Strike Force Stats & Info:
  • This Strike Force requires a 4-person team to start & I will set it to No Temp Powers (which includes Veteran Reward Powers) & 0 Defeats
  • 9 missions (4 talks)
  • Badge(s): Arbiter & Master of the Reichman Strike Force
  • Merit Reward: 30
  • Please note, this SF ends after the final Recluse Talk (not after the Reichsman mission)
Mr E-Man’s MoRSF Mission Notes:
  • Stick together, listen to instructions & do not be afraid to offer your opinion on strategy!
  • Mission One: Clear the ambushes before heading back to take on Ms Liberty.
  • Mission Two: Would a stealth/TPer works with leading the hostage? We should pull Numina out of the room to be a little more cautious.
  • Mission Three: Talk
  • Mission Four: Ouro out or mark the exit on your map to exit after Reichsman spawns. The mission will time-out without anyone inside.
  • Mission Five: Stick together & clear until the key drops - doing so around the dig area is best since the door is there. A stealth/TPer would be useful here as well to get to the boss room.
  • Mission Six: Talk
  • Mission Seven: Talk
  • Mission Eight - Part One: While this mission is not so much hard, there are a lot of chances for deaths to occur. First clear out all of the 5th Column & take care of any ambushes that occur when one of the AVs is rescued. Sac the AV, find the next AV, take out the ambush, etc.
  • Mission Eight - Part Two: Grab your temp powers & don't be afraid to use them - you can recharge them (all except the Fail Safe Guns which only Stalkers can use). Stalkers gain Max Stealth to enter the two gun rooms to nuke the ambushes, Corruptors/Dominators have attack/holds for the ambushes, Brutes/Veats gains a team End Drain resistance power, MMs can keep Reichsman from phasing.
  • Mission Eight - Part Three: With or without a Stalker we will probably exit via the Ouro portals & clear the ambushes from the start of the mission. We may need to Ouro out a 2nd time, but we will play this by ear.
  • Mission Nine: Talk (Remember the SF completes after this talk, not after Reichsman is defeated)
  • Everything is a “work in progress”

I'll be there with one of my corrs... probably BufferOverflow (elec/kin), possibly Toxsyn (fire/rad). If one or the other would be more helpful to the team, let me know.

Only because I want to do the villain one too, I'll dust off my horrible Stalker for this. Please sign up Lady Statique, lvl 50 DB/Elec Stalker.

Ill join, once again i will be bringing stonefyre




I can please only one person per day. Today is not your day. Tomorrow isn't looking good, either.

Sign me up as TBA; I may bring my Widow out of semi-retirement or my Rad/Kin Corr out of actual retirement for this, depending on what we need.

I'm thinking that we should cap this at one team since I set this SF up so late...I doubt we will have enough response to field a second team.

Prometheus: ... so what I told you was true, from a certain point of view.
Me: From a certain point of view?
Prometheus: You're going to find that many of the truths we cling to depend greatly on your point of view.
Me: You're right about that. Power Blast is very pretty from a certain point of view. But that point of view is not head-on. <Kaboom> - Arcanaville.

Just a heads up: there was a patch today, so try to run the updater early to avoid delays tonight...

...and, this bit of info regarding TFs/SFs...

Tasks

  • Fixed a bug where Task / Strike Forces with a Level range that includes Level 50 (in the TF/SF range) spawn at one level below the team’s level.
Not that I am complaining, the -1 was a bit annoying to me, but I do know that it made the ambushes in the final mission of this SF a little more easily handled.

Another head's up, they're rolling back the patch (it's causing massive zone mapserving) here in a few minutes and the game will be down for at least 2 hours. Those of you that have already patched today will need to re-patch....dunno about those that haven't yet.


 

Posted

I should be available to fill in as an alternate as well. @Fuzzball or @Fuzzball2

Hey guys, I'm going to have to bow out for tonight. We had a major issue at the end of the day today at work with one of our most important business relationships and tomorrow it's my job to get everything fixed, so I can't afford to have a late night tonight. Have fun and good luck on the master badge.

Well, I am repatching...after I patched at lunch today...

Hopefully I will only be a couple of minutes late.

uhh - I am having some issues...

My update of the repatch failed & now I am in the midst of patching 350mb of pigg files...which it says will take about 30 mins...

It is not looking good for me, I suggest you get going without me.

I hope someone is checking the boards...

----------------------------

Edit, forgot to say that I tried bypassing the updater & I was getting the wrong version error...

Well, attempt #1 failed when I followed a Brute into a mob in Numina's room (after she was defeated) and I caught a bunch of AoE damage. Stunned, lit afire, filled with holes, and burned to death.

After clearing the room, we restarted with a couple of people switching toons (myself included). We lost 2 people with the restart, so we picked up Scruffy and MB and pushed forward. There were a couple of close calls on the way to the end, but no deaths until GW decided to target our Stalker instead of the Brutes. Attempt #2 failed, but we continued to the end with 3 deaths in total (R-man caught someone in his AoE twice, I think).

Anyway, good show gang. Sorry I f'd up the first run.

My apologies guys for not showing up I wasn't feeling to hot, so I went and laid down and over slept. I hope you guys were successful in your "Masters" run!

Nah, we had 3 deaths by night's end, at 1:45 for total mish time. All 3 deaths were in the last mish as Paragon pointed out, with the first death on our stalker due to aggro from GW. We were running pretty tired by that point too, so fatigue had something to do with it overall.

Looking forward to the next run. I want this **** badge dammit. Now it's ******* PERSONAL.


 

Posted

lol 1:45? I'm glad I bowed out during the switch... I don't think I could have made it all the way until 1:00 am for that. In a sick way, I'm kinda glad for the failure... means there will be another go round for it! heh I hope you guys had a blast though!

And this after a 35+ minute delay after the patch reversion broke some pigg files for me...

I also crashed a couple of times during our runs...not a very stable night for me (although when playing, whenever I checked my netgraph was very smooth with no lag spikes)...

The Team (for round two):

Cold Satisfaction: Ice/Dark Corruptor
Supreme Soviet: Bots/Traps Mastermind
Inducto: Elec/Regen Stalker
Deus Ex Stone: ???/Stone Brute
Infinite Agony: Mind/Psi Dominator
Kin Rothko: Rad/Kin Corruptor
Mr Matchstix: SS/Fire Brute
Robin Rogue: Dark/Kin Corruptor


Master of the Barracuda SF: Failed Attempt - Stat Box

I was out of melee when Inducto got held by GW - I moved in to try to catch him with my Twilight Grasp heal, but did not get close enough in time...

Just a little bad luck, but a good run none-the-less.

Thanks for joining everyone!

Sorry you guys didn't get that badge. I woke up it was 2:43 a.m. here and it had just dawned on me that i had to show up to see if you guys needed a sub. Looks like you guys filled out well...Gj!
