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.
-
I have an /ice melee and a /spines built for this now. Not sure which one I'll actually use for the challenge run since both could do well in different ways. Guess I'll find out in September.

We had a fun time on Indomitable tonight with three teams running. Many thanks to @wittylibrarian for starting off the mission team tonight for those not doing the Stone Armor Challenge. For the stoners, we had two teams going with @Warboss leading a speedy Yin TF for most of them and @PLVRIZR leading a Numina to get the TFC accolade for the last few tanks on the challenge that needed it. With that done for most, next month we can do the big push to get these tanks to 50 and/or fill in any gaps in the TFC for those that need them. (I believe @X'terra volunteered to lead a Positron 1 & 2 next month) Next Tanker Tuesday is July 29th,. Since that is the 5th Tuesday in July, we will be running an all-tank Instanced MSR on Everlasting. Bring a 35+ tanker with the Member of Vanguard Badge to ensure maximum exp and v-merits are gained (lowbie tanks will not help out much and maximum damage will be needed). Meet up in Kings Row at 6:00 pm PT / 9:00 pm ET by the IP Gate and we will launch from there. Warboss has also suggested that the next TT challenge set start in September on Excelsior. This will be with the Energy Aura armor set as the required Primary but the Secondary will be your choice. Bring a new Tanker, no higher than level 4, to the wall in Kings Row on September 2nd to join that challenge run. See you all in the CIty

A fun time was had on Reunion today. With 7 Tankers in attendance, we first cleared out 3 Paladins from Kings Row and then ran a +3x8 ITF in a little over an hour (with 2 of our tankers still in their 30s), and to close out the run a few of us ran through Heather Townsend's arc in DA. Lots of levels gained and I think at least one purple recipe dropped, which is nice. Next Tanker Tuesday is July 22nd on Indomitable. The Stone Armor challenge will be running and I think are up to Numina's TF. As well, the WST will be Yin and Faathim. Meet in Kings Row on the wall by the IP Gate. 6:00 pm PT / 9:00 pm ET. July 29 will be the 5th Tuesday of the month. We will be running a IMSR on Everlasting for that event. Bring a level 35+ tank with the Member of Vanguard badge for maximum exp and vanguard merits. See you all in the city.

A good run tonight on Everlasting, we had a few new faces come to join us and had 3 teams running for the night. Many thanks to Disarray aka @VooDooMan for leading the ITF team tonight and to Guy With The Thing aka @Palmtree for taking the reigns on the mission team, The Electric Melee challenge team managed to get a +2 Yin TF done with @PLVRIZR leading and then ran a Citadel TF with @Felix 9 getting the star after a few of us crashed out. All in all, a good night of tanking was had. This Saturday we return to Reunion. Meet up in Kings Row at 9:30 am PT / 12:30 pm ET. Will probably run a Justin Augustine or Imperious TF depending on the turnout. Next Tuesday, July 22nd, we will be on Indomitable at the usual time. A Clamor for the People & The Saga of Lanaru will be the WST. And July 29 will be the 5th Tuesday of the Month. For that special event we will be running a IMSR on Everlasting. Bring a level 35+ tank with the Member of Vanguard badge for maximum exp and v-merit gains. See you all in the city.

It was a busy and fun time as the Tanker Tuesday Tour stop on Torchbearer tonight. There were a lot of new faces and baby tanks that showed up so we needed 5 teams in all to accommodate everyone. Many thanks to @MsAligned and @Warboss for each taking a mission team and putting the lowbies through their paces. There were also enough tanks wanting to bring about The Fall of the Clockwork King that we needed both @Hiro Juan and @X'terra to run Synapse TF teams. As well, there were 7 hearty tanks that joined me in the Shadow Shard to beat up Nemesis minions and take down Ruladak the Weak for Sara Moore on her TF. Much fun, leveling and bozo trashing happened all around Paragon tonight! Next week, July 15th, we will be on Everlasting. Imperious and Justin Augustine will the WST. (Not sure if Warboss wanted to run a theme for the ITF or not) Meet up in Kings Row by the IP gate as usual. 6:00 pm PT / 9:00 pm ET. The Electric Melee Challenge will also be continuing this week. Next up in the run are the Yin and Citadel TFs. May be able to get both done if we are lucky. Saturday July 19th will be our Reunion run. Same place, 9:30 AM PT / 12:30 pm ET See you all in the City
