MoSTF run failed at Ghost Widow. We had a scrapper attacking Ghost Widow from behind and something really odd happened. Because of the manner in which the last run failed on GW's Soul Storm, I was paying careful attention to her facing this time. Not only was there no animation for the casting of Soul Storm, Ghost Widow never turned from me. I was watching her attack me as the scrapper behind her floated into the air of a Soul Storm. 
I bugged it but may try some more experiments on failed runs when a team has time and willingness to test it.
Because it's a holiday Thursday we probably won't be running at the regular time.
Awwww

That just sounds weird, Imp...
Sounds like the AVs have turned into Sega Dreamcasts... They're thinking!
Or drinking...
Or stinking...
Something.

1. Was the scrapper jousting or staying in melee?
2. How far was the scrapper from your tank when he/she was hit with the hold (consider the possibility of a targeted AOE)?
If somebody you're arguing with goes off the deep end, don't follow.
That is a very good question. I had assumed her Soul Storm is a cone AoE, but it could be a targetted AoE. If it is a targetted AoE, that area seems to be very large based on incidents on past runs when taunting from range.
Does anyone know the name format for her power to see the correct description of her power in game? Otherwise, this is something testable on a failed run.

If there is enough interest we will be running the usual 6pm pacific time.
Over the Thanksgiving weekend we ran two unscheduled/short notice runs. One failed and the other succeeded. Congratulations to Vorac Jr., Fire Curcuit & Shiny Sonja; It was a team with a lot of experience/regulars.

I have an Ill/Rad that I would like to run through a MoSTF sometime before the new year. He only needs 1/2 level to 50 and should have that Friday night unless something goes amiss.
Tech Support Rule #1 - They will lie to you. Usually intentionally.
Our run fell short last night with a single death. It's always the granite tank isn't it? 
We had a very slow add of Mako when we were fighting Ghost Widow (she was at 2/3 health when he arrived). The second tank attempted to get Mako's attention and got Ghost Widow's instead. Overall it was a very smooth run aside from the mishap.
We dropped the Arachnos Flier before going in for Lord Recluse and the Fliers and received 2 merits for our efforts. 
After defeating Lord Recluse I decided to try it again and defeating the Flier awarded 2 more merits. 
How do i join the chanel for this....
Yes I'm still kinda newbish dispite getting my blaster to 50..... I know the mechnics of killing shite, and i spend time on costunes and at least a little RP, but over all mechanics i tend to bee a newbi one still, (note in my 15months I've really only played 3-4 of them was a big break in the middle), and CoH is still my more casual MMO, but getting badges is FUN....... as is killing AV's..... Madam X is built to kill AV/GM's perferable with some oen keepign them in place gogo ignight + resist debuff proc's/powers
I wouldn't mind getting in on this Thursday's run with Hestis. I have run it once before, but I still consider myself pretty noob-ish when it comes to it.

not to name anmes or anything but SCRAPPY ur FAULT
We'll have our usual Thursday 6pm pacific run.
Don't worry about being unfamiliar with this task force; we try to keep the instructions as simple as possible.
"STF Masters" is the global channel and it's not private. Click "Tab" and select "Channel Search". Type in STF Masters and join the channel. Generally speaking it's a minimal chatter channel.
Just wanted to give a big thanks to everyone that was on the team last night for our successful run. We had 6 people that already had the badge, and like I told Impyre, they made it look easy. Thanks again!

Congratulations to the new MSTF badges: Hestis & Ivy League Yo. It was a very smooth and relatively quick run for us. I made a conscious effort to push for speed with both the experience on the team and having 5 buffers/debuffers. Our 8th member of the team was Vega Prime who hit 49th midway through the run.
Unfortunately we had to leave out some who wanted to run. Special thanks to those that made room for others.
Someday (around February, hopefully) I'll be able to start getting a few of my toons in one this! w00hooo!

Missed the screenshot, had an early morning. As soon as recluse went down, so did I.
I had a blast!

Because of the Holidays, there won't be normal runs this nor next Thursday. Depending on availability there may be runs with notice in the STF Masters channel only.
We've had 2 unsuccesful runs since the last run reported above. One last thursday and another on the weekend.
Happy Holidays everyone!
Happy New Year! We had a run that failed on New YearÂ’s Day. We ran when a friend/regular wanted to set up a run. Unfortunately that run filled up before we could go public to recruit for the team. We had a death at Aeon.
With some requests in channel on Saturday, we put together a team for a run. As always I tried to let people run their preference as long as I think the team can complete a MoSTF. So we ran with three tanks. We had several close calls; Scirocco continues to open with an alpha EM Pulse as well as finishing with one at the end. It was a long run with a relatively low damage team; the fight against Ghost Widow was especially slow when the other 2 tanks attacked from range. The team did a great job following a lot more instructions than usual.
Congratulations to Mojada, Inferno Prey, Atomic Aegis, Microsoft Man 2, and Chilling Prey on their new badges.
Next run is Thursday, 6pm pacific
Impyre, after next weekend I'm not the regular babysitter for grandbebe's anymore... maybe I'll actually be able to get in on these then!! woooohoooo!!!
Congrats! Although...that means Carn is getting closer to me again...that freaking badgehound.

Congrats guys on earning this elite badge. 3 Tanks! I'll bet the AVs didn't know who to hit first.

It was a very smooth run with no real close calls that I can remember. The team listened to and executed the plan to perfection. I bored the team with a steady stream of: "Attack the AV only" though in my defense only one person fell asleep during the run.
Congratulations to Mortal Prey III, Leech Hawk & Alecia on earning the MSTF badge. Special Kudos to Megaera Fey & Madam X on earning both MSTF and Saved the World badges on this run. Madam said the furthest she'd been on a STF previously was one that ended in the Vine AV room. Megaera had never been on a STF run before so we made sure she got to see Aeon's cutscene.
Both Leech Hawk and Alecia are longtime veterans on various alts while Mortal crossed into veteran status at some unspecified point recently. For anyone wondering, we had 2 radiation defenders and 1 empathy defender.
Most likely no run this weekend. Next scheduled run will be next Thursday, January 15 at 6 pm.

yeah, that's it!
Our run fell short. We had a death at Ghost Widow plus one more on Mako when the blaster felt more free to go into melee mode (rightfully so after the Master run was no more).
Next run: Saturday 9am pacific

Well, I didn't want the person with the first death to feel bad....
Anyway..... I think that I am cursed...
