OK Sportsfans....
Here is where we stand on the STF....
ROCK- The LAW- HARD PLACE.
We were well on our way to completing the TF on Fri. evening. We decided as a group, that we should all just log off and pick it up from that point on Sat. evening. We were in the room fighting AEON, we had thinned out the minions and were damn near winning the whole shootong match. It just got to be too late.
Sat. evening when I logged on I went directly into the mission. Upon entering I found we were going to have to find the SEC CHIEF again and defeat the 4 AV's. Before anyone else logged on I was able to go in to the killing zone and take out some baddies around the back side of the buildings, giving us a clear path toward the SEC CHIEF. At that point I was joined by Moon and Urban Myth. We thinned out a few more mobs by employing a ambush strategy. It worked well, I sniped a minion...the mob would come running, I would retreat...and when they came around the corner chasing me, Moon and Urban were there waiting BEHIND them. It worked GREAT!! I would say after our 3rd mob, Doc joined the fray. With his healing, we were able to take out quite a few more mobs in a more direct approach. Moon would try to TP the SEC CHIEF and the whole mob would come. Well needless to say, we sent them all off for their dirt nap AND got the key. So, 4 people can do that part if a little planning is done beforehand. Then we WAITED at the sub for the rest of our team. Grim was next to appear. The 5 of us decided we would try our hand at the AV's. We entered the building and encountered the 1st AV (Silver Mantis?). There was a quick death (mine) and I think someone else was face down. We regrouped and started again. We defeated her minions and started tee-ing off on her. We had her down to about 1/4 health but were unable to get the win. No more of us died, we just couldn't get past her MoG. We would get her health down....and BAM...it would be back at 1/2. We tried for a good bit to defeat her, it just was not going to happen. We stepped outside and decided to wait for the rest of our team. After 15-20 minutes, we all agreed that no-one else was coming and that we would disband our task force. It was midnight (est) or a little after when this decision was made.
So...it is without question, we could have beat the TF this time if all were present. I am placing no blame on anyone, I am just stating a fact. You can't make it, you can't make, such is life, no big deal.
Here it is...the TF CANNOT be finished without a 'troller. I think, even if TK was able to get on Sat. evening, we would not have been able to finish. The 'TROLLER is needed, WITHOUT QUESTION or DISPUTE. If say, we had started with Jamie on the TF and she were able to continue Sat. evening and we had the rest of the team, I would be writing about a LAW TF VICTORY!!
I am not giving up on this thing....I will be on a team that finishs it!! I hope it a LAW team. I think we have seen that when we work as a team, it is damn hard to beat us. Case in point, we needed 88 vines. We conceived a plan and executed it. Once we started chopping down the vines, we did it so fast they did not have time to RESPAWN. Yes there were a couple of deaths, but mostly because we got too close to the vines while wiping out the CoT.
I would like to thank every member of the TF -
Coyote Moon
Doc Howlin' Mad
Urban Myth
Judge Grim
Tiger Khan
Darmstadt
I think when/if we do it again, we will be better prepared. We know how to get the job done!!
Thank you all again,
Pete
