Task Force Commander Marathon Runs


Artic Keeper

 

Posted

With the new release of Converters I have noticed a steady decline in my merit totals, as a result Task Force Commander Marathon runs will start back up this week (April 28th) and will be divided into a two-day time frame. Each segment may take up to three/four hours depending on team.

Task Force Commander Self: +5% Max Health

Saturday: Starts @ 4 p.m. Eastern

  • Positron (Both Parts) Level 10/11+
  • Synapse Level 15+
  • Penelope Yin Level 20+

Merit Gain: Approx. 104

Sunday*: Starts @ 4 p.m. Eastern
  • Citadel Level 25+
  • Manticore Level 30+
  • Numina Level 35+

Merit Gain: Approx. 108


Total Merit gain for both days will equal about 212 Merits (not counting WST gains). If one participates for one whole month total merit gain will equal 848 (4 Weeks).

Per usual, as long as you meet the required level you may join. On certain occasions I have personally leveled to each task force up to level 34, so if one wishes to bring a lowbie and stick with it, they may.

Send any questions to @Sepultura

*Sunday times may vary, however I will keep updates if a late start occurs

Yay! I won't be able to join this weekend, but I should be good for most weekends after Thanks Sep!

My character Zorba needs Synapse, but it doesn't seem a sure bet that it will be over before the MoUGT. Too bad.

I am available to do a Synapse, if you catch me in a good mood, other than Saturdays. Also keep in mind that we may go out of order depending on schedules and number of people present. I personally do not mind doing a Synapse or Citadel first so long as I get my 100 merits at the end of the day.

Thanks for all that stuck it through with me during both parts.

Yes, this is every weekend unless noted here or in-game.

I am also more than willing to run 'split' teams in league mode (especially for the lower population needed TF's such as Syn/Sister) if more than eight show and things may be divided evenly.

Hope to see you next week!

(Also, if you see a Searing or Cleric on the team, assume that it will be a speed run)

Sunday, May 6th, I will be cancelling 'Part 2' as it is a certain person's birfmas and the fact that finals are the next day. Saturday I will be willing to partake in Part 1, however it may be a free for all (as I have a final that day as well).

Good luck on all your exams.

I will be going in a different order this Saturday (May 12th) to test out a new formation. I will be going basically backwards from Manticore - Positron and then Numina. This rotation will insure an easier team fill for those task forces that require 7/5 people if any do not wish to stick around for the final rounds.

Yes, I will be running all of them in one day or in hopes to achieve this even with the later starting date than the previous set time. Sunday will most likely as well go this way if proven successful. This means that instead of 200+ merits a weekend run, one may earn up to 400+ merits for one week.

Hope to see a good turn out and thanks to all that continue to show and participate!

I have been and will continue to help with this when I can. Always a blast! Thanks for doing this.

I feel it's worth pointing out - any pug that can do a Synapse in an hour is not just a pug. Maybe I was lucky to be on a team where folks knew what to do and a better/faster way to do it. Color me impressed. I can't recall the exact time, but I'm thinking it was like 1:08 (5/12 or 5/13)

Color me impressed. It was a privilege to be on the team.

When you run all of the required task forces for the accolade in one night, you learn a few things to speed things up.

However, thanks for the kind words, appreciated.

When Crusherina is not playing with her kitty it normally soft caps the speed at which the TF's are done

Canceled today due to lack of response.

Will be canceled next week as well, I will be out of state.

Updated totals to reflect Sister/Yin change.

If the team already has the minimal of five and wishes to do the old arc for the 50 merits given by Sister, I would be willing.


Runs will start up again June 9th.

If you run the old Sister TF thru Ouroboros, will it give the 50 merits. The old Positron TF merits were cut in half when it went to flashback. It has been quit a while since I've done it that way do not if that is still true.

Boo...I needed a run today

Just a heads up for those that participate, I may or may not be available at 4 p.m. to begin the runs, however I will be on when I can (if I leave at all). Which means I will be on to start a few runs earlier or later into the night.

Remember that if you do need anything please feel free to send me an in-game tell as I do get sidetracked easily, or if you want more runs Sunday as I try to do them all in one day.


Also, I have yet to run the Sister in Ouro yet (especially when I can run Yin in about 19 minutes on a good day for easy merits) but willing to give it a test run if there are five people willing.

I have a feeling that the statement above was directed towards me. Silly Marsh.

June 23rd is Cancelled.

Internet related issues.

I will continue Sunday if connection is stable.

For those that participate:

It seems that my internet usually goes off around the same time in the early beginnings of the afternoon, with this in mind I plan on running earlier and taking a time frame of breakage (roughly from 2-5 pm Central) and starting back up to finish off. However, if all is stable in that time frame I will of course keep on rolling.


Sister Psyche Ouro-Force:

I have not personally ran this, but a friend of mine said that he received about half of the previous 50 merits, so about 25 or so merits in Ouro, which seems to follow the same rule of the Ouro-Positron.
