This is pure madness! excellent!
Good luck finding the people, I dont have time for one never mind four 
Should maybe consider starting a little earlier though, that first TF is a killer.
I'd like to bring Kin along for the first (only one he needs for badge).
Could be tempted by all the inf I'd get from the rest!
So, estimated completion time of 4 AM? I think you're more than a little crazy but good luck.
Crazy is good - sign me up - I've got the whole weekend free

--Here's a brakedown of the missions from Psygon--
Shadow Shard 1 (40-44): 24 Missions - 5 defeat alls, 6 hunts, 13 objective/ghostable missions
Shadow Shard 2 (40-50): 15 missions - 5 defeat alls, 2 hunts, 8 objective/ghostable missions
shadow Shard 3 (44-50): 33 Missions - 3 defeat alls, 8 hunts, 19 deliverys, 2 objective/ghostable
Shadow Shard 4 (44-50): 22 Missions - 7 defeat alls, 9 deliverys, 6 objective/ghostable, and 5 AVs and about 3 missions which require at least 4 players present to activate glowies at the same time
[/ QUOTE ]
Not to put a dampner on things, but most of the missions that 'appear' ghostable (i.e Defeat leader and guards) aren't due to 'fanclubs' (unless thats been changed) and the lies (Some of the Defeat Leader and Guards are actually defeat all but don't tell you)
These 'fanclubs' can see through stealth etc and will attack you till you die and curse skyward, 
and if you rez they'll auto come after you
It's sometimes quicker just to plow through the mission rather than sending someone to the boss room, who get's fanclubed on the way or who tp's you all and you clear the room, only to find out you actually have to kill all.
Ael's Shadow Shard speed tips are:-
1. Whole teams fights towards boss room, save's time if while ghosting you get attacked by fanclub and if the Defeat Boss and Guards/Click 4 Glowies is actually a hidden defeat All. On the face of it it may seem slower, but for a team that's going to be together all day, it will be quicker cos you'll know each others' play style inside out.
2.TP or Fly + Recall Friend are your friend in the Shadow Shard, makes it quicker for those with SS & SJ.
3. The first two take the longest and honestly, fight Positron for the most boring TF's in existence, so be careful you don't fall asleep before the coolness of the last two (the final mission in each of these is awesome)
4.With a team of 8 that only changed slightly each time, we did the first in under 7hrs (we were told it'd take at least 9), the 2nd in around 5 (again, we were told at least 8), the third is the quickest, only took 2.5, and the 4th took about 3.5. That was over a period of 4 weeks, and sometimes split over two nights with the occasional 'wrong turn', shall we say So 16hrs is doable for a team once its in the groove.
5. Lastly, since it's a marathon, it's probably better if you don't have a specific '1hr' were everyones afk, because you'll lose your rythmn. Just alternate afk's whilst doing missions, it won't really affect the team much to lose 1 player for a mission (as long as everyone doesn't do it at the same time 
), as long as your all there at the start of the TF and in the last mission
Have fun guys, and shout out how your doin on Global/Arena chat 
Ael: heheh thanks for the advice and the well wishes Good to have some comments on how long these may take. Never done that first shard TF so am a bit worried by it
Dbeaver: I have us another scrapper!
Zootoxin, Katana/SR scrapper is going to come along for the fun too
add incandesce to the list, wouldn't mind giving this a shot
Edit: oops forgot to put Archetype 
Ill/kin
Thanx for the tips Ael, input from thoes who have done these TF's is deffo appreaceated
1) DBeaver - Assault Rifle/Energy Minupulation
2) Golden_Girl - MA/Regen Scrapper
3) ExtraGonk - Warshade
4) Psygon - Illusion/Empath Controller
5) Zootoxin - Katana/SR Scrapper
6) Incandesce - Illusion/Kinetics
--Possible
Kinetik - Grav/FF
2 (possibly) 1 space left for this once in a life time oppatunity of madness hehe, i think were gonna need a tank though if we cant find one, Gonk can tank with his WS lol.
I'll knock up a propper plan for this, possibly on thursday, going in blind isnt a good idea, i'll be using bits from Psygon's mini-guide and Ael's mini-guide (if you guys dont mind hehe) and a lot of guess work using the no future - might knock some time off lol.
Last thing (for now) i might make a video of all of this but i'll need more than just 1 camera angle and i also need videos of the empty corridors and full corridors (although some might be abel to done with normal missions) aswell as whatever else i think of - would like some opinions on this and possibly some volanteers for other angles and stuff.
This is gonna be soooooo good :P

Two questions - is everyone on the list absolutly certain they can last the distance?
And what do you want to record this for?
@Golden Girl

I'm up for it with my lvl43 scrapper.... almost 44 so if not 44 by saturday, the 1st 2 TFs will give me it
And I'm in for the duration! Hopefully everyone else is
NOTE: Biggest time saver is to log and let someone solo spawn whole map. Have done all SS TFs and they never took more then 3-3½ hours each.
@Cha'ron:
Cha'ron-lvl50 Controller
Votary-lvl50 Scrapper
Logan W-lvl50 Scrapper
Destrer-lvl50 Tank
Panade-lvl50 Defender

we will have 2 sets of phantom army and 2 phantasms too who take a little of the aggro to let Gonk breath a bit
I'm just hoping I can make 41 by saturday else I'm facing the prospect of starting these TFs without a travel power

Of course we can! Well, Dbeaver, Gonk and I can - it's a matter of honour. We can't let Task Force Saturday down!

any chance someone might have recall friend? i have a feeling i'll be missing a few of the jumps by a few yards heh 
i've got tp friend in my warshade so shouldnt be a hassle there (been tping psygon around the last 20 levels )
@ExtraGonk
On the 22nd Of July 2006, i will be trying something that i dont think has been tried before-
4 task forces in one go, and not just any task forces - its the Shadow Shard Task Forces.
Dr. Quaterfield - Portal Smasher Badge
- Guide Link: http://www.nofuture.org.uk/coh/story...tail.php?id=12
- TF Level: 40-44
Sara Moore - Destroyer of Strenght Badge
- Guide Link: http://www.nofuture.org.uk/coh/story...etail.php?id=9
- TF Level: 40-50
Justin Augustine - Protector of Kindness Badge
- Guide Link: http://www.nofuture.org.uk/coh/story...tail.php?id=10
- TF Level: 44-50
Faathim the Kind - Slayer of Madness Badge
- Guide Link: http://www.nofuture.org.uk/coh/story...tail.php?id=11
- TF Level: 44-50
The level limit for the final two task forces is 44-50, so unfortunatly people under 44 wont be abel to take part.
Im looking for 7 people willing to do this, 7 people who have all the time in the world to run all 4 task forces at once, no leavers (crashes dont count hehe) and no time wasters as there will be no brakes longer than 1 hour (although the odd "afk" isnt too bad).
Any missions that can be 'ghosted' will be to save time.
--Here's a brakedown of the missions from Psygon--
Shadow Shard 1 (40-44): 24 Missions - 5 defeat alls, 6 hunts, 13 objective/ghostable missions
Shadow Shard 2 (40-50): 15 missions - 5 defeat alls, 2 hunts, 8 objective/ghostable missions
shadow Shard 3 (44-50): 33 Missions - 3 defeat alls, 8 hunts, 19 deliverys, 2 objective/ghostable
Shadow Shard 4 (44-50): 22 Missions - 7 defeat alls, 9 deliverys, 6 objective/ghostable, and 5 AVs and about 3 missions which require at least 4 players present to activate glowies at the same time
----
The marathon will start about 12pm BST (1pm CET) and is expected to take about 16 hours, including brakes.
So, have you got time to spare, wanna run 4 long task forces in one long day, got the guts to try?
