Which SF was it?  The washed out reddish brown background makes me think Virgil Tarikoss.

 

Also . . . glorious.

103 deaths in 2:16? Sounds like someone's role was to be bait for vengeance/fallout/mutation, but no one had recall so that person had to keep on rezzing to reposition.

It was, on both accounts.

 

At a certain point it goes from being a train wreck...

 

...to a train wreck witnessed from an RV while having Thanksgiving Dinner with the one uncle with odious political views during a natural disaster. 

 

However, I am proud of the four others who stuck it out out of the eight we started with.

So do eruptions of the Yellowstone super-volcano--something most people don't want to be present for.

Sometimes you join a team a few mins late and miss the bit in chat where the other players mention they're just there to farm their Debt Badges.

Seems like @Snarky should be involved.

I'm curious what difficulty it was set at.

I'd like to know their mix of AT's.

 

Regardless, if it had a few more Defenders, it would have gone better.

True

I know a TF running that long (that is not supposed to take that long) can be a real pain.

However, the ones I’ve been on like that usually turn into pretty funny runs.  Mainly because the people what do stick around, realize it’s a disaster and just try to make the most of it - usually with a lot of humor.

Good attitude and making the best (comedy) out of a bad situation is worth its weight.

[Kaika]

This feels like there's a story here.

 

Like this is the point where it goes from annoying to absolutely glorious, I want to to hear the full tale of this well fought victory.

Related, I feel like I see very few Defenders Red side. I think pretty much the only heroes I have who can go to Red side are for support.

Corrupters are great too. So are MM's. Any support would have helped them, tbh.

It is very rare I see more than 2 for support. I feel that's a fine enough number but still. I can often run into a PuG Blue side that's swimming in support.

And the lead was level 20?  Because I've never seen this one go this bad unless it involved starting at under 20 on a SF that always bases enemy level at 20.

 

Still had to have something to do with level.  All-melee just isn't THAT bad unless a lot of them were under level and sidekicked (ahem.. sorry.. lackeyed) up.

Yeah, shouldn't have invited the Stalker, but I was not the one in charge. 

 

In reality, the Stalker was a star.
