Oh yes, a quick Lusca hunt before we start couldn't hurt.
Sadly, I'm needed by my sister in law to move some furniture, so I may be late or absent.

We're going to need some rules.
Otherwise it'll be all over in 20 minutes.

Logging in to show my face for the Sunday team, but I might go to bed instead of playing...

Of course.
Teams must defeat every Giant Monster (including the rockies) in the trial. Also you must clear at least one of the three bridges. And clear the final room.
That should keep folks busy. 
EDIT: And the 'race' will only start from the point the timer starts - that is, when it's time to enter the cave. This doesn't mean everyone has to wait for all teams to be done with the hunt before continuing, simply that your race time will be taken from the value of your timer when you finish the TF!
EDIT: No Ambrosia form your SG's huge stockpile to be taken in!

Problem with that.
When you've completed the TF, you can't see the timer any more, on account of it saying 'Mission Complete'....

I say: Forget racing with time.
Race what team had more fun!
I would suggest paying attention when as the Titan falls then. A rough estimate will do (or a stopwatch) - chances are we won't need times measured to the nearest second.
Ah well, good luck guys. I'm only level 36 on Pole-Star so I won't be able to join you .

Well I believe I'm too low for Eden too, though not far from 39 but tbh I don't think I'd be in the mood, plus turning it into a race doesn't appeal because unless the team is made up identical then it's never going to be balanced. I don't have any invention origins in my build and at level 39 things like damage or health etc will be lower than a level 40 upwards.
I enjoyed the Katie Hannon TF , well until I found out it was a race and results were posted as public record to make it more humiliating. Felt like it was a PvP group I'd joined at that time. Anyway that's just my opinion and of course when it isn't about racing and just being a member of a pretty awesome unstoppable group of powersets and players, it's a great and fun evening. I don't regret joining it.

QFT
I had no idea you felt like that, sorry.
The race aspect was never intended to be anything other than a fun change of pace. I did not think people would take the results to heart as it wasn't meant to be a serious exercise.
Eh, sod it - let's not bother with Eden, race or no. More folks than I would want can't participate at this point anyway and making people feel left out is the exact opposite of how I saw the excercise.
Normal mission night tonight, we'll meet wherever the person who updates the MoTD thinks we should meet.
anyone up for a catch up session later this week? phanty is still at 38.
Very unlikely to make it due to an exceptionally few hours of sleep Sunday.
Have fun with whatever you go with.

The problem with not doing Eden now is that you can't autoexemp to Eden. Unless the person to start the TF is in the right range to do so, then it just aborts and disbands the team immediately.
Ditch the race aspect. Have teams of people in range doing Eden, have another team of people out of range doing something else until the Eden teams finish up.
Missing one of the best Trials/TF's in the game is not a good thing to do, IMO.

I'll make sure we get Eden done at some point. We can wait until the last man is in lvl range thoguh so not a problem of time right now.

Listening to the Green Bay Packers vs Dallas Cowboys game 
(and the Packers lost to boot!)
Well, my lot got Eden done, at least.
The time in that screenshot was with everything at ground level after the rock wall defeated. All 3 bridges cleared, final room cleared out, including the 4 heroes rescued, both Quarries defeated before working on the Rock wall, etc. etc.
Another crappy selection of recipes.
I think I got the best of the lot, with an Impervium Armor: Resistance recipe. Currently going for 13-20 million on the auctions, depending on what Icicle's +stealth is going for, of course. Not that we really tend to need +stealth IO's, since my team regularly runs at Stalker levels of stealth...
let me see if I can dig out the relevant section of the chat logs :

Yes yes, very nice. Now stop breaking the thread.
Grats on another successful TF run Canine. I can't wait to run Eden again myself, it's been too long for me.
In the meantime, happy to lvl up anyway I can to catch up with you lot!

Sorry for the lack of being present these last few weeks, its been a bit of apathy -- due to the fact that I've found myself playing my Storm/Elec of 38 levels less and less due to it almost being the same as playing de Wynter -- and not getting back home til after 7pm nearly pretty much every Monday.
The teams are 8-manned by the time I waltz in anyway, so its finally balanced, I bid you good levelling.
