In no means is this meant as a disrespect for this poll.

 

I'm an XP player, so I try to avoid running speed Task Forces.

My favorite Task Force is one that I can accomplish as an XP run (+2 hopefully), preferably, within 30-60 minutes, because these can end up taking heading on 90-120 minutes in some cases.

 

I think more of them need to be broken down the way that Posi was - broken down into 2 segments so that they can fall within an hour on average for completion.

Yin falls into this category .... obviously, Posi 1 and Posi 2.

 

These are the ones that I'm most like to recruit for. I'll join the other ones sometimes, but I rarely recruit for others because they are harder to recruit for because of the time commitment ... once a team is assemble and more likely to be infiltrated by someone that decides it is their right to make it a speed run.

I guess I should honestly add that I simply don't like some of the other Task Forces as much as non-Task Force content at their related levels.

If someone posts a reply quoting me and I don't reply, they may be on ignore.

Some players know that I have them on ignore and are likely to make posts knowing that is the case.

But the fact that I have them on ignore won't stop some of them from bullying and harassing people, because some of them love to do it. There is a group that have banded together to target forum posters they don't like. They think that this behavior is acceptable.

Ignore (in the forums) and /ignore (in-game) are tools to improve your gaming experience. Don't feel bad about using them.

I was going to make this an edit, but I was taking too long posting it.

I'm re-editing and reposting some of this to the suggestions forum.

 

-what was my edit-

 

I just looked at the results.

 

It is what I would expect because Homecoming is end-game heavy.

The highest votes are for end-game (Task Forces that reach to level 50)

 

Yin comes up with a high score, and I think that is largely due to how long it takes to run and how easy it is to get from mission to mission.

The move to the the first 2 missions is short, usually at least one player on the team has TT to get to the third mission, and the 4th mission is at the same contact. And, of course, no hunts.

 

*What would make other Task Forces more fun*

 

I think that hunts should be changed into required X arrest ambushes. That is to say, you can't complete that phase until X arrests are accomplished. I think the system is set-up to send ambushes after the team leader, so if the team leader zones or by a set timer the X arrest haven't been accomplished a new wave of ambushes starts. This continues until that phase is completed. The Leader can then talk to the contact to start the next phase. Some hunts chain, so this could mean wave after wave of various enemy ambushes, which I think would liven up Task Forces.

 

Running from zone to zone also has an impact on favorability for play at this point.

I really used to think it was cool to race around from zone to zone with a team, but, let's face it, players don't like doing that any more and avoid it by using TT as much as possible. 

For this reason, I think every zone needs its own level related taskforce Many of them do.

 

The most obvious easy addition to me is to make Flux  (Frostfire Arc) a Task Force any replace the hunts with another door mission (one of Megan's with stolen weapons?)

 

I think I'll have to duplicate part of this out to Task Force suggestions.... I'm going there now to continue my ideas as they are straying off from talking about the poll.

Nice find, Doc.

 

Don't forget the ...

https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Council/Robots#Council_War_Walker

and

https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Malta_Operatives#Zeus_Class_Titan

 

and I think these fall in to the giant mecha category as well

https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Paladin

https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/The_Clockwork_King

https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Babbage

 

I can't put https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Jurassik in there as he is a bit more Kaiju.

 

But, yeah, the giant robot (Giant Monster) breaking out of the volcano and hunting down all the heroes on Striga Island until it is destroyed would be epic!
