All scrapper ___TF!

What started as a simple question has grown into what I think is a great idea. I once asked if there has ever been an all scrapper TF. I got my answer along with interest in trying to run another one. Due to the repairman bug, we decided to run ITF instead. That went so well that we decided to try STF even with the bug since it was said and proven to still be completed. Regardless of the outcome of the TF run this comming sunday, I think it would be a good idea to try all of the end game TFs with all scrappers. We have a few to choose from.
Everyday, people are making builds, comming up with ideas and asking for advice here. In normal game play, most us will never get to chance to team with any of the people we get advise from and share ideas with. This is a good way to it. It would be like actually going to the game vs watching it on TV. For this to work well, they all should be run on test. I understand that a lot of people dont get on test but that's the best way to team with people from other servers.
Also, it doesn't always have to be on sundays at the same time. Nor does it just have to be one team running or the same TF. We all like scrappers. We all like to do off the wall stuff that people say can't be done. What better way to say "wrong" then run all the TFs with just scrappers on the team. (See my sig?) So... What do you all think? Good idea?

While I can't join these due to living in a different time zone, I salute your efforts. It's still interesting to watch your results on TV - err, read about it on the forums.

I like short TF's, and am always game for an ITF. I'll be moving scrappers to test.

If people want to scrap-TF on Freedom, Virtue or Justice I can probably accommodate.

The longest endgame TF would be faathim the kind. That's mostly because of the defeat alls (every mission on any all scrapper TF is a defeat all) and the fact that he doesn't have a cel phone!

An ITF with all scrappers could be rather interesting.. especially if they're high-end scrappers... you can essentually split up and chase mission objectives solo (or duo-ing).


I gotta make pain. I gotta make things right. I gotta stop what's comin'. 'Least I gotta try.

It was fun. Non-stop kill fest. We didn't really split up much, but we weren't waiting around for others either, just go go go. It was the most go go go team I've ever been on.

(Edit: I think it was all top tier scrapper builds. I was probably one of the squishier toons since I brought my Katana/Regen for the challenge. I can no longer say that I've never been killed by Cimerorans. More information on our experience in some recent thread here.)

Given I have multiple scrappers that can essentially solo the ITF up to the AV's at the end of missions 3 & 4, I figure it would just be all around good times, not some sort of mind bending challenge

Yeah, it wasn't any sort of mind bending challenge. Nothing until the final mission Romulus seemed particularly difficult, and even that we started by just charging and seeing how it went (answer: not so well). We didn't even pause for buffs (a lot of us had Mystic Fortune). But it was fun to be on a pure scrapper lock team for over an hour straight.

Yep, that's more or less what I'm after. It's always fun to be on a stomping team that knows what it's doing

Well... I had this crazy idea

Since all us Scrappers love carnage and pure scrapperlock, how about we do an All Scrapper Rikti Raid?

Absolutely. We talked about it earlier in the year, but the character copy tool was pretty much down for the count at that point, so it never happened.

My thought was that we should all solo pylons instead of ganging up on them. Not even close to optimal, but it kind of flips the bird at the Rikti. Others preferred a more sensible approach of at least splitting up in pairs.

As with other things large team related, I've never done a Rikti raid. Well, not since it was in beta, when I was on a failed one.

Nice thing about rikti raid is we can run two - three teams of 8 man scrappers if we want now that would be fun seeing 24 scrappers running around slaughtering rikti

[/ QUOTE ] Yeah that is pretty much how the all scrapper ITF I joined went. Everything was a breeze until the final encounter. Even then we only had one full team wipe. Almost had a second, but I managed to stay alive and finish off the last 10-15% of Rommie myself the first time(sorry, had to brag). It made up for me dying three times in the Nictus mission(which actually annoyed me a lot). After he went down the first time it was cake after that.

edit: Also, I'm down for an all scrapper whatever anytime my schedule allows.

You can do it with 3 players. One team should be fine.

I have an SG event at 3 PM, but its a Rad/Ice defender Moonfire TF, so that should only take an hour or so.

I should be able to show up for a Rikti raid Sunday evening. Start gathering at 6 PM has worked very well for the previous two events.

I will be there with Sweetness unless RL (ie kids) interfere. In fact, I think I'll go see if I can solo a Pylon.
