Shardtober 2010 Faathim the Kind Task Force
Whenever there's a fifth weekend for Shardtober, I leave that open due to the Trick or Treating going on in the game, as well as the real life trick-or-treating going on in peoples' lives.
I know I will be busy this Halloween in RL, and as for Saturday... well, Beetle King is hosting the taxing and endurance-testing Shard-A-Thon (all four shards in one sitting) on the 30th, so there is that.
If there is a particular Shard TF needing done that people want that Saturday afternoon, let me know here or in-game @witty librarian.

One of the reasons I go through the hassle of posting sign-ups for the Shardtober TFs is that without those sign-ups it takes FOREVER to get people online to agree to waste a few hours task-forcing. Even for short and sweet TFs like Hess or Sister Psyche, it's like pulling teeth, taking hours just to even get started. For time-consuming TFs like the Shards, getting a pre-ordered sign-up going made the most sense.
Hence, I've got it my head that once the sign-ups been done and did there's this... well, 'professional' need to ensure that everything goes according to plan. That we get everyone who signed up the chance to show up, for starters. That we get a team balanced to ensure best possible survival (in the case of TFs with AVs like Sara Moore and Faathim's, that we have at least one aggro taker and at least one debuffer).
In that mindset, when something doesn't go according to plan, I gripe. I snarl. I have been known to kvetch. Wailing and gnashing of teeth soon follow if the collapse of the plan ends up with a failed mission.
I have teamed with you on many an occasion, PHIRE. And for the most part you've done your gameplay duties (yes, I am thinking of it as a duty, shame on me) effectively well. It's just... you've had these disconnect problems before... and it's just... well... for me it's a little annoying. Especially when everything that got planned out during sign-up had left both PHIRE characters as our only Defender-based debuffers. Both of them gone = slight problems with the regular AVs we fought like Malaise and Mother Mayhem but also = massive problem with a high-end Lanaru that team-wiped us twice with barely a quarter of damage inflicted on him.
Hence the griping.
This TF would complete the ShadowShard TF badges for me... sorry you guys werent able to complete the TF
