A fun run on Reunion this morning. We had nine tankers show up through the event but managed to fit all onto one team. We started off taking care of 3 Paladins in Kings Row before heading off to PI to do the second half of the "A Hero's Epic" arc for Maria Jenkins for a whole bunch of AV fights with Battle Maiden, Black Swan, Malaise, Mother Mayhem, Infernal, Diabolique, Marauder, Dominatrix & Olympian Guard. A bunch of levels for the couple of low level tanks and good progress on the Dimensional Warder badge for the rest. Next Reunion Tanker Tuesday will be on October 18th. Our next event is Sept 23rd on Indomitable. 6:00 pm PT / 9:00 pm ET. Posi 1&2 is the WST. Stone Armor challenge will be continuing as well. See you in the City

A fun night of tanking on Everlasting tonight, with a lot of new faces standing on the wall. We had four teams running with Great Thanks going to @StarForce Centurion aka Ion Marvel leading a RiktiSpec (TV3) trial for us and @Elltenia DelGanis aka Iron Golem Geralda taking on a mision team. @Oterra overcame her "star allergies" to lead another mission team with E'lla Trik. The Electric Melee challenge continued it's run, first with a Freakspec, then fighting the Clockwork King and then thwarting a Nemesis invasion in PI. Thanks to @MsAligned for leading the team for the challenge. This Saturday we will return to Reunion. 9:30 am PT / 12:30 pm ET. No set plan at this point but if someone needs a specific TF or badge run done, let me know and we will set that up. Next week Tanker Tuesday will be back on Indomitable. 6:00 pm PT / 9:00 pm ET. The new cycle of the WST begins again with Positron 1&2. The stone armor challenge will be in it's final stretch working Tina Mac or MJ arcs I believe. See you all in the City

It was a busy night on Torchbearer for Tanker Tuesday tonight. Good to see lots of new faces and lower level tanks getting involved with the joy of Tankering. There were four teams running tonight, two of which were mission teams, a level 50 one lead by @Agoogala and amid 30s one lead by @Warboss. Many thanks to @echoes aka Echo of BA Brawler for volunteering to lead a Cavern of Transcendence trial and having the guts to attempt it at +2 with tanks capped at level 15. Sadly, I am told this did not succeed and Sam Wincott is still in danger. And thanks to those that joined me in taking on the Dr Kahn TF. We dropped the diff to +2 for the Reichsman fight and ended up finishing in 1:02:32, 32:19 minutes of which was the just fighting Reichsman. Next week, Sept 16th, we will be back on Everlasting. It will be Respec Week for the WST and the Electric Melee challenge will be continuing there. The challenge tanks are up to Numina I think, or will go against the Freaks in the Terra Volta Reactor. Meet up in Kings Row beside the IP Gate. 6:00 pm PT / 9:00 pm ET. Also September 20th we will be on Reunion. 9:30 am PT / 12:30 pm ET. December 30th, TankHQ will run an all Tank Hamidon Raid on Torchbearer. Regular start time but we will be running in the Abyss. Lots of time for you to get an appropriate tank up to 50+. See you all in the City

It was an interesting Tanker Saturday on Victory today. We had 10 tankers that started off cleaning up the Paladin trash in Kings Row. We then split into two teams to take care of tasks for Numina and Katie Hannon. Many thanks to Sol Ring aka @Basilisk for leading the Numina TF. And special thanks to Tilde aka @MsAligned for leading us through a 2 hour "conversation" with Mary MacComber, who we finally defeated with just 3 tankers and then sped through the rest of the TF in 10 minutes. Next Tanker Tuesday is September 9th on Torchbearer. 6:00 pm PT / 9:00 pm ET. Meet in Kings Row on the wall beside the IP Gate. Dr Kahn and Cavern of Transcendence will be the WST. December 30th, TankHQ will run an all Tank Hamidon Raid on Torchbearer. Regular start time but we will be running in the Abyss. Lots of time for you to get an appropriate tank up to 50+.

Big fun and a busy time to start off September for Tanker Tuesday on Excelsior tonight. We had 5 teams running with many thanks to Fate's Captain @ultraamann for running the Numina Taskforce, and to Captain-Crusader - @Patriotic American and Bonnie Balderdash @PapaSlade for running mission teams. PapaS apparently did his best to ensure his teammates got most of their Debt badges completed. There were also two teams running on the Energy Aura Tank challenge with @PLVRIZR and @Warboss leading those teams each through a DFB and then through the Hollows to finish the night beating up Frostfire. I think most got to the 14-15 range so Energy Aura challenge will continue Oct 7th on Excel when Synapse is the WST. If you missed out on the start you have time to get a new Energy Aura tank to 15 to join with us next month. This Saturday, September 6th, we have our run on Victory. Meet up in Kings Row, 10:00 am PT / 1:00 pm ET. Numina and Katie will still be the WST or we can continue with the Dark Astoria arc run. Next Tuesday, September 9th we will be on Torch. Dr Kahn & Cavern of Transcendence will be the WST. Usual place and time for that. December 30th, TankHQ will run an all Tank Hamidon Raid on Torchbearer. Regular start time but we will be running in the Abyss. Lots of time for you to get an appropriate tank up to 50+. See you all in the City

A good night on Tanking on Indomitable today. We had 3 teams running with a Market Crash lead by CyberSmasher aka @Nattuo being run for the 50+ tankers. and @Warboss running a Moonfire TF for the Stone Armor Challenge tankers. The late comers and stragglers joined me running Tina Macintyre missions where we took out an alternate universe Clockwork King, started the war against the Praetorian Clockwork, and beat up a rogue Adamastor. Next week, September 2nd, we will return to Excelsior. 6:00 pm PT / 9:00 pm ET. Meet up in Kings Row by the IP gate. Numina, Katie Hannon and Dr Aeon TFs will be the WST so plan accordingly. This will also be the start of the next challenge set. Energy Aura for the Primary, any secondary. Make a fresh tank, try and keep it to under level 5 for the start. December 30th, TankHQ will run an all Tank Hamidon Raid on Torchbearer. Regular start time but we will be running in the Abyss. Lots of time for you to get an appropriate tank up to 50+. See you all in the CIty

It was a full night of tanking on Everlasting tonight, with many new faces and first timers. Three teams running with thanks to @Oterra for taking the mission team lead and @PLVRIZR for running a regular Manticore TF. The electric melee challenge ran a Manticore as well, thanks to @MsAligned for taking the lead on that. Next week TT will be on Indomitable and will continue with the Stone Armor challenge set. I'm fairly certain most are done the TFC for that so we will start work on the Dimensional Warder badge by running Tina Mac's arc. For other tanks, the Moonfire TF and Market Crash trial are the WST. Meet up in Kings Row at 6:00 pm PT / 9:00 pm ET. - September 2nd on Excel will be the start of the next challenge set. Energy Aura for the Primary, any secondary. Make a fresh tank, no higher than level 4. - December 30th, TankHQ will run an all Tank Hamidon Raid on Torchbearer. Regular start time but we will be running in the Abyss. Lots of time for you to get an appropriate tank up to 50+. See you all in the City

Much fun on Torchbearer tonight for Tanker Tuesday. We had four teams running with @Felix9 leading the mission team while @PLVRIZR and @MsAligned both took out teams to tackle the Ernesto Hess TF. Many thanks to them for doing that. And thanks to the great team that joined me on the Lady Grey Task Force. We finished that in 1:24 if memory serves, with about 9 deaths. It was useful practice for our upcoming event. Speaking of which, December 30th, TankHQ will run an all Tank Hamidon Raid on Torchbearer. Regular start time but we will be running in the Abyss. Lots of time for you to get an appropriate tank up to 50+. More info on this will be posted as we approach the event. This Saturday, August 16th, will be Tanker Tuesday on Reunion. Meet up in KR as always. 9:30 am PT / 12:30 pm ET. Hess and LGTF will still be the WST. Next week, August 19th, TT will be on Everlasting. 6:00 pm PT / 9:00 pm ET. Manticore and Sutter will be the WST. The Electric Melee challenge will still be going. I think that group is at Manti range. September 2nd on Excel will be the start of the next challenge set. Energy Aura for the Primary, any secondary. Make a fresh tank, no higher than level 4. and as a side note, this weekend for SNS on Torch, Warboss will be running an all Fiery Aura Tank team. Launch is around 5:00 pm PT, but the team usually fills fast. Meet up on the wall north of Synaspe in Skyway if interested See you all in the CIty

Tanker Tuesday Special Event - Hamidon Raid
Ronin_Around posted an event in Torchbearer Player-Led Event
untilTanker Tuesday is one of the longest running player-led events in City of Heroes. Come join in with your follow Tankers to enjoy in all Tanker things and run various Task Forces, missions, Giant Monster fights and other special events. Learn about different Tanker tactics and build suggestions while smashing evil doers and protecting the City. Each month with a 5th Tuesday in it we like to do something different for that Tanker Tuesday. This month we will be running a Hamidon Raid on Torchbearer to close out 2025 in style. This will run at our normal Tanker Tuesday time, so it should not interfere with the regular Hami runs on Torch. However, this event will be run in the Abyss zone. All Tankers level 45+ are welcome, but we ask that you bring an Incarnate Level 50 Tanker if you can, preferably with the Lore slot unlocked to ensure this run is successful. Since Tankers will need to fulfill all roles, a number of Tankers will be required to have Hold powers from an Epic pool and/or have purchased the Golden Rings temporary power from the Candy Keeper in the Ski Chalet in Pocket D. If anyone has Warburg Nukes handy, feel free to bring them. The Meet up will be on the dock by the submarine in the Abyss. The Abyss zone can be reached via submarine in the following zones: Independence Port, Peregrine Island, Striga Isle, Port Oakes, Sharkhead Isle, Grandville, and Kallisti Wharf A guide will be posted in Kings Row by the wall to direct tankers to the Hami raid. The Hamidon Raid will start with a Giant Monster hunt at 6:00 pm PT / 9:00 pm ET and we will begin forming up a half hour prior to that. Hope to see you there -
Very busy night on Excel for Tanker Tuesday with 5 full teams running. Many thanks to @MsAligned and @Agoogala for leading the missions teams tonight, and to @PLVRIZR & @Warboss for each leading a Citadel TF, both getting done in 53-54 minutes with PLVs team having the slight edge in the finish. And thanks to those that joined me on the Prisoners of Eden Trial, We had some massive herds for DE and took out the Crystal Titan in about an hour. Next week, August 12th, we are on Torchbearer. Meet up in Kings Row, 6:00 pm PT / 9:00 pm ET. Hess and Lady Grey will be the WST. I will be looking to run the LGTF if there is interest, If you want to join that foolish attempt, make sure to bring a tank that has a hold or two. See you all in the City

Hmmm... good point, we'll have to check with other who do that method regularly and see if there's anything they do. After talking to some more knowledgeable people, it may have been an issue with "Locking" the league prior to launch, which I did to prevent non-tanks from sneaking in. The next one we do we can try with an open league and just boot any interlopers. Sounds good, what timeline are you looking at for this one? As we discussed at SNS, let's aim for December 30th on Torchbearer for this. Should give us enough time to get the proper folk involved and plan it out. We will need at least 32 Incarnated tanks for this to work, but as always, the more the merrier. Will have to determine our Hami tanking strategy as well, I'm fuzzy on how we arranged that on previous ones. Like our prior All Tank Hamidon Raids, we should run this in the Abyss as to not conflict with the regular daily raids on the server.

We had a good run on Victory yesterday. A team of 8 tanks took on 3 Paladins in Kings Row before heading to Talos Island to assist Citadel with his Task Force needs. A couple of new level 50 tanks resulted from that and many Council were defeated. Next Tanker Tuesday will be August 5th on Excel with Citadel and Eden being the WST. Meet up in Kings Row as usual, 6:00 pm PT / 9:00 pm ET.

We can try that for the next one, could also be an issue with locking the league, which I did to restrict non-tankers for sneaking in. That being said, we should probably look at doing a all Tank Hami again soon. Looking at Torch for that, I think.

A grand old time was had on Everlasting tonight, 27 tankers joined forces to kick the Rikti off the planet in a Mothership Raid despite a crash on the initial attempt to launch the attack. Many thanks to those that came out for the event. Special thanks to Rotalas for getting the killshot on U'Kon Gr'ai and to Matteus for getting the drop on the Dropship. The next Tanker Tuesday will be this Saturday, August 2nd on Victory at 10:00 am PT / 1:00 pm ET. Meet up in Kings Row by the IP Gate and we will find some tanking to do there. August 5th, Tanker Tuesday will return to Excel - 6:00 pm PT / 9:00 pm ET. Citadel and Eden will be the WST. See you all in the City.

I'm open to suggestions from those partaking in the challenge for how to start this run. We did DFB for the start of the Stone Armor challenge on Indom and an old school sewer crawl to start the Electric Melee challenge on Ever. Could just get some regular low level contacts and run their missions. The newer Shauna Stockwell-> Eagle Eye arcs unlock at level 7, could be fun to run those with a full team of tanks for a change.
