If you're asking me somewhere in there what the appeal is for me it's about getting the most for my money. There's also a challenge in speed running new TFs and SFs. Over the past month or so we started speed running the STF. Our current best is 42 minutes. It's also cool trying new lineups and new strats for beating old times.
It's fun and most certainly is part of the game.
I guess, but I hope it doesn't lower the merits for those that dislike speed runs.
Uh oh. I think we've found a new scapegoat since farmers aren't so ebil anymore. Speed TFers are eeeeeeeebil!
By the way, 29 mins for the ITF is the fastest team I've been on, and 27 mins for the LGTF.
Been on a 33 minute ITF.
The fastest LRSF I've ever been on was 33 minutes as well. (Which was actually last night.)

ITF, 55 minutes, on Invincible, killing nearly everything in sight. Some of the best fun I've had in the game.

Hmm I think ours was.. 29-30 minutes. ITF. Speed run, skipped as much as we could.

They all laughed at me when I said I wanted to be a comedian.
But I showed them, and nobody's laughing at me now!

I dont tend to try and join fast taskforces 
I like to join them and help out but occasionally give "reporter live feedback" as it was 
We are here live in cimerora where a band of heroes are storming the caves! We are not yet inside the caves but you can feel the powers that are fighting inside! We will try and get a look inside now . . . . . . i can see something, something purple just . . . floating . . . . As a field reporter it is my duty to get closer to this curious object and see just what it is . . . .

@Damz Find me on the global channel Union Chat. One of the best "chat channels" ingame!
QR,
I just added my own tag. I bet you can't tell what one it is.
Anyway the intent here isn't to boast, it's something that our team was very proud of. We were at 22 minutes for a long time, then after trying a new strategy we did it in 20 minutes and some seconds then after trying with a new lineup and another new strategy we finally got sub 20. It wouldn't surprise me if someone else got this down below 18 minutes. I guess we could if we used nukes.
And actually I was the only death on the sub 20 run in the crystal mission.
It's under the For Fun! section for a reason. It's fun.
I've also run a +3 killall ITF (when +3 was working) in about an hour with 7 shields and 1 kin. Aside from the lag it was a lot of fun.
But this thread I started is about speed ITF times and not about people's hate for speed runs. Someone else can start a thead called "speed runners vs the world".

Fitz
No Damz it wasn't.
EDIT: Who said I eat dogs! That's not right. I eat gerbils.
I think like 47-48 minutes - I don't go on speed runs usually

The fastest one I've been on was 25:53.
My fastest is 1:03. Though I've never actually tried to speed run it, either.
That was the team just going in, and killing things.

no offence but why would anyone care who ran the fastest.
you gained nothing from it.
me tho it was 28 mins no speed run. we just couldnt be ***** to travel so we tp'd everywhere xd
About four hours, I think. My longest was two days. Suck it!
There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.

What do you want us to run at? +2? +3? +4?
Tell me what you want and I'll be sure to give it to you pookie.
Silly me for even starting this thread. I should've known better.

Yes
Also, wth is a pookie? Is that a Star Wars reference?
About 28-29 minutes.

Go you!
It'd be nice to have the + difficulties working again. Like I said above I had a lot of fun running +3 with 7 shields and a kin and wouldn't mind the challenge a +3 speed run might bring. I wouldn't expect it to take us more than 5 minutes.
33 minutes but we know someone who did it in 17 minutes
24 something. Although I prefer to do them at max difficulty. I got to enjoy a +4 ITF before the ability was taken away. I look forward to doing +4 ITFs, LGTFs, and LRSFs in the near future. I like to speedrun, but I also like it to be challenging. Speedrunning on +0 is boring. Speedrunning on +2 was fun. Now I want to speedrun on +4.

That's why I keep after Synapse to make Merits a rare defeat drop and to lower the final TF Merit reward to compensate. If people take their time to kill along the way, they aren't penalized for not speeding through it.

And to tie merit rewards to difficulty, so we stop getting annoyingly low merit rewards from people who zip through on +0, when some of us enjoy doing +2 (or in the future, +4), but don't enjoy getting crappy merit returns as a result.
