Skull Bender would help ya start any you need dude (lvl 50 controller), but I wouldn't bother coming back for the final mission just for the badge, would help if need be at any points though, Tech Tower is my badger, and I'd rather not lock him into TFs that I wouldn't be taking part in 
(plus he has them all except sewer trial and shadow shard 2)
Good luck to ya either way.
you dont need to explain yourself at all. You posted asking for help to start a TF and some people jumped down your throat. That's their problem, not yours. Don't worry about it and have fun whilst doing the tfs!
Me and my mate are duoing all the tfs in the game as a controller/scrapper - just finished posi and we intend to only use arcs/hunting to level up enough to get to the level range for the next TF.
tf's are much more fun than doing random missions and also more challenging in my opinion.

Sorry, but where in the OP does it say that he is asking for help from people to start the TF? All i can see is a post stating the fact that he is going to be doing every TF from the Freedom Phalanx.
Now, I'm not sure how that concerns the rest of Union, so I ("we" by most of the reply's) guess that he is doing that to "big himself up".
However, goodluck with your TF spree Raz, I'm sure it will be as rewarding as doing the SS TF solo.

The WHOLE idea was I wanted to end my CoH career, be known for doing something "noteworthy" or "big enough to be remembered", rather than the flaming that goes around the game about me, when half of you don't even know the full facts about it?!?!

Similarly to you Raz I am a completist and doing things differently to the majority of the people playing this game. I've tried to get as many badges as possible, done the arcs which is very rewarding if at points challenging and boring, now im trying my hand at pvp, even trying to revive the fire/fire tank which is proving painful 
. I completely understand where your coming from but reading through your post conveys a different persona as have been stated previously by a fair few people and tbh thats the way I see you aswell. Good luck with them though.

Especially seeing as Phil has already done most of the 'Überamazing' things you have, and done so in a more difficult manner (with a PB, getting every arc, including the epic ones, harder and more impressive than doing then just the non epic ones, with a Spines/Regen, imho), and he didn't broadcast his progress on Arena, either.
As for you're defense against the argument with PvPers Vs. Raz over Arena, those participating in the said event repeatedly asked for channel silence which you were unwilling to give (myself included, even though I was only soloing with my blaster PvE at the time), before the flames from n00bs decended into our beloved Union AC, (it all went a bit defiant ), and you were mainly trying to create a humourous situation for the benefit of your 'mates', at the expense of those who wished to use the channel for its intended purpose and wish you to stop cluttering it up with your dribble (which was in all fairness a fair comment).
And as for your "Oh, the thread wasn't meant to be a big huge big up to myself" claim, try calling the thread "Need help from others in soloing tfs" rather than "Me against the world" (in which the world will be spawned for a single character, Spines/Regen, no less )
Also your comment on the use of abuse on this thread is kinda hypocritical, considering the most(and only imo) malicious insult on this thread was [ QUOTE ]

And btw if this sounded malicious or aggressive that is your own perception, however it is my humble opinion to which I am entitled, and I have attempted to try and keep a logical voice (if sometimes satirical ) throughout.

heh.. 1min people are "good luck" next thread "boo hiss"

weird tho.. no one bothered to say all this, in this thread when I posted about the Shadow Shard one.. so why the HELL did they start on this one??
What exactly is the difference?

ay I remind you that the original intent was.. as I recall typing:
[ QUOTE ]
"And like the previous SS TF, those that help get a free badge on last mission"
[/ QUOTE ]
which for all intents and purposes would be the same as the Shadow Shard TF , I did, they know what I was doing, and it was me asking for help on starting such TFs, as if you read through the first few posts is evident enough that it was it's real intention.

Cherry seemed to understand, Brimmy as well, Lost did, Captain Morgan did... so did I miss something?

Before people point a finger at me.. people should point it a lil earlier on in the thread, then comment... all I'm seeing is "Raz you did this" and "Raz you did that".. when I did nothing wrong to start with.
Assumptions are a dangerous game...
at this point, this thread started its ball downhill. I think rather than people having a go at me, they should read exactly what this thread was about and start looking at where it went nasty.. because it definately wasn't me who pulled that first one..
Regardless enough now
what started out a new set like the Shadow Shard TF, has turned into a flame war against me, and what I've either done, not done, or going to do..

What I got was more than was necessary and some of it, uncalled for.

Like random threads, this has lost its actual meaning, so no point in having it up anymore - I simply wasted my time and those that had some interest in what I was planning on doing.
The reason we did not say anything before is that you had only done it once, and even though we quietly talked among ourselves how we thought it inappropriate for you to be 'bigging yourself up' we said nothing. However, it seems you are making quite the 'series' of soloing TFs and 'bigging yourself up' in them, so I presume Zak thought it necessary to tell you what he thought. Regardless of what you meant others to percieve, most of us saw this us the case.
Also seeing as you didnt make any attempt to counter-argue any of my points, I take it to mean I win? Do I win a teddy bear? or a cookie? or flames?

I'm sorry. but due to the first statement, that one nolonger has much value now .. as it's plainly obvious just how "two-faced" people are, and what they really thought to begin with, it just seems clear to me I gave them a clear opportunity, to flame me down.. stupid me for doing that.

Look around this thread.. is there any point really? I'#d be wasting my time trying to explain myself 10x over again, with even smaller words. So there is no point, i'd just be repeating myself over and over.

There's a difference between being two-faced and not voicing your opinion, due to the havok it would create, (much like this thread tbh )
And can I help it if I talk to my brother about what I think of things which I do not state on the forums?

"You should come inside the box... Then you'll know what I mean."
FYI, It was me that started the landslide, but do I regret it? no, I hate self boosting egotistical posts such as this to make yourself sound better than everyone else so the community can all stand back in amazment and simply go "wow!, raz is going to solo a TF!" - Not going to happen sunshine.
You may never get that in a solo mish, however doing a 8 man mish that is challanging where you can add pure support to a team, THAT I can say WoW at, otherwise my friend you are nothing but a waste of forum space.
There are logical and illogical ways of doing things, if however the post started with "I would like help with a TF" or the body of the original post was, "I would like to solo a TF, but will need help in starting it, could I count on 4 people?" that would of been a logical approch, instead of what has happend in this whole entire thread, but as pointed out, soloing TF's are no big deal, and yet the ones here who have done then all do not splat there ego about the forums informing people of such tasks.
To keep the grass greener, I STILL wish you the luck and hope you enjoy it.

And yours was a plain and simple rude.
So, you are right there..
You way. as you said, started the "landslide" so maybe it was a "wrong way" to do it.
But then again, I am just one person, and what one person does, relying on himself and his own experience of the game, is [censored] all compared to what a 8 man team does.
"The achievements of many outweigh the achievements of one.. cause he's a minority in this community... "
.. I think that just about covers the end of this thread entirely. (minus the flaming)
It's alreay been pointed out by certain people they're "true" thought's...
