Hi. I cant make this but would would like to recommend team speak for this, it helps alot. even if only a few have a mic the rest can still listen. I failed this trail the 1st few times i done it but got it done in the end with team speak. Only takes one person to not be sure what they are doing to mess it up for the rest. Hope this helps and good luck
Thanks for the tip I was considering it as a possibility myself - I've even looked up the site and downloaded the program (I do that a lot - I don't even know what half the things on my hard disk are)
May give it some more consideration - would certainly be handy as I'm a relatively slow and habitually verbose typer, so I tend not to speak much while things are happening.

can you let us in on why today's attempt wasn't successful?
Didnt kill the rikti that spawned so after we killed the head we had 3 minutes to clear a room full of lvl 42 rikti bosses and lieus and all there hp and resistance

Yeah, we just ran out of time at the end of the day. Don't worry, we didn't jump straight down to the bottom, dragging a dozen krakens with us and then commenced Irish line dancing on the Hydra's head 
Although it was tempting - maybe after I have the badge

i'll be there again.
tufty lvl 40 dark/dark defender
I'll come along if you need me. I've done the Trial a few times before. Jumping straight to the bottom after getting weapons is the easiest way of doing things. This Trial is probably the most difficult in the game because it requires the team to work together in more ways than one.
I can get a hold of Teamspeak.
Stryker - Level 50 Kinetic Defender
I'm unsure wether I'd be able to attend, due to uncertain date of our D&D session, as soon as I know for certain if it's saturday or sunday, I'll let ya know, but I am interested in doing it.
I've only done one TF so far on Scarlet!
FF/Psi lvl39 (well soon to be)
But don't stick me on the list yet.
I'll pop in here to say if I can or not during the week!
Hopefully if I can a spot will still be open!
Although you have said about the levels, my flatmate and myself can be there on Sunday:
Battery Hen (Emp / Elec Defender) - Me
Mongoose (Claws / Regen Scrapper)
Both lvl 38 as of now, although we will be playing through the week, so may push that up a level.
Where do we meet?

As for meeting (I always seem to forget this part!), we'll meet at Penny Preston in Founders Fall - she is marked on the map as the lower left hand store marker (she's the Mutant SO enhancement contact). The trial contact is just a few feet away from her.

a tank and a blaster would probably help in the last 2 spots, we should definately have enough defenders anyway

If you want me, and I have done enough of my essay, I'll be there.
Not having done this trial before, I've looked for a guide on the web and here is a link :

I'm guessing that we need to kill the Rikti porting in to avoid a team wipe?

Need a Tank, you say? Throw my name is there again, sure.
Was talking to SG people and the probable reason we failed last time was that apparently the tentacles have a habit of wandering off onto the walkways. We probably missed one or two of them, therefore failed when the time expired.

Depends as before. If things go pear shaped, we can just unexemp the 50's, grab some 49 SK's and ignore them. Worked well enough before, other factors screwed us up.
Might mean less XP but this trial is hard. ED's only made it more so.
if ya got space i'm in send me a /t @pryo on the day if u need me (invc/war mace tanker)

Good to have you on board MBar, I was secretly praying you'd sign up for this Good tanks are so hard to come by in the late game it seems!
As for the tentacles, that is what the plasma cannons are for, and hence partially where we went wrong last time - taking them out at range would save aggroing the head on the most part.
It might also be worth your sticking to Tufty like glue being as her shadow fall stealth thing is about the only psi protection you're going to get
If anyone would care to put their names down as reserves, feel free to put a post up and I'll give you a /tell if we find ourselves short and you're about.

sorry Ils but i may not be able to make this afterall... I was arranging an eden trial for my SG but not had a great amount of interest for it so I will need to check with a few people to see if we are still going to go ahead with it. Keep my name on the list for now tho and I will reconfirm my position by thursday
I'm Kin/Elec btw.
I don't think I've tried it under ED. I think we have a good chance though. 2 Kinetic Defenders and a Tank to protect the team when the Rikti Spawn in. So long as the forcefield generators are taken down at the same time and people open fire with the right weapons, it will be easy.
Seeing as how 50's can't get weapons, three people will probably have 2 (one of each).
Anyone over lvl 41 can't get weapons, unless they're exemped to 41 or below at the time of clicking the glowy (they can still use the weapons if they subsequently unexemp) - so don't worry about that!
I do see kinetics as being very handy for keeping everything moving - might have to be careful with the use of speed boost before we reach the bottom however, as we don't want to be falling off the ledges into hostile territory! The heal is first rate however, leastways for us melee types!
@Tufty, no prob, just let me know either way.

Todays run was less successful than I planned. That is to say it wasn't successful. That being said, an experience is only wasted if you fail to learn anything by it.
The trial is relatively short, so you would only need to put aside 2 hours.
As such I would like to arrange another run next Sunday, 22nd January. I would be looking at a 12pm / midday (GMT) start time, a little later than last time so everyone can have a lay in
There are a handful of caveats I would like to outline however:
We will be running this at least relatively within the level bounds the trial is aimed at (38-41). I say relatively because I would most likely be lvl 42 by that point, although I will merrily exemplar if the team setup supports it. To that end, we would require at least 3 people in the 38-41 range, preferably 4, of which at least one must be in the 38-40 range to start the trial. Besides those 3, the level range is otherwise 36-50, with exemps or sidekicks where appropriate and/or possible.
It is perhaps important to note that because I'm looking to keep within the aforementioned level bounds that debt and/or failure remain distinct possibilities - this is being run as an experience, conquering what proved to be an impressively challenging trial - l33t xp is, shall we say, unlikely.
There is an exploration badge that is not difficult to get regardless of success in the mission (next to the Hydra's head), as well as the badge for completing the mission.
For those under lvl 42 (as in up to lvl 41), you should also get a double attribute enhancement if we succeed.
I would hope to get a full team of 8 together, and those in todays team are more than welcome if they wish to try again - they all did a remarkable job and I have every confidence in each of them.
I would also like to be a little more organised about team structure, so if you'd like to attend, give your character's name, level, AT and powersets (for planning and plotting purposes) and I'll add you to the list. If you realise you are not going to be able to make it after you've signed up, please let me know.
