Tanker Tuesdays

[PLVRIZR]

Will do my best to join, but currently at the hospital on weather (code gray) activation...for a never-before-seen blizzard warning in south Louisiana.  We've already gotten 3 inches in Baton Rouge and may get up to nine.  We haven't had measurable snow in 15 years...

[SeraphimKensai]

I'll also try to make it. I have family flying in from up north and will have to get the toddler to sleep. If the snow gets down here in FL, hell might be frozen over, because that's where we get our geothermal heat from.

Hey all,

Just a reminder, we're starting the "challenge set" on Indom tonight Stone/*Weapon.

Secondaries to choose from would be:

Battle Axe

Broad Sword

Dual Blades

Katana

Staff

Titan Weapons

War Mace

So if I'm understanding correctly, tonight (1/21/25) will be in Indom with the challenge set, and not Everlast, as originally scheduled?

No, sigh, I'm time traveling again. We'll be on Everlasting tonight. I'll fix the post.

 

So... to correct myself:

Tonight, Everlasting.

 

1/28/25, Indom with the new Tanker Challenge.

 

Thanks for the catch!

[Ronin_Around]

A busy night on Everlasting with 4 teams running. Many thanks to @Warboss and @MsAligned for running a couple of mission teams and trying to get tanks to Yin TF range. And thanks to @X'terra for running a Yin TF that had a few hiccups to it. Also a 6 tank team saved teh shadow shard and took out Lanaru the Mad on the Faathim TF in 1:34.

Much smashing happened all around.

 

Next Tanker Tuesday on Indom will see the start of the Stone Armor/Melee Weapon challenge that Warboss mentioned earlier.

Start a new tank on Indom, Stone Armor is a must and pick a hand held Melee Weapon as the secondary.

Secondaries to choose from would be:

Battle Axe

Broad Sword

Dual Blades

Katana

Staff

Titan Weapons

War Mace

 

No Claws or Spines

 

Meet up on the wall by the IP gate in Kings Row. 6:00 pm PT 9:00 pm ET

 

On Saturday February 1st, we will be starting Tanker "Tuesday" on the Victory server. This will start at 11:00 am Pacific Time / 2:00 pm Eastern Time. Meeting place will be in Kings Row as always. It is being run on the 1st Saturday of each month going forward, much like our Reunion runs on the 3rd Saturday of each month. This is because we don;t have 6 Tuesdays in a month and feel that each server should get one each month. Please join us for that event if you can.

 

See you in Paragon

[Ronin_Around]

Just a reminder that we are on Indomitable today, at regular start time of 6:00 pm PT / 9:00 pm ET. and we will be starting the Stone Armor/Melee Weapon challenge tonight.

Bring your new (preferably under level 5) Stone Armor Tank with one of the following Secondaries (Battle Axe, Broad Sword, Dual Blades, Katana, Staff Fighting, Titan Weapons or War Mace) to Kings Row to join in. Will likely start the challenge team(s) off with a DFB and then find other mayhem.

We will also set up some other teams for those that aren't interested in doing the challenge, Miss Liberty and the Abandoned Sewer Trial are the weeklies.

[Ronin_Around]

It was a successful start to the Stone Armor/Melee Weapon challenge on Indomitable tonight. There were 13 fresh faced tankers starting the night off that ran dueling DFBs to start.

Many thanks to  @Warboss and @X'Terra for leading those teams. The few non-challenge tankers beat up a whole mess of level 54 Freaks for Unai Kemen, we even got a bit of dumpster diving in.

 

This Saturday, February 1st, we will start the Tanker "Tuesday" tour on the Victory server. 11:00 am PT / 2:00 pm ET. Move a tank over or start a new one there, all levels are welcome. Meet up in Kings Row by the IP gate as usual.

 

Feb 4th we will return to Excel at the usual time. Citadel and the Eden Trial will be the weeklies.

[Warboss]

Thanks for leading the league @Ronin_Around. It was a good time for sure. Lots of fun when you start new Tanks and level en masse'. We pulled many, many, many mass herds in Frostfire and my Stone/Axer went from 1 to 17, so next time on Indom we'll be running Posi 1 and 2.

[Ronin_Around]

A reminder that the 1st edition of Tanker "Tuesday" on Victory will be running tomorrow, February 1st at 11:00 am PT / 2:00 pm ET.

Meet up in Kings Row beside the Independence Port gate, all levels are welcome as long as you are the Tanker AT.

Will form up into various mission teams and/or task forces depending on the turn out. (If we get 18 or more with enough 50s we could maybe even try for a MSR)

 

Hope to see you there.

[Ronin_Around]

We has a successful run for the 1st Tanker Tuesday on Victory. Sixteen tankers in all joined in on the mayhem at some point.

The Abandoned Sewer got purged of Hydra and Nemesis got kicked out of some alternate dimensions.

Next TT on Victory will be March 1st.

 

Feb 4th will be the next TT on Excel. Citadel and Eden will be the WST.

 

See you then.

I was fortunate enough to be on that sewer team and we finished in 22 min.!  Many Rikti and Hydra were vanquished.  Grand fun!

[Ronin_Around]

A busy night and a great turn out on Excelsior tonight. We had five teams running with a pair of dueling Citadel TFs, lead by @MsAligned & @PLVRIZR, an Eden Trial lead by DeadShort (@DrBuzzard)  and a Positron TF run by Armageddon Girl (@GamerFamily). Many thanks to each of them for taking the leads of those team. A few more tanks joined me hopping through the dimensions for Unai Kemen with varying degrees of success. 

 

Thanks to all who come out tonight and for continuing to make Tanker Tuesday a special event each week.

 

Next week, February 11th, we will be on Torchbearer. Meet up in Kings Row as usual 6:00 pm PT / 9:00 pm ET.

Lady Grey and Hess are the WST. It has been a while since we have done an All Tanker LGTF and I'm thinking we should give that a try again. So if we can get a few Incarnated Tankers that are willing to stick with it and give it a go next week, that would be excellent.

 

See you all then.

1 star LGTF?

The "PLV" team had a rip-roaring, 48 min. romp through the Council (at +2), which was remarkable considering we had a team of eight and only half were incarnated.  Also incredible was that we only had only two defeats (well, @wittylibrarian was on our team, so one was a given/expected 😆).  Many levels had and much fun and mayhem ensued, and we finished by "vandalizing" the AV, in less than 60 seconds.

If I'm on, I'd be down for that.

If we can get a full team of incarnate tanks to do it, sure.

Thanks for volunteering to lead the Lady Grey TF next week!

Hahaha. Although I'm reasonably knowledgeable I'm at the beckon call of my 2 year old, so I'm not the best to lead any team as my attendance can be cut short.

 

That said it sounds more fun at 1 star than otherwise, but I get were limited by our turnout (of incarnate tanks).

It was a fun opportunity to dust off the dark/stone challenge tank we built a few months ago.

Two mighty teams of tanks hit Torchbearer tonight for some tanking.  Many thanks to FREEZRBRN aka @PLVRIZR for leading a successful task force for Ernesto Hess, and thanks to those that helped me try and halt the Nemesis Wedding which we sadly ran out of time on, but some tanks still managed to get the Mini Nemesis Horse pet.

The night was finished off beating up some Council and spiders.

 

This Saturday, February 15th,  we are back on Reunion, 9:30 am PT / 12:30 pm ET / 6:30 pm CET. Meet up in Kings Row as always, bring whichever tank you like, no theme on reunion this year.

 

Next Tuesday, February 18th we will be back on Everlasting with Manticore and Sutter as the WST. 6:00 pm PT / 9:00 pm ET in Kings Row.

 

Don't be alarmed if you are not invited to a team or league right away, we are trying a new system to hopefully streamline the start and sorting process. Only inviting Team Leaders to the league to start and they will invite players that want to join their TF or mission teams as that gets decided Please bear with us as we try out this new way.

 

Thanks Tanks!

We were fully eight strong, with half incarnates and half leveling tanks.  Mighty was the word as we vanquished Archon Burkholder (and the rest of the radar stations and council chumps) in 43 minutes...at the +2 setting.

 

And @Maxi gets the award for best verbal taunts.  If you haven't teamed with them, they have 150 rotating target comment macros and are hilarious.

I thought it went great and really like the new format.  I can only imagine how much easier it is for the League Leader, without having to move players around, constantly, prior to launching the individual teams especially on a big night like our usual Excelsior Tuesdays.  It gets my vote, for sure.

Storming the wedding was pretty fun. I think if we had another Tank (only seven of us) we might have done better. We also may need to look at builds which include debuffing in the epics/patron powers. 

[Ronin_Around]

We had a grand night on Everlasting with three teams running. Many thanks to newcomer to TT @MistressMissy for leading the 7 tank Manticore TF. And thanks to @wittylibrarian & @MsAligned for leading the missions team. And thanks to @Warboss for wrangling a Paladin to start the night and for leading a 4 tank Citadel TF to beat up Vandal in about 1:26. Sadly the lens cap was on my camera all night.

 

Next Tuesday, February 25th, Tanker Tuesday will be on Indomitable. The Stone Armor/Weapon challenge will be on round 2 with the Positron part 2 TF or possibly Synapse on deck.

For those not doing the challenge, Market Crash and Moonfire TF are the WST and there will be a mission team of course.

 

See you all then.

Good think the lens cap was on, I was getting bounced by the damned "Freeem" all night long. I don't think it's any secret that I hate that effect... Other than that, I thought it was a good run with some great teammates. We were few but MIGHTY!

 

Looking forward to Posi 2 with the Stone/Weapons Tanks.
