Caleidascope Minmatar Republic Military School	Posted - 2010.05.29 08:07:00 - [1] Edited by: Caleidascope on 29/05/2010 08:08:34 I am going to add my two cents. A three days old player asks for help with storyline mission. Says there are bs in there. I got my L4 Raven (with wrong resists) so I pick up the call. They fleet me, off we go. First room is not too bad. The feel is very L4 mission like. There are some frigs, some bc, some regular bs and a couple of gisti saints. I kill most of them. No problem. Second room. Bad news. I remember 4 Gisti Cherubim and I think there was 4 Saints or Seraphim. 4 arch gisti cruisers. At least one scram frig and at least one web frig. When I warped in first time, I was able to get some distance, but I had second rate ammo (kinetic damage instead of explosive and wrong shield resists). So I did what I can and then warped out. When I came back, I warped and there are the Cherubims 20-30 km away, they started throwing Bane torps, that and other damage brought my shields down in no time. The second time I came back, I was watching the log, with two t1 explosive shield hardeners, I was getting 345 points of damage three times in a row. There was another 200+ of other damage, devastator cruise missiles and other stuff. The player, who invited me, found someone in a Drake. We finished the second room with Drake tanking the room, me in Raven and a rifter. We also had faction bs in second room. Our's was Overlord something, but description said: Domination Saint. I think 8.4 mil isk bounty, faction ammo, implant, some named modules.

Caleidascope Minmatar Republic Military School	Posted - 2010.05.31 01:44:00 - [3] Originally by: Mr Kidd Edited by: Mr Kidd on 31/05/2010 01:14:44 Just got a reply from a GM for my petition of this mission. Keep in mind this is a LEVEL 2 storyline mission. Paraphrase of reply as follows: The mission is working as intended. No issues can be verified. Can we say ashats? Yes ladies and gentlemen, this expansion is not the industry expansion it was made out to be. It is the mission nerf expansion. Not much point playing this game any longer. I am not criticizing you and I am not promoting this particular move by CCP. I have a question though. Why not ask for help in local or in your corp? I mean, they did not do this to all the missions and this is storyline mission which might or may not come up every 16 missions. So. Why not to ask for help?
Caleidascope Minmatar Republic Military School	Posted - 2010.06.01 02:07:00 - [4] Originally by: Geum Ja I received the mission yesterday. I fly an Apocalypse and my friend was in a Megatron. No success.. we decided to run other L4. But I still have this storyline to do so I tried alone 10min ago. Pocket 1 is np, pocket 2....I lost my Apo :( I can't fly a Drake nor a Tengu nor t2 BS. I am interested in seeing a working fit for an Amarr BS if someone has one. I was so happy to get a storyline cause I'm looking to increase faction standing with Ammatar, Amarr and Caldari (got the mission from an Ammatar Consulate agent). If I fail, I will be under -5 with Amarr... :( Just get someone with a drake who knows what they are doing. That is how we were able to do second room. Drake tanked, raven killed, we were done shortly thereafter.

Second room is the big problem. Full agro in second room at warp in pretty much. A slight pause between spawns in second room. Not much. 13 battleships in second room maybe 8-10 frigs (warp scramblers and webs seems to change at warp in)and 4 cruisers. Full agro. Npc ships can change targets and can blow up ships not originally agroed. Npcs blew up a players cruiser while I had full agro. The frigates are on the harder to kill side of frigates. Domination faction battleship in second room have seen 3.75m-10.1m bounty. Just bring 3 battleships and kill them. I guess all those other people are just too proud to ask for help.
Caleidascope Minmatar Republic Military School	Posted - 2010.06.02 01:53:00 - [6] Originally by: Shikabane Hime I have a friend thats going to do it with me using a fully tanked passive drake. Now the problem lies with room 2. How much dps is the initial wave giving out? I heard some ppl here saying shoot the frigs and cruisers first but there are some that say the frigs and cruisers are the triggers. Would'nt that spawn even more battleships? Also what is the real bounty of this mission, some say its close to 200m some say its closer to 40m. My version is the angel cartel version and i got it while doing L4 missions for CN. My strategy for the second room would be the drake goes in to tank everything while we kill the BS. The bounty? About 30 mil isk. The total reward, after selling all the implants and hardwire, 200+ mil isk. I ran the second room with a drake for partner, the drake had some trouble, so let the drake assign targets and you in a ship fitted for offense kill those targets.
Caleidascope Minmatar Republic Military School	Posted - 2010.06.02 04:04:00 - [7] Originally by: thingsnstuff I've gotten this damn mission twice now and unfortunately no one seems interested in helping me run it. The best I can muster is a drake with around 1100 shield tank and 200 dps. I'm guessing that this is too low for the mission, yeah? Sign up to channel HelpMyMission (no s on the end).
Caleidascope Minmatar Republic Military School	Posted - 2010.06.04 05:15:00 - [8] Originally by: Amanda Eidolo Posting to confirm that myself and my corpmates are late to this party and are currently spamming Level 1 missions like there's no tomorrow - can someone tell me whether or not this is still being offered? I've heard a disturbing comment that CCP might have fixed it during downtime last night. Any info? Thanks. I did one a few hours ago.
Caleidascope Minmatar Republic Military School	Posted - 2010.06.04 15:55:00 - [9] Originally by: Stutka Driver How many of the frigs scram/web, and what are their names in room 2? I'm thinking of giving this a solo go in my active armor arty t2 tempest, or should I definately go autos? arch gisti something You are going to die. Can I have your stuff?
Caleidascope Minmatar Republic Military School	Posted - 2010.06.04 18:20:00 - [10] Originally by: Doggy Dogwoofwoof I think onlyu is in gallnte and min space. That is definitely a possibility. I think I have run one in Gal Fed and I know I did three in matari space. Last one was in Pator, that is pretty much the heart of matari space right then and there.

Pray tell, when did you run these? How many storylines did you do before receiving the offers for them? I have also spoken to several people who have received this while running missions for the Amarr. I have only done them for other people. I picked two of these in npc noob corp that I am a member of and two others I picked up in HelpMyMission chat. You can ask in the HelpMyMission chat, I came yesterday looking for help, two people in that channel came over to help. I think you have mentioned the Amarr before. Then my supposition is wrong. Nothing to it.
