~HWfRV: Admiral Sutter TF - Wednesday, April 20~
I will admit at times I was a bit confused as to where to go in this TF, but it was fun - lots of bosses to beat up. Only got difficult during the Duray battles (damn those airstrikes - what is this Worms?)
Sutter TF: 04/20/2011
Team E:
Mr E-Villain
Sevenpenny
Firetalker
Saltier
Infinite Agony
Dr. Turgenev
Luchs.
Atom Molecule
Team Luna was still running when I passed out last night - they were up to the Durays if I recall correctly.
Thanks for joining everyone - I will probably run this again on Saturday following the MoApex & MoTinMage TFs.
And if you are interested in the villain version, Megpie is running it tonight at 8pm & Luna on Monday at 10pm (both Eastern time zone).

I really liked the TF, but the door confusion was pretty epic. From the sewers before the last section, it's possible to exit into the normal, real Skyway. The other, correct exit takes you to the messed up one. And from the hospital, you have to go into a sewer entrance that looks just like the one you came out of to get there to get out of the big chamber. At one point I flew through the cracks, but couldn't figure out how to. I know Turg was able to TP through them.
I always like stuff like the "Defend Talos" stuff.
The boats were confusing, and the clicky portions weren't hard at all. Turg's confuse made the big warehouse a joke, and a pretty funny one at that. With the level of invisibility that the team had, we sailed through that entire portion.
One other odd thing, every time the on-screen caption from Sutter came through, it was under my map.
Had a good time, not sure I dig it too much as I had a bad pug earlier in the day and we didn't get past the ships.
Anyone know anything about the villain trial? I made Salty a vigilante just for the strike forces, etc.

I was a bad team leader and did not take note of who all was on my team! Sorry! We finished in about 1:36 with around 76 deaths lol. It was epic. Most of those where in the duray fights.|

I felt so lost and confused last night. I swear I will run on a PUG before I try to lead a new tf again lol. I think a couple of people on my team had made it about half way through the TF on pugs before, and the rest of us was complete newbs, so it was a mess!
I <3 Zombies btw. We were not screwed on that...... Duray yes... zombies no =P
The boats were very confusing. It wasn't until the end of the mission that I realized they were marked on my map
And yes, the map issues on that final map confused the heck out of me. I felt so stupid cause I could not find me way out of the hospital/underground
The airstrikes was what really got my team. We had a little luck pulling the Praetorian Durray under the bridge, and we didn't seem to get hit by the air strikes as much.
The Primal Durray was a B****. The little punk kept tping away. We were very light on holds, and the couple of people who had them kept getting slaughtered by the air strikes. We finally was able to pull it together and beat him down.... Unfortunately I was stuck in the hospital while my team did that, cause I'm an idiot.
As far as Mortimor Kal, Paragon Wiki actually has info on it. It sounds interesting, and hopefuly not as annoyingly hard in the end. I'll find out tonight! Megpie usually has 1-3 openings on his Thurs night run, so if you're interested, make sure you come out and join us! And as Mr E mentioned, the Monday Night Horde will be running 2-3 teams this Monday at 10pm Eastern.
Edit: I really overall liked this TF. The maps are great, and the enemies interesting. I think 2+ controllers/doms is really important for that final battle alone. I think the next time I run it, I'll enjoy it more because I'll have a better idea of what to do and where to go! =)

This was my big weakness with the last map: Directional confusion. IMO, having the two Durays standing atop the skyway... waaay to the north... with no idea where to go... was confusion part one. Part two is exiting the collapsed area.|

I sent up a suggestion to get a waypoint onto that sewer exit to the surface so it shows up on the map, or if they don't want to do that, put some emergency police beacons around the sewer exit so it's visible from a distance. Same thing with Duray: He's got troops up there on that platform. Drop a Raider-design troop carrier onto the skyway so it's obvious where the heck it is, even from a good distance. It's an invasion, right? Invade RIGHT.

I meant to get on and post after we did this task force, but of course I'm bad at forums, and I seem to always find something else to do rather than posting. It was really fun running with the team I had. I wasn't quite as confused as I had done it once the day before, but it still stands as being a very challenging TF, what with the Duray twins mopping the floor with us a few times. Nasty piece of AVing, but then again, if they weren't nasty why would we want to smash their lil punkin heads?
Thanks again and take care, hope to see you out there again. I also wish I saw your posts earlier as Dr. Johnny Feel Good really needs the MoTin done (only got one item left to do, but it took me forever to figure out what the area mines were and where they came from - I'd done Tin Mage several times, but never saw the mines for some reason . . . well, it is hard to keep people alive and be aware of everything else around you. That's my excuse and I'm stickin to it.)

I'm gonna redact my offer to lead, but still show up with Saltier. I messed up my health today with stupidity.
[long story follows]
So, I only got 4:20 of sleep last night so I had two of those StoK things in my milk this morning, falling asleep at work I drank a liter of Mt Dew, and I'm still suffering, so I take a Provigil (not to be taken with caffeine.) I couldn't stop gritting my teeth, I felt like I was going to throw up, pee myself, and couldn't breath. So, I leave work.
After I crashed for a few hours, then popped up like an insane person, I got online and Master-Blade actually got to witness some of my random intensity.
Not that I'm still as enthusiastic/irritable as before, but I'd rather be in absolutely no role of responsibility/authority for the next 12+ hours.
I'm really pleased my work let me go home rather than sending me for a drug test. Hell, it's 4/20 after all. Though I prefer to sabotage my body with prescription drugs. Hell, at least it wasn't a laxative or something.
