Task Force starting requirements same as on Live?

[GamerKate]

Are he minimum team size starting requirements for TFs the same now as they were on Live?

 

And does the cavern of Transcendence still need 8 players to simultaneously click 8 glowies?

All TFs require only one player. And the Cavern of Transcendence no longer requires the glowies to be simul-clicked.

 

But if you're thinking of soloing the Cavern of Transcendence trial, know that the spawns are still set for 8-players teams, so you'll need one heck of a tricked-out lowbie.

Soloing the CoT? That would be madness!

 

I’m going to duo it with my gf. XD

Let us know how that goes...

I’m so pleased the TF starting requirements are solo-friendly now (I specify the starting requirements as being solo-friendly, I’m not referring to the difficulty of the TFs themselves). I remember a thread on Live which got quite heated when someone suggested lowering the minimum team size to 1. The usual complaints about ‘CoH is a MULTI player game, go play Cod if you hate grouping!’ etc.

 

Well done Homecoming team :D

Soloing the CoT is entirely possible if you have stealth and some purples.  When I did it, I only had to fight one Ruin Mage and three or four of his friends; the rest of the blinkies were clear of mobs.  You don't have to defeat the GM, just survive it long enough to kill the two minions guarding Sam.  That's what the purples are for.

Oh that’s awesome to hear :D

No more team size minimums for TFs?

This is a SCoRE change, most likely implemented when there was just a secret server with a few hundred people on it, and it could be hard to find enough people to fill a TF.

 

I am glad the change was kept though, because people want to solo/duo TFs and they would find ways to do it anyways so we may as well just give them the option. :)

Or a Force Field Defender that skips most of the mobs, like I did the other day... *whistles innocently*

 

PFF FTW!

You're not allowed to click glowies in Only Affecting Self, though.

[_NOPE_]

It surpresses the PFF for like 15 seconds, so you can walk right up to the glowie, click it, sit there until the PFF is no longer suppressed, then move on with your life.

 

I also became adept a LONG time ago at losing aggro, so that helps too...

[GamerKate]

Is it possible to fight through it slowly? And then Luck Up and ignore the final boss, as Ewa did?

Solo on my stalker, Talshaks arc (to unlock Karsis) took 20:07 and Cavern Trial took 6:23, brought back memories.
