MSTF

I missed running them TF's while I was away.......If you get something going Thursday 2/11
I'd like to get in on that Imp. I'll probably bring my Earth/Rad but I have Many 50's to choose from depending on the need.

Rican

Mystic Fusion -- Rad/Dark Defender
Damien the Duck -- Dark/Dark Defender
Zues-Tank -- Inv/SS Tank
Combat Waitress -- Dual Blades/Super-Reflexes Scrapper
Buzz Lightning -- Electric/Electric Blaster
Endurance-Thief -- Kinetic/Sonic Defender
Doc Jen -- Empathy/Electric Defender
Scrappy Hood -- Archery/Mental Manipulation Blaster


Sorry for the late posting, but here's the team.

It might have been a first for us to run successfully with a Tauntless tank. It was a veteran team and, though a few hadn't run in a while, it was a fairly smooth run. I don't remember who earned the MSTF and/or Saved the World badge(s) so I'm not going to list names for fear of leaving someone out.

The first attempt ended short when a teammate had to log and had died to the mob that used to despawn in the second mission. It's the one just before the elevators that they finally fixed some months back.

We filled his spot and had a smooth and steady run with a team that was high on defense and a bit light on damage. If this run had been prior to the nerf of Mako's god-mode we would have had to be creative with Fulcrum Shift or we might not have been able to get past him.

Once again I didn't take notes on badges earned but the team was made up of: Trinity Storms, Colby Prey, Doc Jen, Jasmine Burns, Mrs. Icy Jen, Vik Volcanic, Mystic Fusion and Dawnrazor.

We will run again next week 2/26 at the usual 6 pm pacific time. I'll try to mention it a bit more during the week now that I've had at least one person voice a willingness to lead a second team if we have enough show up to run more than one team.


Off topic: Does anyone else wonder why BackAlleyBrawler obviously holds back his full "might" on the Recluse Strike Force?

Jasmine Burns got the badge. Only my Tanker, Two Scrappers and a Defender to go.

"Sorry bucko, but CoH and CoV are the same game." -BackAlleyBrawler
"Silly villain, CoX is for Heroes!" -Saicho

Was a good run last night and with all the buffs/shields being tossed around, felt pretty safe.

Looking forward to the next one.

I don't have a M of anything on any of my toons. I think this is something I'd like to look into getting The hard part will be deciding WHICH toon I want it on the most!

We're back on a regular Thursday schedule so come out to the boat in IP if you want to run. We'll do our best to accomodate those that show up.

For those looking for the other Master's badges we do run MITF at times when there are requests and there are others in the "STF Masters" channel that run MKahnTF also.

No apologies are needed Boricua. Real life happens and isn't in our control. We'll see you next time.

As was mentioned previously we had a failed attempt a couple weeks ago; in fact, we ran 2 of the 3 previous weeks and failed both attempts. I cancelled the run on Double XP Thursday. This past Thursday, however, we had a successful run. We had six members of the team earning the MSTF badge, with a few earning “Saved the World” also, (I don’t have my notes for the latter badge). Congratulations on MSTF go to Prince Buster, Kotando, Maser, Mage Shaman, and Dusty Rose. Unfortunately I didn’t get the complete power sets but the support sets were Cold, Kin, Emp and Rad. I believe this was only the second time we’ve managed to successfully run with three tanks.

Following the recent trend, the first to show up on the boat were on early, before 6 pm. Prince Buster and Kotando wanted the badge on their tanks but, after conversing with both of them, I decided it would be best if I tanked also. Since I had Friday off I felt I could afford to have a longer than usual run.

The only close calls I remember were against Scirocco. One of the tanks knocked into the orange and one of the defenders tested the one-shot rule. We had a long fight with Ghost Widow as expected. Against Lord Recluse we had some issues with the repairmen on the Red Tower. I had used more than half my tray of inspirations while they defeated that tower so I called for a retreat after . There was a brief confusion when I called for the retreat, but we managed to get clear of Recluse to wait for the Flier respawn. It was one of the longest runs we’ve had in a while at 3:33, but it was a satisfying run for everyone. Congrats again to everyone and we look forward to seeing you Thursday.

Here's the team

This is the first time I've ever seen this posting, and noticed that you stated that you are missing photo number 19.

Though my picture does not have any of the teams members names mentioned, I believe I have your missing picture. I couldn't find it on your photobucket. But this was a MoSTF lead group.

Lets see...

The short little guy in olive green drab is my rad defender, Wyll Vikshus.
The guy in the red and blue suit is the invuln tank, Invincible Prey.
The guy in the dapper black suit is the SR scrapper, Jerriko.
The gal in the short black miniskirt and trenchcoat is Mom, can't remember if she was on her rad or kinetic troller.
The flying purple/gold winged valkyrie I think is Ayla on her archer.
I think the big, horned guy with red/yellow wings is Rugiel (fire blaster).
The white, black-trimmed viking outfit is I think, one of Scrappy's toon.
And for the life of me, I can't remember who is the flying cybernetic armed toon.

Apologies to anybody I made a mistake on or missed. Thanks for providing the pic Jeri.

Wow great memory Vik. I can verify that is my fire blaster and that is Aylas archer. The rest you named definitely seem right.

3/25 team

Inferno Prey? I remember that tank; Mortal is just lazy now, only bringing Invincible Prey, his Invuln tank.

The turnout for last Thursday’s run showed up early again. We had an abundance of scrappers and regulars. Since almost everyone had run before we decided to have some fun with the team composition. We ran with 2 fire/shield scrappers, a katana/fire scrapper, a peacebringer, emp/rad/sonic defenders and a granite tank. The least experienced (as far as running STF) was the granite tank having run STF once or twice long ago.

This was one of the rare times I copied the chat log and a couple of things stand out. First of all, that Impyre sure does worry a lot and secondly Scorpion was pulled while the Flier was overhead and Mako didn’t follow. Against Ghost Widow we didn’t have any of the scrappers sit out the fight. Stone Palace focused on taunting from range and both shield scrappers fought without Against All Odds. There were several occasions when I think a Soul Storm could have caught multiple scrappers had it been used but we were lucky enough to avoid any mishaps.

Congrats to Burning Prey, Scrappy Shields, Waker., Hazel the Hare on earning the MSTF badge.

Note that I may miss some Thursdays this month. Hopefully someone else will take up the organizing if I’m not around.

If I can get a play by play of how it's supposed to go, I'll run it if available.

Proud member of team 53 (Delacroix)--don't forget, Impyre, you still owe my scrapper a successful run! ;D

So is anyone doing Master of Kahn or Master of Imperious runs regularly? I need to get those done before I17 hits.

I need those too pre-I17. I will be around all day after 12 est today if anyone wants to give them a shot. Good excuse to dust off my villain

Just a quick plug, STF Masters global channel is a good place to start for any Master run tf (Imperious, Reichsman, or Statesman). I'll try to organize at least a MoReichs if both of you are on and available.

I will join that channel and am available today.
