Spend the first bright, sunny holiday weekend of the year in the cold, damp caves of the Shadow Shard! Anyhow, the Malachite Complex SG is running the Dr. Quaterfield Task Force on the 29th of May at 12pm (noon) eastern, but apparently, only 3 of us are available (or nuts; we haven't figured that out yet). That's where you come in; those 5 spots are going to the field. So without further ado:

Crazy Eddie's Discount Task Forces, Trials, & Electronics presents

A Malachite Complex Production

Current Team Roster

Task Force Stats, Info, & Miscellaneous Notes:

  • This task force requires 8 to start.
  • We will be meeting in Firebase Zulu at 11:30am EDT. If you're not there (or have at least sent me a tell saying you're en route) by 12pm EDT, we'll dip into the reserves (in order of signup). On the off chance that we get enough signups for two teams, we'll divide up according to team needs.
  • Make sure you have at least ten (10) hours set aside on that date before signing up. 10 hours is my standard disclaimer for Dr Q; it never actually takes that long, but my legal department requires me to put in that disclaimer (read: I like assurances that all 8 players are going to be there for the duration).
  • 24 missions total (5 hunts). I'll also point out here that there's nothing terribly difficult about this TF, it's just long.
  • Badges: Portal Smasher, plus progress towards Visionary, Unveiler, and a very generous portion (if not getting them outright) of the Infiltrator/7th Generation Paragon Protector & Crey Power Tank badges.
  • Merits awarded: 122
  • Special award for any weapon/shield users (except Assault Rifle & Dual Pistols): both Portal Smasher and Visionary award your corresponding Rularuu weapon. They're really cool.
  • Every 2 hours, we will be taking a 10 minute break. The breaks help alleviate stress and makes for a more refreshing experience. Trust me, you'll be thanking me for this one.
  • THIS IS NOT A SPEED RUN!!! If you think we're going to blaze through this in a couple unfun hours so you can get your merits and be on your merry way, we don't want you. That being said, while the Malachite Complex does enjoy a casual and laid-back approach, we won't be dilly-dallying either.
  • One final note that I believe should be mentioned: we've done Dr. Q numerous times. Heck, over New Years last year, we did the 4 Shard TFs back to back to back to back. So while we're a bit on the crazy side, we also know what we're doing.

So if you've got nothing better to do on Saturday, or perhaps you are a tad crazy, come on out to the Shadow Shard! General Hammond is having a barbecue afterward. If you have any questions or comments, please reply. If I forgot anything or made any errors, I'll edit this post. We look forward to running these with you.

Keep flying,
-Eddie

Good luck on your run. Wish I would be able to join in.

I will wait on the late night Shard runs with Cherry and Fang during Shardtober.

Awesome. I'll bring a Fire/Fire tank, Buttercup Pixie, if I can get him to 40 in time. Otherwise it will be Artorios Rex, a BS/Regen scrapper.

Ha ha Trevor and the sad thing is it could have been done 30 minutes faster if the team I had originally planned had shown up... but yes Good luck you all it's a great TF was my first time to run it/attempt it very cool story and interesting twist on the game.... However I cannot honestly say I enjoyed all the travel required

The first post has been updated to reflect additions to the roster. I can neither confirm nor deny that it's also a flimsy excuse for a bump.
