Its that time again Champion. Tanker Tuesday is here.

And with i17 live, I figure we can welcome in the new issue with some TaskForce love.

Time permitting, we will run both halves of Positron's TaskForce tonight for those that want to.

Looking ahead to Tanker Tuesday #69 next month, I have a nice war chest banked again, so there will be prizes next month. But I haven't settled on a theme yet, so toss out any ideas you might have so I can weave something together June.

Tank on.

I will be there. I am not sure which tank I will be there with as my main has already run the new Posi TF.


I would like to give my personal thanks and best wishes to the employees of Paragon Studios for giving me so many fond experiences. You guys were the best!

You have 24 hours, what, do you have a life, or something?

Hmmmm...my main tank on Champion has already done a Posi. Might be time to give a baby tank some love.

Ok thanks to some lub'n from Amy lastnight, Stuff Squirrel is in the new Posi lvl Range. I just need to make sure I get some DO in him before hand.

I'll be there.

[Crap, did I take Stamina at 20 or 22?]

um .. so the new posi is higher then 10-15 level ??


 

Posted

No, but you keep your powers up to 5 levels above the level you are exemplared to. So at level 15 you get powers through level 20.

This was the aftermath of the 8 man Posi. Sad that leader blamed the 10-20 team mates in the TankHQ channel and a lvl 19 Tank finished on his own with no more than 3 deaths as my Debt is gone as well.

Wow, sounds like you had a rough run, but way to stick it out! That's "Tank Tough".

I had fun running with the team I was on. The only regret I had was not being able to join them for the 2nd part of the TF. We finished the first one in and hour and a half. So, I'm sure the 2nd one would have been equally enjoyable. Thanks to all my teammates for a fun TT.

See ya' all next week at TTJ!

sounds like that was the group i was in.
nah, couldn't have been. leader wasn't complaining about anyones skill, and everyone died at least twice

didn't wanna leave, but after 8 deaths at the door and not even getting an attk in because each time i stepped in i was held and beaten too a pulp, it just became no fun. ( up till that point it was great fun ).
ok.. i know, i need more hold resistance.. but that was ridicules.

so.. next tanker tuesday is on a different server ?
and is there a tanker chat ?

Tanker Tuesday originated on Champion and is always the first Tuesday of every month (also referred to as TTC or "TT Classic"). A little over a year ago Pep Rally took TT "on tour". Since then we've run a TT regularly on Justice (TTJ) every 2nd Tuesday of the month. Recently there's been a request/action for a regular TT on Freedom. The first scheduled one was last month, so it's just getting started there. To keep things simple all TTs are held at the same time and place on all servers which is in King's Row, by the IP Gate at 6pm PT\9pm ET.

So, at the moment there are 3 Tanker Tuesdays each month.
1st Tuesday of the month is Champion
2nd Tuesday of the month is Justice
3rd Tuesday of the month is Freedom

"Tanker chat" can be found on TankHQ and Tankers channels, we also post upcoming TTs there and other Tank worthy events in the MoTD.

it was more the leader did it in the TankHQ channel.

Team could have done it. Last mission we just needed to work together.

Persitance or insanity was my push to finish.

Maybe I missed it, but I didn't see Hera diss us in the global.

The reason I bugged out is because, crap, how much can I die and pretend it's still fun. How many times did I go to AE and buy fifteen Luck [actually, that was only twice.]

Though I was the first to see the Shadow versions of us and I think I triggered that dialog to get them to show.

I desperately wanted to get my katana/wp. I'd just go in and then tell you guys when it was clear.

I wanna see your build, Sgt. You'z got some trick.

That was fun =P

I know we started with 3 good sized Posi Teams...

My squad of 7 finished in about 1:51 for the first half.

4 of us stayed to run the second half, 3 of us finished it at about 2:20.

Ruin Mages suck. 3-4 Ruin mages in a group really suck.

But I regained by badging throne with those 2 badges, leapfrogging Cinnamon again and standing tall at 772 (and 657 red side).

Thanks to every on that showed up, and especially those that ground it out.


Next month is Almost Sexy Tanker Tuesday #68.
July will be Sexy Tanker Tuesday #69.

Really the build is nothing 3 slots in all powers right now with DO.

I wasnt calling anyone out or I would have the quote and txt saved.. but also dont blame someone else for a team failure if you quit. To keep it that way plz edit our there name if you would plz.

I was on Warboss' team and we faceplanted multiple times at the door and in the lobby during the first half but we stuck it out through some bad lag for me and a run to AE for purps. Our dopplegangers didn't fair too well. They got a couple of teammates but we managed to take them out pretty easy.

I believe 5 of us hung around for part two and we completed both parts in a total of about 3 hours, which I didn't think was too bad. Some folks were a little worried about Doc V in the last mish but I had done it on a 3 person team while playing two of the toons myself so I knew we could get it.

Good teams for both runs. Nog taunted our way out of some bad situations and took some licks for those of us running lowbies. Everybody pulled their weight with no complaints. Heck, no one even complained about my dumb wise cracks...at least not in chat that I could read...

And the trick for taking out our shadowselves. Confuse =P

I still had my "Nectar" power from Val's Day. AoE Confuse, and it was super effective =)

Shame it was of limited use against the Ruin Mages.

I don't really think I was blaming anybody, but frankly I doubt that the current version is playable with any entertainment value on a full team. There were too many stacking Ruin Mages, too many stacking holds, too much forced AFK while you wait to die. I am even more certain that it couldn't be completed with a full team all of whose members are 10-15. It certainly seems like it needs some adjusting.

I regret anything I said that caused anyone any pain; that was not intended. But I was not having fun at all by that time. And it was my understanding that the TF disbanded by general consensus that it could not be completed and wasn't fun any more.

I wouldn't blame anybody but myself: rather than a team of eight we should have run two teams of four. Then again, that was my first time running the new version, and in future tries I'm not taking more than three or four. If there's a magic strategy for getting past the door, I don't know what it is.

LOL! Well for your breach of the secrecy vow, you'll now have to run the Posi's at all TTJs (I'm sure Rangle will be relieved to find out he no longer bears that albatross. I'll have to find a new TF to put him in charge of....). I did enjoy the new content and thought the doppelgangers/shadow versions of our Tanks was pretty cool and fun (man, my mirror was a wimp...), but having just run the old Posi, the night prior to the new one going live, I don't really see the time savings (or at least yet). I think my SG is still wanting to try the new, so I'll probably run it again this Friday, I'll try for both parts, and see what I think.

Anyway, fun times and thanks all for coming to TTC. Next week is TTJ!

See ya' all there!
