GI - STF Sunday 2/26 - Statesman TF

My brother and I returned to CoH from an over 4 year hiatus a couple months ago, and have respecced and spent many hours familiarizing ourselves with the game as it exists today. We would very much like to do a Statesman TF this Sunday, and after much research online we discovered it's very difficult, so would need an experienced leader to run it.

Anyway, just gauging interest to see if there is anyone willing and able to lead, and how many would be willing to go. I would be bringing my FF Defender (extremely team oriented build), and my brother could bring his invuln tank or fire/fire blaster whichever was most beneficial to the team.

Thank you for your consideration.

If you're willing to wait until next Saturday at 1 pm EST, Ironblade will be leading one of these.

Also, starting Tuesday, STF will be the Weekly Strike Target, so you can count on many being run.

Ironblade will most likely post a sign-up thread tomorrow or the next day.

Please forgive my n00bishness, but what do you mean by weekly strike target?

Each week (beginning Tuesdays at around 8am Eastern), a different Task Force or Trial is chosen as that week's WST.

Currently, it's Dr Kahn TF (blueside) and Barracuda SF (redside).

If you complete a Task Force/Strike Force/Trial when it's a WST:

(1) You get double the normal amount of reward merits.

(2) If you're not yet level 50, you get bonus xp approximately equal to half a level.

(3) If you've unlocked the Alpha slot, you get a Notice of the Well, which is necessary to create Tier 3 and Tier 4 Alpha abilities.

These extra rewards are only good the first time you run that week's WST.

More info here.

To be precise, the XP bonus ranges from 1/3 to 1/2 of a level and is based on the length of the task force/trial/strike force.

Expanding on this, is the character you want to run in the STF level 50? Also, are you a VIP? (i.e. paying the subscription fee each month) If you answer yes to both questions, you should make sure to run the arc from Mender Ramiel in Ouroboros prior to running the STF. Ramiel's arc will unlock your Alpha Incarnate Slot, but only if you are VIP. Non-VIP's can not access any Incarnate content. So you can still do the STF and get all the bonuses except the Notice of the Well.

On that character. You can run the WST every day and get the bonus, as long as you run a different character each time.


Additionally, there are badges for 'assisting' on the Weekly Strike Target. 'Assisting' means doing the task force on a character that is NOT eligible for the bonus since they have already run it that week. And.... that's why I ran the Dr. Kahn task force 26 times in one week.
Most people don't care about badges in general, and these are more tedious than most.


Anyway, I run a task force every Saturday at 1PM EST. I post a message each week and we have a sign-up here on the forums but lots of people just show up. We usually end up with two teams. We run them using the league interface so we can chat across both teams.

Wow, I can't believe I haven't happened accross that info in the past couple months since my return.

My brother's account is a free one, and either of the chars he would bring are level 50 (he wants HOs on both eventually).
I actually have one free account with a level 50 FF Defender, and a VIP account with 2 (3 by tues) level 50 chars. I'll get my Fire/Ice blaster ready for alpha in case we don't need the defender for some of the runs.

Thanks so much for all the help guys!
