  1. Lots of fun last night as always! Sorry I was a bit tired...I did try to keep the bubbles up thoughout the night though. (I wound up falling asleep in my comp chair again as I was logging off...) :smirk:

    Late August through mid-October are always very busy/stressful at work & it really takes a lot out of me.

    That should not be a problem - just remind me tomorrow night.

    I would assume (of course it is not always wise to assume but...) that the temp power works on the I-16 version of test...however, that does not mean it will work on the I-15 version of live?

    The only issue (or maybe it is not an issue) with setting it for No Temp Powers is this:

    Will the Dimensional Grounding Ray become unavailable? Or is this temp power exempt from the No Temp Powers setting? (such as in the STF/RSF)

  7. Wow, what a run! Who would have thought I could survive so long with Mr E-Lectric? It just shows that with good players/good buffs/good debuffs just about anything can happen!

    We did not get the Master of... last night, falling one death short - my death - I get the epic phail award...

    BaBs got in a lucky hit (or 2) - I thought (incorrectly) that with all of the veat buffs 2 purples would be sufficient...but I was wrong & he made me pay for it.




    Cedit to everyone on the team for a great attempt!
    • Paragon did a superb job keeping the heroes slept while we pulled.
    • Scruffy's SB was able keep everyone recharging at a good clip.
    • Turg did not fall asleep!
    • Veat buffs!
    • Special mention to Major Skipper who stepped aside - we had nine people show up for last night's run
    We really did not run into any problems other than my death & I am very sorry for that.



    Thanks for joining everyone! It was a lot of fun!

    The Team:

    Mr E-Lectric: Elec/Elec Brute
    Ninpir Zombot: Mind/Energy Dominator
    Cryptid: Widow

    Longbow Spy-duh: Widow
    Kin Rothko: Rad/Kin Corruptor
    Muse of Destruction: Crab
    Rex Obscura: Crab

    Thanks again everyone!

    I wasn't saying that you did exclude anyone. I was just pointing out that that is how I run my Master of... runs (whether it is Statesman or Recluse). Heck, if I excluded based on powersets, I wouldn't have been able to get the MoSTF badge on the majority of my heroes.

    --------------------------------

    Also, a reminder that this is scheduled for tonight!

    It looks like I will need to switch off to Mr E-Lectric - my Elec/Elec Brute - things could get very ugly!
  11. Based on the sign-ups so far, support looks lite, so the best choice(s) for me to bring would be:

    Master TimeLord - for the buffs

    or

    Cold Satisfaction - for the debuffs

    I will have both of them in Cim next Friday for easy switching as needed.
  12. I'll bring what ever you want me to run with:

    Heroes:
    Mr E-Man: Inv/SS Tank
    Energy Arc: Eng/Eng Blaster
    Slayer Faith: BS/SR Scrapper
    Mr E-Being: Warshade
    Master TimeLord: Mind/Kin Controller
    IG-2112MD: Emp/Rad Defender
    Flames of Mr E: Fire/Shield Scrapper

    Villains:
    Mr E-Villain: SS/Inv Brute
    Cold Satisfaction: Ice/Dark Corruptor
    Mr E-Lectric: Elec/Elec Brute

    Edit:
    All of the above are 50s. The only non-50 I have in level range is Dark Willow: Grav/Psi Dominator (I think lvl 38).

    I was going to sign up, and then I realized I probably won't be available that day and time.

    So nevermind , maybe next time

    Edit: I like the Freedom Horde banner there
    If you adjust the time to 11pm...we should both be available. :smirk:

    I also like the Freedom Horde banner! Nice job!

    We have a slightly different approach, and it's worked for us in the past. I suppose we could probably be a little bit more careful and use more inspirations at certain times though. I favorited the guide for future use.

    Let us know if you come up with a MoITF or MoRSF guide.

    E, I'm still gonna try to make it. If not, Good Luck to everybody!
    I think our biggest difference in approach has more to do with us not being sticklers for team make-up. We tend to run with whatever ATs/Power Sets that people want to bring.

    I will never exclude someone based on their AT or Power Set choices.
  16. So, we still have a couple spots open for this Master of... attempt, so bumping to generate interest!

    Strike Force 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.
    • If we are in need of a brute, I will switch off to Mr E-Lectric (may the gods help us all…)
    Mr E-Man’s MoLRSF Mission Notes:



    • 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!

    Come & join in the fun and while you are at it show Statesman what you really think of him! Sign-up here or send a global to @Mr E-Man

    Edit: Which means I should probably play her to get her in range of actually dinging 50 on a TF
    How about a Dr Kahn TF? I still need to run him on a few characters...

    Or would you rather go with the traditional lvl 50 dinging Mender Silos TF?

  25. Well, at least one of the teams had an easy time of it last night! Who organized this anyway? :smirk:

    Well, we started off about 20 mins after Team #2 got rolling. We had a hard time filling out the last spot, finally doing so with a /kin corruptor (Scruffy switched out to a Brute at that point - perhaps not the best of moves based on what was to happen later). So we were basically running one mission behind all the way through...until the end at least.

    After we took out the Future Freedom Phalanx our /kin dropped (we hoped it was just a drop, but he never came back). So we were down one person & Paragon lost his perma-Dom status...

    Even so, we continued on taking out the Vindicators & Ms Liberty without much problem.

    Here we are fighting Swan


    Moving on to the last mission is where we felt the loss the most. Paragon tried to keep the Freedom Phalanx slept while we pulled, but without perma-Dom it was difficult:

    First pull brought Numina - as she was going down, States broke free & joined the party. We took down Numina before our ill-advised assault on Statesman...We kept getting him to low health, but coudlnt' finish him off killing plenty of us & a near wipe in the process - we spent a little too much time on him & people were getting sleepy.

    We let the aggro subside & once again started sleeping & pulling - this time to much better effect.

    Trying to remember the order, but I think it was:

    Sister Psyche
    Manticore
    Synapse

    Citadel

    Back Alley Brawler
    Positron

    We then moved in and started attacking Statesman...


    This time, with Paragon in the attack/hold/debuff mix, we were able to easily take him down completing the strike force!

    Stat Box & Team Pic!


    Thanks for joining everyone & thanks for leading Team #2 Super!

    Team #1:

    Mr E-Lectric: Elec/Elec Brute
    Gabriel Keats: Fire/Rad Corruptor
    Volting Warrior: Elec/Energy? Brute
    Longbow Spy-duh: Widow
    Ninpir Zombot: Mind/Eng Dominator
    Krab Salad: Crab
    King Legbah: Thugs/Poison Mastermind

    Well - that concludes the Villain SF/Event Run on Wednesdays (at least for now). I think I am going to take a little break from the strictly Villainous Wednesdays & mix things up a bit.

    I will post up something for next Wednesday probably by tomorrow. Any suggestions/requests, post it here!

    Thanks again for joining everyone!
