Shardtober 2010 Justin Augustine Task Force

The Place:
The Chantry. Accessible through Firebase Zulu (FBZ), which is accessible through the Portal Corp. on Peregrine Island. The contact Justin Augustine will be right next to the large wormhole and the smaller direct warp portal that enters the zone.

The Time:
Saturday October 16th and Sunday October 17th. Justin Augustine is an incredibly fast task force (depending on the travel powers and use of Ouro portals), so a late afternoon start time is viable. I suggest start times between 2 pm EST to 4 pm EST. (NOTE: I will be looking to host the Sunday TF run at 4 pm EST)

The Teams:
Level requirements are 44 to 50. Full teams are needed to start: you need 8 players ready and in the zone to begin. It'd help for a Level 50 to be leader to ensure adequate SK'ing.
The Shard realms are unique in that they consist of "floating islands" or bastions. They require Flight or Teleport for easy access. There are systems of jump geysers connecting the bastions, but you need a map figured out. To aid players, the Paragon military provide Jet Pack vendors in most of the shard realms: they're slow but they help. A jet pack vendor should be near a Rularuu Wisp vendor a few yards away from Justin.
The task force will confront large mobs of villains (Rularuu and Circle of Thorns for the most part). There is a lengthy "delivery" series of missions back in FBZ where Dr. Boyd sends you off to investigate monuments, so fliers/teleporters would work great on that series. Most of the missions are open field battles on the various Chantry bastions... and each open hunt involves a heavy Rularuu ambush, so have Tankers/Scrappers/Brutes/Stalkers/Khelds/Soldiers take the lead to each bastion.
Balanced teams - Aggro handlers, Damage dealers, and Buffer/Debuffers - are always your best chance of success.

The Mission:
Justin Augustine is worried about Faathim the Kind: Faathim is distressingly lonely and no one ever shows up for his kegger parties. So it's up to your team to comfort Faathim and pass the word about the keggers. Wait, what's this about the Circle of Thorns wanting to crash the party...?

The Difference:
This year, things have changed. Many a Villain has Gone Rogue. Many a Villain has sought redemption upon the streets of Paragon City. As such, there may be a sizable contingent of reformer Villains who seek to run these Shardtober tasks. Let them join. Let them face the threat of the Shadows...

The Sign-ups:
Two thread pages will be added below: One thread for Saturday Oct. 16th for sign-up and the other for Sunday Oct. 17th.
I might actually have this coming Saturday off, but I'm in the habit of scheduling for the Sundays, so I will aim to stick to that. I *may* pop in for Saturday in case more people are needed for extra teams.
Many thanks to those who do sign up, and best of luck to you all this weekend!

SATURDAY OCTOBER 16th
Justin Augustine Task Force - The Chantry
Start time: 2 PM Eastern (1 PM Central, NOON Mountain, 11 AM Pacific)
You can start at other times later than 2 PM if needed. The time can change if enough players ask for a later (or earlier) start time. But make sure everyone knows about it!
Given the relative brevity of this TF - 2 hours average nowadays - people can run this multiple times! Bwhahahahahaha! >:-)

All Eight Spots need to be filled to ensure the Task Force can start!

Right now that leaves an eighth spot. May need a Dominator or Controller for crowd control levels 44-50ish if anyone's interested. Otherwise another damage dealer will help for balance

Sunday at 4 pm is perfect for me. If we are running on saturday 2 pm is a little early for me but 4 pm is perfect. I will try to be there both days, but saturday at 2 is iffy.

I stated earlier i have ALL the badges on my main, but i am willing to assist others get the badges.

I have a Fire/Emp i can bring, but i want to try the JATF with my Claw/WP Scrapper or Emp/Rad Defender depending what the team needs.

I could not make it for today but i will be there tomorrow (sunday) at 4.

static shardtober finished in 1.38

i think we have a record though...


we had our 1st death within 5 seconds of me hitting start..

... yes, it was a pingu.

nj, slacker. way to represent the pingu's

Wow! Great runtime Cherry, Big Congratz!
