Eh?
Is that even working? Last I heard it was still bugged.. sorry in development :P
Never done it. But I don't think it allows multiple teams of players to team up.
The closest we have to this idea of yours nowadays is a Mothership Raid and the Hamidon Raids.
I have never done a Hamidon Raid but Mothership Raids are confusing but fun. With the new rikti/zombie engine the end fight should be possible.
Blue Rabit however made me nervous about his remark about the infamous CoP that the developers just couldn't make happen. Is the CoP truly similar to this idea? And if so, does this mean this idea is doomed from the start?
Last I heard the CoP is being fixed and will be in I14. As for the OP's suggestion, completely agreed, need more events/instances in-game which can be done on a truly epic scale.

Nice idea - I've tried the CoP when it was briefly working and it was quite a lot of fun. Some non-SG multi-team content would be great.
I like some of the rewards - I seem to recall that when level 50 earnable respecs were in the pipeline previously, a dev of some description said it would be from a trial that was a real challenge.
Sort of moot now vet respecs and purchasable respecs are commonplace.
But the idea itself - definitely. The game needs more massive content.

could have it like a raid perhaps, where multiple teams fight multiple objectives, on a timer perhaps for door missions to keep everyone together?

They even mention something like this in the backstory, when good ol' Nemesis tried to take over the US of A. Teams had to stop his army, find him and find an antitode for the poison he was releasing into cities. IIRC or similar at least.
I like. CoP being fixed sounded good too =]

I dont see why this idea couldn't work.

The end is just a new beginning, Goodbye all my coh friends and even the enemies, its been a blast I will miss you all. Thank you Paragon team, you gave me a home from home I will always appriciate it.
It allowed for up to 32 players at the same time and was horribly, horribly borked. It's still being fixed AFAIK.

From what I understand of this is that it was borked for two reasons. The first was some kind of exploit where a mob you faced gave almost a levels worth of exp in one kill, so people were farming themselves to 50 in about a day without DXP 
Secondly, this was a SG trial and when it was started, whether you were in the event or not, you couldn't do any other missions until it was finished.
As a whole though, this suggestion gets a big /signed from me. I have no idea about coding but surely the SG wouldn't be an issue as it's done like a normal TF. They'd just need to work out how to code multiple teams to one instance for the last fight.
Is there a list of mobs anywhere and the level ranges they spawn at? For instance, the Lost spawn from around level 10 to 29, Vazhilok from 1 to 20-ish iirc.
I've Googled and searched but cannot find a list anywhere.
Just thought it might help in coming up with suitable groups and therefore a suitable plot.
COP was made for SGs. This idea doesn't have to be SG only. The start for this could be similar to arranging an arena event. The team leader from team A would talk to the contact, and would be placed in a waiting room whilst other teams joined. The Team B team leader would also join at this point if both team leaders were flagged as ready a start button would appear and allow the TF to start, or a third team leader could be added to the mix, and then start.
I like the idea's of the stories interconnecting the trials of the three teams. What would be nice if Team A finishes the first mission, Teams B + C missions become easier, or team C completes, teams A and Bs mission becomes easier so that it could be completed quicker. I honestly cant see it happen as would be too easily abused.
The only major floor I see with this suggestion is that Team B may power through all of the missions and be waiting on the other 2 teams before being able to enter the last map and complete the TF. I cant think of any way to make sure teams stay together in the mission arc leading to the battle without it becoming exploitable, or if there was a way introduced it would severely lower the rewards from the TF as means some would be able to obtain a completed flag easily.
Other than that a damn fine suggestion that would maybe allow for more use for the CoP without limiting it to SGs. Or be way to introduce some amazing content on a truly epic scale.
On the discussion of Villian types I think the only two mobs that are available throughout the entire level range are Arachnos and Council. Now I know STF is Arachnos based, but then the council have the Hess TF and Citadel. I think to make it truly epic I would like to see the battling factions be Midnighters and Menders and with them battling for the whole of existence in a war waged throughout time. Hostages can be notable figures of History (In-Game and Real), and real events could be mentioned that were unable to be stopped. Quite an in depth story could come from this and if I get my creative hat back from my mate I may have a bash at knocking something up. The roles of the two teams could be to aid each faction or sabotage each factions attempt pushing them to a stalemate and forcing them to the end battle where the teams all converge and fight for time (Have definitely sold this too myself now)
I like this idea sounds fun and a bit different from the standard 8 man team affair

Well, too much time travel to my taste, but yes, that kind of Awesomely Epic. Bonus points for threat being so Awesomely Epic, that we get allied Rikti. 
And, BTW, it should be cooperative... Heroes and villains work together against Rikti, so anything even more threatening than them almost has to be co-op too. (and it's even logical since Midnighters are involved.)

Whilst true for heroes, on villains Longbow and PPD are seen throughout the entire 1-50 as well. Just thought I'd point it out,
Theres also circle of thorns im sure they run from 1-50
I like the idea...although it's got me thinking

The wisdom of Shadowe: Ghostraptor: The Shadowe is wise ...; FFM: Shadowe is no longer wise.
; Techbot_Alpha: Also, what Shadowe said. It seems he is still somewhat wise 
; Bull Throttle: Shadowe was unwise in this instance...; Rock_Powerfist: in this instance Shadowe is wise.; Techbot_Alpha: Shadowe is very wise *nods*; Zortel: *Quotable line about Shadowe being wise goes here.*
I like this idea very much.
Gawd knows how you'd code it but assuming you had carte blanche what about you start it like any other TF, ie a team goes to a contact clicks and begins 4 missions, as outlined above, grand scale lots of flitting about and a largish battle at the end provided it stays as one team.
Another team comes along and is given the option to join the TF, they join and the scale ups in the final battle.
The new team is given the second mission in the arc to complete, and if team 1 finishes their mission before team 2 they can go help out, they dont get the mission bonus at the end, but they get the mob rewards. Both teams can then move to mission 3 and then the big battle.
If the 1st team has already moved on to the 2nd mission when the new team joins: the new team will get the unstarted mission.
A 3rd team come along and is given the option to join. If the other teams haven't moved on to the 3rd mission the new team gets that. If they've started the 3rd mission the new team will join in. This is when the final battle becomes EPIC.
The only problem I see is that the 1st team will feel like they've done all teh work if both new teams join in on the 3rd mission, but seeing as I've stollen the infamous "blank cheque" to dream up anything I fancy I'd hope for some sort of proportional reward system. Maybe for each mission you complete you go up a tier of final reward.
Ahh well I love the original idea, and this would be beautiful if implemented. Definitely /signed
I don't wanna save my soul now,
I just wanna lose control,
And even if it takes a lifetime, to learn:
I'll learn!

The first was some kind of exploit where a mob you faced gave almost a levels worth of exp in one kill, so people were farming themselves to 50 in about a day without DXP
[/ QUOTE ]
Worse than that, the trial gave you no xp but you got a huge reward at the end( makes sense, just like a massive mission completion bonus), instead of only getting awarded this once, if you kept clicking the end contact you kept getting the bonus => click to 50 pl0x
Cheers for the extensive list Shadowe.
I copied it to Word, removed groups that already feature as major players in Task Forces (okay, I kept the Thorns in and I know the Sky Raiders feature heavily in one of the Strike Forces) and have a list of groups that fit the 'Level 25+' parameter:
Banished Pantheon
Circle of Thorns
Devouring Earth
Ghost Ship...um, Ghosts
Nemesis
Nictus
Sky Raiders
Tsoo
Warriors
A couple of the groups have things in common - and we all know that everything is a Nemesis plot.
The reason behind me doing this is to see what sort of mobs could be feasibly encountered by a mixed range of teams.
Carnies might just scrape in because, Redside, they appear from level 30 onwards.
Looking at the list I'd have to say I'm stumped as to what the storyline(s) might involve.
Oh and I think I may be drumming up some ideas for I14 regarding the BP and the Warriors - they're so unloved 
Oh and Arachnos, Longbow and PPD also count. The Strategy guide naturally didn't feature them. Oh and Wyvern...um, little help here?
Also I've left out Malta, the Praetorians - although an Epic Praetorian battle featuring the 'new' Praetorian Arachnos (who don't have to be good just because the Freedom Phalanx are 'evil' in that universe) could be fun. I think it would give away a lot of later-game content for people who haven't gotten that far though, so I'm a little against the idea.
Not a huge fan of time travel - already got a fair bit of that what with Ourourobos, the Villain Patron Arcs, STF and even that nice arc for Heroes where Requiem sends you a letter.
Of course, Epic battles in Space are always fun... Perhaps the Heroes and Villains of Earth will discover another inhabited planet?
Oh and no Rikti please. For the love of all that is holy

Okay, ideas for a storyline.. Ideas... Hmm... Aha!
Sky Raiders attack Oranbega to steal magical relics from the Circle of Thorns, but the attack's been tipped off to the contact, so you have to go and arrest the Sky Raiders and ambushes from the Circle of Thorns.
Meanwhile, another team is sent to another, totally unrelated Warriors hideout, but upon arriving discover that they're under attack by a group of Tsoo, cue it becoming a defeat all where Tsoo and Warriors are fighting.
Whilst this happens, another team (going by three teams at once) are sent to clear out what is believed to be a new Devouring Earth den, but when you get there it's actually a raid from the Devouring Earth against the Banished Pantheon, meaning you go around rescuing allied BP Shamans.
At the end of each mission everyone will get a clue revealing that one of the villains who were in charge of the attacks were infact Nemesis robots.
Second and third missions would involve each team then taking on a defeat all of the attackers from each mission (Sky Raiders, Warriors and Devouring Earth) where the third would have an EB at the end then an ambush from a Fake Nemesis and troops.
The Fake Nemesis' would then tell you the cunning plan, as if they've already won, leading to the final mission. You're sent to an outdoor instance of the Atlas Plaza from the contact about supposed Nemesis troop sightings. Once there and under the Atlas Statue there will be a cutscene of a very large Nemesis AV infront of the City Hall's doors, saying something along the lines of "Hah, foolish heroes, you fell into my trap! I had to get Paragon's finest in one place just so I could do this!" cue an explosion inside the zone causing 1k untyped damage to all Heroes on the map.
After the cutscene an ambush of heavily armoured, armed to the teeth EB Sky Skiffs will fly down from the sky and attack, followed by a very large group of Captain bosses teleporting in.
After 5 minutes of the Sky Raiders being there, an ambush of Devouring Earth will erupt from the small pieces of grassland around the plaza, think a horde of Razorvines springing up then running to the statue. Shortly after they have spawned, groups of EB level Granites will pull themselves from the ground and a huge swarm of Swarms will fall from the skies.
10 minutes after they have spawned, a huge group of Warriors of all types, lead by an AV of Heracles. Just think an army/wall of Warriors charging towards the Plaza with their weapons drawn.
All the while the Nemesis AV will have an untouchable PFF on. Once all of the enemies have been defeated, another cutscene will occur, showing Nemesis running down the steps then drawing what looks like a cross between a bazooka and a Nemesis staff, then saying something like "You think you have won!? Think again!". Now you have to fight him.
His melee attacks would be Foot Stomp and Kick and as for ranged attacks, Disintegration Beam, which would do say 600 untyped damage in a very long ranged cone and Obliteration Beam, which would do 1k+ ST damage and very high mag knockback (enough to get through most toggles + buffs). At 50% and 25% health, would turn on the PFF and at 10% would call in an ambush of Fake Nemesis'.
Yeah, long idea, but I was bored and it seemed like a good idea at the time
I am the Blaster, I have filled the role of Tank, Controller and Defender
Sometimes all at once.
Union EU player! Pip pip, tally ho, top hats and tea etc etc
We'll theres no love lost betwean the circle and the BP so could have a mossion with them fighting over somthing
Also a good few of those groups are magic users so some kind of magic based arc could work perhaps
Something along the lines of the Banished and the circle both attempting to summon something the initial missions could involve warriors,sky raiders and tsoo who have all been employed by either of the two groups (the raiders could be there under the employment of Nemesis)
Finale mission would involve the interrupting of the ceremony being conducted by either circle or banished (if it could be randomised that would be pretty cool) but instead of there desired demonic master they end up summoning a swarm of Devoured
OK not the greatest idea and more research into the histories of the groups would probably be advised
Following on from the fun and games on Defiant where a group of about 20 or 30 heroes did a massive trick or treat run I've had an idea for some new content. Well... epic content I think.
Only thought about Hero side - but I'm sure the idea can be adapted for Villains.
A joint Task Force
1) Up to 3 Teams form up (possibly all from the same SG) up to max of 8 members
2) The teams then agree to form a task force from a new contact
3) Each of the teams is sent of on their own mission arc (max 3/4 missions) in a connected story arc - ending with a defeat AV
4) once each arc is completed the three teams are then given the same mission where they have to fight together
The final battle should be a clear all against a massive army of mobs of all types (mins, lts, bosses, and Ebs), coming in massive waves, the aim being a battle that taxes not just the fighting ability (and survivability) of a toon, but also their endurance in battle, and team working across teams/SGs.
Covering notes:
Level range:
The TF should be open to all toons over lvl 25 (think of it as a half way reward). All the villains should use the GM / invasion code so the mobs con at a level in range of what ever toon your playing - so you earn XP / Inf etc at the right lvl. This will also remove the need to have SKs and Exps, allowing team to be built up of all kinds of levels.
Story:
Haven't really thought over the story, but I would guess that it would need to be an epic story, bigger then just a single toon, or a single supergroup. Bigger then the ITF or the STF. Perhaps facing off against a new mob group, or one of the minor groups how have become tired of being small and want a piece of the bigger action.
Or maybe the return of everyone fav villain - FrostFire.
Missions:
I've said "upto 3" teams need to form the TF, but it could be completed with less the three teams. The missions given to each team would scale depending on the number of teams doing the TF, i.e. if only two teams, only two arcs would be given out - one for each team.
The arc themselves should be randomly assigned, so that the first team doesn't always get the first arc etc. This is to keep the content fresh for players, because in theory they could do the TF three times and have a different arc each time.
Reward:
The reward should be equally epic compared to the scale of the TF. I'm thinking:
a) Badge
b) Cozzie & extra cozzie slot
c) Temp power - or event permanent power along the lines of the Vets
d) Respec
e) brand new contact - not available anywhere else with a new arc
Well - thoughts - comments?
