Is there a problem with the Statesman's Task Force?

Greetings everyone,

Last night I tried to organize an STF but there were several people that advised me that the task forced was bugged. Something about the towers getting repaired in 2 sec.

Could someone point me to that thead or has anyone filed a ticket regarding this issue?

Thank you

The repairmen are bugged; they're now set to challenge level: "mighty damn efficient nuisances". It's not enough to render the task force as impossible but can be annoying at the end of a long day. Some team leads are relying on bubblers to keep them at bay.

"Challenging?"

Not just "challenge" but "do you have the right powers"?

The repairmen used to be "kill them quick before they heal the towers or rebuild them". But now, as they spawn, before they're really killable, they're healing. So they almost certainly will get a heal off. And if they're spawning as the tower is blowing up...they rebuild it immediately. VERY FRUSTRATING.

And no. Not good.

Goes beyond Frustrating to damn near fething retarded levels.

There's challenging.

There's difficult.

There's laughable.

There's 'LOL, you brought a what?'

The repairmen have currently reached that last stage. They're not just efficient. They're crack commando techies who will fix things even while dead.


Now! This is it! Now is the time to choose! Die and be free of pain or live and fight your sorrow! Now is the time to shape your stories! Your fate is in your hands!

We tried to hammer at them for a good 45 minutes, grabbing all sorts of temp powers to try to win, and we still failed the damn thing.

Yes, they are broken.
No, they are not unbeatable. They are just insanely difficult. You need to have someone with a damage aura and someone with an AoE catching them the second they spawn. Even this isn't enough by itself because of the bug. It took us a good 30-45 minutes to get 'em down.

Also, did a couple LRSFs recently. It's still a cakewalk as long as you pay attention.
