Newb Question - Do most of you just have tankers on all the servers to play? Or is there a character copy/transfer thing you can do?

Thanks!

There are character transfers, but they cost real money, so I imagine most people aren't blowing $ to move their tanker around to follow the event from server to server. I believe most people either have tanks on many of the servers, or else just wait around until it comes to a server where they do have tanks.

This is what it means to be a tank!

As Muon mentioned most of the Tanker Tuesday regulars created new tanks on other servers. There was also a couple of windows before Going Rogue was released where the Devs gave away free transfers, so I wouldn't be surprised if a few players took the opportunity to shift tanks around. Some prefer to wait for the Tanker Tuesday event to get to their server to participate.

With the upcoming i21/City of Heroes: Freedom launch and the included free monthly transfers for VIP subscribers, I would expect a few more to take advantage of the free transfers to shift toons around.

I am a reg TT attendee and most of us has a tank on every server, yes that includes me. I have at least 1 tank on every server of all different types.

My wife and I are quite happy to be afflicted with altitus, and thus, having a tanker on every server was not a problem For tanker tuesdays, there is no level requirement, just be a tank, we'll get you in on a team, even as a level 1


Combat Kangaroos, Justice Server. First 50's
Jirra Roo Plant/Storm/Stone/Musculature Controller
Combat Kangaroo Rifle/Energy/Mace/Spiritual Blaster
Kung Fu Kangaroo Martial Arts/Reflexes/Body/Spiritual Scrapper
Tribal Arc Shield/Elec/Mu/Spiritual Tanker

There are so many primary/secondary combinations, even when just talking about the Tanker AT, and the Tanker Tuesday tour gives me a chance to try out a lot of things I hadn't had a chance to try out yet.

I used to do TT on Champion when it was just there and Justice, so I have a level 29 there. I think I have an 8 on Justice. I live on Freedom so I can bring whatever.

I show up if I feel like it. It's a good event to go to, but mainly I run TFs with the forum group here on Freedom.

You can bring any level to TT, but you might feel a little like you're getting PLed if you are a level 2 showing up. The reason I have the toon on Justice is I thought it was Freedom day so I was asking in Tank HQ and they said to just roll a quick one, so I did. [But /kin feels a little to much like MA/ to me.]

Don't forget Tanker Tuesday Champion will be this evening. Same Tank time, Same Tank channel, same Tank location.

Most have tanks on every server.
Because you can never have too many tanks.

Hi all,

Over the weekend there were several questions as to the status of TT on Justice this Tuesday. I plan on holding TTJ at the usual time and place. We'll make the best of it with the Issue 21 rolling live, updates and patching. Hopefully all will go smoothly and worst-case scenario, we'll just have a bunch of freshly rolled Tanks sporting the proliferated sets.

I imagine we'll have folks showing up a little later due to all the patching fun, so maybe plan on missions teaming, and we'll go from there.

See ya' all tomorrow (in Issue 21!)

Hmmm... tough choice. Slog through the mid 20s, or start fresh with something completely new... It would have been a much easier choice if Street Justice was coming out

I hear ya' Cainus. Although a SR/MA is definately tempting, I was hoping for StJ toon. Ah well...next time...

Rangle, NooooOOOoooooo!! Actually I hope the gig is going well. Take care bud, see ya' when you're on again.

What? No Exalted server?



 

Posted

I'm not sure I would want to include "Exalted" in the TT roulette. From what I can tell Tanker Tuesdays have always been an inclusive event. Especially with the Tanker Tuesday Tour.

"We" want to include anyone and everyone who wishes to join in on the fun. Because the soon to be accessible Exalted is a VIP only server, doing a TT on Exalted will suddenly become an exclusive not inclusive event. I'm not sure it fits the original concept of TT to exclude F2P or Premium players from joining in on a TT event. Mayhaps a special edition TT would be in order, but I'm currently not sold on the idea. I'll have to mull it over a bit longer.

So true, now for TTJ hum should Numa dose sound tempting as well.

Now that I finally got back on to the forums, I can relay Warboss's message:

Thank you for posting that for me Pep. Looks like the help ticket finally paid off, I back in the forums!! (was probably a Rangle plot ™ all along...).

See you all tomorrow on Defiant!!

Good grief! They killed my sig!!!

Hi all,

Even with the emergency patch today, I'll still attempt to run TTD. Tartgeted start time is Noon PT and I'll wait up to 12:30pm to get things going. If the servers aren't up by then, we'll reschedule.

Hope to see you soon!

I've been thinking about this very issue, and it seems we're facing the same problem we did when the Euro servers were added "too many server, too few Tuesdays". I think the event idea is the way to go. At this point I'm thinking of running a TT on Exhalded on a Saturday, perhaps the first one of each month. So, please provide feedback to this thread with ideas and comments.

I'll see you all in game (when the servers are back up....)
