Tanker Tuesdays

[Ronin_Around]

It was a busy night on Torchbearer for Tanker Tuesday tonight. Good to see lots of new faces and lower level tanks getting involved with the joy of Tankering.

There were four teams running tonight, two of which were mission teams, a level 50 one lead by @Agoogala and amid 30s one lead by @Warboss.

Many thanks to @echoes aka Echo of BA Brawler for volunteering to lead a Cavern of Transcendence trial and having the guts to attempt it at +2 with tanks capped at level 15. Sadly, I am told this did not succeed and Sam Wincott is still in danger.

And thanks to those that joined me in taking on the Dr Kahn TF. We dropped the diff to +2 for the Reichsman fight and ended up finishing in 1:02:32,  32:19 minutes of which was the just fighting Reichsman. 

 

Next week, Sept 16th, we will be back on Everlasting. It will be Respec Week for the WST and the Electric Melee challenge will be continuing there. The challenge tanks are up to Numina I think, or will go against the Freaks in the Terra Volta Reactor. Meet up in Kings Row beside the IP Gate. 6:00 pm PT / 9:00 pm ET.

 

Also September 20th we will be on Reunion. 9:30 am PT / 12:30 pm ET. 

 

December 30th, TankHQ will run an all Tank Hamidon Raid on Torchbearer. Regular start time but we will be running in the Abyss. Lots of time for you to get an appropriate tank up to 50+.

 

See you all in the City

A fun night of tanking on Everlasting tonight, with a lot of new faces standing on the wall. 

We had four teams running with Great Thanks going to @StarForce Centurion aka Ion Marvel leading a RiktiSpec (TV3) trial for us and @Elltenia DelGanis aka Iron Golem Geralda taking on a mision team. @Oterra overcame her "star allergies" to lead another mission team with E'lla Trik.  The Electric Melee challenge continued it's run, first with a Freakspec, then fighting the Clockwork King and then thwarting a Nemesis invasion in PI. Thanks to @MsAligned for leading the team for the challenge.

 

This Saturday we will return to Reunion. 9:30 am PT / 12:30 pm ET. No set plan at this point but if someone needs a specific TF or badge run done, let me know and we will set that up.

 

Next week Tanker Tuesday will be back on Indomitable. 6:00 pm PT / 9:00 pm ET. The new cycle of the WST begins again with Positron 1&2. The stone armor challenge will be in it's final stretch working Tina Mac or MJ arcs I believe.

 

See you all in the City

On Reunion  my Bio Tank (from said challenge) still needs Numina's (ugh) (due to me missing that TT when we ran it). Other than that, I'm good with anything.

A fun run on Reunion this morning. We had nine tankers show up through the event but managed to fit all onto one team. 

We started off taking care of 3 Paladins in Kings Row before heading off to PI to do the second half of the "A Hero's Epic" arc for Maria Jenkins for a whole bunch of AV fights with Battle Maiden, Black Swan, Malaise, Mother Mayhem, Infernal, Diabolique, Marauder, Dominatrix & Olympian Guard. A bunch of levels for the couple of low level tanks and good progress on the Dimensional Warder badge for the rest.

Next  Reunion Tanker Tuesday will be on October 18th.

 

Our next event is Sept 23rd on Indomitable. 6:00 pm PT / 9:00 pm ET. Posi 1&2 is the WST. Stone Armor challenge will be continuing as well.

 

See you in the City

A good night on Indomitable tonight. Had 11 Stone Armor Tanks joining in our challenge tonight and a few Standard tanks that filled out the teams. Many thanks to @PapaSlade for leading the Positron 1 & 2 TFs for the lower level tanks. @Warboss & @X'terra decided to duo a Synapse TF, which they completed in 1:48:28 (with an assist on Babbage from the mission team). And the mission team ran through most of Tina Macintyre's Anti-Matter Collision/Instant Army arc, temporarily chasing off Anti-Matter. Will finish his take down next month.

 

This September apparently has five Tuesdays, which I spaced on and did not have a special event planned. But as a change of pace, we will do a special prime-time run on Victory next week, September 30th. Meet up in Kings Row 6:00 pm PT / 9:00 pm ET. Dr Q and ApeMage will be the WST and of course there will be a high level mission team. This will be a great time to make a new tanker on Victory if you don't have one there, or transfer one over to join in. 

 

- December 30th, TankHQ will run an all Tank Hamidon Raid on Torchbearer. Regular start time but we will be running in the Abyss. Lots of time for you to get an appropriate tank up to 50+.

We had a good time on that run. X was pretty much death free until Babbs kicked her in the face...  But we got it done and X now has her TFC Accolade!

There was a fun night of tanking on Victory tonight for our first prime time run there. We had 3 teams running with @PLVRIZR boldly leading 5 tankers though the Apex and Tin Mage II TFs, reports are they were a little slower than usual but got it done in style regardless. There were also 2 mission teams going with @Warboss leading one to take care of some business for Unai Kemen and with those that came along with me to run Max's Dark Astoria arc. Many levels and face plants happened along the way.

 

This Saturday, October 4th will be the usual Victory run. 10:00 am PT / 1:00 pm ET. Meet up in Kings Row and we will find something interesting to tank. 

Next Tuesday, October 7th, TT returns to Excelsior. 6:00 pm PT / 9:00 pm ET. Synapse and Sara Moore will be the WST. Volunteers to lead teams are always appreciated.

 

- December 30th, TankHQ will run an all Tank Hamidon Raid on Torchbearer. Regular start time but we will be running in the Abyss. Lots of time for you to get an appropriate tank up to 50+.  Tell your friends as the more tanks for this the merrier.

 

See you all in the CIty

Accurate summary (as always), but we had a blast slogging through it (as always).  I didn't catch the time for Apex, but it was about the same as TinMage at 53 minutes.  We thought we were going to start with six, but one was denied entry by LFG (and we all thought the "Alpa slot unlocked" requirement was no more, but the fact that they were only at 85% 'til unlock seems to point to the contrary).  Battle Maiden and Director 11 caused most of the delays and it's a good thing a couple of us were loaded with daggers, because I threw TWO HUNDRED AND NINETY-THREE, in the (not quite) two hours to complete the dual TFs.

 

"Victory" was ours, in the end 😆

Good stuff overall last night. It was fun running my Rad/Claws (I'm a bit unsure of the effectiveness of Claws on a Tank...) and getting to meet some new attendees and welcome back some of the newer players. Good to have you all a long at that event! It was nice hitting one of our normal "Weekend servers" during the week, just to mix things up a bit. And, a bit funny to think we'll be right back there this Saturday. So, if you missed last night, or you made it and are looking for more TT. Make sure to join us this Sat at 10:00 AM PT (see Ronin's post above).

 

See you in game, in the middle of the mobs!

I took a look at this and tested it with someone with only 21% Alpha progress.  It seems it is a LFG Teleport Glitch.

Apex and TinMage II TF don't unlock in the LFG window until you unlock the Alpha slot, however you can walk up to either of them and start the TFs if you are in the zone already. 

Unfortunate for last night, but good knowledge to have going forward.

I think LFG just hates Tanks. Thanks for looking into this Ronin, good to know for future events.
