sat)
Thanks all for the attempt again.
As we have a good core group of around 10/11 of us doing this, will post up another double run Fri28 / Sun30 March assuming Gore doesn't mind double tanking duty. Will send out tells and then post up to fill any spaces.
Ta all

Shock

Great work organising it mate and thanks to all who turned up and prep'd missions.
Very good fun, and looking forward to the next run (with even more!)
