Tanker Tuesdays

[Warboss]

Good fun on Indom last night. I had a great team (6 of us running at 8 +0). I think my toon ended up at level 28, and I noticed a lot of level dings as we ran along. It was good to see two teams worth of challenge builds as well as some new faces! Welcome to all those new to TT! So... I'm thinking we're in line for a Yin TF next month here on Indom (Challenge Tanks). 

 

I can run an ApeMage next time if you need me to, and isn't @wittylibrarian our default Dr. Q lead? 

 

See you all in game (or on a Tuesday)!

And as per Warboss earlier in the thread, April 15th will be the start of the Electric Melee tanker challenge on Everlasting.  Any Primary power set can be used, but your Secondary power set must be Electrical Melee. You have three weeks, so start thinking about your new tank soon.

 

See you all next week.

 

Just as a matter of clarification, is there a level max for possibly moving an existing Elec Melee tank over to Everlasting for this, or is the idea of the challenge to only run brand new and shiny level 1 babytanks with 0 XP (or reasonably close to it)?

What level is the Tank you are thinking of moving over?

Generally the challenge is to level them up as a group during TT as much as possible.

If you wanted to run a higher level tank with the rest, though you would be exemplared down to the team leads level, so it wouldn't really break the challenge but would give you a leg up on the rest of your teammates.

High enough to give more of a leg up than would be fair or fun. A babytank it is!

A big night on Excelsior tonight that started off being disrupted by the Mapserver event.  After that we ended up with 5 teams running.

Many thanks to @ColTech and @Albedo for running the mission teams tonight. I think they got a Rikti invasion as well in there along the way.

@PLVRIZR & @Warboss had dueling ApeMage TFs going tonight as a fair number of folk wanted in on that.

And a big thanks to those that joined me on the Dr Q TF tonight. We managed to finish that in 2:35:37 which was not terrible for a bunch of tanks.

 

This Saturday, April 5th is our monthly stop on Victory, 10:00 am PT / 1:00 pm ET. Meet in Kings Row as always. No set plan but probably not DrQ.

Next week TT will be on Torch with Synapse and Sara Moore being the WST. 6:00 pm PT / 9:00 pm ET. On the wall in Kings Row.

As always, if there is something that you would like to run on any TT, please let me know. Volunteers to lead teams are always appreciated as well.

 

@wittylibrarian our thoughts are with you.

Prayers to Witty and family, for sure.  I lost my Dad on Christmas day 2020, so I can completely relate....

 

Having said that, we had a great night with five tanks on the PLV team and Tin/Pex.  Completed both in about 70 minutes (didn't record the times for each), but much mayhem, tanking and levels were had.  Didn't quite get to my goal of VL550 on NUT, but got closer!  See ya'll next week.

Had a good run on ApeMage, with a great team. AVs took us bit of time for reason, but other than that no complaints (we probably could have used pets more frequently than we did). But overall great herds and lots of fun. And, we got a few new players, so welcome to the fun! I was kinda' bummed as PLV was our back up ApeMage leader and up until the need for him to lead, I planned on kicking back and letting him do all the heavy lifting (which is my usual plan when teaming with him ;) I can't hog all the Tanker glory). As always, we hope to see the new attendees and returning Tankers at our upcoming events!

Here for you, bro, always!  Witty's situation should remind all of us how fleeting life is, but also how blessed we are to have an on line family to share the fun (and escape) and comradery of this game.  I appreciate the @Warboss's and @Ronin_Around's, that are keeping this community going.  Humbled.and honored to be a small part of that.

We need a Tank emoji....
