Is it Ice Minstral, or Ice Mistral?

So there really isn't a 10 - 15 SF? I looked high and low for reference to one, but nothing. I even PMed Alexa about it, but she didn't seem sure, either. Hmm.

As far as I know, nobody ever found one. It could be there, and nobody's talking, but I'm guessing it's not in yet.

Just wanted to say that the AV at the end of Renault's SF is a 2-part guy. The first is a Coralax Priesnt named ::bleh:: can't remember. The 2nd, and most obscene thing I have ever faced is the Eye of Leviathan. It's impossible to beat, worse than Hamidon. Going to write a guid about the SF in general tomorrow I think. If anyone has beaten that damn Eye, PLEASE tell me how you did it.
I don't know about the eye, but that darned tree for the respec trial can be easy, or WAY hard. First thing you should do is clear out all the mobs in the cave, skip doing the vines till last, as they grow back. After you're finished with the mobs, you need to take out 15 vines at the same time (before the 1st one grows back that is). After that, we didn't really have any problems with the Tree itself, then again, there were lots of Brutes on the team, and we had our SMASH! on.
7 of us, 15-17, tried the first strike force, the mobs were all 21. we quit, leader set to easiest diff, mobs were 20s and 21s. is this not like TFs where mobs are above the highest level? 4 levels higher is too much.

Its always the Max level.
Posi's TF is 10-15, and all of the enemies are 15-16. Thats why its always better to try later on in the level range, especially in the early levels.
Thanks for eight fun years, Paragon.

ok, it must have changed at some point, it used to adjust to the highest in the group. thanks.
Finally, we get to fight Col. Duray!
I was wondering when he'd make an appearance in the game.

I believe only the respec trials adjust to highest in group, the others such as Posi are set.
Which of these is "The Temple of the Waters Strike Force", which is mentioned in the Test Server patch notes for 31Oct as being 'fixed to award the badge'? I know the patch has been subsequently removed but I was more interested in the SF it mentioned as I hadn't heard of it before - I guess it's one of the others under a different name, but I'm not sure. Could be Renault's if it concerns water?
Yeah, it's Renault's.

task forces used to, as in "in the past", adjust to be just above the highest member. if they are all set to highest now, it must have been after issue 3.

Ice Mistral
A Mistral is a cold wind.
A Minstrel is a traveling musician.
I definitely ran TFs before I3 and there were always set. The only one I know of that isn't is the Respec trial. I heard a rumor that another random one set to group level too, but it must be one I haven't done.
I think Manticore always set the level to the highest member of the group (and possibly Numina too - but her's is only over 3 levels anyway), but all the lower level 'original' ones have always been set to the upper level limit of the task force regardless of the level of the team for as long as I've been doing Task Forces (since before Issue 1). Can't remember which type the Striga ones are.
The only change to the levels of the task forces that I'm aware of is the reduction by 1 level of the upper limit for the first four TF's when auto-exemp was introduced.

Hah, I didn't realize that either.
Bah. The lack of a 10 - 15 strike force is annoying. Still, I guess it makes sense, given the lack of travel powers in most of that range.
thanks FT
My team beat the eye rather easily yesterday.
Team consisted of:
L29 fire/fire brute
L29 robot/ff mastermind
L28 merc/ff mastermind
L28 ice/rad corruptor
I had to go afk for most of the last mission but when I came back my team was waiting for me to help with the AV since they couldn't do it without me.
Basic plan is to have pets draw aggro or you will be 1-2 shot. Setup debuffs. Stay away from those annoying tornados. And blast that thing to death. Knockback protection is almost a must to make this easier. Be mindful of where you are and where your pets are at all times. You can and most likely will aggro anything and everything being knocked around like a lil school girl by them tornados.

Are you certain it is not 24 minimum like the COH respec? I went up to the contact yesterday at level 24 and he did not give me the "this is too hard for you" speech... he just told me to get 4 members... looks like level 24 to me. Please some one let me know.

With City of Villains Beta ending last night and the two day pre-order headstart this weekend, I decided the best thing to do would be to post a general outline of the Strike Forces of City of Villains so people don't outlevel content before they know about it.
What's a Strike Force?
A Strike Force is simply the villains' version of a Task Force. Thanks to City of Heroes advances, City of Villains Strike Forces debut with auto-RSKing already built in.
