Just thought I'd post a quick breakdown for everyone of the Moonfire and Hess mission lists.
Probably not necessary as we've perhaps done them before between us ,and you may not view this before we do them.
Moonfire TF
Mission Breakdown
1) Defeat all Vampyri in cave
2) Defeat all Wolves in cave
3) Take flask to Stephanie Peebles
4) Defeat Archon Fontain & his men; Save 6 hostages.
5) Interrogate agents - Defeat 20 Council
6) Rescue Dr. Todd
7) Defeat all villains in base
8) Take schematics to Dr. Englas
9) Defeat Archon Salvatore & his men; Find list of names
10) Interrogate agents - Defeat 20 Council
11) Defeat Arakhn
Hess TF
Mission Breakdown
1) Defeat all villains; Find 2 schematics:
In this mission you will have two rooms filled with deactiveted robots. Once all team members have entered one of these rooms, a message will pop up on screen - "Trap Sprung." The exits will close, and all the robots will activate.
2) Save scientists; Destroy 6 generators
The next 4 missions are very short (1 room cave missions):
3) Eliminate first radar station and destroy computer
4) Eliminate second radar station and destroy computer
5) Eliminate third radar station and destroy computer
6) Eliminate last radar station and destroy computer
7) Find info on robot attack; Hack 2 computers
*The next two missions take place in the coolest part of the game - a hollowed out volcano.*
8) Defeat all villains in sector
This next mission entrance is the door on top of the volcano...(make sure to get the Vulcanologist Exploration badge while you're in the area).
9) Defeat Archon Burkholder
Whether we're just doing the one or if you lot are doing Moonfire at some other time when I'm not available, they both look fairly short compared to something like the Shadow Shards 
See you guys Sunday morning all being well if not before 
So I think about 3 hours for the Hess TF?
How long did it take last time any of you did it?

Sounds about right dude, I can't remember it was a while ago that we did it.
Anyway, after dinner (probably around 6ish) P and I were thinking of doing a TF, just a low level one, for our littles. Either Positron or Synapse would be cool. Posi is 10-15, Synapse is 15-21, I think.
Actually I think we just dinged 16, so it would be Synapse, which is full of clocks and ends in an AV (Clockwork King). So anyone 15+ wanna come for a run? Expecting 2-3 hours, though possibly more since I have no idea on how long it really is, heh. I'd be a controller (Ice/Kin), and P would be her scrapper (MA/Dark), both 16. I think Blade would bring his lvl 16 troller also (Mind/Rad), so we'd just need 1 more to start it *looks in Dutch's direction* 
.
Shrug, think Dutch is AFK today, doing table-top RPing, so he's prolly out.
Yeah I"m out sorry.
About the Hess tf I have to start on 10:30 cause of family breakfast (its something we do every sunday) anyways see you tomorow.

I think it could be 3 hours, for the Hess TF, as a max taking into account standard interruptions.
It took us 25 minutes approximately for each of the first 2 missions and the 4 single room missions will be about 5 minutes apiece.
I think it took us under 2 hours and a half but we did do it with 3 peacebringers, my warshade and a tanker so it was pretty fast work.

Twas fine matey, we started Positron, but had a defeat all mish where one was definitely MIA 
so we quit and didn't bother starting it again.
NPs about the start time dude, 10am was a 'round about' time, only thing is everyone will prolly disappear soon afterwards for lunch

[/ QUOTE ]
Bleh, 4 kheldians.
So sounds like 5 of us will be there, sweet, shouldn't be too bad, 3hrs tops, including lunch would be my guess.
Not sure how the levels will go with tech, dutch, and dk at 30 and everyone else 25/26... should be ok.
I'm looking forward to the Hess TF.
Just as long as it doesn't decide to bug out on us like
the Positron TF did
Oh well maybe we can try Posi again sometime.It was fun while it lasted if I can just get a few techniques sorted and a few binds and some better holds and a better keyboard and........ .
I suppose I could get Red Cleaver to 15 so I could take my tanker instead hmmm.
(Never thought I'd make a tanker but me likes).
Yay we did it, the Hess TF in record time like one and half hours here are some pics
Group Foto on top Vulcano
Big robot, wish he broke free
From under him see how massive it is
Some good pics Dutch.
So we doing Moonfire TF next Sunday then
Well then!
That was a fun day yesterday
So we kicked off around 10.45ish I think, we were set to go at 10.30 but I decided to check out CGRAVs info... which froze my laptop so we were slightly delayed. I think we finished Burkholder around 12.15, so yup one and a half hours is about right Dutchy!
In the end, well actually near the beginning, I felt that my bringing Skull Bender on wasn't as useful as we'd hoped. I mean 4 scrappers, a tank, and so yeah, Skull looked like a good idea for some healing and controlling etc, but it seemed like my heals were underused, and I wasn't really controlling jack all lol. I don't think we'd have had any problems if I'd brought on Tech either. Still it was nice having Skull out for a change, and got some points toward our SG badge for healing, which was good... But now Dutch has pulled his prestige lead over Tech out by like another 10k... dammit! *shakes fist at Dutch* I'll get ya!
Ah well.
So I remade the base too, it's got 8 rooms, including a vault and raid TP, and still room for another room, if we find we need another workshop or energy room, shrug. Dutch and I dropped most things that we could think of - functional wise - into the base, including the (IMO) grossly overpriced Monitor Bank, which generates mediocre control for a LOT of salvage that we could have put into something else...
So I've noticed we've got like half a dozen alts in the 10-15 range... Anyone up for another TF soon? I want to do Positron with Poweramp before he gets to a point where he doesn't really benefit from it. 12 would be ideal, with DOs and a new power, we should be able to cream though it (and a few levels I'd bet!). Not a great plan for those trying to complete as many contacts as possible, but great XP and a good time for all I expect the next time I take Poweramp in will get him to 12, or near to it, so either this coming weekend or before would be cool.
Anyway, enough of the writing stuff.
It seems we have a full base then, now for the upgrade .
We can probaly focus on "dressing up" the base a bit.
As for the Prestige lead , you probaly catch me up sometime.
Another TF is good. With such players we have nothing to fear.

Trouble is with taskforces is that until you actually do it, you don't know what your going to be facing, in that respect I would say I was glad you bought him along.
Ok some of us had done it before but even so, it's never a given that it will run the same and in fact probably never does.
In hindsight we could have probably done it with Tech and maybe we may do it again sometime or we could do the same team but at a harder setting, I might even turn my armour off for you.
Suffice it to say I think we all enjoyed it and it certainly made me want to do more and the same.

Well Red Cleaver just dinged 12 which I can hold at that level for Positron.
(Only got training origins but hey he is a tank I'll survive ok )
Weekend is probably better but give a yell if you feel like doing it earlier and If I'm solo it won't be a problem. I prefer to team these days with good friends than be on my own to be honest.
(My new creation Red Earth is lvl.4 Earth/kinetics controller a more useful hold set early on than the Mind set of Red Rays so I can work on him a bit too if that's of more use).
Just to clarify my recent toons are all starting with Red it's from being a ginger nut rather than poaching 'Reds' name. Though I suppose I could tell K that the name is in honour of 'Red Lace' (hmmm I wonder if she'll fall, I mean, believe that one ?)
Anyway I'm getting more verbose than Tech so I'll end it here and see you guys later perhaps.
Ok let's line Positron up for the weekend sometime. Anyone got preferences?
If we do a Sunday it looks like 10.30ish will be the usual start with Dutchy having familytime beforehand, no biggie there as a lie in is always appreciated
Or we could do it Saturday, but not sure if any/everyone is available. Dutch was out RPing or something last weekend, and I don't know if that was a regular thing or what, plus this Saturday I have to go out and buy a birthday present for Puma (everyone PM me ideas! lol). But after that I should be available.
I'd prefer it Saturday if possible, since then I could organise Synapse for Sunday, hehe.
I'm not sure who has toons around that level though, can ya throw your hands up if you want to do the Positron TF, and if Saturday avo (3pm onwards) or Sunday morning (10.30ish) is any good for ya. It's easy to get a toon to 10 (the minimum entry requirement), if someone wants to join but doesn't have one in range. 12 would be ideal, but I'd guess the TF would ding you to that anyway if you got in at 10, so you could DO up at that point.
Blade if you need some funds for Cleaver's DOs we can work all that out later in the week, I need some for Poweramp too.
Feel free to decorate the base Dutchy. The Raid TP room really should be arcane, like how I've got it, since it is an arcane TPer, and might as well leave the Vault in arcane too. But I'm not too bothered.
How high is poweramp now, since I have to lvl Dutch Courage then aswell lvl 8 atm.
What's the minimum requirment for Synapse? I have an hero toon at travel range but not sure how high must be.
(besides I always can take Dutch out, he doesn't have the bagde yet)
On the subject of my TT RPG, normaly I do it at fryday, but because of weather problems I had to prospone to saterday.
Saterdays how ever I normaly have to work until 1400 so I can be doing TF only at 1530 or later, since I have just not enuff energy to play until then. But other then that I can do TF at Sunday.

Got to 12 with Poweramp last night and Red kindly donated me a couple of hundred k for my DOs. I'll hook ya up another time tho man, or something.
We started the Positron TF last night too, just 4 of us (Me, Red, Dutch, C). Ouch it's hard at lvl 10! Those Vahz and CoT hurt... Anyway, should finish it tonight hopefully. I don't think Poweramp will hit 15 from it though, maybe 14... just. So if you still want to do it with Red Cleaver, I'll still join you. Actually I might bring one of my other toons, I've got loads that are almost or just in the 10 range. Probably Electrosity, he's been sitting at 9 for ages, need to move him along a bit. And dutch still has to do it with Dutch Courage (he's doing Blue Swordmistress at the mo).
Anyway, the day is draaaaging along, can't wait to get out of work
Someone write something I can reply to

Yeah I would like that. I'm not in a rush to move him on, as I'm busy trying to get DK up to the level of the big guns in the SG, and you may not be in the mood to do it so soon after already doing it once this week.
I can hold Cleaver there for a bit and I'll wait for when you are ready so we can arrange it or at least set it in motion. Sounds like it might require more than a few hours to complete
Also I have Red Earth at level 5 an earth/kinetics controller which I believe will perform better than my mind controller which had only 2 holds and one was sleep which works ok but one hit and they wake up, and also confuse is a good power but needs about 3 applications before it holds a boss and takes about 10 seconds to apply.He may be better later on after having some of the other powers in the set, but for the previous attemp at Positron I wasn't impressed.
I may try to get Red Earth to level 10 so I can pick and choose too, and having a choice of archtypes is more useful. It shouldn't take long. Might be able to do that before weekend without it interfering with DK's leveling plans
Anyway see what you think. Probably not much to reply to in this post but it'll give you something to read
waffle, waffle, waffle.
Don't I go on?
(It's hard to believe I'm so quiet in real life).
LIKE OMG!!!!! Our modem at home is screwed No CoH!! What will I do?? I will text you Tech if it is back on when I get home, fingers crossed, but C says the modem is defo the problem, he is gunna ring linksys tomorrow I think

Your modem screwed, techs comp doing wierd disconnects
What's up with your comps lately, it seems I'm the only one with relative no problems despite the occesinal lag/server hiccups.
Hope you make it tonight guys
another forum hiccup

Heh apart from the super-double post power it seems to have occasionally
Seriously though, hope you get sorted there Red and C, sucks when good hardware goes bad.
As for my comp, the issues are
1. It's a laptop
2. It's an OLD laptop
3. I'm still trying to find/decide on a new machine
The problem with 3 is that I need one with decent specs so that it will last a couple of years, since I tend to be a replacer, not an upgrade, and it has to be a decently low price. Another prob with buying a computer is 'where am i'. If I make a new comp and then don't get a visa to stay in the UK, it's just another piece that I have to find a way to ship home. And what do I do with my laptop...
Shrug.
Someone work out a decent price for me for a decent machine. The way I figure I'll need a 7800 GT (or higher/similar) graphics card, a CPU, some RAM, a Mother Board (with onboard non-AC97 sound preferably), a case and power supply. I have a hard disk and dvd-writer already, and my projector and wireless keyboard and mouse will switch over to it for that. It seems that that looks like it will cost about 700 squid . I don't want to pay that. I don't even know if I want AMD or Intel yet.
Shrug again.

Ah well.
Oh, Red, if you can't get on, mind if Dutch and I progress the TF a bit anyway? We won't complete it without yas, but I was planning to play Poweramp tonight and get him a travel power... and really don't fancy hunting all that way.
Though I could work on Electrosity if you'd rather we didn't. Nix biggie. Dutch could bring on Dutch Courage, he's still lvl 8 and Elec is lvl 9.
Hmm I don't have that one yet might get it laters
