Strike Force Info & Stats:- This Strike Force requires an 8-person team to start & I will set it to No Temp Powers (which includes Veteran Reward Powers) & 0 Defeats
- 6 missions (1 talk to)
- Badge(s): Servant of Recluse, Master/Mistress of Olympus, Annihilator, Master of Lord Recluse's Strike Force for No Deaths/No Temp Powers (no guarantees of course :smirk: ) plus progress towards the Monkeywrencher badge for Zeus Titans
- Merit Reward: 25
- This Strike Force (by necessity) will probably be limited to just one team, and we have had overages the past couple of times we ran – I do try to be fair about holding spots based on the sign-up order, but it is not always possible & I hope there will be no hard feelings.
- Stick together, listen to instructions & do not be afraid to offer your opinion on strategy!
- First Mission: Completely clear to all of the doors - including the turrets. The Scientist location can be ascertained by checking the number of red objective points in each door (3 yes/2 no). Wait for & clear the ambushes (3) after kidnapping the scientist (you may need to move him to the door to get the ambushes to spawn. Clear the left side to Crimson - Pets on passive to avoid Hero agro until we are set.
- Second Mission: In the water to the Khronos Titan. Clear around the nearby mobs & take out the Titan. Clear the mob in front of the door. Stealth & TP to the end area if possible, if not stick together & clear. Clear the two areas before opening up the door. After aggroing the Slinger, try to clear the surrounding mobs before taking him down to make it less hectic for when he spawns his bots.
- Fourth Mission: After talking to Grillo (Third Mission), move to the base of the Atlas Statue. We may need to clear some nearby mobs first. Pull to the front foot of the statue (furthest from the Heroes). Pull/Kill order: Numina, Sister Psyche, Manticore, BABs subject to pulling circumstances.
- Fifth Mission: Clear to the Vindicator door, while the rest of the team sets up back down the hall, someone stealthy should open the door. Pull/Kill order: Malaise, Swan, Luminary, Mynx, Valkyrie (x2) subject to pulling circumstances. Clear to the glowie. Set-up & wait for the ambush (we usually go back to the main hall by the large room). Clear to Ms Liberty. Use the rifle on her & take her down.
- Sixth Mission: Clear to the right side of the Atlas Statue (to avoid any cross agro). Stay together & keep buffs/debuffs running. From this side, Pull/Kill order: Numina, Synapse. Clear to the left side of the Atlas Statue. From this side, Pull/Kill order: Sister Psyche, Manticore. From here, we can determine which side to pull from next & which hero to pull. Of course this is all subject to pulling circumstances. Apparently if Statesman is mentally undressing Numina, it will result in an “All-Pull” situation. If this occurs, we will determine a strategy - perhaps logging out to reset the mission & hoping for a better distribution of the heroes. Conversely, we my try the sleep & pull method if we have the right team make-up.
- This is still a work in progress…so please chime in with ideas!

I would like to get somebody in place, so I can have a better handle on how the teams will be set up.Quote:E,
Whoever leads the second team is going to have to have the SG computer in their base as well.... Just a reminder!

It's not looking good for me to get home by 9pm - I'm running at least an hour behind schedule.
Sorry & good luck tonight! -

A Friday the 13th Bonus Mr E-Man's semi-regular & mostly useless information post #76
Happy Friday the 13th
This was originally posted way back in the old X Syndicate thread. -
Gen, move me to the Alt list for tonight please.
After the way I was falling asleep last night, I think I need to take a night or two off - I will try to be on in case you need me though.
Sorry, I'm just dead tired right now & it's only 9am...
Give my spot to CrazyJerseyan. -
Well, it was a mixed bag last night...
We had a full team for the first part - I decided to start with something easy (lol) to get us going...
We ran Operative Wellman's Breakout at the Zig
I set it for: Constant Debuff, Enemies Buffed, AT powers only, 0 Defeats & 30 minutes (lol at the last two).
...27 deaths & 1 hour 30 minutes later we came away with the Venturous, Audacious & Contributor badges...
By this time, I was dead...along with a few others, but Paragon had the idea to run Levantera's Strange Case of Benjamin Decker arc since it is quick...so I hung around along with a few other people...
I set this one for: No Enhancements, No Patron/Epic Powers, 0 Defeats & 30 minutes...
In the first mission, I partially fell asleep & woke up to a sliver of health & death...
In the second mission MB & I got stuck in the door entering the mission...we never got loose...
We finished up in 17 minutes with a few (I think 3) deaths...and achieved the Unenhanced, Marginalized & Gold Medalist badges.
Sorry I was so tired last night everyone...I was really out of it at times...
I was so out of it, I forgot to take any screenshots...
Thanks for joining & we'll try something like this again if we have the interest. -

Mr E-Man's semi-regular & mostly useless information post #264
The History of Veterans Day!
Happy Veterans Day! -
Quote:And this after a 35+ minute delay after the patch reversion broke some pigg files for me...Well, attempt #1 failed when I followed a Brute into a mob in Numina's room (after she was defeated) and I caught a bunch of AoE damage. Stunned, lit afire, filled with holes, and burned to death.
After clearing the room, we restarted with a couple of people switching toons (myself included). We lost 2 people with the restart, so we picked up Scruffy and MB and pushed forward. There were a couple of close calls on the way to the end, but no deaths until GW decided to target our Stalker instead of the Brutes. Attempt #2 failed, but we continued to the end with 3 deaths in total (R-man caught someone in his AoE twice, I think).
Anyway, good show gang. Sorry I f'd up the first run.
I also crashed a couple of times during our runs...not a very stable night for me (although when playing, whenever I checked my netgraph was very smooth with no lag spikes)...
The Team (for round two):
Cold Satisfaction: Ice/Dark Corruptor
Supreme Soviet: Bots/Traps Mastermind
Inducto: Elec/Regen Stalker
Deus Ex Stone: ???/Stone Brute
Infinite Agony: Mind/Psi Dominator
Kin Rothko: Rad/Kin Corruptor
Mr Matchstix: SS/Fire Brute
Robin Rogue: Dark/Kin Corruptor
Master of the Barracuda SF: Failed Attempt - Stat Box
I was out of melee when Inducto got held by GW - I moved in to try to catch him with my Twilight Grasp heal, but did not get close enough in time...
Just a little bad luck, but a good run none-the-less.
Thanks for joining everyone! -
-
uhh - I am having some issues...
My update of the repatch failed & now I am in the midst of patching 350mb of pigg files...which it says will take about 30 mins...
It is not looking good for me, I suggest you get going without me.
I hope someone is checking the boards...
----------------------------
Edit, forgot to say that I tried bypassing the updater & I was getting the wrong version error... -
Well, I am repatching...after I patched at lunch today...
Hopefully I will only be a couple of minutes late. -
Just a heads up: there was a patch today, so try to run the updater early to avoid delays tonight...
...and, this bit of info regarding TFs/SFs...
Tasks
- Fixed a bug where Task / Strike Forces with a Level range that includes Level 50 (in the TF/SF range) spawn at one level below the teams level.
-
I will do my best to be there for Friday night, but Saturday is definitely out for me.
-
Quote:well there was no Mo badge on the all scrapper ITF run. We had some lag in the first mission and failed about 5 minutes in. Actually it was pretty laggy throughout the TF. We ended up with 30 deaths total.
It was still a blast and thanks to everyone who came out.
Team was:
1: Burnin-Fury
2: Sevenpenny
3: Mute Merc
4: Paragon's Envy
5: Slayer Faith
6: Death Shield
7: Prince Alucard
8: Ultra LeoQuote:after that first death happened we seemed to get a little unorganized and it made it really fun. people a little spread out and we was dropping those roman wanna-be's.
lol i couldnt stop laughing, someone kept karate kicking them in the head and out of nowhere someone would come flying thru my screen. i had a blast
I joked about it to him last night (my traditional, "you went down like a regen scrapper")...but is WP the new Regen? -
I'm thinking that we should cap this at one team since I set this SF up so late...I doubt we will have enough response to field a second team.

Strike Force Stats & Info:- This Strike Force requires a 4-person team to start & I will set it to No Temp Powers (which includes Veteran Reward Powers) & 0 Defeats
- 9 missions (4 talks)
- Badge(s): Arbiter & Master of the Reichman Strike Force
- Merit Reward: 30
- Please note, this SF ends after the final Recluse Talk (not after the Reichsman mission)
- Stick together, listen to instructions & do not be afraid to offer your opinion on strategy!
- Mission One: Clear the ambushes before heading back to take on Ms Liberty.
- Mission Two: Would a stealth/TPer works with leading the hostage? We should pull Numina out of the room to be a little more cautious.
- Mission Three: Talk
- Mission Four: Ouro out or mark the exit on your map to exit after Reichsman spawns. The mission will time-out without anyone inside.
- Mission Five: Stick together & clear until the key drops - doing so around the dig area is best since the door is there. A stealth/TPer would be useful here as well to get to the boss room.
- Mission Six: Talk
- Mission Seven: Talk
- Mission Eight - Part One: While this mission is not so much hard, there are a lot of chances for deaths to occur. First clear out all of the 5th Column & take care of any ambushes that occur when one of the AVs is rescued. Sac the AV, find the next AV, take out the ambush, etc.
- Mission Eight - Part Two: Grab your temp powers & don't be afraid to use them - you can recharge them (all except the Fail Safe Guns which only Stalkers can use). Stalkers gain Max Stealth to enter the two gun rooms to nuke the ambushes, Corruptors/Dominators have attack/holds for the ambushes, Brutes/Veats gains a team End Drain resistance power, MMs can keep Reichsman from phasing.
- Mission Eight - Part Three: With or without a Stalker we will probably exit via the Ouro portals & clear the ambushes from the start of the mission. We may need to Ouro out a 2nd time, but we will play this by ear.
- Mission Nine: Talk (Remember the SF completes after this talk, not after Reichsman is defeated)
- Everything is a work in progress

Can I assume you do not actually mean Master of... since these are speed runs?
I'm thinking I can join (unless I am dead tired):
