~Return of the Reichsman TF - Sunday July 5th~

It looks like I will be free tonight after all. If there is still room I would like to join. Looking at the list, I'm thinking with either my rad, PB or blaster.

Well then Turg you take my spot. I just dozed off at WW while buying salvage. Almost bought a fortune for 38,000,000. Good thing hitting enter doesnt place bid. I'll see everyone else tomorrow night.

Bah! Looks like the villains are out in force in Warburg tonight. I'll try again after a quick bite, but it didn't look good. But I did grab Shivans and a Vanguard heavy.

Oh hey, a patch to apply.

Good job, everyone! Had a great time on Luna's team, finishing in just an hour and two minutes. Felt hella easy, but I'm sure the pets helped big time.

it was very fun tonight. went smooth. except when we rushed him and he almost wiped team but once my taunt worked on him we recovered and he dropped fast and smooth

14 deaths.

Thank you to everyone that joined us last night! We had a good turn out, and was able to get two full teams going. I'm sorry we missed you Airborne Ninja! I tend to not log into the forums once I get into CoH because it usually causes me to crash out. I didn't see your message about having to patch up!

My team was:
DarkestFrost: Dark/Ice Defender
Barstow Betty: Illusion/Rad Controller
King Sac: Energy/Energy Blaster
Flames of Mr. E: Fire/Shield Scrapper
General Gintoki: WP/SS Tank
Xort: PB
Violet Fire Flower: Plant/Thermal Controller
Frost Victim: Ice/Ice Blaster

My team finished in 1:02:37 with 22 deaths.

I'm happy to announce that Flames of Mr. E and Frost Victim each made it into level 49 last night. Both of them should ding 50 tonight during Mender Silos. Woohoo!

Our team went very smoothly, considering that the usual "leaders" were newbs to the TF.

First mission: Other than lag went very well. General had asked if we wanted to pull the AV, and I said yes.... well most of us didn't realize the AV was RIGHT THERE, and we followed the General in, and had a few deaths there. Sorry for the bad pull, but it all went pretty good

Second Mission: We destroyed the five portals, and on the advice of people who had done the TF before, we left Reichsman fly around until the mission ended. So I'm assuming that you just cannot damage him at all? Or is it just really hard to do?

Third Mission: We pretty much cleared the mission. The final glowie was a little contary to find, but not horrible.

Fourth/Fifth Mission: Someone talked to Tina, and we were off to the next mission through Portal Corp. We again clicked the 5 glowies (which were a little unusual at first to spot), took down the AV, and lots of ambushes. Lots of fun

Final Mission: We cleared on our way to the final room. As General stated, we had an almost team wipe a couple of times at first. Reichsman, from what I can tell, has a heck of an area of effect attack that stuns most people. I definately recommend that squishies stay out of range on him.

We had a plan to use the temp powers in team order. That plan quickly fell apart. I'm still confused on this power... Does it end the second the stream stops from the gun? Or does it last for a certain amount of time? If it lasts, how can you tell it is still up?

Our team, once we got control, had a really easy time with the AV's. We had Rad and Dark debuffs on Reichsman, plus people used the temp powers on occasion. We had 3 shivans, 1 Heavy Core, and a Snow Beast pulled out. Each time another AV was released, General held Reichman while we took out the others. I think the order they were freed was: Countess Crey, Akarist (was that his name?), Nemesis, and Vanessa DeVore.

Thanks again to everyone for a successful run. I'll be running this again in a week or two because my husband wants to do it, and he was unable to join us last night. I'll probably shoot for a Thursday or Friday night for that run.

So I was looking at Dev posts when i came across this

There seems to be some confusion as to the use of the dimensional ground ray in the final fight of the Task Force. Before Reichsman’s hit by the ray, he is in a phased state and is running a rather nasty debuffing aura. When he is hit by the ray, it “grounds out” some of his power and he returns to a normal state and his aura is shut down. This will persist for the duration of the fight. The dimensional grounding ray isn’t intended to be used at specific points in the fight; it should be used early on, and one hit will do.

Not sure if it is still that way but I found it interesting.

He's actually untouchable. Think Phase Shift, but he can hit you through it.

EDIT: Quoting Joe, quoting Horatio: "The dimensional grounding ray isn’t intended to be used at specific points in the fight; it should be used early on, and one hit will do." Hmm. Guess the multiple blasts were just to make me feel better during that long-frickin'-fight.

Akarist was replaced in beta to Gyrfalcon (the Malta AV) because Akarist was a really dumb choice for an "Axis of Evil" representative.

It was a fun TF - as I mentioned, much easier than the villain side SF.

I think the hero tf needs a bunch of ambushes during the final battle...

Thanks again for organizing this on a non-traditional horde night Luna!

<QR>

Ok, so if you only need to hit him once with that temp power, why on earth does everyone get it, and why are there 10 charges? Seems a bit silly to me . I was wondering if it was just me that didn't seem to be able to tell when it had "run out". Now I know!

Ok, I didn't think that Akarist sounded right, but that's what I had written down from the wiki, and I didn't remember what the other guys name was. Thanks for the info Turg, I'm updating my notes for next time.

I had a ton of fun, and for once setup went really well, lol.

I'll see everyone tonight!

Great job AGAIN to Luna and MB (and everyone else as well). It was fun!
