Strike Force Sundays

Had very few people show up this week, but that's not unusual for the Ouro strike forces. Still had a lot of fun though, starting with the Mender Tesseract Strike Force:

Team Size: 4
Deaths: 2
Time: 21:39

Afterwards we had a dominator alt over to a mastermind for the Mender Lazarus Strike Force. We hit a snag at the end of this one with too many of those Warwolf bosses ganging up on our Tank(Warshade) along with AoEs wiping out the MM pets. Oh, and my dominator pulling all kinds of aggro like usual. But we eventually got through it with only one full team wipe.

Team Size: 4
Deaths: 15
Time: 43:38

I like how that Zombie is pulling a total Matrix move in the background. Anyway, I also remembered to take a few bonus screenshots for the Photo Album!

Next up on the List is the 2nd Villain Respec Trial, since I didn't have time to run it this week. The respec trials can award up to 3 different badges depending on how many times you've done them. Also, if we're fast enough I'll try to run an Ice Mistral too, since that one can be done in about 45 minutes. Ice mistral awards the Crystal Keeper badge as well as a nifty temp power. So meet up in nerva next Sunday, September 4th at 5pm PDT/8pm EDT!

I've been thinking about moving the standard start time for SFS up to 1pm PDT/4pm EDT. The main thing I want to know is if this time would be bad for any of the people that show up to SFS on a regular basis? Let me know either way! If I do end up changing the time it won't be this upcoming sunday but the sunday after that.

My main concern would be how far away from primetime that is. Forming a strike force team is probably going to be more difficult.

Had a good number show up this week, it seems many people needed a respec. There was also enough interest to run an Ice Mistral!

2nd Treespec:
Team: 8
Deaths: 4
Time: 24:15

Ice Mistral:
Team: 7
Deaths: 10
Time: 58:04

As usual here's the Photo Album.

I've added a new feature to the List back on the first page. It's the "Since Last Round" column and it basically shows how much the average time increased or decreased. So for example, Ice Mistral says "down 0:01:01" which means that the Ice Mistral we ran tonight lowered the average by 1:01.

Now, next week's SF will be the Imperious Strike Force, which I'm pretty sure everyone is familiar with by now. If you're interested make sure you have access to Cimerora and meet us there next Sunday, September 11th at 5pm PDT/8pm EDT!

This week was ITF and it filled up fast. I know I'm surprised.

Team Size: 8
Deaths: 28

Next up on the List is the 3rd Villain Respec Trial. And since that will probably only take about 10 minutes we'll also do the Lord Recluse Strike Force! So meet up in Nerva next Sunday, September 18th at 5pm PDT/8pm EDT!

Ohh, I think I'm going to try to come for the LRSF. I see lots of purple doom in the album from your ITf... *high fives the purple doom*

Ok, so if tomorrow morning's patch doesn't include a fix for LRSF we'll do lady grey instead. Either way I'll post here tomorrow evening to confirm.

Yeah, so no patch which means no fix. Looks like this sunday we'll do the 3rd respec trial and then a Lady Grey Strike Force.

It was a day of many crashes. Somehow that made me forget to take lots of screenshots. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Treespec 3
Team Size: 6
Deaths: 1
Time: 15:42

Lady Grey
Team Size: 8
Deaths: 16
Time: 1:04:09

Next week we'll either go for the Lord Recluse Strike Force, or if that hasn't been fixed yet, the Barracuda Strike Force. So if you want to do something somewhere, meet up next Sunday, September 25th, at 5pm PDT/8pm EDT!

Had sort of a late start this week since an Underground trial started recruiting right before I did, but eventually enough people joined. Also I kinda slacked off with the screenshots again AND forgot get a screen of our time so I don't remember how long we took.

Deaths: ?
Time: ?

So I must have been really absent-minded earlier because I announced in-game that next week would be Mender Silos and Apex, but then I checked the List and saw that next week will actually be Barracuda. So anyway, next Sunday, October 2nd, at 5pm PDT/8pm EDT we'll meet up in Grandville for Barracuda and probably try another master run, since that one is so elusive.

I need that Mo Barracuda, so I will try to make the SF Sunday on October 2.

Thanks for organizing these events.

Take care.

Thank you for running the SF today. I had a great time.

Take care.

Better late than never! So I forgot to take screenshots until the fight with Reichsman, so this week's album is pretty empty. Oh, also we failed the Master run again, but at least this time it wasn't my fault.

Team Size: 8
Deaths: 1
Time: 1:26:59
We improved the Strike Force Sunday average Barracuda time by almost 5 minutes, not bad for a cautious master run!

Next up on the List is a double header: the Mender Silos Strike Force followed by the Apex Strike Force! Mender Silos starts in Villain Ouroboros, so only Villains and Rogues can join. So if you're interested meet up in Ouroboros next Sunday, October 9th, at 5pm PDT/8pm EDT!

We started tonight off with a very average Mender Silos Strike Force. I mean that literally since our finish time was EXACTLY what the average time for that SF was. After that it was off to the Rikti War Zone to run Apex where we had the most deaths ever recorded in Strike Force Sundays history! Thanks Battle Maiden!

Next up on the List is the Tin Mage Strike Force, which awards the Alpha Struck badge. We'll be trying for the midnight dodger badge, but not too hard. So if you want to dodge bombs planted by Director 11's imaginary friend, meet up in the Rikti War Zone next Sunday, October 16th at 5pm PDT/8pm EDT!
