We had a fun run for Tanker "Tuesday" on Victory today. Six tankers cleared out the 3 Paladins that were messing up Kings Row before we took on the Crey Corporation for Manticore in his task force. We finished that in about an hour and then @Warboss took us to some alternate dimensions to assist Unai Kemen. Some good dining and Incarnate unlocks happened along the way. Next run on Victory will be on August 2nd. Next Tanker Tuesday will be July 8th on Torchbearer. Meet up in Kings Row 6:00 pm PT / 9:00 pm ET in Kings row. Synapse and Sara Moore will be the WST. The 29th will be the 5th Tuesday in July and we will be running an Instanced MSR on Everlasting for that event. See you all in the city.

A very busy and fun night of tanking on Excelsior today. A lot of new faces and some surprising returns of old friends as well. We had 5 teams running with many thanks to @ultraamann for leading a Dr Q TF, special thanks to @Warboss for getting the league going tonight and leading a speedy ApeMage TF, And thanks to @X'terra and @Agoogala for leading the other two mission teams. This Saturday morning we are back on Victory, 10:00 am PT / 1:00 pm ET. No specific plan for there as of yet. Next week, July 8th, we will return to Torchbearer at the usual time and place. 6:00 pm PT / 9:00 pm ET in Kings row. Synapse and Sara Moore will be the WST. The 29th will be the 5th Tuesday in July and we will be running an Instance MSR on Everlasting for that event. See you all in the city.

Some good tanking got done tonight with 3 teams running. Many thanks to @Ohmazine for starting off the mission team for the regular tanks tonight and to @MisterGrass for keeping it going. There were also 12 tanks doing the Stone Armor Challenge which we split into a team running a Numina TF lead by @X'Terra for those over 35 and a team running a Manticore TF lead by @PapaSlade for those who didn't get it done last month. Next week the cycle starts anew with Tanker Tuesday returning to Excelsior on July 1st. Dr. Q and ApeMage will be the WST. Meet in Kings Row 6:00 pm PT / 9:00 pm ET. July 5th will also be the next TT run on Victory. Same spot just different time - 10:00 am PT / 1:00 pm ET July also has 5 Tuesdays, so for 5th Tuesday in July, the 29th, we will be running an Instanced MSR on Everlasting. See you in the City

I went back and checked, in April we did Yin and some of us got a Citadel in as well that night. Last month, Warboss took the stone tankers on a Manti while I took out a non-stone tank on a mission team for the lowbies. So not sure how many are in Numina range now or not, but we will pencil in a Citadel TF at least and maybe do a level 30 contact arc for the rest. I'm certain I can find an interesting way to get people killed... I mean XP.

Good fun on our Reunion run today. We had two teams running with a few baby tanks trying out new power sets in the mix. Many thanks to @Stormangel for taking the lead on a team and running them through a Moonfire TF. The other team joined me running the Know Thy Enemy Arc from Alexander the Great in Kalisti Wharf. A great time beating up warriors and demons there. Out next run on Reunion will be on July 19th. Next Tanker Tuesday will be June 24 on Indomitable. 6:00 pm PT / 9:00 pm ET. Stone Armor challenge will be going (not sure where we are in that) and Positron 1 & 2 will be the WST if others want that. See you in the city

A busy night on Everlasting today with a lot of new faces and new tankers joining us for Tanker Tuesday. We had 4 full teams running. Many thanks to @Ohmazine and @PapaSlade for taking the mission teams tonight. And thanks to @PLVRIZR for running the FreakSpec team in saving the Terra Volta reactor in under an hour. The Electric Melee Challenge completed a Synapse TF in 1:53:52 with everyone doing their impersonation of Witty at some point. Thanks for taking the reigns there @MsAligned The changes to tanks with today's update definitely made things more difficult, but we will adjust and persevere. Next TT run is this Saturday, June 21 on Reunion. 9:30 am PT / 12:30 pm ET. Will look at running some of the new content in Kalisti Wharf for that. Next Tuesday, June 24, we will be on Indomitable. 6:00 pm PT / 9:00 pm ET. Positron 1 & 2 will be the WST. Stone Armor challenge will be going there, not sure where we are on that though, hopefully someone else has that answer. See you all in the City

Put this together in MIDS for you to get him started or at least point in a direction of where to go. Probably mid-range for price on the black market, save for the ATOs and a few of the PVP IOs. Assumption is you would get him the prestige attacks from START to flesh out the early attack chain until the later attacks are available. ScienceTanker (Invulnerability - Staff Fighting).mbd Hope that helps

A very busy and fun time on Torchbearer tonight. We had 32+ tankers show up throughout the event. Many thanks to @Agoogala and @Warboss for leading mission teams tonight. As well, thanks to @MsAligned for leading the Dr Kahn TF, that team got it done in 48 minutes which is the fastest I've heard of for an all tanker team. And thanks to those that joined me for a +2x8 Cavern of Transcendence Trial, the unending waves of Igneous ambushes caused multiple deaths for us (being only level 15) but also a tremendous amount of fun. Everyone stuck with it and in the end we saved Sam Wincott until the next time he gets kidnapped. The Next Tanker Tuesday will be June 17th on Everlasting. Terra Volta Respec trials will be the Weekly Strike targets. Meet in Kings Row by the IP gate, 6:00 pm PT / 9:00 pm ET. The Electrical Melee challenge will also be continuing next week, with the Synapse TF being on deck for those participating in that. See you next week

Good turn out on Victory today for our weekend TT run. We had 2 full teams that started off cleansing Kings Row of the 3 Paladins there and then we went to Croatoa to stop the War of the Vale. One team then ran a Katie Hannon TF with @MsAligned leading us. while @PapaSlade ran the missions team. Many thanks to both for taking the leads today. Next Tanker Tuesday is June 10th on Torchbearer. Will be running Cavern of Transcendence and hopefully someone will take a Dr Kahn TF as those will be the WST then. Meet up in Kings Row on the wall by the IP gate. 6:00 pm PT / 9:00 pm ET. See you then

This Saturday, June 7th, we will get back on Victory for another Tanker "Tuesday" run. We will be forming up at 10:00 am PT / 1:00 pm ET in Kings Row beside the IP Gate as always. We will likely try for a Katie Hannon TF if we have someone with it unlocked and enough tankers that are over level 30. Depending on turn out, we will need someone to lead a mission team as well. Hope to see you there.

We a good night of Tanking on Excel tonight. Four teams running with a Katie Hannon TF Lead by @MsAligned, a Numina TF lead by @PLVRIZR, a MIssion team doing Tina Macintyre's arc lead by @Warboss and a mostly speedy KM ITF with some great herding being done for those that ran with me. This Saturday, June 7th, we will be on Victory. 10:00 am PT / 1:00 pm ET. Meet up in Kings Row as usual. Katie and Numina will still be the WST or maybe we will continue the DA arcs. Next week , June 10th, we will be on Torchbearer. Dr Kahn and Cavern of Transcendence will be the WST. 6:00 pm PT / 9:00 pm ET in Kings row as always. See you tanks there

I don't know where they finished up at but they should be in the mid 20s now, so hopefully able to do more on the next run.

That is mostly correct. @wittylibrarian ran a Moonfire TF as the WST for the non-challenge tanks and I ran some Unai missions for the 2 tanks that weren't tall enough to join the TFs June 3rd on Excel will be the next TT event. Numina, Katie Hannon and Dr Aeon are the WST then. Also next week will be our weekend run on Victory, Saturday June 7th 10:00 am PT / 1:00 pm ET. Same WST as above.

That's half the fun though. If these were easy then they wouldn't really be a "Challenge" now would it? My recent Ice/Savage melee tank was rough at that point too, but came together quite nicely around 30 and with some IO sets slotted. I think we had 40+ defeats between the 5 of us on my teams run but most of that was on the last mission that PLV had left set at +2x8 🤣

An interesting night of tanking on Everlasting tonight. We had 4 teams running with E'lle Trik (@O'terra) overcoming her star allergies to lead the mission team. And many thanks to Murk Breaker @Krogoth for leading the Manticore TF tonight. We also had two teams of 5 tanks each doing the Electric Melee challenge and running the Positron TFs. @PLVRIZR took over the lead of team 1 since he was the tallest and took us through at +2x8 that we completed in 1:26 with a few team wipes while we tried to kick our own asses. Team 2 lead by @Warboss fared a bit better than us, completing both Posi 1 & 2. Next month, the Electric Melee challenge will move on to Synapse which should be interesting. Next week, May 27th, TT will be back on Indomitable. Meet up in KR at 6:00 pm PT / 9:00 pm ET. Market Crash and Moonfire are the WST. The Stone Armor challenge will be continuing this week with the Manticore TF up next but Moonfire may be an option as well. See you then

Late update but we did have the Tanker "Tuesday" run on Reunion this past weekend. We had 6 tankers take part and we started off beating up 3 Paladins in Kings Row before taking care of some Council and Crey for Citadel and Manticore to help @Warboss get closer to his TFC accolade on his Bio/Psi tank. Next run on Reunion will be June 21, meet up will be at 9:30 am PT / 12:30 pm ET / 5:30 pm CET for our European friends. This week, May 20th, Tanker Tuesday is on Everlasting and the Electric Melee challenge will continue on with the Positron Task forces as most should be in that range. If you missed out on the first run last week you have a day to get a new free choice Primary/Electric Melee tanker up to at least level 8 to join in on the TFs this week. For those not doing the challenge, Manticore and Sutter are the weekly strike targets and there should be a mission team as well. Meet us in Kings Row at 6:00 pm PT / 9:00 pm ET I noticed that I have the "Find missing fortune teller" mission on my EM tank, so the challenge team (or one of them) will be running that for the Spelunker badge needed for the Atlas Medallion Accolade before we start on Positron.

Yes, Everlasting is the home for the Electric Melee challenge. Thanks for the reminder. I think most would be in the 10-15 level range so, Posi 1 & 2 could very well be doable.

A fun and busy night with a lot of new faces on Torchbearer tonight. We had 2 full mission teams running and 2 teams running the Ernesto Hess TF. Many thanks to @Indestructaboy and @X'Terra for leading the mission teams and thanks to @MsAligned leading the other Hess TF. We had some great herding done on my Hess team, and lots of mechmen getting thrown into the lava This Saturday, May 17th we are on Reunion, with Hess and LGTF still the WST. Meet up in Kings Row at 9:30 am PT / 12:30 pm ET. Next Tuesday, May 20th we are on Everlasting at the usual time. Manticore and Sutter will be the WST. See you then

Tankers of all levels are welcome from level 1 to 50+. Bring whatever Tanker you want to play to Kings Row beside the Independence Port gate and stand on the wall with all the other tanks. Teams will be sorted out and you will be fit into a suitable TF or mission team. The event starts up @ 6:00 pm PT / 9:00 pm ET but get that a bit before hand to make things easier for the team sorting.

It was a fun run on Victory yesterday. We had 2 teams running with many thanks to @MsAligned for taking the mission team while five other tanks joined me in taking on the Hydra in the Abandoned Sewer Trial. As Archiviste noted above, it took a while but it did get done eventually. We did start the day clearing out the 3 paladins from Kings Row and rounded the day off with some tip missions. Next run on Victory will be June 7th. The next Tanker Tuesday event is May 6th on Excelsior. 6:00 pm PT / 9:00 pm ET. Citadel and Eden are the WST but any content tanks want to lead and run is appreciated.

I forgot to mention that this Saturday, May 3rd, we will be doing our weekend run on Victory. 10:00 am PT / 1:00 pm ET. Meet up in Kings Row. Will look at doing an Abandoned Sewer Trial (Level 38+) or a Ms Liberty TF (45+) depending on the levels of who shows up, since they are the WST. Or maybe a Drowning in Blood Trial, which is 15+ and not something we have regularly run with tanks.

There was an excellent turnout tonight for the All-Tank Instanced Mothership Raid on Torchbearer. A total of 42 Tankers joined in for a very fun evening of kicking the Rikti off the planet. Special thanks go to @Anyad for promoting and advertising this event through out the week and to Mistirred Tea - (@Ohmazine) for providing the dropship kill shot prize, won by Tinglie (@Em Serious), who donated the prize to lotto for baby tanks, unfortunately I'm not sure who actually won it. Much fun had and around 1600 V-merits were reported to be gained tonight Next week Tanker Tuesday will return to Excel. 6:00 pm PT / 9:00 pm ET. Meet in Kings Row on the wall beside the IP Gate. Citadel and Eden Trial will be the WST. Volunteers to lead teams are always appreciated. Good looking bunch of tanks there Rikti didn't last long in the bowl... Take care tanks

Our latest run with the Stone Armor challenge on Indomitable went well with 14 stoners doing dueling Yin TFs. Team 2 lead by @Warboss won that race and finished in around 40 minutes while my team took about 50. Both teams lost a few and then ran Citadel TFs. Team 1 won that one finishing in 55 minutes. Many thanks to @wittylibrarian for running the Mission team tonight. Next week, April 29th will be our 5th Tuesday of the month and we will be doing an Instanced Mothership Raid on Torchbearer. All Tankers level 10 and up are welcome, but a fair number of Incarnate Level 50 Tankers will be required for us to be successful. Please ensure you have the Member of Vanguard badge prior to the event so that you can get Vanguard Merits during the raid. It is no longer required to enter the Instance though. Remember to get a jet pack or some kind of flight power for the Dropship hunt after the raid. Temporary Hold powers and Envenomed Daggers are an asset as well. Since April is Ape Awareness month, Ape themed Tanks are highly encouraged (if you have them) but are not a requirement. Meet up in Kings Row, on the wall beside the Independence Port gate. The MSR will launch at 6:00 pm PT / 9:00 pm ET and we will begin forming up a half hour prior to that.

A great run on Reunion today. We had 8 amazing tankers show up to first cleanse Kings Row of the scourge of Paladins infesting the place. We then powered through an Imperious TF with much leveling going on and Romans being trounced. And to finish off we beat up a few AVs (Black Swan, Malaise & Mother) to finish the day. Good times all around. Next Reunion Tanker Tuesday run will be May 17th. 9:30 am PT / 12:30 pm ET / 6:30 PM CET
