A warning: Don't count on any "Mech" summoning power like the Longbow or the Vanguard version. They are currently broken and will not spawn in the mission (although on some instances, they show up after you exit a mission on the other part of the zone).

Oh, it IS autohit? Lame, I thought it just had an insane level of crack accuracy. :0

This sounds like insane amounts of fun. It'll require a lot of scrapping things out, but with the stalker changes I can definitely see this happening. Wish I had a stalker on victory so I could come along.

Well built and played Stalkers are amazing. I have no doubt this could be done with less deaths than the blaster version, however the Blaster pool is a lot larger than the Stalker pool and drawing 8 appropriate Stalkers for this attempt will be more difficult. This isn't meant to dissuade you, I want to hear how this went!

I can't imagine why we have a Mod keeping a close eye on our forum. Can't....figure....out....who....would.....cause.. ...that............

You've been good lately, but I still like to keep an eye on you. -Mod08

I do have a Stalker that wouldn't mind trying this with, however, he's only level 35. Not sure if that disqualifies him or not, since he wouldn't have as many slots and powers that would help out if he were in his 40s.

Ah, just saw the time mentioned. I could do 7 PM Central, but not 6 PM. Let me know if you want me, in though.

What!?!?! Mod 8 thinks this is a good idea? Sounds to me like he's off his medication again.

I'm going to bring Shivans, and if I remember to make the time, at least one Nuke. I hope others are bringing the same.

Too bad about the mechs. Those things are really friggin' cool. =/

Oh, and Mod 8, you should make a Stalker anyway and ask someone higher up real nicely to bump it up to 50 for you.

Of course it will be a lower death count; it's hard to die when you're placating, hidden, and scouting half way across the map.

Now, hitting build up, rushing in, infernoing, dying, and then rise of the phoenixing to finish off any survivors? THAT'S the blaster way.

The Dev's need to create enhancements to make AoE larger. Now THAT would be sweet.

Mine is EM/Nin
Unfortunately, I cannot make this, I won't be available. Which stinks, I was really looking forward to giving this a shot.

Well, I am intrigued by this notion, so I would like to throw my hat in for one of the spots. Lady Kenya (50 Claws/SR) is willing and able to try this out, if you will have her.

Range enhancers will do this for ranged cones. So something like Fire Breath gets a lot bigger with extra range. AoEs and melee cones, however, are out of luck.

Of course, as mentioned, the target cap is still in place.

I plan on coming to this with my EM/EA, that is assuming I am awake, don't forget and am not dead. All possible scenarios.


 

Posted

Sadly, I think I'm going to miss this. Might be for the best since I hadn't gotten to run one during the week and with this being my first time I probably would have been a liability.


 

Posted

well does anyone know a good /dark stalker? personaly i think those would be alot more usefull for this endeavour.


 

Posted

So far, the attendee list looks like this:

Shenku
perilX
kybarsfang
Magnarsh
talnar
Annabel Lee
maybe Grey Pilgrim (if we start an hour later)

Is there anyone that needs to be added to/removed from the list?

Also, good luck finding a high-level /Dark Stalker. It doesn't have enough shiny (dark?) tools to be a very attractive set.

I'm going to be running a Numina instead. I'd love to get some more xp my Stalker's way and try out the fun challenge of this, but I really think he's too low to give this a try: there are just so many power picks and slots yet to come for him. He's about 30% def to all, and by the time I get him further along, that will be much further... plus, he'll have a few bonuses from GW's patron powers, as well. I wouldn't want to be the weak link with this one... maybe I'll give it a try when I get higher?

Plus, I'm sure you'll want to start with the time you set up. I know I won't be on until 7 PM Central for sure... lots of grading and other things going on right now.

Ah, well. We have 6 right now at least.

I just got done getting all 3 nukes and a fresh set of Shivans, so I'm ready to roll.

Magnarsh and I were here just in time to see you guys start and leave for the first mission without so much as a tell. So much for forum sign ups :O

Magnarsh signed up for my Sister Psyche TF at 7 PM, so there IS something fishy going on here. Hmmmmm.

Well, not sure if anyone else formed up a team after us,(wasn't paying too close attention to chat after we started) but our team actually managed to finish in 2 hours and 8 minutes. And Rommy himself practically 'sploded in about 8 seconds when we finally went to fight him... Not bad for a bunch of squishy stealthing n00bs...

Only thought to grab two screenies...

There are 8 stalkers in this picture, can you spot them?

And of course, our culprits, with the obligatory dead stalker outside the door after we finished... >_>

The "gang".

Was tons of fun, definately gonna have to do this again on another SF!

I told them about you perilX, but you were busy chatting it up with some college girl outside the University, so your spot got filled. Not our fault you were way late.
