All good. We are off and running. join us if you can

There was also a small protest of Tanker Tuesday while we were forming up. A Brute and a Scrapper apparently took umbrage that an all-Tanker excluded their ATs...

A good night on Indomitable tonight. Two teams running with ColTech leading the Yin TF and MsA leading the mission team and a late Yin as well. A giant squid was also stopped from terrorizing Independence Port and a few AVs were slapped around. Lens cap was on for most of the night but did get the squid. See you all next week for an All Tank MSR on Excel.

The 3rd Saturday of each month is when we run on Reunion. The next one will be January 21st. We were going to try a fresh run with all level 1 tanks and do a DFB, an Atlas Safeguard for the jetpack and then a Hollows run if possible. Hope you can make it for that,

The Tanker Tuesday Tour runs an event on Reunion the 3rd Saturday of each month at 17:30 UTC. This is an event for Tankers to get together, discuss builds and strategies and smash some bad guys. We run various TFs, AV fights and missions and promote good tanking. All levels are welcome and appropriate content will be found for all who join in on any given day. January 21, 2023 is the next event and we are looking to introduce a new legion of tanks to Reunion by starting with new, level 1 builds and running a DFB, getting some jack packs, and running the Hollow/Frostfire arc. Please join us if you are able.

Looks like the shards are back up now, so we should be able to run the event as normal on Torch tonight in about 90 minutes. Be aware that there may still be networking issues tonight.

Apparently there are some network issues affecting some of servers today (see below). Hopefully they are able to resolve these before the event tonight, but as it stands Torchbearer, where we are due to run is currently down, with Everlasting being the only functioning server at the moment. If need be we could move the event to Everlasting and redo Torch next week but will see if they can get the issue resolved first. Cipher — Today at 3:12 PM @here Our hosting provider is experiencing network outages that are affecting our infrastructure. We are unable to provide an ETA for resolution at this time but will keep you updated if we hear anything. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yes, a good time all around! Always good to see new faces on a TT. But watch what your saying next time there are youngin's on the team, PapaS 😉 Happy Solstice all! The days will be getting longer again! And Happy Holidays to all!

There is no need to make this year any longer than it has already been. Assuming you meant 12/17 there 😉 Had the thought that we should do a new tank run on Reunion soon. There are two option for that that we could do: i) everyone starts with a level 1 build and then a DFB or 2 and then a Hollows Arc run --or-- ii) everyone starts with a new level 1 Gold side build and we run as full a team as we can through one side or the other there and try to make it to 20 to break out of Praetoria in one TT run. This is for future consideration, but if there is enough interest we can do it this month or whenever works.

For the upcoming Cathedral of Pain trial on Indomitable on November 29 there are only a few requirements. i - need to be a Tank ii - need to be level 40+ iii - a Flight power or teleport will be needed (this raid takes place in the Shadow Shard) iv - need a minimum of 12 tanks to start and can hold a maximum of 24 v - the more 50+ with Lore pets we have will make the AV fight quicker The trial is 2 phases, Phase 1 - Destroy the 3 Obelisks - when we zone in we will wait at the starting point for everyone to load in and to resort the teams. Then each team will move to their assigned obelisk and wait in a non-agro spot before we attack. All three obelisks must come down within 35 seconds for the portal to the Cathedral of Pain to open. When the word in given, we will clear out all non-natterling creatures around the obelisk to get the shield to drop. Then attack the obelisks and bring them all down to 10% health and wait. IF we don't this phase can reset and we have to do it all over again. When all are close word will be given to burn all obelisk as the same time, this will open the portal and we will be on to... Phase 2 Once the Cathedral is open we will enter through the portal where you will see the Aspect of Rularuu. He is protected by a shield that only drops when all the other mobs in the room are defeated. When his shield drops, we have 60 seconds to pound on him before the mobs respawn and his shield returns. When we enter this room, we will gather and summon Lore pets and any other pets you may have, clear the mobs then immediately hit Rularuu as soon as his shield drops. It may take 2 or 3 rounds of this for a group of tanks to wear him down. After he is down and we are successful, select the Random Item of Power reward to receive the Pain Killer & Power Liberator badges and a 7 day (real time) buff. We will be forming up in Kings Row at 6pm PT/9pm ET as usual and launching directly from there. Hope to see you tanks there.

Tank Team 3 ran a FreakSpec with 7 tankers in 34 minutes and then a RiktiSpec in 41 with 6. Good times all around and thanks go out to all the new players who joined us this week.

We also got a 1 Star Hardmode ITF in tonight as well. PLVRIZR lead us through that in 1:49 with only 84 defeats. A good night all around.

The Abandoned Sewer Trial is the WST next Tuesday and we will be on Excel so there should be plenty of Tanks around. If you are willing to lead it, I will happily join you.

The Tanker Tuesday runs on Reunion are usually the 3rd Saturday of the month and start at 17:00 UTC (10:00 am PST) Usually it runs into the weekly Hamidon Raid on Reunion that we sometimes join in as well The next one should be on August 20th. Hope to see you there and bring some friends. Any level is welcome, as long as they are a Tank!

A really fun night all around with the RiktiSpec and 3 AV beatdowns (Mother Mayhem, Nightstar & Battle Maiden) These two pics show how most of the night went... for those that opposed us. See you all next week
