A good night on Indom tonight. We had one full team of 8. Dude led us through some Tip missions and after a few people needed to drop, 4 of us ran through the Summer Blockbuster. Good times had all around. Next week (May 2) we are back on Excel. 6pm PT / 9pm ET by the Arena in Port Oakes.

Yes, the plan was to run the 20-24 Safeguard (Protect Steel Canyon bank) for the Summon Teammates (Group Recall) temp power and then the Synapse TF. Depending on how it goes we may be able to get the 25-29 Safeguard to Protect Independence Port done as well.

Much mayhem and very much fun tonight. Many levels and a few deaths on a +4x8 ITF tonight, but excellent herding and tanking done by all involved. Looking forwarded to the Dr Q TF being led by X'terra next week 😉

Lots of fun tonight on a +4 Dr Aeon Strike Force with extra AV fights! Took us about 1:40 with 38 defeats and lot of Vet levels gained. Special thanks to @Spaghetti Betty for being our Resident Expert and guiding us through the confusing parts! See you next week on Torch. I'm thinking of running Scirocco's Patron unlock arc there.

Level 1. The only hard requirement is you need to be a Tanker

Looking at the schedule for March, the Dr Aeon SF is the WST for 1st week on Excel. To my knowledge, we have not run that SF during a TT so I am willing to give it a go if there is interest from others. To run this, Tankers will need to have Red Side access (Vigilante or Rogue alignment) and would preferably be incarnated as well. We could try a Hard Mode version if tanks are so inclined. This SF is also the only source for D-Sync Enhancements which is an added bonus. Let me know if anyone wants to try this.

My team only got through Posi1 as well before I had to leave, so Posi2 and Syn can be on the agenda for next month. Everyone should be in range for those.

A great time tonight on the Inaugural Brutal Thursday on Torchbearer! DarkPsyanide lead us through a bank heist, some various villainy and the 3rd arc from Dr Graves. Heroes were thwarted, evil was done and fun was had by all! Try and join in if possible for the next one on Everlasting on February 22nd 9:00 pm ET / 6:00 pm PT. Meet in the arena in Port Oakes. And join the BruteHQ channel for more updates on events. Here was our final showdown with Dollface...

I will do my best to join you tonight. Didn't have a brute on Torch so I will have a new one tonight as well.

Reminder that we are back on Reunion February 17th and we will be starting a new tanker run. Primary must be Bio Armor and the Secondary can be whatever you like. New or very low level tanks please to keep us equal. Meet up at the tram in Kings Row 5:30 pm GMT / 12:30 pm ET / 9:30 am PT

Looking ahead at the 2024 calendar, we will have 4 more 5th Tanker Tuesdays this year. Based on our regular rotation, the schedule would be as follows: April 30 - Torchbearer July 30 - Everlasting October 29 - Indomitable December 31 - Reunion? Excel? New Server? Thoughts on what we can do for those events: The Cathedral of Pain Trial is one of the one things we have not completed with an all-tanker team other than some of the later I-Trials. The only time we tried that was on Indom and we were not successful. Torch might be a better place to try that one again. If we wanted to do an all tank Hamidon raid again, Everlasting in July is probably the best option for that. Indom is always good for an MSR. We could also try running through more of the I-Trials on any of these servers if there is enough interest and Incarnated Tanks to run them. For the New Years Eve TT, there is a lot up in the air about that. Other thoughts and ideas for the 5th Tuesday is always welcomed.

Thank you for leading us tonight, Warboss! It might have been a bit difficult at points but we persevered and defeated the mighty jello blob. And a big thank you to all the Tankers who showed up to take on this unique challenge! Now some hi-lites The Monster Hunt The Blues giving us the blues.. The final push... And the after party! See you all next week!

I can switch to Hami tank with my Inv/Stone if needed and there is a willing subject to lead Yellow Melee. Reminder that we are doing this in the Abyss zone, so the attack prep and flow goes a little differently than in the Hive. Essence of Earth inspirations are fairly cheap right now with the influx of new players. Was able to get a few stacks in the AH for 500 inf a piece just today. Easy enough to grab a bunch and pull as needed from the AH as that is accessible while in the Abyss. I will reiterate that Golden Rings and Taser Dart should be a mandatory pick up for this event and the Nemesis Staff and Black Wand prestige powers should fill out the gaps for need of ranged damage on the Blue Mitos for those that are lacking in that area.

Always a good time on Reunion, and not a problem letting you goof off Boss. We need you all rested up for the big event on the 30th and the chaos that will ensue there! I also registered the TankHQ supergroup on Reunion today and built a quick base, so we finally have a presence on all shards. Not sure who let the ball drop there. For the next run of Tanks there, assuming we are starting them up on the February 17th event, a full team of Bio Armor might just be crazy enough for us to try. In fact i made a Bio/Fire tank there today just in case.

Good times indeed with at least 2 tanks hitting 50 exclusively during TT Reunion events today. For the theme of the next group, I think the Fire & Dark sets in either order would be interesting in a large group and so it get my vote. Paladins receiving a warm welcome A pile of Council being shown the error of their ways See you all at the next event.

Not as many as last week, but still a good looking bunch of tanks tonight And we had extra fun with 2 giant mechs on the Hard Mode ITF See you on Saturday on next week

Yes. Lots and lots of tanks on the wall tonight. We ran a Numina TF at +4 in about 1:02, just shy of our time limit and with a few more deaths than expected. Managed to herd up a big pile of Devoured though.

For something different, the mission team did the Post Incarnate arc from Number Six in RWZ. And we even ran into a (human?) Dr Hamidon before our January event. We then faced down his Avatar... and then three more of his Avatars... The surviving residents of Praetoria were so happy they erected a hologram statue of some tank... See you all next week.

Yes, would definitely be down for that anytime

A good night of tanking on Indomitable tonight. Two team running with Spaghetti Betty leading a +4, no temp Yin TF (thanks for leading SB) and a mission team with me doing some Tips and AVs. Not much in the way of photos today but here we were relaxing after freeing Positron for the Olympian Guard. See you all next week for the MSR back on Indom.

Have to mention that our Numina TF was all Radiation Armor Tanks (5 of us). First time I remember being on a team of all the same primary. Was great fun, and as you could guess, things melted.

Yes, much fun was had tonight on Everlasting.. A Rikti stole my camera, so I didn't get any pics of the raid, but once I recovered it from the Drop Ship, a few of us took a leisurely tour of Kallisti Wharf and ran into some raving Freaks and Captain Castillo and his big red friend. Good times were had by many. See you all next week

Good times tonight as always, Yin Team II took things at a leisurely 35 minute pace, which resulted in many piles of Freaks There a slight mishap while we were taking on a +4 Nightstar, which lead to a wipe but we recovered and left piles robots in our wake... and then we merged with the other team to finish the night with Neuron which lead to more piles of robots... See you all next week on Excel

Yeah, I'm the bad guy 🤣

Love was in the air for this Valentine's Day edition of Tanker Tuesday. So much so that Chimera could not keep his hands off of Critical Misty(ZemX)! See below Thanks to MsA for taking the lead on Hess TF. And thanks to everyone else who made this another great Tanker Tuesday. We are back on Reunion this Saturday at 12:30 ET/9:30 PT. Hope to see you there.
