Tanker Tuesday : 5yrs and going strong

five years...
sixty months...
thousands of tankers...
billions of bad guy sent to the zig...

And it just keeps on truckin'!


Im not planning on this being a big red name event or anything but here is what I've been tossing about for plans:

Tanker Takeover of the War Zone!
7pm CDT/8pm EDT (1 hr before the normal TT start)
We've done it before, and it was great fun. Now you can bring any tanker into the zone, but be prepared for some brutality against those L54 spawns. We will be leaving for Pylon 17 at 6pm/7pm sharp.

Tanker Tuesday TF Smackdown!
8pm CDT/9pm EDT
Got a new tanker, need some merits and some starting cash. Lets fix that!
All tankers under 35 willing to do an all tanker TF (any TF) qualify for a cash infusion! Levels 10-15 get 5Mil, 15-30 get 10M and 30-34 get 15M. Of cource tankers above 35 are invited to the TFs as well, but yall have enough money already. And yes Ill be tracking globals, dont get greedy.

Zombie Apocalpyse!
(no later than 10pm CDT/11pm EDT but immediately after wrapping up TF Smackdown!)
Got a tanker... need another costume slot? I've got a dozen or so sets of costume salvage sitting around. Get a set and redeem it and hope for a zombie spawn. All at once! Lets kick off the Halloween season with a groan heard all over Paragon City.

Sounds like some fun is planned out. I have 2 tanks that I want to run with so I will have to figure out who needs the mothership raid more.

Is this going to be this coming Tuesday, Net?

It sounds like a lot of fun. I will probably show up for at least some of it, since I now have a Tank on Champion, yey (which I made for Tanker Tuesdays, cause I was tired of being left out all the time).


Champion: Feride Edain, Level 50 Vigilante Blaster; Quicksilver Cure, Level 33 Controller; Silent Gemini, Level 44 Tanker; Aisa Moirai, Level 19 Villain Dominator
Virtue: Aurora's Blaze, Level 50 Peacebringer; Atrytone, Level 50 Tanker

Not this Tuesday, but 2 Tuesdays. Oct 6th.

Sounds great, Net! Jeez, 5yrs just flew by didn't it?

Pang will be there for the MS raid. Then I'll switch to Magrok for the other two events.

This will be a tanktastic evening that should not be missed!

Ace, check and see if we can get one of the Devs to join us. Nothing special, all they have to do is come and play with us as a Tanker on the 5th year anniversary.

One more mini event that I might try to cram in there.
Net's Miracle Lottery
Entry Fee: Gotta be a tank.
Prize: 1 Miracle + Recovery L40 (maybe L20 we shall see)
How to Play and win:
I will generate a random number using a guassian white noise simulator to seed the RNG. It will produce a 100digit number with the values [1..6] only. 0, 7, 8, and 9 will not appear.
All participants will /em dice. Those who match the first number will go to the next round. All remainining /em dice again. Those who match continue. If no one matches, all re-roll. Once all but one have been eliminated, the winner is declared and awarded the Miracle +Recovery IO.
Should take maybe 5 mins or so.

Make it a level 20 Miracle so that they can play with it at 17.

Give me the lowest 30 you have and I'll give you a 20. I have one laying around waiting for a new character concept. I can always do an IO swap like I do with Stealth/KB Protection IOs and you won't have to spend hours on TFs. Or hell, its the 5-year anniversay. I can spare it, no problem.

Yes, thats the whole point, Cherry.

Now, we don't have to worry about teaming like levels anymore with SSK, so the sign holding is likely to fade, aside from a sense of nostalgia.

The sign holding would still help since like-level teams would be preferred over crazy lowbie+lvl 50 teams, and to determine if we'd have enough for a TF, or something....

I'll should be there for all the events, Net. I can even pitch in some cash if needed. Thanks for putting this together.

I'm a little confused about the start time though since a 7pm EDT start would be 2 hours before normal TTTime, which would be 4 pm pacific.(maybe too early for west coasters)

I'm okay starting the TFs an hour early, but just sayin'...unless you're just saying the normal portion of this TT starts at 8 pm EDT.

Anyways, is anybody up for an all-tanker shard run on Sunday Oct. 4th starting around 11 am- noon EDT?

What's the matter, Pep? Don't want to go from 1-20 in a couple of missions? It might seem like the best way to make a Stone or Elec...

Good to see your name again, Kay. Welcome back and I really hope you get your problems worked out with the game.

Cheers.

Yeah.. its 2hrs early, my bad. Supposed to be 1hr =P This is why I put things out for comments before making the poster.
It will be 7pmC/8pmE start on the mothership.
The Lottery will be at 8pmC/9pmE on the wall.
TF "Stimulas Program" right afters.
Zombie Invasion at 10pmC/11pmE.

Simple change to the poster. Ill make the official post w/poster in here, Tanker, and Player Events forums tomorrow night.

One slight modification to the Lottery: Level 10 Tanker min. L20 Miracles are valuable, Id like to see it go to someone that actually took the 15mins to roll and level a tanker instead of a level 1 hoping to get lucky. The stimulas package still requires level 10 as well (min to get in on a TF). I did solo-Posi this weekend with my fire tanker (no purples). Took about 2 hours. Would have been faster with more offense. Smaller stimulas packages will be available for tankers between 5-9.

I'll try to make it. Although I'm a little lost on the event start time. Just to make sure I got the right time. The mother ship raid will begin at 8pm ET so, 5pm PT, correct?
