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.

I'm very interested in this as well, but with I-19 just released the timing isn't very easy for me. Shadowrush just became a Hero again for I-19 a few days ago and I'm not yet done with stuff.

I'll start turning him into a Vigilante tonight and should be done by tomorrow and be able to join you guys.

Sorry about last week. I'll definately try to be here for this week though.

With the new Issue release, I have a few toons switching sides for the new badges in Ouro, so I'm not sure who will be available on Villainside at the time, so we'll have to figure that out later.

See you then!

I signed up for Kotchie's i19 TFs, but we should be done in time for this. Sign me up as TBA, but I'll probably bring one of my two badgers (Empath or Mind Dom) for the shard reward.

Just a reminder...

Ugh late on posting for it again. will bring BlueBullet2.2 again.

Friend is vig this time so if he is coming we won't be late again. I will lead a 2nd team for whoever wants to do it if........1: my friend comes and if he doesn't come if 2: I don't get on Mr.Es team. So 90% chance I will lead a 2nd team.

i am Kat/regen and he is an emp. he has the rech/heal alpha and I have the first recharge and only need 3 more shards for rech/heal so will most likely have by tonight.

I would like to come if you end up having room. Takeo - Cold/Ice Defender

Well we didn't get the Mo, but we managed to finish it at least. We were a few short so we got 2 or 3 PuGs in Grandville. We started with 7, but our Empath had to quit halfway through the second mission....

Team
Blue Bullet2.2
Takeo
Hatake Kasumi
Burning Rubber
Mind Tap-
KO Fury

2:34:xx with 10 defeats

That is pretty good since we only had Cosmic for 1/5 of it and absolutely no heals after that. If he could have stayed think we could have avoid all the deaths before the final mission and the ambushes. But with KO dcing a ton during that last mish we probably would have failed cause no one else had taunt not his fault he actually got back in really fast.


Edit: want to know how well you guys did.

I would have posted last night, but for some reason, none of the CoH website would load for me until this evening.

Anyway.. it was smooth sailing most of the time. We had a couple Dark Miasma on the team, and combined with the Force Fields, we barely got touched... until the ambushes at the end we finally had a fluke death (probably from some stray Missile AoE). Overall it was a lot of fun and we got a couple handfuls of Incarnate Shards along the way.

I don't remember the exact completion time, but I think we ended with only that one death.

Yeah that was my poor little MM that bit the dust. It hit me so fast I didn't even have time to click Hibernate. Yeah that was the only death. I got 8 shards that run but I think a couple of guys got 10.

I was having issues logging onto the CoH forums as well.

Almost 3 hrs - we did not have a stealth/tp combo on the team, so we fought through everything: 2 hrs 49 min 55 secs with 1 death.

I normally do not run any Master of... attempts mid-week - my runs are usually Saturday night (occasionally Friday depending on my Static Team schedule).

I am sure that others do mid-week runs - keep checking the forums & the various in game channels.

------------------------------------

Thanks for joining everyone, it was a lot of fun. Wish I would have had the time to get my alpha slot prior so I could have cashed in on the incarnate salvage, but I am ready for next run!

Next week I will be out of town, so I will not be hosting a Master of... run. I'll have a post up for the following week soon(ish).

Also, remember Heroic Wednesdays for Reformed Villains this week is the Lars Hansen Story Arc (through Ouro) followed by the Hess TF.

Look for the sign-up thread later today.

The CoH servers have been woefully slow the past few days. You do these regular, right? How about putting these in the calendar? Think about the christmas/new years weekend. I'm online from the 12/23rd till 1/2. I even created an EU account last week so I could play in the morning :-) I want to do some of these with you again. Also, how hard is it to enable the alpha slot? I haven't logged in to my NA account since I19

It is not difficult to get the alpha slot - the first run through though, I read everything & fought everything, so it took me almost 2 hrs. But after you get the hang of it, you can probably run it in under 30 mins. Oh, and you do need to have Going Rogue.

Some of the EBs can be challenging based on your AT/Build.

I travel over Christmas weekend, so that is pretty much out for me - not sure about New Years weekend.

I have GR so I'm fine but which run did you do? Will any run do or do you have to do the Ouro run?

I did Ouro - I thought that was the only way... I did one hero & one villain so far.

It is but I didn't know it when you posted. You just said "run." I was reading about the Alpha and put the it together. Have a safe trip next week.
