MBar's TF Onslaught 8: Shadow Shard 1: Sun 9 April

Yup. It's time for the Big One (tm).

Now, this TF is a bit special in a couple of ways, so if you've not done it before and don't know much about it, please read this post before signing up / attending.

Shadow Shard Task Force 1 is the longest TF in the game. By a long way. 5 hunts (all relatively near the start) and 19 indoor missions including an assortment of Defeat All's. Expect this TF to take in excess of SEVEN hours, possibly as much as ten hours. Obviously, for this reason, we'll need to start early on Sunday morning to be done in acceptable time, and allow a couple of breaks in there etc. If you know you can't guarantee your participation until at least 8pm Sunday night, please don't come.

Task force information is here.

The level range is 40 - 44, so only high levels need apply. And I'll be running on Unyielding (for the crack of it), so the higher the better.

Required team size is a full 8 man team, which may prove awkward unfortunately ... but since there's no AV, we can get teams started with less than 8 and they should have little problems. Also, there are several missions requiring 4 people simulteanously activating glowies near the end.

If you've not been in the Shadow Shards much before, go have a look around. Access to Firebase Zulu in the Shadow Shard is through Portal Corp in Peregrine, there's a marker on the map in PI for it. If your travel power is Teleport or Fly, you'll have no problems, however SJ's and especially SS's will have to use the gravity geysers to travel between islands, which are managable but hard to use for some and hard to get used to. We will combat this by hopefully providing each team with someone with Fly/Teleport and Recall Friend.

Our meeting point is Dr. Quaterfield in Firebase Zulu at 10am on Sunday 9th April. He's on the right from the portal leading from Portal Corp.

Any questions, ask below or get me in-game @MBar.

Yeah, don't worry about the numbers already signed-up, I hate them all therefore will ignore the lot of them come Sunday.

But seriously, we're used to running multiple teams on these TF Sundays, and I'll do my best to get 2 or 3 balanced teams together out of those that show up.

Aw, this is the only shards TF I haven't done but I can't make it this week

I'll offer joining-to-start services, if you're lacking team members, but then if you had enough you could do 4-4-8 (etc) easy enough I guess

But that doesn't leave redundancies, if people get fed up...

Shrug.

To minimize drop outs, is the general rule that if a mission can be ghosted, that it will be?

I know from looking at the detail of the 20+ missions that make up this TF that some are just kill the end boss and minions.

If there are people that want to kill everything can they team together and people that want to complete asap then they team together? Think that will mean that people are happier, less frustration etc less people having to leave if it lasts 10 hrs as opposed to 7?
