RE: Update on Trials and Missions in CoH/CoV

*points down to PVEers PVP guide 3.0 in sig*

You don't need any number of people to do the Shiva Strike (collect meteor shards, turn in) or Warburg (missile launch) missions. You can also destroy/capture the bunkers in Recluse's Victory solo and switch the zone over - if nobody's around - BUT you're not going to be able to solo the "reinforcements" (some of the freedom phalanx or Recluse and friends) that get sent in. It's been a wihle, not sure you'll get the temporal points for a 'heavy' before the zone shifts again without beating them.

Siren's call is built around zone control and bounty. Bounty = defeat other players, mostly. "Winning" hotspots (really, you just have to be there when the NPCs finish) nets you 100 bounty. Bounty's useful for... well, not much. SOs and inspirations, as I recall.

All of these are PVP zones. All have missions (that can be done solo) that will affect buffs/debuffs on either side. no TFs. (Edit: All but RV. RV has no in-zone missions, just the takeovers.)

See my Guides and Tutorials

What you are asking really doesn't apply. They aren't missions. You can do them while on teams, while solo, while on task forces or flashbacks. The Shiva Strike and Warburg rocket launch (which I'm doing right now on my empath defender) are basically solo events that can be done on a team. Only the person actually doing the requirements gets the reward. The others can either also be doing it, attempting to run interference against enemy players, or not even be in the zone. Time wise, solo, I can get a nuke in 15 minutes or a shivan in 5. But if there is PvP opposition, it can take longer, and the more people you have trying for the rewards, the longer it's going to take.

The Siren's Call battle really has no team rewards and simply put, never ends. Once one hot spot has been cleared, another appears.

The Recluse Victory event is the only thing that can really be a team event. You can have as few as one person working solo, or as many teams as you can shove into the zone. More people means the Pillboxes fall faster, but only one team can get badge credit for the takeover. And there's only three heavies available. The Heavy temp power reward, though will be awarded to anyone on the winning side who has gained 1,000 points.

I'm sorry I can't really give you the information you want, but it's because it really doesn't apply to what you plan.

Amount of people needed? As few as 1 (you) and as many as the zone can support.

Unless the wiki specifically states that you need X people to start (TFs, Trials, Raids), you generally don't need anyone else*... But if you find others that want to do it too, feel free to team up with them.

Also, a word of warning if you ever try Warburg; It's free for all. Outside the hero/villain base, people from the same faction as you can attack (unless you are teamed with them).


*It should, however, be noted that some archtypes/powersets have an easier time doing things on their own than others

Wha?!?!?!

I did not know this. I always assumed that once you started a TF (or flashback, which use TF rules), you were locked out of any other missions. Never knew that Shiva Strike, etc., weren't really missions.

Thanks. This is gonna come in handy since I solo and flashback a lot.

Yep, you can go get a shivan even if you're on a flashback. Additionally, even if the flashback you're on exemps you to a lower level, you will be at the zone level (25 in Bloody Bay, for example) once you enter the zone. So you won't be at a disadvantage while there.

Yeah, there are exceptions to a few things - like buying enhancements. Most contacts lock you out if you're on a TF, but you can still go to the arena, AE, or Pocket D bartenders and get them. (I'm thinking I'm forgetting one, and not the consignment house.)

39-41. A level 38 can not start the Eden trial.
(I think a lot of people confuse it with the Abandoned Sewer trial, which DOES start at level 38.)

Ouro? I think there's a store to sell inspirations there that you can use while on TF.

Yep, Mender (Sears and) Roebuck is just to the right of the pool as you face the building.
