Done in 3:16:46 with 23 deaths. Other than the normal Rollister debacle and one near wipe on the last mish everything went smoothly. We had at least 2 people for whom this was their very first TF so all in all in was a great team. I hope they join some more of these; trust me guys, the higher level ones can actually be fun.

The team:

1) Cisterno - Mind/Bubbler
2) Freedom Viking - Inv/Nrg
3) Paramour - Dark/Dark Def
4) Rakin Complete - Fire/Shield
5) Benayha - Kat/SR (Dropped around mish #4 or so)
6) Cosmic Fang - Spine/Will
7) Comsicforce Chicken - PB

Thanks as always for organizning this Luna.

Fun times! For being a team made entirely of squishys, I think we did ok. Forgot how painful it was to play at that level. Almost fell asleep a couple times....yawn....

 

Posted

Mr. E's team (7 players) Left off on the last 3 mishes due to it being too late to continue. Stopped playing around 1am. Concluding Friday at 1130pm.

Rollister is where we broke our backs multiple times. You just can't rush that map effectively at lvl 15...

The team consisted of the following:

[Team] Maximar: @Captain Power
[Team] Cerulean Skie: @Turgenev
[Team] Glasses: @Lucky666
[Team] Roxona MD: @roxona
[Team] Hobo Knife: @Jokerohki
[Team] Transfusione: @Lieran
[Team] Beauty in a Bubble: @Mr E-Man

Ugh, Seeing your all's recaps this morning, looks like in the confusion I set up a few unbalanced teams. I'm so sorry guys!!!!!

MB: Your team had a tank scheduled, but he didn't show up. I didn't realize that he was your only tank. I could have moved someone else over

Mr E: On paper your team looked lovely with bubbles, an emp, a rad, and a kin. Sorry I didn't realize that you all were all lowbies

Xort: Glad your team worked out, sorry you had someone drop. Didn't realize I put 3 scrappers on your team If I had, I could have mixed your's and MB's teams up a bit.

Alter: Looks like your team did great and I don't think it was too heavy or too short on any thing. At least I got one team right

I'll post up info on my team here in a bit...

Actually Turg, you were the only one at 15 during that mission - everyone else started the night at levels 10 to 12. Now of course, I think everyone is at level 15 - I know Lieran leveled just before I logged off & she was 10 when we started.

Great time. I really love playing my fire/mm blaster! (Thanks to Luna for recommending that one!). However, he's really squishy but I still loved dropping those AoEs! I think a good number of the deaths were me. And like fox said I was falling asleep on the last mission.

Thank you very much Luna for organizing this. This has to be a crazy to keep straight given how many people showed up. Truly impressive.

I'm looking forward to tonightÂ’s ITF!

Yeah, didn't think about that 'til halfway thru the first map, when everyone was dinging around me like crazy. Then on Rollister... yeah, that was painful. Those spawns were just simply insane...

It's kinda the reason why I nearly always do TF's when I've outleveled it; keeps me at top level for optimum balance. Mix/matching levels can be a hairy experience, as we noticed...

Seeya Friday at 1130pm Eastern to finish it.

Glad you like that combo Flu! Biggest words of advice I can give you from watching my husband play his:

Get a knockback protection IO whenever you can. Depending on what third tier pools you pick, you might have to get the Blessing of the Zephyr one that slots in your travel power. The other two knockback IO's slot in defense buff or resist damage sets, neither of which you'll get from Fire/MM.

And yes, now I know last night that you didn't have a tank, but when you *do* have a tank, let him get aggro first before you start on the AoE's. Otherwise you will squish like a grape. My husband refused to listen to that advice, and couldn't figure out why he kept dying

If so we should submit Luna for some sort of CoH award or something. That pic would do it for sure!

Just a heads up the next one is the same level range so those lowbies dinging away should be all set for the CoT Trial next week (12-15)

I did take a couple pics, but I had my graphics turned way down to reduce lag. I'll post them, but i'm sure someone else has better ones.

WOW! What a night. Total insanity is about the best way to put it! Thank you to everyone that came out to play, and for being patient, I really appreciate it!

From my list, we had 37 people signed up, of which 4 could not join us. Two of those were iffy's so nothing wrong with that! We also had 2 other people just show up that wanted to join us. So that brings the total of people wanting to run Posi to 35!

As predicted, we had a very large crowd, and I really hope someone got a few pics of it! We also had a lot of gawkers, who were funny, but they made it extra difficult to figure out who was who.

It was almost like the first day of school, everyone checking out how much everyone has changed during summer break. Only in our case, we were a bunch of new toons! I know it took people a while to figure out who was who.

We had 5 teams running with anywhere from 6-8 people per team. From my big list of people, we had 6 Tanks, 9 Defenders, 10 Blasters, 4 Controllers, 4 Scrappers, and 3 Kheldians.

My team was:

Dyanthia: Rad/Rad Defender
Czaja Hendrix: Shield/SS Tank
Kelvin Kin: Kin/Ice Defender
King Sac: Energy/Energy Blaster
Death Dealer: WP/Ax Tank
Siphirus: Archery/MM Blaster
Darken Sparrow: Sonic/Dark Defender

My team finished at 2:45:48 with 20 deaths.

We had 2 50's with us, and one 10. The rest of us were middle to upper end of the TF in level range. I think by the time we finished, even the 10 was a 15.

After hearing how some of the teams struggled, I hate to say it, but my team had a really easy time of it..... We had a couple of times where about half the team wiped, but I don't think we ever had an entire team wipe.

Thanks for joining everyone! Next Monday night is going to be a strange night, so I'm not going to auto sign up but a few people who have already confirmed they are coming. We are going to run the Cavern of Transcendence Trial followed by an ITF. I'm going to cap the CoT trial at 2 or 3 teams ONLY.

Also look for a post from me here shortly in the Freedom forums for some notes to the Freedom Horde about Monday night TF's.

PS: One of the most interesting parts of the night: While getting the teams out the door, I had someone who was just standing around there send me a tell asking me "What the hell I was doing?". I guess people aren't allowed to setup multiple teams for Posi

Edit: PS #2: My husband was calling me "Killer of Servers". He directly blames me for the lag we were all experiencing at the beginning for setting up so many teams.

My favorite part of the evening setup, when someone asked "WTH is going on??" My response: "LF AE"

On the lag: That was a HUGE problem in the first mish; I'm wondering if we really did cause a server spike with all of us doing that mish with full/nearly full teams and all the spawnage... It lessened out on the 2nd mish onward somewhat, but that mighta just been us being numb to it with all the blood.
