On this Festivus night, two teams of tankers gathered to air grievances and trash some bozos. The night started off with @Warboss getting into an argument with a Winter Lord that ruined a present he found. After he was melted, we split into two teams, one of which handled some issues for Tina Mac and Unai Kemen under the watchful eye of @Xterra. And the Stone Armor challenge tanks finished off the TFC for a few who missed that by running a Numina TF in a little over an hour. after which the night was finished off with some festive nazi punching. Some good times and cheer was shared by all. Next Tuesday. December 30th, will be the All Tanker Hamidon Raid on Torchbearer. Usual start time of 6:00 pm PT / 9:00 pm ET. League will be forming up in the Abyss. The Abyss can be accessed by taking the Smuggler's Submarine located in Independence Port, Peregrine Island and Kallisti Wharf. Tanks will need to be 45+ but level 50 and incarnated is preferable. Tanks with a hold power or two will be helpful for dealing with the Green Mitos, or if you can pick up the Taser Dart prestige power from a START vendor and a Golden Rings temp power from the winter event that would help as well. This will be a a two or three bloom run at minimum. so be prepared for that. It will not be a quick blast like some of the nightly Hamidon runs. If you have Warburg nukes, that is great, please let the raid leaders know in advance, but please DO NOT use them until instructed by the raid leader. Further details about this event will be posted on the weekend. Have a safe and happy holiday, tankers! See you all in the City

Was a fun time on Reunion today, we started off with 6 tankers taking on 2 Winter Lords and a Paladin on top of a stack of shipping containers. After that we headed off to Dark Astoria to handle the problem of Diabolique for Praetor Duncan. After being told that things were too dark there, we moved on Portal Corps and beat up a few AVs for Maria Jenkins, namely Black Swan, Malaise and Battle Maiden. Next Tanker Tuesday is December 23rd back on Indomitable. The Stone Armor Challenge will be looking to wrap things up and Positron TF 1&2 will be the WST. December 30th, TankHQ will run an all Tank Hamidon Raid on Torchbearer. Regular start time 6:00 pm PT/9:00 pm ET. We will be running in the Abyss. Time to make sure your preferred tank for that is ready. Our team leads for the raid are mostly set. We will require a number of tanks with a few hold powers for the green mitos. Additional temp powers like Golden Rings and Taser Dart are also helpful. If a few tankers want to bring Warburg nukes as well, that would be a bonus. See you all in the City

Lots of Tanking fun tonight on Everlasting. Things started off early when Nemesis decided to invade Kings Row while the tankers were gathering. Big mistake! After we wiped the streets with the Nemesis Army, @Agoogala opened a suspicious package and unleashed a Winter Lord upon the tankers. After making sno-comes out of him a Paladin showed up and another Winter Lord arrived. The same, predictable result occurred for both of those GMs. When the event proper got underway we had 3 teams running. Many thanks to Neutronic Burn (@Cinder Decay) for taking the lead of the mission team, and to the Voltaic Dreadnought aka @PLVRIZR for leading a team on a FreakSpec (Terra Volta 2 trial). The tankers on the Electric Melee challenge joined me in some tasks for Tina Macintyre which lead us to face off with AntiMatter for the first time before he ran away like a coward. We'll finish him off proper next time we meet. This Saturday, December 20th, we will return to Reunion for a Euro tanking run. 9:30 am PT / 12:30 pm ET / 5:30 CET. Respecs will still be the WST. Next Tuesday, December 23rd, we will be back on Indomitable. The Stone Armor Challenge will be looking to wrap things up and Positron TF 1&2 will be the WST. The week after that, December 30th, TankHQ will run an all Tank Hamidon Raid on Torchbearer. Regular start time 6:00 pm PT/9:00 pm ET. We will be running in the Abyss. Time to make sure your preferred tank for that is ready. Our team leads for the raid are mostly set. We will require a number of tanks with a few hold powers for the green mitos. Additional temp powers like Golden Rings and Taser Dart are also helpful. If a few tankers want to bring Warburg nukes as well, that would be a bonus. Things are busy for people these days due to the season, so if you have to miss some tanking fun it is understandable. If i do not see you at the next two events, have a great holiday season and enjoy yourself with whatever trouble you get up to. See you all in the City

It was a good night of Tanking on Torchbearer tonight. We had 3 teams running with a big thank you to @JakllynHyde for volunteering and leading some of the mid-level tankers through a Manticore TF in a reported 1:11;49, and many thanks to @Agoogala for running the mission team. A bunch of the high level tanks joined me on a Zoe Langston TF, with helpful pointers being provided to the team by @Anyad, We ran it as a regular run, not a Starred run, so we missed out on some of the extras that would have contributed to the Master of badge, Once more people get familiar with the TF I have no doubt we could easily pull off an all tanker Master of run of the TF though. Next week we will be on Everlasting on Tuesday Dec 16th (6:00 pm PT / 9:00 pm ET) and on Reunion on Saturday Dec 20th (9:30 am PT / 12:30 pm ET 5:30 pm CET). It will be Respec week, so expect at least a few team heading into Terra Volta. On Everlasting, the Electric Melee challenge will continue on with the Tina Macintyre arc, and looking to get through to Antimatter. There is no challenge running or set plan is in place fro Reunion at this time, suggestions for either of those on Reunion are welcome. And it is getting closer, December 30th, TankHQ will run an all Tank Hamidon Raid on Torchbearer. Regular start time 6:00 pm PT/9:00 pm ET. We will be running in the Abyss. Time to make sure your preferred tank for that is ready. Our team leads for the raid are mostly set, and we are still searching for the appropriate victim... err Main Tank for Hamidon. A Dark/Dark tank with T4s would be an excellent candidate. Speak up if you have one or feel you have an alternate that is tough enough for this task. We will require a number of tanks with a few hold powers for the green mitos. Additional temp powers like Golden Rings and Taser Dart are also helpful. If a few tankers want to bring Warburg nukes as well, that would be a bonus. For a specialized raid such as this, it is important for all participants to know that is will not be fast or uneventful like some of the regular server runs. Things may go wrong, you may die a lot (even more than Witty normally does), chances of a failure are non-zero. Everyone will need to listen to instructions given by the Raid Leader and follow the designated strike team leads. Hamidon has been defeated many a time by many a hero, doing it with just a bunch of tankers is a different kind of feat. Be prepared and willing to do whatever is needed and we will be successful in this attempt. See you all in the City

A small but fun run today on Victory. We had 8 tanks that gathered in Kings Row to take out a pair of Winter Lords and three Paladins before heading out to Cimerora to run the Sister Solaris DA arc at +5x8. Lot of levels are good rewards received. We then finished off with a couple of Unai missions and another Winter Lord in PI. Next run on Victory will be January 3rd. Next TT is December 9th on Torchbearer. 6:00 pm PT/9:00 pm ET. Meet in Kings Row. Cavern Trial and Dr Kahn 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. Time to make sure your preferred tank for that is ready. We will require a number of tanks with a few hold powers for the green mitos. Additional temp powers like Golden Rings and Taser Dart are also helpful. If a few tankers want to bring Warburg nukes as well, that would be a bonus. See you all in the City

Missed last night due to IRL conflicts, apologies for that, glad to see @Warboss was there to herd the cats in my absence. I wasn't aware that they had changed the Lord Winter's Realm trial that much, can give that another go on one of the other TT runs. The breakdown from @ZemX should help for future reference. One note on the Vanguard HVAS, once summoned, they will persist until you leave the zone or they are destroyed, so if a few tanks that are focused on LW pop those at the beginning, along with a barrier or rebirth or two, they should stick for the entire fight. This Saturday is the regular Victory TT run. Meet up in KR, 10:00 am PT / 1:00 pm ET

Running through the MJ arc is always a good option for a mission team to do, since any level can join in and most people won't object to crossing a few AVs off the list. The mission team lead can always set the difficulty and inform the team of the pace they want to set. If that was something you wanted to run this week, will mark you down as a mission team lead for the event tonight then.

IT was a small but hardy turn out for Tanker Tuesday on Indomitable with 2 teams running. Many thanks to @Xterra for leading the mission team and getting some levels for the new low level tanks. (heard rumours that she and Witty had a dueling defeat challenge going on). And thanks to @PLVRIZR for leading the Stone Armor challenge tanks through the brand new "The Golden Rule" TF in Kallisti Wharf. It was an experience for sure, which we finished with 62 defeats in 1:44 along with getting one of the Nemesis clones bugged and needing a GM to get them unstuck. Was an interesting run though and good to do something new on the first day. Next week Tanker Tuesday will be on Excel on December 2nd 6:00 pm PT/9:00 pm ET and on Victory on Saturday December 6th, 10:00 am PT/ 1:00 pm ET. Numina and Katie Hannon will be the WST.

A good night for tanking on Everlasting tonight with three teams running. Many thanks to @wittylibrarian for leading the mission team and to @PapaSlade for leading the Manticore TF.

Next month that challenge will move on to Tina Mac/Maria Jenkins arc to fight Praetorian AVs. The next Tanker Tuesday will be Nov 25th on Indomitable. 6:00 pm PT / 9:00 pm ET. Meet up in Kings Row.

It was a fun night on Excelsior to start off the new month of Tanking. The night started off with a surprise visit from a Kronos Titan deciding to invade Kings Row right near a bunch of tankers.

A small but mighty turn out for Tanker Tuesday on Reunion today. We started off with ridding Kings Row of three roaming Paladins and a rouge Eochai. Then six intrepid tankers ventured to Cimerora to assist Imperious in purging the past of 5th Column time travelers, Nictus and local Cimeroran Traitors.
