So i have an issue with TF's apparently....the thing is that i realy wanna get them all done but it seem's virtualy impossible to get a team going for the TF's past lvl 35 on sertain server's because there is simply no player's there...Why cant the the amount of player's needed to launch a TF be lowered ?
Put them all at 2 player's and make it so we dont have to fight AV's if we dont want to...sure lower the reward if you must but please...lower the player's needed to start to atleast 2...the lack of player's is a real issue it seem's and i dont like that i cant experiance all the aspect's of this in my meaning wonderfull game.
Me and my wife allways play together we solo some but most of the time we play as a duo....we like it this way so we are ok with the lack of player's for the most time but when we want to do a TF's we are kinda screwed, and no we do not wanna move to another server...we have way to many char's on the server we do play on and we have an base that we dont want to give up....is this to much to ask for....please...please lower the player's needed for TF's and SF's.

Most servers have global channels for forming TFs, monster hunts, and so forth. Have you tried joining those?

Yes....well...i did a few day's ago...during the weekend there was zero activity...none what so ever....it's just bother's me that we cant see all the aspects of this game due to lack of player's so...i realy think the reqierment's should be lowered.

This.

On low population Protector, I saw 3 Positron TFs, a TV respec, and a Citadel TF (which I joined) run in just the few hours I was on yesterday.

I didn't read the whole thread, but I agree that the devs should change "Task/Strike =Force=" to "Army of One".

Then you picked a bad channel. Seriously. I'm on Infinity, which is a relatively high population server, but I'll often see 2 or 3 of the SAME TASK FORCE on a particular day. Any TF channel with zero activity over a weekend should be dropped. Have you tried posting in your server section and asking for global channel recommendations?

P.S. I'm not addressing your suggestion to lower the requirements because:
1) The devs have said they do not intend to do so.
2) I personally think they should stay the way they are.

Which Server?

On low population servers, joining such a channel is a MUST. Today on my server, with only 76 people online we ran two sister psy's tf for example. At the same time as well. I know that as soon as I logon that someone will start another tf pretty soon.

So check out those channels and find out which one is the happening place.

On Union that is Sals Badgehunters, on Defiant, Defiant Events.

i'm going to guess he is on Infinity from reading through some of his past posts.

76 people on the server?


Having Vengeance and Fallout slotted for recharge means never having to say you're sorry.

He did say "today" and posted at 11:26am local time, so I guess it was an early morning run. About right for Union around that time. And that's the EU server with the highest population mind.

I guess that's not too horrible for a weekday morning. I was thinking he meant more prime time.

I really dont think you Americans have the right to complain about the low population on your servers, at least you get to play on freedom (or whatever the high population us server was) if you choose to do so, and even transfer your heroes there!

Us europeans on the other hand are stuck with 4 vastly underpopulated servers, 2 of which are even less populated non english speaking servers.
I have been looking on a daily base since issue 15 for a team to reichman tf on defiant and even posted on the boards about it; not a single reply.

None at all.

Nah, Prime Time is currently about 250 heroes side, 100 villains.

Dunno about Defiant as I've been alting with my Union Villains all the time

The devs have stated that the minimum TF/SF requirement prevents people from taking on a challenge that would be too big for one or two players, yet with I16 we now have the option to set any mission at +4/x8 which, for most characters, would be far more difficult than anything in a TF other than an AV, and there's no warnings about doing so.

I'd love to see all of the TFs/SFs handled the same way as the Oros - no minimal team size and an option for solo players to fight EBs instead of AVs.

Not because I can't run them otherwise - despite being in no global channels on any server I've run a fair number of the TFs just through being invited to PuGs. Simply because I don't like the way many TFs are run - too quick, too easy and the story is usually IMPOSSIBLE to follow if you don't have the star.

As a technical/gameplay challenge TFs/SFs are enjoyable. As stories they absolutely suck, because 9 times out of 10 it's only when the TF is over and I have time to read up on it in the wiki that I find out "Oh, so that's why we were doing that..."

It probably won't happen any time soon, but this is the QoL improvement I crave most from this game.

You are mistaken! This is the internet. If I receive a magic flying pony that craps gold and has saddlebags full of cookies, I have the right to complain that it didn't bring any milk!

orly? In that case, I would suggest "Inf Badge Seeker" and "Infinity Hamidon" for TF's and "AE Anonymous" for general (non-AE) teaming.

Are you on the Defiant Events channel? That's the best place to go to if you want to get any kind of TF going and you don't have a SG to help. It's possible to get a TF team together pretty much any time of day, and if you can play during prime evening hours you shouldn't have too much trouble. If you don't want to organise it yourself, then just keep an eye on the chat tab and sooner or later someone will start a 5thTF team.

Things are a lot quieter redside, but even there Defiant Events is a good place to start looking for a SF team.
