Congratulations matey. You should be proud of yourselves. It's no mean feat to beat an AV that is 2-3 levels above you in a duo. Very well done 
How long did that take us? 3-5 hours? I didnt count. Really fun though. And my reward ended up being a Recipie worth 4 mil, sweet. :P
I think it took us about three hours. Nothing more, really.
Anyway, for everybody who wants to see the post as it should've been, here it is, on the GameAmp forums.
Nicely done, congratulations! That is something to be proud of.
Though I do have one question:
[ QUOTE ]
To my surprise, Archus was extremely easy to defeat (I've heard people with great teams say he took over three hours to defeat).
[/ QUOTE ]
I've never heard anyone having that kind of trouble before, seriously. What is it about Archus that's meant to make him so tough? The one time I've done the Ice Mistral SF I found him no harder than your average AV.

Nothing you can do except provide links to them, as you have done.
Nah, he mis translated what I said, I said 'I saw a picture and the caption was 'The SF took 3 hours,because we kept dieing at Archus.' :P I didnt mean that.
Well then, blame my l33t skillz!
Damn I was hoping for some more responds :P

I've never had trouble with Archus that lasted three hours, but I was on a team (A very good team with good players) where we were wiped out when we charged Archus. It was all due to the huge ambush that came. Then when we all arrived back from the hospital, the ambush spawns had replaced all the spawns we had to kill to get down to Archus. We wiped again. Eventually we did kill him. It just took about an hour.
I think that is the trouble people speak about when doing this SF. The ambush can be really hard to survive at times.

I have absolutely no idea if this is anything special (I'm afraid not, but still). It made me and my friend feel quite special so we decided to make a forum post anyway.
I went to Warburg and grabbed all three of the nukes (the buff, the debuff and the [censored]-zomg-he-nuked-me one), and I went to Bloody Bay to grab some Shivans.
.
Thundercharge - level 38 Energy Melee/Electric Armour Brute (me)
Envoy of the End - level 35 Robotics/Dark Miasma Mastermind (lackeyed by me to level 37)
Preparations came more from my side than Envoy's
Envoy forgot his Shivans and his nukes, but luckily we didn't need them.
Envoy and Thunder stand ready to enter the first mission, a fairly simple defeat all with CoT. Not too hard, though the enemies were of a higher level than we expected. I was 38, and I was lackeying Envoy, we expected enemies to be of level 38/39 but they were 40/41. Still, it wasn't too hard.
Thundercharge beats the [censored] out of the Circle of Thorns in Cap au Diable in a hunt 50 CoT mission. Envoy is sitting around on his lazy butt watching his bots slowly kill the mobs :P
Envoy of the End and Thundercharge stand victorious after the third mission... unfortunately I forgot to take screenshots inside the mission, but it was soooo short... took about one minute to ghost the three crystals we had to destroy.
Fourth mission, and as you can see we are beating the [censored] out of an Acolyte of Archus in this outdoor map. Finding and destroying the eight crystals was fairly simple for me, and defeating the boss and his little friends went rather smoothly for me and Envoy.
Preparing for the fifth mission, a defeat all in a ship filled with Tsoo. Fairly simple, although all the Siphon Power/Speed was getting quite annoying and I have to admit that I died once
After a little break (Envoy had to go for a short while) we continued on to the sixth mission, another defeat all. Carnies in an office this time. Again, an Acolyte of Archus was around and they all went down pretty quickly. Mmm.
Here we stand. Ready to take down Archus, the Arch-villain of this Strike Force. We were a little worried, because we had expected him to be level 38, but he was 40.
After gathering up and summoning a Shivan Decimator to fight alongside us, Envoy DC'd and I had to wait... and wait... and after two seconds he came back. We resummoned, made a screenshot and buffed up with the Warburg nuke and plenty of purple/red inspirations. Then we charged in. To my surprise, Archus was extremely easy to defeat (I've heard people with great teams say he took over three hours to defeat). Unfortunately, Envoy died in the middle of the fight, but that couldn't stop me and my trusty Shivvy to continue the slaughter. In the end, we stood victorious.
Woot woot! A badge, a temp and some extra bragging rights (I think)!
So what do you people think? Should we be proud? Should we be embarrassed? Because I honestly don't know. I think I'll be proud for now.
Thanks for reading all this
