Raz VS the Shadow Shard


BadPanda

 

Posted

Hey all, I'm not totally sure where to put this Post, so I'll put it here as its to do with "Union" as a main.


Now, I'm not sure if this has been done before, but I'm feeling confident with my Controller, that I MIGHT be able to do it - and I want to try it

I've read that that "Portal Smasher" Task Force is one of the Longest running TFs going, as well as most people avoid it like the plague.. and it's the only one I have never done, and I want to do it.

So my proposal is this:

================================================== =

::: For first time as I'm aware of, I want to attempt to do the WHOLE 'Shard TF "SOLO".

Thats right... "SOLO".

Just me, and the 3 Imps vs whatever the TF will throw at me.

Obviously not in one day, but over time, as I can fit in.

And I need a little help to do it.

So, I would like, any advice/info people can give me, from those that have done this SS-TF: what to expect, tactics, etcetc - so I have first-hand experienced knowledge of that TF.

Then I need 7 people, to just come into Firebase Zulu with me when I'm ready and help me start this TF, once started, they can go on there merry way.

I know it's probably a long-shotted venture - but I'm bored.. and I feel like a challenge.

================================================== =

So if anyone has any advice or willing to help start up the TF, it'll be appreciated.

Raz, I have never done them and so have no advice to offer.

I had to post just to point out, however, that you are a TOTALLY MENTAL DUDE.

Insane.

Cookah.

Wibbly in the head.


Gooooood luck!!!!!!!!!! (hope you pull it off)

It would be perfectly doable on your own if not for the mish where you'll need 4 people to click a glowie at the same time.

The TF starts with a bunch of 'Kill X in place Y' and goes on with 'Defeat all' and 'Defeat Boss', no AVs, no timed, etc. Just slaughter a bunch of Creys, Rularuu and nemmies.

The only problem to solo it are the mish where you have to click the glowies together.

Don't worry Raz - all you have to do is have 3 compatriots who are helping you to start it stay IN the task force while they play other toons, then you call them up and have them do the glowie click when you're ready.

Should be easy with all the unplayed 50s rattling around

Not sure if you'd have a problem with ambushes as the mobs might scale. In 8 man teams however who ever usually enters a lift first gets swamped by a large group of enemies all attacking the same target which usually results in death.

So, to start I'll need 8 people, and for the glowies, i'd need at least 4 people to remain in the TF as i do it, and if they're "nice" enough, they'll stay in the TF long enough till I get to those parts. Easy enough,

Well the TF will sort it self for a 1 man team as it wud jsut be me there.. I'd be on heroic (hey i'm mad, but not crazy! :P), and I'd have 3 imps and fire cages / bonfire / powerboost / char / cinders ... soo, if I can handle level 53 Malta solo on my Kronos arc, I think I'll be ok. But I'm going through TF notes on the websites I can find, to make sure I'm prepared, and I'll have an Alt on my other account, standing by or Insps/Awaken-duty :P lol as well as the Coffee machine on "RED-ALERT".

::: I'm maybe looking at starting this on the roll Sat/Sun - depending on who I can find to help me start it.. Sooner I start, the Sooner I move through it. Got sum alterations to make on my Controller, but otherwise Weekend start looks good.

At my playing, possible estimated-time to get that said TF completed: End of next-week, maybe even sooner.

OOoo.. did I mention that for helping me, those that stay and help with those "4 glowie" missions are invited to remain on the TF (not with me till then of course) and come back for the LAST mission, as a sign of appreciation.. ie : Portal Smasher awarded for ending the TF? no? well.. I've just mentioned it.

OMG! OMG!
*feels Raz's forehead*
you feel okay?
you must be ill to try such a crazy plan.
soloing the Shard TF.
OMG! OMG!

...I wish you the very best of luck and hope this works out well.
I'm willing to bring Jewely online to help you start it and give you a good luck "hug" (RP) , but you'll have to PM me before you start, as i will most likely be on one of my alts at that time.

You get this done, and my respect for you will be even bigger then it is allready.
But i want a full report, and if possible see some screenies of you getting facepl...i mean you beating up the bad-guys in the Shards.

Good luck!

Raz, I would say your crazy, but you have a sonic/energy blaster so you can't be!

I'll help, and I should be on global around to help with the 4 simultaneous glowies.

Give me a time.


He will honor his words; he will definitely carry out his actions. What he promises he will fulfill. He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.

Okay.. as posted I will be attempting this Shadow Shard TF, Solo, using 8 people to help me start it, and 4 at least, of those willing will remain on that TF until needed, so those willing to remain, must let me know for sure ASAP, so I can get the final details down.

================================================== =========

Detail Summary as follows:

1) Shadow Shard Task Force: Dr. Quarterfield "Explorers and Exploiters" (Portal Smasher TF badge) Task Force Details

2) Estimated Time to start is: Sunday afternoon (4pm). Unless anyone has a problem with that one I will accomodate people on this factor and arrange a suitable time to start.. so input is needed there, so we can all meet up, at a acceptable time.

(Those helping please send me a PM in game to @Raziel or on the forum (PM wise), so i can get the names down ready.)

3) Those that remain on that TF to help with Glowie missions are being given the choice to come back on the last mission as well, and gain said "Portal Smasher" SS-TF badge free, for they're help in this endeavour.

4) Those that remain on the TF, are asked NOT to interfere in that TF in anyway shape or form. Do not even re-enter the Shadow Shard if needs be, do not attempt ANY mission remaining on the TF, unless otherwise told/asked to do so. I will be keeping track of my progress on this Forum, so people who are interested will know how things are going.

5) Estimated time to complete the TF "solo" 1 week or less depending on game play, I estimate tho at my gaming times.. about so, or less.

================================================== =========
