I will be there, Violet Healer - level 11 empathy/radiation defender.
Silently, the unnamed Senshi drew a small jewel-hilted athame from some form of pocket-space, and lightly ran it across the back of her left hand. Good, she wasn't one of those fools that slashed their palm open whenever one of the various reasons to use blood arose. I did the same with my own vorpal-bladed athame. It was a much plainer affair than my counterpart's, but I bet hers couldn't call up a higher-level demon just by carving a smiley face in the ground.

7 Sentow
8 Abbikat
9 Fizodeth
10 Moogle
11 Tal
12 Ferret
13 Malkav

MAYBE LIST :

Trent
Xyrra
Monica

That's 16 people there, if the 'maybes' show up

Now, some info for all of you. Me, Drys, and Delidgamond, scoped out the mission today, to see what we're up against.

The mission does NOT have a cool end boss, like the others. It's also not against a single group of people - the mission is against three separate factions. Clockworks, Circle of Thorns, and Vahzilok.

I'd also like to say, there's no way in hell I'm going to do this mission again, without some form of movement powers Positron sends you running EVERYWHERE. Having someone with Recall Friend will be ungodly useful.

The TF for us, took around 5 hours... that's with one scrapper, one healing defender, one buffing defender. If we got a little more DPS in the mix, it would have been much quicker...

Oh, and be sure that when you are nearing completion of the TF, that you have a free enhancement spot or two... if your enhancements are full when the TF ends (When the final mission completes), you don't get your Single-Origin Enhancement... Delid found that out for us tonight.

Lanithare has fly and recall friend, so that helps. Level 16/18/20 for him will probably be getting the force field powers he missed, heh. :/

Violet Healer does have the first 2 teleports and fortitude along with the basic heals and rez so that should help.

Teleport Friend is next on my list of skills to get -- I'd really like to get some other skills instead, but Teleport Friend is probably going to be most useful.

Don't worry about teleport. If you aren't going into teleportation (which you aren't), recall friend is a skill you get when all other available skills are useless for you.

The original post was posted on FRIDAY.

Meaning that today's TF was originally planned for Saturday, at 4 EST.

HOWEVER! People couldn't make it, so it was re-planned for SUNDAY, at 8 EST.

I would edit the original post, except, well, I can't. Sadf.

Maybe DRYSART should edit my original post, to say that the task force is for SUNDAY, at 8 PM, EASTERN TIME ZONE?

You can't do that until you get TELEPORT FRIEND.

When you get TP Friend, you can pull their corpse to you, THEN rez them!

or Hunny Bunny 10 Controller. Earth/Storm.

I had Gen also. And she was a blue butt even. But I remade her last night she is now only 7 Defender Empathy/Dark. I remade her because the way she was she could not solo. And her lack of cloathing seemed to be a hurdle for getting groups as well. So now she looks like me IRL. And she has clothing. Sorry guys.

There's a storm front heading this way, tornado watches and all. I'm still going to join the TF, but if I go LD and don't come back within five minutes, it'll be due to a power outage.

I doubt we'll have any tornaodes, but if we do I'll let you know.

Once more into the breach, my friends, once more. We'll close the wall with our dead. In peace, nothing so becomes a man as modesty and humility, but when the blast of war blows in our ears, then imitate the action of the tiger, summon up the blood, disguise fair nature with rage and lend the eye a terrible aspect.

Tonight's task force, sadly, did not go off as well as we had hoped.

We had 15 participants, and it was suggested to me that we split the TF into 3 groups of 5.

Group 1 (Had Drysart, Xyrra, etc), ended up wiping a few times and had to restart the TF with a lower-level leader.

Group 2 (Had myself, Abbi, Moogle, etc) ended up taking too long on our first few missions; I ended up being unable to stay the whole night (I gave myself 5 hours, figuring that it'd go faster with more people... I was wrong).

Group 3 (Delid, Delphi, etc) seemed to be doing the best. They were blasting through missions fast as hell.

The whole experience has taught me 3 things...

#1 - Don't try to arrange groups for other people. Stick with 1 group at a time, because otherwise I may end up unbalancing things.

#2 - Plan these things 30 minutes in advance, it took a while to get everyone sorted and stuff.

#3 - Every group should have a bubble defender. They're just too ungodly useful. The only thing they're not great against, is Vahz... and even then, they help

My group completed it in 5 hours. Mostly because of Delphi having the ability to fly and recall friend. I got a damage SO, one level and 4 bubbles of exp.

I wasn't a bubble defender, but we were doing awesomely (Even after sentow got tornadowned).

Controllers and just basic damage dealing rocks.

It's just cause there was nothing special happening or to look foward too The Skyway one was cool because you know you are going to fight an Archvillian and you want to see what his model is That and the Babbage spawn was neat.

I wanna see the Talos one. Tsoo is going to kick ass At least I hope it's Tsoo...if it's Lost I am going to cry.

I'd love it if someone could help me transfer the 41k inf from lanithare to TSM, though; DOs are expensive.

Task Force #1 was abandoned. We had a false start after wiping out three times (for future reference, have a mid-level character in the party be the leader, not the highest level character), and lost two of our members along the way after that.
