Strike Force Info & Stats:
- This Strike Force requires an 8-person team to start & I will set it to No Temp Powers (which includes Veteran Reward Powers) & 0 Defeats
- 6 missions (1 talk to)
- Badge(s): Servant of Recluse, Master/Mistress of Olympus, Annihilator, Master of Lord Recluse's Strike Force for No Deaths/No Temp Powers (no guarantees of course :smirk: ) plus progress towards the Monkeywrencher badge for Zeus Titans among others
- Merit Reward: 25
- This Strike Force (by necessity) will probably be limited to just one team.
- Stick together, listen to instructions & do not be afraid to offer your opinion on strategy!
- First Mission: Completely clear to all of the doors - including the turrets. The Scientist location can be ascertained by checking the number of red objective points in each door (3 yes / 2 no). Wait for & clear the ambushes (3) after kidnapping the scientist (you may need to move him to the door to get the ambushes to spawn. Clear the left side to Crimson - Pets on passive to avoid Hero aggro until we are set.
- Second Mission: In the water to the Khronos Titan. Clear around the nearby mobs & take out the Titan. Clear the mob in front of the door. Stealth & TP to the end area if possible, if not stick together & clear. Clear the two areas before opening up the door. After aggroing the Slinger, try to clear the surrounding mobs before taking him down to make it less hectic for when he spawns his bots.
- Fourth Mission: After talking to Grillo (Third Mission), move to the base of the Atlas Statue. We may need to clear some nearby mobs first. Pull to the front foot of the statue (furthest from the Heroes). Pull/Kill order: Numina, Sister Psyche, Manticore, BABs subject to pulling circumstances.
- Fifth Mission: Clear to the Vindicator door, while the rest of the team sets up back down the hall, someone stealthy should open the door. Pull/Kill order: Malaise, Swan, Luminary, Mynx, Valkyrie (x2) subject to pulling circumstances. Clear to the glowie. Set-up & wait for the ambush (we usually go back to the main hall by the large room). Clear to Ms Liberty. Use the rifle on her & take her down.
- Sixth Mission: Clear to the right side of the Atlas Statue (to avoid any cross agro). Stay together & keep buffs/debuffs running. From this side, Pull/Kill order: Numina, Synapse. Clear to the left side of the Atlas Statue. From this side, Pull/Kill order: Sister Psyche, Manticore. From here, we can determine which side to pull from next & which hero to pull. Of course this is all subject to pulling circumstances. Apparently if Statesman is mentally undressing Numina, it will result in an “All-Pull” situation. If this occurs, we will determine a strategy - perhaps logging out to reset the mission & hoping for a better distribution of the heroes. Conversely, we my try the sleep & pull method if we have the right team make-up.
- This is still a work in progress…so please chime in with ideas!

Can you switch me to an alt? I might be going to a concert that night but it depends on my money situation. More than likely I'll be showing up for this, but I don't want to take a spot not being certain and all.

Turg Fiction: IX is now LIVE on Architect Entertainment!
Sign me up if there's still room! I'll bring The Dark Machinist, 50 mm bots/forcefields.
I just managed to finally get my computer functioning again (had to install Windows 7 in the end... I suspect a corporate conspiracy here) and I'm super excited to start running task/strike forces again!
I would like to come as well...I have a sonic/sonic corr i would love to bring.
If you need a /stone or a perma mind dom i can always bring them instead.

Last run (which was successful) I was on my Elec/Elec Brute & Paragon was on his /Inv Brute & we did not have a mind dom (let alone a perma mind dom). They can make it easier, but certainly not a necessity. :smirk:
We may need a brute (not sure what all of the TBA might be at this point). If we do, I can always switch off to Mr E-Villain.

Good luck guys! I'll be out of town this weekend; hope it's a successful run!
Just a reminder...
This is Tonight!
I hope that everyone can make it! I will be out most of the day, but should be home fairly early in the evening, in case there are any changes.
Also, if you are a TBA & can give me a "heads-up" on what you are planning to take, that would be cool! :smirk:

Rough night in Grandville...
Three attempts - all ended in the first mission. We lost 2 people after the 2nd attempt & picked up 2 additions. I also need to appologize to Marvel, because he was right when he questioned the lvl during the first two attempts - not sure why everything was +2.
The last run, we decided to continue on - which went well until we got to the last mission. We had massive issues with all-pull situations from the Freedom Phalanx that we could not overcome - we even reset the mission & still pulled everyone...
Just wasn't our night...
We'll get them next time.
Sorry we could not get it finished everyone, but thanks for joining & giving it a shot!
I will have something posted for next week.

Looks like I dropped out right when I needed to: not 5 minutes after I'd left my internet went down and hasn't come back until just now. Sorry I had to leave early, but it looks like I would have one way or another!
The level issues was very likely because I had to initiate the sf on the first 2 attempts. I'd have to check, but I'm willing to bet my difficulty was set to +2, hence the higher-than-normal mob levels. I didn't even think about it until now, although I wasn't expecting to be doing the leading (and I was under the impression strike forces weren't affected by that setting as well... phooey). So I apologize for that too, at least you guys got to have another try at a proper level.
We'll rock it next time, see you all there!
LOL! Mr E, I was just looking for a reason why my Brutes kept getting kicked around. The stars were not aligned with us last night. Sometimes that happens...

There were many problems getting the "new" difficulty settings to work reliably with TFs, so they were disabled. Thankfully they have been working again since the last couple patches, but like you mentioned.. many people don't think to check it anymore. I'd have to check exact dates, but I think we were without those options on TFs for about a year... easy to be forgotten.|

Sorry to hear about the rough times last night. I hope things go better on the next run.
maybe you should set up a do-over date for this one, we can pull it off for sure next time
