Small team Posi -Tonight - 930PM EST

Just a heads up I'm gonna try to con some folks into a Posi run tonight. Will be looking for 5 max, unless there is just some uncontrollable urge from 7 others. Will be looking at stealthing whatever possible to cut down the time.



(these posts are just to see if using the forum is still worth doing)

I've already forgotten about most of you

I should be able to join up. I was thinking of doing a double XP weekend run of all the TF commander TFs, this will eliminate the need for me to try and find a Posi team.

Dinging 50 on a Posi run? Intriguing.

Sign me up with my DB/Gimp Scrapper. I hope to be respecced and properly slotted by then.

As others will be glad to tell you, I thought the focus of WP was damage resistance.

I didn't have High Pain Threshold or RttC slotted for health. I certainly didn't have Tough or Weave. My resists capped at around 35%, and I couldn't take an alpha to save my life.

I have remedied most of these issues (took Tough but not Weave), and I specced out of Weapons Mastery into Body Mastery, picking up FA and Physical Perfection.

She should work much better now.

His build now, or before, doesn't really matter if he dings 50 while on a Posi run.....

The chances of him playing the character after 50 is pretty small, if past experience is any indication. I should know; I think I've had a fairly dominate hand in most of his guys as it is Not sure how I got roped into getting a fairly large chunk of his leveling with this cast-off Iso guy though.


For the TF, meet at contact. Don't make me hunt down your global.

It's true I usually drop toons after 50, but GR is supposed to change all that, right, Devs? RIGHT?!

Intriguing, when I try to build a small team, I like to run with just 3.

Someone else take this, please.

My Peacebringer still needs this so count me in. And hey, I can even pocket tank if need be.

Yeah, don't mind us, Psylenz, a bunch of us have "grumpy old codger" attitudes. I was taking a joking tone with Voo's post, too.

Victory server, where armor that is +5 to defense against sarcasm and angst is a must!

Crap... I took a nap and overslept.

Well, for those of us that aren't swayed by merits alone, I'm glad they're changing things up. Every time I play it, it stands out for how repetitive, boring, and unimaginative the arc is. It's the worst of the original TFs.

Sure, they might somehow make the two parts uninspired when they work on it, but when you're starting at the bottom of unfun-ness, it's not too hard to go up from there (and they have a fairly good track record for good content). The only thing going for it now is that it's worth a bunch of merits: I'd much rather the TF was improved and made more fun and dynamic than keep it the same for farming purposes (or whatever people want to call their repeat Posi runs... they're not doing it because it's fun, it's the merits).

...I was joking BTW.

Plus, it intrigues me that fixing it lowers blueside merit options.

Other than getting a random buzz from running it quickly, though, what is there to it? I don't think you're arguing that the content is good, just that it's your definition of "fun," which is hard to measure (not really debating that... what you find fun is okay, but I hope you know that most people find Posi to be an abysmal experience: and I certainly hope you don't think it's good content, heh).

Synapse is overly long as well, but it's not quite as long, and there is a good flavor to it from the Clockwork (sure, you may not like them, but it's a TF with much more character to it than Posi... Babbage, the last map, and the Clockwork King make sure of that). I can understand not liking it (I don't run it much either), but it's good for what it is, other than needing a bit more streamlining with the many repeat missions (though I think they have done that a bit).

Citadel could use some flavor, I agree. Beating up Nazis is fun, but Vandal is a bit meh as an AV. Same for Manti. In fact, I'd like all of the original TFs to have something more original to them, like the end of Synapse (and what it sounds like Posi is getting). Pretty much all of the new TFs have something that makes them unique (Striga ones are even decent, they're in Striga, and Hess has the huge volcano and robot). But of all of the originals, Posi had length, difficulty, reduction of powers, and blandness all going against it. It stands out as the worst of the Phalanx TFs, so it's good that they went for it first.
