Tomorrow, FRIDAY MAY 20th at 7:00 PM Central Time, we will be running the Mortimer Kal Strike Force (lvl 20-40) in Sharkhead Isle.
A few of the regulars have sent me messages advising they can not make it for DP night tonight, so for this week only, Dual Pistols Night has been moved to Friday. Post above has been edited to reflect the correct date and start time.
Howdy partners! Tonight, Thursday May 26th at 7:00 PM Central, we will be running the Silver Mantis Strike Force in Sharkhead Isle. Fair warning, my wife and I got a new 8 week old puppy on Saturday so I may be AFK unexpectedly throughout the evening as we are trying to house train.
I just rolled a storm/DP defender just so I can get in on your action.
To what level do I need to get, or is there enough interest in a lowbie team?
I'm not sure how quickly I can level her as I've got a lot of stuff, then a vacation, coming up. But I've envied the DP team for a while but couldn't get into any of the power combos until I realized I could make a Storm/DP, which while not a lot of synergy, hits me as fun.
These are every Thursday at 7p central? And I guess once I get to 20 I need to go vigilante to be able to get on the whole map.
I knew you would give in eventually.
Yes, Thursdays at 7pm Central is when we normally run the DP team. Right now we are working our way through the red side strike forces so if you could level up and go vigilante, that would be awesome. My playing time is pretty limited here lately, but add me to global @Guardian Irish-Fury, and next time you see me online, shoot me a tell and I might be able to PL you a bit to help you catch up.

I'll see how much I can tear myself away from my main toon, though by the end of June, I have two week vacation starting next weekend, I should have her well into her twenties. If the level disparity is too much between the core toons, I can lead a second team that goes off doing tips/ouro/lowbie TFs.

We have a core group of 5 or 6 that consistently make it out each week and we are mostly in the 40-50 range. If you wanted to run a lowbie team each week, that would be awesome! I have a level 15 DP blaster that could use some playing time.
I'll be in the 20s by next Thursday. Then my goal'll be to turn vigilante to open up the other side.
Most of the Task Force Commander requirements are sub 30. So there is that. Also helping anyone else turn vigilante, etc.
I didn't realize that defenders get a damage buff for small teams and an endurance reduction buff for injured players. But I tell ya, being Storm/DP, I'm not much of a healer. Handin' out aspirins.

Healing is over rated anyway. We have a thermal corruptor that does a good job of keeping us alive, but from all of the buffs and debuffs being thrown around, there is little need for heals. A stormie would be a welcome addition to the line up. |

Next week we are going back to blue side temporarily to take a second shot at the Admiral Sutter TF since it is the WST. We have completed it once before, but not without a lot of frustration. We are all older with better builds and such so it should be a fun ride this time around. The min level is 20, so if you can get there by next week, we can hold a spot for you.
Yeah, we had a hard time with the final AV fight. Once we pulled Preatorian Duray under the overpass, we were able to dispatch him pretty easily. Primal Duray took a bit longer due to the constant teleporting, but we finally wittled him down. I'm looking forward to taking another crack at it.
Tonight, at 7 PM Central Time, we will be running the Admiral Sutter Task Force in Independence Port (lvl 20-40).
Be there or pay the price...
Just wanna say, I'd really like to take part in this one day, but your time slots SERIOUSLY don't mesh with mine. :P If you ever timeshift to the weekends after 10pm EDT, I'll start paying more attention. GL with the pistolwork!

Really sorry about last night. My wife and I had a minor dog-related emergency that we had to tend to right away. I spoke to Brave Starr later on and he said they did wind up getting a team together a bit later than usual to run Sutter. Sorry I wasn't able to let anyone know ahead of time that I wasn't going to make it. Real life happens.
We will get back on track next week. I'm going to hold off on deciding what we run until they announce the next WST.
Once again, it seems real life is getting in the way of my game time. I will make my best effort to be home on time tonight, but I can't guarantee it. Even so, let's plan on meeting in Cimerora and tackling the ITF again. Same time, 7:00 central. Hope to see you all there.
We had a good run on the all dual pistols ITF and showed the Romans why it's a bad idea to bring a knife to a gun fight.
After our absolute domination of the ITF, I am feeling rather confident in our abilities these days. Tonight at 7:00 PM central time, we will attempt the Dr Kahn Task Force in Founders Falls. Reichsman is a tough nut to crack, so bring your big guns.
I was almost embarrassed for Reichsman after he went down so fast. Six DPs and one stray dominator finished the Kahn TF in 23:50, my best time ever.
After two amazing weeks of DP destruction, I am feeling very cocky. Next week's WST is the STF, and LRSF. I have never actually run the LRSF, and I would like to do so. Can we handle it?
Sorry I'm posting this so late, but between RL and reading up on CoH: Freedom, I totally spaced on letting everyone know what we will be doing tonight. I considered the LRSF, but honestly, I would prefer to wait until at least most of us have some incarnate abilities to throw around before we tackle that. That being said, I would still like a bit of a challenge so I would like to run something I have not had the opportunity to run before. So, tonight at 7:00 PM Central, we will be running the Barracuda Strike Force in Grandville.
Okay, now THAT was impressive! Last night our core team showed up to give Reichsman another spanking. Unfortunately, everyone else in the Rogue Isles seemed to want to take on Statesman so we weren't able to pick up any DP straglers.
Being the less than cautious group that we are, we decided that we would take on the Cuda SF with a team of four, yes that's right FOUR dual pistols toons. Did we die a lot? Heck yes we did!! Did Reichsman beat the living crap out of us? Repeatedly and without mercy. Did we give up and go home with our tails between our legs? HELL NO!! Through the employment of a bit of strategery (That word is the best thing George W gave this country) and quite a large dose of insanity (repeating the same action expecting different results) we did defeat the Reichsman and completed our four man Dual Pistols Barracuda strike force.
Great work Aestra, Vigil Ante Up, and Brave Starr. That was quite an accomplishment.
This week, while working on Rogue tips to get back to blue side, Cobalt-Cowboy dinged 50!! Woohoo! Last night he participated in, and failed the Keyes Island Reactor Trial, but it was good fun nonetheless.
Anyway, there is but one (not counting the LRSF) red side SF that we have not done, and it just so happens to be the WST this week. What luck! So we will be meeting at the normal time to run the Ice Minstral SF in St Martial.
Last night's Ice Minstral SF was a walk in the park. Next week we will be returning to hero side. I'll wait to pick our TF until the WST is announced. Now that the core group is all level 50, I've got my eye on Apex and Tin Mage.
Not sure if i will be able to make it this week. The wife and I are leaving Friday for a weekend vacation and will likely be spending Thursday evening packing. That being said, I may be able to sneak away for an hour to ruin a quick TF... shall see. this week's WST is Sutter which we have already run twice so I'd rather not do that. I've narrowed it down to three options, and I'll leave it up to you guys to decide which one we want to do.
Apex
Tin Mage
Mender Silos (Ouroboros)
It appears that I will not be able to make it tonight. Still a lot to do to prepare for our weekend. Hopefully I will see you all next week.
Well, I guess this day had to come eventually. My schedule has become too hectic and unpredictible for me to continue a static team with any reliability. I will be returning to school in a few weeks to work on completing my degree and my already limited game time will be cut even shorter. We had a great time and acomplished some pretty amazing things. I will still be running all DP TFs and such in the future, just not on a set schedule. I'll be sure to post a new thread whenever I decide to put one together. Until then my pistol-packing heroes!
There is always room for a new recruit. We have about 6 regulars that show up almost every week so we usually have a couple spots to fill. Most of us are in the 40ish level range, but we do often exemp down to run lower level TFs and SFs. This Thursday the plan is to run the Mortimer Kal Strike Force in Sharkhead Isle which is level 20-40, so as long as you can ding 20 before Thursday, we would be happy to have you. (Most of us have a western theme going on, but this is in no way a requirement.)
