Sorry about Sunday folks this xmass event is too popular.

There is just too many people (including me) badge hunting at the moment.

We will try to organise this for tuesday or wedensday at 7.00pm but I will post when I speak to a few people to see what day suits the best.

Big badda gratz

Sunday afternoon/evening will be my first oportunity as I have friends from England staying over at the moment.

The xmass self rez temp power will really help with this also.

Our Sg would welcome you to, NightStalkers

We are a friendly active SG, highest in the UK based on prestige earned.

You can get me on @Silent-Knight

I will not however try to bribe you with infamy

The main thing is to have fun...........

Tell us more about your villains and their architype and lvl etc.

What you are interested in doing with an SG be it PVP, missions, Task forces, Raids.

What time of the day you usually play etc.

This will help you get an SG that suits YOU.

Welcome to Defiant

K folks, the time is getting close, however I am having some major DC issues, not only me but a few people I team with also. Hopefully the patch due today will fix this problem. There is just no point in doing this SF untill its fixed, its hard enough as it is without multiple people DC'ing.

Its a matter of how long it takes not a matter of if it fails

As Written above,

Im trying to guage peoples interest in this and at what times of the day/week people can meet to do it.

This is not (unfortunatley) a first come first serve basis, just more like a gathering of people interested.

Im my experience its is best to have some people in the team who have done it before, to help advise new people on the strategy as we move through the various missions and hopefully pass that experience on so new teams can be started.

This task force is tough, very tough, but it is now achieveable in around 4hrs with a good team maybe less.

Its impossible to fit everyone in but over time if the interest is still there I see no reason why everyone can't get a crack at this.

Shivans from Bloody Bay are required for every team, some teams might just need Warheads (chemical and Bio only) from Warburg depending on team make-up. Different teams just need different tactics.

So I will start.

Soul Finder lvl 50 Fire/Rad Corrupter (Shivans and both Warheads)
Daylight Warrior lvl 50 Necro/Dark MM (Shivans and all 3 Warheads)

Any night given a day or two notice from 7.00pm

Devs Fix It

If its WAI then sort it out cause its not fun and its not funny.

Thats around 30 people ya managed to bore to death today do ya really want to do that. So much fun in this game to be had, yet some tasks feel like a chore.

Sort It out like you did on heroes.

P.S. check Caleb, looks like its borked again.

Oh that was tough luck folks, the day that I saw it there was only about 6 prople in Grandville. All a few of us managed to do was watch it dissappear. That was at about 1.20pm one friday.
I will try to crawl outta bed tomorrow for an hour.

but Devs c'mon....does it really make any sense to have what basically (at least on Defiant) is an ultra-rare spawn fly off and leave unhappy players as opposed to it's sticking around, if not till defeated, at least for a reasonable amount of time?!

Heroes got the spawn rates of GM's raised and FIXED. The least they could have done was fix the Flier for villains. WAI I think not.

Done again, gratz to all the new people that joined and got their badges.

This run was
1/rad 1/kin 2 /thermal corrupters
1 brute
1 stalker
2 MM's

every run brings a new challenge, which makes them all the more interesting.

gratz mate well done

I cannot promise anything at this early stage but I might be able to help out.

I will reply closer to the time and let ya know.

You know your always welcome mate and it was our team that started the whole thing to begin with this time round . 7 vilains against 8 lvl 54 heroes will not be repeated ever again and for that I feel proud.

Though I dont want to take anything away from what everyone has learnt throughout all the various teams it all helped.

Not really the point I was trying to make Cynic.

The simple fact of this matter is that shivans benifit the team as a whole, and its not realy fair to ask all but one to go get them. Its quite simple to get them and there are those on the team very willing to help.

Its also not really fair to wait until a team is compedident enough and spent loads of hours to tackle this task force without shivans and without nukes and then ask for an invite. This is great in fact the best PVE content available to villains and we would love to take new people through this however it is very much depentand on the teams willingness to perform as a team and help as much as possible. Getting shivans is so easy with a team willing to help in everyway.

Dont get me wrong you will always be welcome to join us but you may just have to accept the fact that you will have to join in the team as a whole and not as a singular member of the team that refuses to help from the offset.

Please do not take this as anything else but a plea to reconsider 10mins of your time to go get shivans and join the best PVE content the game has to offer.

I cant even read over this as I am already late for a hero task force scheduled for 8.00pm

Edit:- and missed it

If a tree falls in a forest and there is no one there to hear it does it make a noise.

Numina and Synapse gone already

Sister Psyche, Manticore then Positron.

Shivans didn't kill any on there own and didn't really noticably damage any either, they did take away some aggro.

I agree positron is a pain but the rest go down much easier when he is dealt with.

2 brutes (not stone)
4 corrupters 2 rad 1 thermal 1 kin
1 /dark mm
1 /traps mm

2 people who had never tried it before 1 brute 1 mm.

The core team have spent a lot of time (a lot) getting this right. This means team play at extreme lvl's knowing when to do what and when, also building there lvl 50's for this end game content. That might not suit everyone but thats what we wanted to do. Its the best thing to do with a lvl 50 villain in my opinion.

Last nights teams success was a combination of a few other teams efforts and combining what was learnt from other failures and successes, to many to start to mention them all. Yous all know who you are anyway .

Last nights team just happened to notice that on one failed attempt at a pull we nearly had numina down and decided thay after a reset that we would try to pull again and if all came we would just stick to numina and see what happened, well we pulled all 8 again but stuck to numina and managed to get synapse also before we wiped. We might have done better if we had have expected to do so well as we would have been better prepared.

After that we where going to do the warhead rush when we decided to keep the warheads and try to get another couple of heroes with just shivans. I was trying to type what to do for the benifit of the new players when I turned round to see 3 shivans out and a 'Too late' message. That was quite funny and a bit of a panic. All we where trying to do was take out another 1 and possibly 2 heroes.

The team work that went on from here was the reason for our success, yes people died but got instantly rezzed we went from hero to hero in a perdetemined order. What happened was not what we where expecting but as the battle went on I could read OMG and similar forum censored things in the chat box and we eventually worked our way through the last 6 heroes in one go.

The teams ability to rez the dead helped of course but thats all part of the team play in knowing who to rez first and when. That might sound simple to know who to rez first but with up to 8 heroes on your tail its a bit more of a challenge.

We took down a 7th who made an unexpected appearance

Fighting the the vidicators in the 4th mission without shivans will be a good indicator of a teams chance of success with the final mission.

Well nukes will not be a prequisit for the teams that we will be doing this with anymore thankfully as it was a right pain going to warburg for them, its the one thing our team is over the moon about.

We will take shivans as they help although I didn't get a chance to use any of mine. They take 10mins to get and if someone does not happen to have them someone else goes help them take out the firebase to get them. I don't class them as a pvp content thing as there is no pvp going on in there. Its just in and out in 10mins. It really is a no brainer for everyone to take these on the recluse strike force.

Thats 2 successfull runs in a row now (2 people have done 3 now) and both have been very memorable for me for 2 different reasons. One was a team of 7 agaisnt lvl 54 heroes and one was a team of 8 against lvl 53 heroes without nukes. Both amazing teams to be on.

We can start swapping soon Trix now that we will be doing it more often. I think that since these are most peoples first couple of drops of sho'e that they can slot them quite easily but as we get more there will be a bigger need to swap.

Im looking for dammage mez or accuracy mez but the ones I would like the most are ToHit and Defence Debuff/Endu Cost for Rad Infection.

No big deal really as the whole think is actually fun.

Hmm, never thought about using EMP as a -regen on AVs

[/ QUOTE ]

Don't really think any one would have noticed but I did use it when we tried to defeat posi on the RSF and his health did suffer considerably albeit for 15 seconds. I think thats what took him down to about 15% before we wiped as vengenance had wore off by then.

Incidently when all 4 went down with a bang I did hit EMP just before it. Im not saying EMP caused that but im sure the 1000% -regen helped a bit as I seen that it did hit.

Food for thought.

Its just not reliable or up fast enough to depend on as much as LR
