Went through the third Shadow Shard TF yesterday, wrapping it up in 4-odd hours, despite various crashes and Real Life interruptions. Like the last time, it went pretty smoothly if …
… well, fact is, it’s a pretty awful TF. You spend a lot of time jumping (literally or figuratively) around the Shadow Shard. You spend way too much time doing the same “Hunt 50 Servants of Rularuu” and “Fly over and click the glowie,” etc. Very few “missions.” And the final payoff is … meh.
Psi-clone and Amorpha had actually already done it before (we dinged 48 on it), but we pretended RP that we really hadn’t (since the alternative would have been weird). PC only died once, and that was when my machine hung up mid-battle.
Good group — PC/A, plus War Bones, Noelle Frost, MacroLass, Sword of Asgard, and Hang Time — which made it all worthwhile.
(Over in the pic, Psi-clone is wearing his “Silver Age” outfit. Ick. It is now returned to the bit-bucket.)
Given the large numbers of AVs in SS #4, we’re going to hold off on that one until the AV regen stuff is fixed.

When did you guys do this?
Yesterafternoon. From 2-7 or so, MDT.
Ahhh, ok.
So, when are the Plans for #4?
Since I seemed to have missed out on these.
Current plans for #4 are on hold until after the AV-regen patch is on Live. #4 evidently has a string of AV matches, and (per your Knights Night experience) the consensus is that we’d like to actually be able to get through them …
I think I would have liked this TF a lot better if my map of The Chantry didn’t wipe each and every time I left the zone. Grrr. Made finding the locations a lot more difficult, especially since I had TRIED to map out a bit of the zone beforehand.
Still, the Chantry is COO-EL. Hoping that patch hits soon, since I got lazy and left Noelle standing next to the Faat Man.
Whereas I was diligent and flew PC back to Talos, sold of stuff, ran over to Founders, bought a new costume, flew back to Ghost Falcon, SOed a couple of power gaps …
PC loves running with Noel, btw. Her ice immobilizes are perfect for his Psionic Tornado. I love watching the numbers roll off the baddies.
There was something funny with the Chantry maps, by the way.
1. The “paths” on my map where I’d been before were very chunky and pixilated, esp. compared to the new ones I cut.
2. There were a couple of locales I must have visited last time I did this, but were not on the map.
Weird.
I’m just glad I fly. {ducks}
Oh, I fly. Just very very slowly.
put, put, put, putter…
Beats the “Jump – Damn! – Jump – Damn! – Jump – Hell, Noelle, can I have a lift, please?” cycle. 🙂
The Shard is part of the reason I picked up teleport. That and the fact that Sword ports his weapon back to his hand after he “throws” it at the bad guy. (Laser Eyes)
If it matched my build concept and I had a spare power, I’d consider it myself. 🙂 Good synergy with Rez, anyway.
Well, since I dropped the Heal Self, and Resusitate powers from the Med pool to pick up Resilience and Instant Heal..(Yeah it’s suuuuccckkuy now, but it goes off when I take damage, whereas heal self didn’t), I’ll port em back, and you can wake em up.
Funny thing is, I still have 2 respecs to use yet. Almost wish You could bank those on your account, and use them on whoever you have on that server. That would be sweet.
Yes.
On the other hand, I have 18 free tailoring sessions for Psi-clone … who knows what he’ll look like next.
