I can make myself available at any time this weekend. Itll be nice to know anyones available time slots. The sooner the better I think. I rather just do it.

I am available any time except late night on Saturday and Sunday.
Anann is a BS/DA scrapper, and I do have and love Soul Transfer (have all of DA except CoF), she should be in the level range by next week-end easily. She is on Union and I'll admit I've lost track of which server you're planning on doing this on. I'm available daytime saturday and sunday evenings

I'm free Saturday from about 3PM (BST) & Sunday all day, Sunday would suit me best cause I may feel the urgent need to get to the pub Saturday night 
From memory Xtream my BS/DA had the leadership pool, CoF & OG. Since I have Conserve Power from Body Mastery Epic endurance is normally no problem, I also have Focused Accuracy from Epic pool, so my attacks tend to be very accurate, with a good percentage of criticals.
Unfortunately, I don't have IO sets yet but I did fully slot with standard IO to get the percentages up while I save 4 IO sets on all my chars.
I might take a look at Xtream tonight & see if I can put a few IO sets into heals, defence or possibly CoF, OG & Leadership pool.
Edit - Oh yeah, I have Soul Transfer too

The scrapper I use to tank AVs with is on SOs.
Not kidding.
Brains/Braun.
There is stuff I am holding back on.
Its not all about shields. Those that keep looking there are gonna miss out other sometimes better solutions. Shields are good for most of the game like everyone knows but the game is completely doable without IOs. If you PVP you need the planner in my Sig for example and IOs more than you do for PVE. The game is completeable with SOs np. Another beauty with IOs is that you can find slots and lose powers in order to have a the more playable concept you were looking for.
@Anaan. I moved my scrapper to Defiant cos more people from Defiant were up for it at the time to go on test. I have next to no friends on Defiant and tons of people who resent me but thats no different to Union.

Looks like Sunday morning BST is shaping up to be the time most people can make it. Personally i'd prefer sometime on Saturday, but Sunday's doable... I should be available until about 4:30-5PM on Sunday.
And I wouldn't rely on test staying up... issue 11 taking up all of the techies' time and all that... 
I (too) am getting sick of looking at the title. My scrapper is at IP right now incase a random team of 7 scrappers turn up despite the thread lacking in a headcount. The scrapper tanking AVs method will blow the game for some people. I am wondering if that Oreo thingy (repeating mission thing) will allow me to go thru the Praetorian AV Arc once again with my scrapper. AVs are my thing really, will it or is just stuff you haven't done before?
The next STF for my scrapper is an all scrapper STF and I will do nothing less

Sheesh, talk about not much warning!!
Only nine Scrappers in the 45-50 range on the server at the moment...
Well, I didn't know you were planning to give it a go today, I was on this morning but working on my Union scrapper dunno whay all this PMing and stuff for then not telling about it.
No, there was no planning for today as their wasn't enough people available. I counted 5, available as off Thursday, not 8, my mates from Union just don't fancy paying 12 pounds to goto Defiant and then return to Union (Union is where they PvP). I paid 5.99 for my Ninja/TA to go zukunft villains (its actually good there so no problem) and 5.99 to put my scrapper on defiant. Thats 12 pounds so far. In time this'll happen. PM me names over time, I am sick of the title, talking about it and never doing it. After talking to Maelwys, with his knowledge this should be less harder than I first figured and I figured it do able with a low defeat count.

I think we should do this before the end of the year.
u ever think about doing this on test so both servers can do it instead of trying to find 8 scrappers on the same server for it?
"Yes".
Read here as well as the first half of this thread...
Lets say we have 12 days of xmas holidays.
One person says I can only do Xmas day and Sat and Sun.
*Shannon throws in the towel*
Because I know what happens next. Its just a weekend like any other weekend. Its still a weekend at a time when not everyone can make it and one person who says they'll show will fail to. It will lead to postponement to postponement and a thread I get sick of looking at.
I have very recently just before xmas spoken to ppl on defiant to have my scrapper on a STF team that isn't going for the MoSTF and will allow me time to play with them again as its been ages. RV and Grandville are different. I expect certain key things to of not changed though but you never know and before bringing this up again I hoped to see the result of it.

Of course, if we actually had a time/date PICKED, we might actually get 8 scrappers together...
The last few times it's been 'attempted' we've had half a day's notice if that. So if you still want to run this Shannon, test server or live, just pick a set time and date and post a notice of the event a week or two in advance. Screw anyone who can't make it, and run the TF with the people that turn up on the day.
At least that way we'd get something done...
Exactly. If I know a time I can try to be on, if I dont I will just log in when I feel like it (which isn't all that much at weekends when sleeping and reading are also options)
"Well, they found my diary today.
They were appropriately appalled
at the discovery of the eight victims
They're now putting it all together.
Women wrapped in silk
with one leg missing
Eight legs, one body, silk,
spider, brilliant!"
The dates previously picked by me were as a result of rounding dates down from people who said they were interested and gave details on most likely availableness.
I am interested in those who are actually interested in finding out how we are going to do this.
I am also interested in knowing what they can do.
I am not interested in any random people with just any motive.
I left it as, if your interested, then PM me.
Last "new person" to PM me was Uzzi. I discussed ways of doing things with Uzzi ingame and he sounded convinced we got this. Last person to discuss it with me was Nightmarer who can only do Sat or Sun iirc. I also have recently added Firekitty on one of my globals for it.
One would like to do it Sat Morning 9 am. No random pick ups. Now this is the least amount of time I have personally given. I wasn't the one who with just seeing 4-5 names decided that it 'looked' like things were on a Sun with 3 days left .
I am sick of the thread. Indifference meets Indifference. I am in 2 minds to forget it. It just is so and so would do it at this time and so and so would do at this time then a last minute pull out I do know about or a last minute pull out/no show I see on the day.
Know what forget it. I don't have time it anymore.

Easy please, easy. It is true I said I can only do this at weekends or Xmas day itself since I have no Xmas Holidays (unfortunately for me). I also said if I am the only person who can't do this on a scheduled date, go ahead with it and then tell me all about it (in fact I said if you guys try this without me, better be successful or I'll pester you all forever about how much you needed me in the TF ).
So far we've been here for quite some time being interested on this, the proof is that we are still wondering when/if it can be done. I think Cynic and Maelwys are right, instead of bombarding Shannon with individual PM's, perhaps a date can be scheduled and then we see who can and who can't and if new ppl signs for it, then have plenty of time to find out of their motivations, committment to the task, etc..

I used your words to me as an example. I get it often. Its not the only one. People are available at different times, that is the way it is and to extend things I talk to people outside of the forums. They give me a rough idea of when to best say a time. One person may not want to do it at 9 am cos ti means they have to get up whilst another says no later than such and such. I could give a time and that doesnt mean ppl will show. I can move things about my schedule and so can 6 others only for 2 people just to wake up and roll back over thinking someone else can replace them. I may of spent almost everyday leading up to the date thinking about it only for nothing to happen.
1) I don't want it easily repeatable anywhere at anytime.
2) Since August things could of changed that most players might never notice. This means I'd rather test it all again.
3) I am not 100% sure about everything myself. Itll be a team effort and I want the right ppl (not from certain sgs).
4) What goes on tour stays on tour.
What I am doing and have done is shown some ppl some tricks, without going into the ingredients and told them not to say anything. I play 4/5 my tanks anonymously so nothing "special" is asked of me. A date to do this has me everyday leading to it; obsessing about it; going over things, over and over; with the what ifs and I'd rather age at a slower rate. Very important for is, is to have 7 scrappers not to leak a thing and when the words demorecord came up I thought "no way". I am happy with a few trusted friends knowing some tidbits. On heroes/villains I don't care what power sets are played. I care how they are played.
Indifference can meet indifference. If anyone wants to work out what I do, start by being selfless and take a taunt power.

are meant to be some sort of scrapper god? coz to me u snd abit big headed lol
ne way i hope this oes well wld like to know how it went as i have a very tasty spines/regen my self.
Its not going to happen. The levels of quality, quantity and qualm mismatched.
Pointless self name dropping and unconstructive posts that show one hasn't read the whole thread is therefore wasteful.

Crikey, 8 pages and a little over 4 months and it's still not done. Lord Recluse will have gone grey by the time you get around to this. xD
I decided to leave it. I was morally concerned by it in a way and hated the days running up to it on test. I hated trying to get everyone available in one place and I was selective on who I'd want to see what it is I'd be doing and in who has the problem solving skills in overcoming what needs to be worked out. People who have done TFs have had people say "right thanks for the XP I have levelled now so I am off" or "cheers all my debt is paid off" or in cavern trials "which cave is mine again?" (fight thru) or "how do I click the stone?". I don't have time for that with pick ups and the techniques used I wanted secure.
A few trusted friends (defiant or union) have seen me do different tidbits of things they ain't never seen before ( and explained a couple of things to Sitriel once on zukunft). Its because most people don't stop and think outside of any boxes and go directly into key mash mode or lack time played that they haven't seen what it is I show them.
Can an invuln scrapper tank a Mother Mayhem with just a TA for support? Yes they can. If people "go how?" then "good" for they have something to find out for themselves. Thats why I wanted no demo record (if you read back through the history it frightened me off). You can overcome more by not thinking what you can do but instead in what the team can do. You must of noticed that a lot of what goes on in game is not stop and think use your power with my power and then I'll keep using this power its run in and mash keys and then someone says "right I'll get my 'insert higher level here'" or "we need a healer".
For this thread to keep on going is just necromancy.

I dont know about Aeon.
It's 5% -Tohit base and VERY endurance heavy, so slotting is tricky. Given that Oppressive Gloom costs far less endurance and is much more useful on a AoE-damage toon, not many /DAs take CoF for PvE these days.
Also bear in mind that it'll be applying less than half that -tohit value when you're fighting +4 AVs, so realistically you'd actually be better off taking Combat Jumping or Maneuvers for the defense buffs (!!).

I was simply thinking about getting through the missions XD. I had a post on these forums with a listing of LRs resistances extra "roughly". Modified in lvl and modified in the changes since i7 which is what most people would look at but I can't find it. I had it on excel. Excel is on my old pooter which went kaput otherwise I'd repost it in a jiffy here. I did think sod it I will have to leave the game because itll be a long time before I can afford a new one whilst the old one was on its last legs, occasionally shutting down itself. Now it stops and starts. If i can get it running in a cold cold place I can get my excel back and do something like make a copy. I am on a new pooter, can't afford it really but I just couldn't stop myself.

I think herding the clones is where you're going wrong on a Scrapper heavy team.
[/ QUOTE ]
No I was just saying with Shannon, I actually herd the lot, not that thats what we will do. The seperating would be new on me. I normally try to make sure that everything there is all taunted and then people start. Scrappers can drop like a stone during that part.
For Kiting Aeon a Regen may stand out better. First remove all the men around him that aren't not clones, one leading Aeon away and sometwo taking the clones, and 5 on the rest then go get supply of insps then do Aeon with everything we got, DAs to take one for the team in order to use Soul transfer just as the Invulns are in on Unstoppable, then we nuke perhaps and see how it turns out. I never needed a seperation or tried for one so it'll be new on me. What we can do with him that depends on whose in team. One of my mates is a regen with taunt but he is also, the already mentioned somewhere in these posts, the one with the broken digit. He'd have to transfer from Union but I need to know if he can play.Damage should be alright as scrappers I would of thought.
