Steam_InGen Posted May 26, 2019 Posted May 26, 2019 Been putting some thought into this and I plan to run a Dr. Q here real soon, within a week soon. I'll hammer out a date once I get enough people who are on board, have the time, (roughly 2 to 3 hours) and have a character high enough level (40+). As reward, there are a few. This taskforce is 122 merits, you get the portal smasher badge and the right to brag that you were one of the first if not the first group to do this taskforce after relaunch. I don't know about others very much, but I wouldn't mind that right. I run taskforces on the regular, I'm sure some of you will know my name, so you know you got a good leader running it. I leave the rest to you guys, let me know. I'm not going to lie this is a huge time sink, so I figured I'd post a little about the tf to give an outline and somethings that will speed things a long. https://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Dr._Quaterfield_Task_Force This is site I'll be using to keep everyone informed on the missions and how far a long we are. There are a few items that will make this tf a lot smoother and more peeps that have them the better. The list goes as follows: Summon Teammates- https://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Summon_Teammates The p2w vendor has 3 tp powers and the Base tp: Assemble the team Base transporter Mission Transporter The last one I'm not sure many will want to get since it's 10 million inf, but Team Transporter These 4 powers alone will really shorten this tf a lot. Being lvl 50 and IO'd out a little bit will help things along. If anyone has more tips, please feel free to share them. Updates: Roughly 2 to 3 hours. Today, wednesday june 5, 7pm eastern. Willing people: EmperorSteele- DocMidknight- Sothoth- Grey Scale(emp/dark def) MacguyverBond (if high enough level)- Scrapper HoundsTooth- wymorr- Healer! :D Wondering Wizard- (Fire/kin Corr) Ozium- Also if everyone could post their AT that would help. Until the world goes cold, nothing will keep me from this throne, I'll fight.
DocMidknight Posted May 26, 2019 Posted May 26, 2019 I like the Q task force, yes its long but for some crazy reason I always enjoyed it. Depending on the day i may be down for this with either a troller, mm(already 50) or scrapper/brute....whichever one that i have in range in time
Sakai Posted May 27, 2019 Posted May 27, 2019 Not sure if it matters to you or not by Dr Q is the WST starting June 3. That works out to be more merits then I can count on both hands and that's a lot.

That works out to be more merits then I can count on both hands and that's a lot. That helps a lot actually. So let's plan around that.

EmperorSteele Posted May 27, 2019 Posted May 27, 2019 Yeah, I'd be down to run this for double merits. At least then it'd be "worth it" =D EDIT: Bringing a Mind/Kin Controller!
Sothoth Posted May 27, 2019 Posted May 27, 2019 I ran with a guy who said he did Dr Q in about 90 minutes. If everyone has mission teleporter, assemble the team, team transporter, flight and incarnates, it can be done quickly. I'd be happy to run this on Grey Scale Excelsior - Grey Scale 50+ Emp/Dark Def - Thermal Meltdown 50+ Rad/Fire Brute - Old Growth 50+ Plant Troll - Enrico Fermi 50+ Rad Blaster
MacguyverBond Posted May 27, 2019 Posted May 27, 2019 If I can get up there level-wise by then I’d love to revisit Quarterfield’s shenanigans. I’d definitely be on my scrapper.
Impish Kat Posted May 27, 2019 Posted May 27, 2019 There was a group on Justice that used to run Dr. Q to the point they had it down to a science. I remember because I'd always heard how long that tf was, but it went quickly the one time I participated. It's been so long, I don't remember their specific strategies, though team tps definitely figured into it. I'm not sure about the 90 min claim, but I'm pretty sure they were able to cut it down to just 2-3 hrs.
HoundsTooth Posted May 27, 2019 Posted May 27, 2019 I'd love to run it. My highest toon is level 40 and not IO'd. Hope that's okay. I have a weird schedule, but I can make most days work if I plan ahead enough.
wymorr Posted May 27, 2019 Posted May 27, 2019 If you do this late Wednesday or anytime Thursday I'm totally up for it. I'll be past 40 by then and those are my days off. Empathy defender.
Steam_InGen Posted May 28, 2019 Author Posted May 28, 2019 If this tf can take less time, I'm all for it. We just need one more person and we can setup a date. Until the world goes cold, nothing will keep me from this throne, I'll fight.

I know it's possible to do it faster and I don't think team TP was a thing yet, but clever use of Ouro portals, base TP, Pocket D TP, and mission TP plus Assemble the Team make it possible. Helps to be able to steamroll everything once you're in the missions too.

If everyone has mission teleporter, assemble the team, team transporter, flight and incarnates, it can be done quickly. I'd be happy to run this on Grey Scale Solo, took me about 4 hrs ‘cold’ - no prep, no prior knowledge. I dont recommend this, other than in a ‘because it was there’ sort of way. I can see 90 as quite doable, maybe even less with prepositioning and cunning planning.

Steam_InGen Posted May 28, 2019 Author Posted May 28, 2019 what timezone and time you thinking? i'll give it a go I'm personally in Central time, and maybe around 6 or 7 pm? Until the world goes cold, nothing will keep me from this throne, I'll fight.
Steam_InGen Posted May 28, 2019 Author Posted May 28, 2019 Alright that's 8 peeps. Here's the rub so far: Wednesday(june 4) or Thursday(June 5) Around 6 or 7 pm on Excel Anything else? Until the world goes cold, nothing will keep me from this throne, I'll fight.
Ukase Posted May 29, 2019 Posted May 29, 2019 Sounds like your team is full, but I'm always ready for a Dr. Q. 10 million inf for a task like this is inf well spent.
MacguyverBond Posted May 30, 2019 Posted May 30, 2019 I should be good by then for sure, what time zone are we reckoning by?
Steam_InGen Posted May 31, 2019 Author Posted May 31, 2019 7 pm Eastern to make it easy. Until the world goes cold, nothing will keep me from this throne, I'll fight.
Sothoth Posted June 3, 2019 Posted June 3, 2019 Ran Dr Q Saturday. We all had the teleport powers, all incarnates. Fairly casual, we weren't trying to speed run, and we did it in 3.5 hours. Only half the team needs the teleport powers. Excelsior - Grey Scale 50+ Emp/Dark Def - Thermal Meltdown 50+ Rad/Fire Brute - Old Growth 50+ Plant Troll - Enrico Fermi 50+ Rad Blaster
Killerizor Posted June 4, 2019 Posted June 4, 2019 Just finished a run, did it in 1 hour 57 minutes. One team transported, a few individual mission telepoorters, ouroborus portals, and a dps heavy team w/ incarnates to take out mobs quickly. Lucky I got in on it (7-person team as well).
Steam_InGen Posted June 4, 2019 Author Posted June 4, 2019 Ok see you all wednesday june 5 at around 7 pm eastern? Until the world goes cold, nothing will keep me from this throne, I'll fight.
