Tonight everyone around 8.30, there's a big bunch from the Echelon SG with the mission ready to go, so we may get 6-10 spawns, all being well

Cool Gore [breaths a sigh of relief]
Welcome to the team for Monday Xtream, and remember no faceplanting like you so admirably did every 5 mins on Moonfire recently.
DJ as also not free tonight but I've a fill from the Echelon (Phobos, Nicey or Raz), so all sorted

Shock

Thanks for the warning Gore. We'll see how things are tomorrow and hope all is well. Otherwise we'll have to grab a last minute tank fill, and hope for the best. I'm sure it shouldn't be a prob if it happens that way.
Phob's - think Kinetic is actually in mate, but I'll chat in game if different
Xem - no prob about Monday, looks like Xtream can grab your space if you defo can't make it (is it a defo or a maybe??)

Shock

Alpha Ray not free now on Saturday, so your Empath Kinetic has the space mate. Cool.
Alpha has confirmed Monday.

Shock

Ta Uzzi.
This will free up a space for Fish on Monday night with his Grav/Rad. Looks like we've plenty of Rad on the Monday night. To balance the teams I may play my Grav/Rad on Saturday (as we've a blaster already), then my Elec/Elec on Monday. Sounds better to me

This will be such fun!

The list is as follows, but not sure if everyone is free, and happy to get a couple of reserves down. Would also like to run it on Sat and Mon (baring RL getting in the way), even if the Sat run is successful (as have a couple of toons I wouldn't mind getting it on).

Could you confirm your availability and let me know if you're free for Sat and/or Mon. Reserves will be used to fill spaces on either day.
So far Uzzi and DJ are free (both or either days?) and Defcon and Gore 'should' be ok (happy to help you level your brute if you want Gore).
Thx all

-Shock

Aye, good point. Will repost with listed team and slots for reserves

-Shock

Planned run cancelled tonight as some peeps unavailable. Plan to rerun Sat 16th and/or Sun 17th. 8/8.15 pm.
Please confirm availability if poss. Thanks all

-Shock

Yup, pants recipe for me again, but that's the norm
Nice quick TF though, was fun.

-Shock

Count me in with my scrapper Blade of Fury, lvl39 Kat/Reg

-Shock

Think the Echelon SG are very interested in doing this and could hopefully generate enough SG people for two or three spawns. With enough others this could be such a laugh! Just need a date now!!!

I'm always up for SF's if free. Done them on most of my toons, but always happy to run again as they are usually good fun. Personally can only do 8pm starts, so may only get onto late ones.

Was a great run, so hopefully the next one will be successful. How quick was that flyer respawn !!! 10 seconds!! At first I thought it had fully healed itself.

AV's dropped really quickly too, so dam output is good on this team. But overall was a fun attempt, and as usual Gore - great tanking!

-Shock

No problem Baccarac. We had a suitable replacement available, and did really well until all four patron AV's attacked at once. Two of us dropped quickly.
Still went on to finish.
Overall, great team work, and up till that point hardly any risk. Tree room went perfectly too.
Hopefully better luck on Sunday night.

If we can get a team, with a good tank (Gore being a great example), then happy to run again next Friday.

-Shock

Count me in with an elec/elec blaster
Will be my first, so looking forward to it

'Slaps Phobs for using my post for his event'
Love to join you mate, just can't do daytime gaming unfortunately, evenings only for me. If you fancy an evening run I'll always be up for it.

-Shock

Maelwys has made some good points concerning the benefits of having 2 tanks at the same time. I can see great benefits especially in the tree room as the squishies can remain we out of sight during the vine clear, then help out for the final AV drop. And the Inner Circle can be a real pain if multiple AV's are aggro'd. So from this perspective, bring along your tank SpyCho.
Ta for the advice M.

Heyman - yup, FS is a big big agro magnet. Thanks for confirming. (Ventrilo server - that one went above my n00b head )

-Shock

Nice and very true comments there Maelwys (and Miiru), and its a shame I couldn't find a space for your sonic/Elec defender, as experience and good play is the key to being successful on this challenging run.
Looks like we've a fire/kin on both sessions, so will need to make sure the imps are handled so as not to cause un-necessary agro, especially when the team are mid-battle against a mob already. From my STF and MoSTF experience, blasters haven't been the ones to normally drop first, but I do find them challenging to keep alive. I think blasters know they are vulnerable, so good players take this into account and are more reserved in their game play, especially avoiding large mob agro which would mean their demise. Controllers potentially offer the best powersets in a team, however have the greatest risk of agro if their powers fail. As I'm likely to play my Grav/Rad, a poor hold can pose a major risk tbh to myself, and therefore the success of the run. I'm hoping we have enough experience and cool heads in the group to give us the best chance possible. And yes, scrappers are always cocky, I do it myself, charge into combat in the belief you'll be definately standing at the end

DJ - no problem about Friday mate, and soz, your scrapper would be good (got my wires crossed there)

Friday space therefore goes to SpyCho, and I based on the team setup your Scrapper would probably be the best option for their damage output (what do people think of 2 tanks?, better than a scrapper and tank?)

Friday 29th Feb:
1. -Shockwave Grav/Rad Troller
2. Cryostasis Ice/Energy/Ice Tank or Elusive Blade DB/SR Scrapper
3. Defcon_Kid Rad/? Troller
4. Xemulus FF/Psi Defender
5. Gorerider SS/Invuln Tank
6. Baccarac Empathy/Dark Blast Defender
7. Heyman Fire/Kin Controller
8. D. Structor fire/fire blaster

Sunday 2nd March
1. -Shockwave Grav/Rad Troller or Elec/Elec Blaster
2. Demonic Judgement Kat/Regen Scrapper
3. Uzzi Dual Blades/SR Scrapper
4. Defcon_Kid Rad/? Troller

6. Gorerider SS/Invuln Tank
7. Alpha Ray Rad/Rad Defender
8. Liqour fire/kin troller

Reserves:
1. Sirius, pure empath

These actually look like good teams, plenty of rad for AV's, good mix of healing from rads and empath, and hopefully enough damage output, plus a kin too.
Cool.

-Shock

Ammendment to list:
Alpha Ray available for Sunday run
Cannot contact Icenii, so 3 spaces can now be filled from the other reserves. To share out the spaces fairly I propose the following:

Friday:
7. Heyman Fire/Kin Controller
8. D. Structor fire/fire blaster

Sunday:
7. Alpha Ray Rad/Rad Defender
8. Light Within illusion/radiation or liqour fire/kin troller

Reserves:
1.Cryostasis Ice/Energy/Ice Tank or Elusive Blade DB/SR Scrapper
2. Sirius, pure empath

Please confirm this is okay with everyone
