The LRSF is broken. Plain and simple.

I may have extreme luck then.

Ran it 3 times. No cookie-team build. All with success. Deaths? they can happen. But nothing so aberrant. Only difference i can thing is... We knew each other and our playing styles.

I love how morons say, Lrn2Ply

I've been playing game Off & On, since beta, I think I've learned.

Apparently they think you haven't learned.

I can't prove it either way.

@Boltcutter in game.

I really don't think it's as hard as most people think. I've completed with a Mind Dom, using Shivans + Veng, and with just a regular team pulling. It's a hard SF, you need to have a good team for it. Hell I can complete the first 4 missions with my Mind/Fire Dom solo, I haven't yet, but I can probably complete the whole SF solo with some luck.

I just returned from a pretty long hiatus and completed a Master LRSF with a PUG.
We had a couple of restarts, but we completed the challenge in 1:46.
2 Mind/Psi doms
1 Fire/Kin corr
1 Ice/Rad corr
1 Fire/Therm corr
1 Bots/Dark mm
a Stone brute and a stalker of some sort (lol)

Stalker and the permadom were well versed, if a bit "serious business", in the LRSF.

Nice shiny new badge for my first run in over 2 years.
Whee!

---

Had a nice run today with 2 Mind Doms (my Mind/Fire and a Mind/Psi) a /SR Stalker, Stone Brute, Willpower Brute, Kin and Therm. Think there was a Fire Brute in there too.

We were on a Master run and it failed when the rezzed Valk crushed the Fire Brute for a lot of damage. Picked ourselves up and had perfect pulls from the Stalker on the Phalanx, cleaned up nicely and went home. Whee Centrilol Exposure.

Definitely helps to have a balanced team with people that know their toons.

Sorry I missed this one. OP, you are right, it's broken. It's been broken since release, with no hope of it being fixed. What has happened is that a few players have been doing it so long, that the things that you call broken are now the only challenge of the thing.

At this point, I hope the only thing that they fix is the stupid Tech. Hell, I want to see the 54's come back. Maybe then it will get the merits that it deserves.

PS, is the Flier Still giving merits in the STF?

This is quite simply one of the most incompetent and bull-headed remarks I've ever read.

Learn to not only recognize that the OP obviously knows how to play the game, but also learn to think before you post.

That is all.

And respawns, so a slower team will end up getting the extra merits more than once.

My first LRSF run, 4 corruptors, 2 brutes, 1 stalker, 1 bots MM. No nukes, no shivans, neither me nor the mastermind had completed one before. We had two deaths total and those were in the first 2 missions. The last mission we tore apart. we did the whole thing in just over an hour.

In the end it was all about having some people on the team that knew what they were doing, could communicate the tactics needed, which order to take the AV's down, and players that were competant.

Expecting competency sounds like you're wanting too much, if this thread is any indication.

There's a large difference between knowing how to play and knowing how to play well.

They really mean Learn to play well.

And in this case, it's the correct sentiment.

Don't take it personally if you think I was mean to you. I'm an ******* to everyone.

Yes, because we all know that people who claim they've been playing since beta are automaticly good players *rolls eyes*

Quite honestly, I think the LRSF is easier than the STF. I've attempted the LRSF 3 times and completed it twice, all 3 were with pickup groups. I've tried the STF 7 times and only completed it twice, also with pickup groups.

Team makeups if you remember.

I think the STF should be harder with the fight of the 4 avs, pretty simple if you know how to buff a tank with def and CMs/BFs/Claritys.

I personally think the Patron Lackeys should come back for that fight. Would go a long way towards making our team far less annoyed when some goon demands we "pull" or even worse, "Chicken Yard" Ghost Widow. God damn I hate Chicken Yard...

In context, I would guess pulling GW to the Longbow boat to get the LB to help deal damage/distract her, but I've never heard the term before.

Ghost Widow has Dark Regeneration. The fewer people in melee, the smaller the chance that she'll abruptly recover thousands and thousands of HP.
