Topic: Organising a Task Force for Friday (5/28)

Hello, my mushy friend...

I'm going to organise a group to do a Task Force mission, on Guardian server, for Friday 5/28

I'd like to do the TF from 'Synapse'. The level range you need to join, is level 15 to level 20 Unfortunately, you can't be sidekicked if you're below that range.

TF's usually require anywhere rom 4 to 8 hours of time to complete. They're huge. We also need a minimum of 4 players to attempt one. You cannot do any normal missions while you're doing a Task Force.

That said, who would like to join me, and what times are good for you? Please post your level, archetype/powers, and what times you'd be available.

I'll tell you on Thursday. I don't know how high Delidgamond will be before then. If he is in the level range I will join.

I'm gonna hafta stop playing Urban Ninja, otherwise I'll outlevel the range.

I've heard the level range is 15-20, and I've heard it's 15-21. I'm not sure, but I don't want to take chances, so I'm going to stop levelling and work on my Alt for the next few days.

The reward for doing a TF mission, is a bucketload of EXP (I read on the forums, that someone doing the low-level one, from Positron, went up TWO LEVELS, from 12 to 14, by doing the Task Force), and a Single-Origin Enhancement for your character.

TSMv.3's assault rifle shall be at your service! He's about 3 blocks through 19, so unless I super ultra omfg grind (Like we did yesterday in faultline, that was FRIGGIN AWESOME), I should be okay.

Does everybody in the task force get a SO?

Yup!

In the earlier case (Where the person was level 12, and made level 14) he got a level 17 SO... just high enough for him to use.

but EVERYONE gets an SO, as well as lots of XP / Influence.

Which TF Mission is that?? Faultline? or Terra Volta??

But yeah, Abbi should be around most of that day, and I'm currently about halfway through level 15, so if ya need another Scrapper I'm there.

Positron = 3 people minimum, Steel Canyon
Synapse = 4 people minimum, Skyway City.

I think it's in Faultline, seeing as how it's for 15-20's and I don't think that level 15's can get into TV.

They're not really that hard, and the exp isn't *that* good. They're basically 10 normal missions. Exp/drops isn't any better than doing normal missions, but of course it has the end rewards (now) and a chance to see storylines. It shouldn't take more than 4-5 hours since the bugs are supposedly fixed. My only recommendation is to have someone with a non-targetted AE damage ability incase something gets stuck in wall.

I'd come along, lvl 15 Energy / Electric blaster.
Life... is like a box of chocolates. A cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that nobody ever asks for. Unreturnable, because all you get back is another box of chocolates. You're stuck with this undefinable whipped-mint crap that you mindlessly wolf down when there's nothing else left to eat. Sure, once in a while, there's a peanut butter cup, or an English toffee. But they're gone too fast, the taste is fleeting. So you end up with nothing but broken bits, filled with hardened jelly and teeth-crunching nuts, and if you're desperate enough to eat those, all you've got left is a... is an empty box... filled with useless, brown paper wrappers.

Any time is good for me, since it falls on my weekend. I can structure my sleep times around the mission time.

So, are we supposed to be level 15, or can we still be level 20? Cos I don't get it, or something.

Btw, cloaking device rocks at 20. Assault/devices blasters are too common.. oh well.

Edit: I can always bring my 15 grav controller instead.

Being level 20, you should be able to join.

What I'm worried about is this:

quote:
ยท Task Force Story Arcs are among the most interesting and challenging tasks in City of Heroes. We have adjusted the levels of these arcs so that they will spawn villains at the highest level possible to receive the mission. Positron's Story Arc will now always spawn 15th level villains, for example. The rewards will match the greater risk however. Continuing the Positron example, if your group wants a challenge, they may try the Story Arc starting at 10th level. You will receive rewards as if you were a 15th level character. Here are the levels we consider appropriate for each Task Force:

o Positron: 15
o Synapse: 20
o Sister Psyche: 25
o Bastion: 30
o Manticore: 35
o Numina: 40


If it's positron, then people just below 15 can join and we fight all 15th level bad guys. If we're doing synapse, then we might have a hard time with a few of us being barely 15 and fighting 20th level guys.

Or maybe I'm just confused.

#1 - Level 20 is the max for Synapse's TF.
#2 - The change so that all mobs will be level 20, is on TEST SERVER ONLY.
#3 - You're always confused.
