Strike Force Stats & Info:

  • This Strike Force requires a 4-person team to start & I will set it to No Temp Powers (which includes Veteran Reward Powers) & 0 Defeats
  • 9 missions (4 talks)
  • Badge(s): Arbiter & Master of the 5th Column Strike Force for No Deaths/No Temp Powers (no guarantees :smirk: )
  • Merit Reward: 30
  • Please note, this SF ends after the final Recluse Talk (not after the Reichsman mission)
Mr E-Man’s MoBSF Mission Notes:
  • General Instructions: Stick together, listen to instructions & do not be afraid to offer your opinion on strategy!
  • Mission One: Clear the ambushes in the end room (before going out to Ms Liberty).
  • Mission Two: Pull Numina out of the room to be cautious.
  • Mission Three: Talk
  • Mission Four: Fight the specified mobs/ambushes. Use the Ouro portals or the Flyer to exit after Invincible Reichsman spawns - the mission will time-out without anyone in
  • Mission Five: Stick together & clear until the key drops - doing so around the dig area is best since the door is there.
  • Mission Six: Talk
  • Mission Seven: Talk
  • Mission Eight - Part One: While this mission is not so much hard, there are a lot of chances for deaths to occur. First clear out all of the 5th Column & take care of any ambushes that occur when one of the AVs is rescued. Sac the AV, find the next AV, take out the ambush, etc.
  • Mission Eight - Part Two: Grab your temp powers & don't be afraid to use them - you can recharge them (all except the Fail Safe Guns -4 uses- which only Stalkers can use). Stalkers gain Max Stealth to enter the two gun rooms to nuke the ambushes, Corruptors/Dominators have attack/holds for the ambushes, Brutes/Veats gain a team End Drain resistance power, MMs can keep Reichsman from phasing.
  • Mission Eight - Part Three: We will be using the tunnel method. Reichsman will not leave the end room, so exiting into the tunnels when the ambushes start will keep them confined in a small area, making it easier for us to take them out safely. Everyone stay close & keep buffs/heals/debuffs running.
  • Mission Nine: Talk (Remember the SF completes after this talk, not after Reichsman is defeated)
  • Obviously this is still a work in progress.
Join in the fun & try to become the Master! Let's keep the unexpected company entertained this weekend! Sign-up here or send a global to @Mr E-Man

Mission Eight - Part Two: Grab your temp powers & don't be afraid to use them - you can recharge them (all except the Fail Safe Guns -4 uses- which only Stalkers can use). Stalkers gain Max Stealth to enter the two gun rooms to nuke the ambushes, Corruptors/Dominators have attack/holds for the ambushes, Brutes/Veats gain a team End Drain resistance power, MMs can keep Reichsman from phasing.

What do you mean by the temp powers here. I thought your disabling them.

In the final mission you get temp powers from the machine near Reichsman. They do different things based on what AT you are. They are designed to help defeat the ongoing ambushes. It's kind of part of the mission. They are not usable outside of the mission. He will be disabling regular temp powers (Part of what makes it an Mo).

Mr E, Please don't count on me being there as an alt tonight. I'm really tired and not feeling well, and I have to work tomorrow morning. So I think I'll be going to bed early tonight. Good luck everyone! See you next time =)

Thanks. Just a few more questions. Please forgive me for the questions but I want to now BEFORE I play so everything is seamless.

1. Are the temp power recharges automatic or do I have to do something to recharge?
2. Recipes that give temp powers. Will those be disabled too?

The Temp powers are granted by stepping into the machine in the last room of the last mission. If they run out, you can charge it again y stepping into the machine again.

All temp powers that are not part of the TF are disabled. There are very few exceptions (like the gun from the Kahn TF). Craftable powers are certainly disabled.

Unfortunately, it looks like I'm going to have to back out of tonight as well. The holiday has brought a handful of friends in town visiting their families, so we'll be getting together instead. I'm sorry I couldn't help out with this one. I wish you guys the best of luck. See you for the next one.

From my combat log:

Reichsman HITS you! Corrupted Lightning Bolt power had a 10.50% chance to hit and rolled a 8.05.
Reichsman stuns you with their Corrupted Lightning Bolt!
You are unable to use any powers!
Reichsman pounds Fugly as Sin for 537.2 points of negative energy damage!
Reichsman HITS you! Punch power had a 7.50% chance to hit and rolled a 7.46.
Reichsman punches you for 727.47 points of smashing damage!
Reichsman HITS you! Knockout Blow power had a 9.00% chance to hit and rolled a 0.94.
Reichsman demolishes you with a Knockout Blow you for 1096.8 points of smashing damage!

There's nothing wrong with the RNG, I swear!

Does this mean it was not a success?
Sorry guys.

Did there end up being more than one team?

lol

Well, we had one death on an otherwise very good attempt...it happens - unfortunately, we did not have any status protection buffs to offset Reichsman's 100 mag stun.


Failed MoBSF: 11/27/2010

The Team:

Neon Widow
Shadowrush
Fugly as Sin
Takeo
Captain Power
Diva Attitude
Lynner
Motorpsycho Nitemare

Thanks for joining everyone it was fun!

For all of the alternates that showed up, I am sorry that we did not get a second team going, but as I mentioned, without someone offering to lead a second team, I really have no options.

I will post up something for next weekend - day/event TBA...

It was quite sad. Fugly was in there taking the pounding and giving them like a champ. Then that one strike came and he collapsed. It was like watching your best friend getting beat up by the local bully. Just sad.
