Tanker Tuesday EU

Hello EU!

I have been thinking for a while about starting up a Tanker Tuesday on the EU servers and wanted to find out who would be interested in a regular event like this.

For those that don't know Tanker Tuesdays are an all Tanker AT event that happens on a Tuesday (different servers for different Tuesdays) where those that love tanking, want to give it a try can get together to run missions, TFs etc and get advice on builds, tactics and all things Tank related.

My initial thoughts have been:
* The event would be one Tuesday a month on Defiant and one Tuesday a month on Union.
* All level of tanks would be welcome.
* There would be a loose structure of what would be done (ie a TF) but this would be flexible depending on levels and if someone has something they particular want to do (e.g. mission arc).
* Allowing those who have less experience with Tanks get a oppurtunity to ask questions and learn through experience.

So my initial questions are:
* Is anyone actually interested in this?
* Would anyone want to help me organise this - maybe one or two people for each server (particularly Union where I am bit of stranger)

So let me know your thoughts, questions and feedback!!

I've got tanks of all ranges and would love to be a part of this.

Sure I can join if you put that on Defiant events.

Nice Idea. Have some Tankers from lvl 20-50 on Union. If i have time i will join.

I'm a bit of a tanker, so I'm in

sounds interesting, i am on Union, and have a couple of tankers it would be nice to get into some action. With advanced warning Tuesday evenings can be freed up for some Tankage.

Shout when you have some dates sorted.

Glad to see there is a bit of interest in this

In terms of days I was thinking of doing Defiant on the 3rd Tuesday of the month and Union on the 4th Tuesday of the month. So this would be mean that Defiant would be on the 21st September and Union on the 28th September this month.

Time wise I was thinking of 8.15pm BST/9.15pm CEST - which falls in time with the peek hours.

As I said I am a bit of a stranger to Union so could some recommend which chat channel would be best to advertise this on - I did a search for Union in the chat channel thing it came up with about 3 and Im not sure which is the most active one/frequently used.

I was planning on advertising it on Defiant Events and possibly the Europe United chat channels (if they will let me!).

My initial thoughts for a first event would be to run either Positron part 1 and/or 2 TF or a Synapse TF. I was thinking these as they would allow people to use both existing higher level tanks as well newer tanks so would be a bit more inclusive for a first time around

Any feedback on this???

For Union channels, "sals badgehunters" would probably be the best one.

I'd be well up for this but I only have one tank and she's in Praetoria, so I'd have to think about making a new one.

I'm on Defiant

Dates and times are good for me .

If the plan is to do a TF advanced notice of which for level requirments would be helpful.

I'm definitely up for this. As regards channels to advertise it I'd say either Sal's Badgehunters or Union Taskforce (which also organises and advertises events too).

I'd be interested too - been wanting to get more out of my wp/dm tank anyway

on Defiant

I got several tanks at your disposal, so i'm up for it (and just before F1 2010 is released so im safe).

But isnt Positron slighty bit too low to see the actual effect of a tank? (at best you would be around 20ish, that is just in range of Stamina but still out of range of the 'core business' of most tanks).

All scrapper teams are better. Do one of them too?

Thanks for the info on Union chat channels

I have been thinking about that. I was going to go with Positron or possibly a Synapse mainly because it would be more inclusive for people who would maybe have started new Tanks and lvl 10-15 is an achievable goal in the next couple of weeks even with very casual play.

I think the perfect TF would possibly be Sister P but from what I know that is still bugged as it spawns missions in Praetoria.

Plus from a personal note I don't have a high lvl tank on Union but really want to have this on both Defiant and Union. I am going to be lvling a Tank ready for the 28th so hopeefully he will be a decent level in time.

But we can always be flexible on the day and see what happens

If someone else wants to organise this go for it - personally I've never been able to get into Scrappers.

This is my first time organising an event like this for a whole server so I am bit nervous about it so I won't be organising a Scrapper team in the near future.

And thank you everyone for your feedback and interest in the event

Scrapper Saturdays/Sundays

OK - I am going to finalise the details for the first Tanker Tuesday:

TANKER TUESDAY EU


The first Tanker Tuesday EU will be on the following dates:

Defiant - Tuesday 21st September

Union - Tuesday 28th September

The meeting place will be by Blue Steel in Kings Row at 8.15pm UK time, 9.15pm European time

For the first meeting I am proposing one of the low level Task Forces, either:
* Positron part 1 (levels 10-15)
* Positron part 2 (levels 11-16)
* Synapse (levels 15-20)
* Sister Psyche (levels 20-25) - which I believe is now fixed

As all level ranges are welcome to the event this isn't set in stone but we will go by numbers and the level range of the toons.

Closer to the date I will ask the event to be advertised on the main server channels (thanks for the info on those!).

For this first event I will be there on my tanks Black Karhu (Fire/Fire on Defiant, Inv/Fire on Union).

If you have any questions/thoughts/suggestions either post them here, PM me or send me a tell in game (either @TiredAngel, @TiredAngel2).

Hi all,

I just popped in to wish you all the best with your Tanker Tuesday EU kick off tomorrow! I was trying to get a Euro account going to try to join you for this, but not sure how that's going to work out. Best of luck and have fun!

I,ll come along see if there is space for a late arrival to this thread
