A mission that is nearly impossible for a large team but easy for 1-2 person teams is the Lady Jane mission in the Midnighter's arc. Hooboy - done it once out of a lot of tries but don't want to try again.

Isn't there a Tina mish that is on a 9 min timer? I've never actually tried to make that one happen.
Triumph Lurker: mintmiki 50 emp/archer
basically, if you see a miki on Triumph, it's probably cute and it's probably me.
Huge thanks to cuppamanga and all the folks in the mac help forum for prolonging my borrowed time on this game.
IMO, any hunt mission of more than 20 is an intentional, pointless waste of a player's time.

Yeah - but you can do it in like 5 if you have Super Speed |

For that RWZ mission where you have to rescue General Aarons, one trick is to lead him to a safe place (like the mission door), and then ditch him via stealth or super speed. It is also possible that once he is a combatant (aka been rescued), someone with Recall Friend or the Summon Teammate temp power can stand at the door and port him, then ditch him.

Any hunt mission in the shard beyond FBZ.... pure horror!

1. Find building.
2. Go up.
3. When there's no longer building parts next to you, stop.

Just sayin'. Future reference and all that.

Thats the conventional wisdom on CoT of course. But was not true when I was there recently. vast majroity of roof tops were banished.

This is horrible. I triad to do Numina (I think) TF and got assigned this hunt. By the end I hated the 5th again. Worst Kill Stealers I have ever dealt with!

The Hunt Council missions need to be adjusted so they can be either Council or 5th Column. Either that, or give us back a bunch of guaranteed Council spawn points.

I like those -- they're an excuse to go platform-hopping around the Shard.

I totally agree! Bringing back the 5th Column is kind of a bitter-sweet experience. |

It's pretty easy if whoever goes to Boomtown has ranged aoe, because so long as you've done any damage to the Council, it doesn't matter who actually kills them. Without ranged aoe, it's an absolute swine.

Death is part of my attack chain.

Aware that it was coming, I've actually succeeded at it the last two times I got it from the contact, once on a Dark/Psi Defender and once on a DB/Regen Scrapper. Amusingly, the Scrapper was set to +2/x6, and I wasn't planning enough in advance to have lowered my spawn sizes. That really made it interesting. (I did it on the Defender before the new difficulty settings, though it was on Invincible.)|

It's true. This game is NOT rocket surgery. - BillZBubba

I've done that one once, and actually pulled it off despite having no idea it was coming. Mostly due to being on my Ill/Rad, who could stealth easily, and alternate Phantom Army and Spectral Terror to distract or fear any spawns around the glowies.

Arc #40529 : The Furies of the Earth
What....simpleton thought of making them non rescuable? Pets you have to keep alive are the devil in pixel form, I tell you. Not to mention one of them is an old man with a pistol who will run up and punch Warhulks in the face! Not to mention Nemesis ambushes are large if anything but solo, and deal an ungoldy ammount of accurate AoE attacks.
I hate this mission. I hate it with a passion.
