City of Heroes - Issue 9: Statesman's Taskforce

[mattwo7]

What doesn't the flier get red text?

[mattwo7]

mission 4: The Patron wannabes :P

[mattwo7]

now that I think about it. Did Viridan have anything to do with Indigo, Crimson, or the malta?

[RE4boyo]

Statesman isn't my hero in this game but he's pretty cool

though finally they didn't make a Super hero leader which is Juggernaut like

[RE4boyo]

oh they killed statesmen?? when did that happen?

[Lenya1]

Lord Recluse Strike force.

[RE4boyo]

so no statesman!?!?!?

but Lord Recluse never fights right?!

what the hell? so why should Statesman die?

ohhh man that totally bummed me out now

[Lenya1]

No, RL is not fighting alongside you.

Well, officially you're not killing Statesman ;)

But being imprisioned by Recluse comes close, I guess.

Stateman and Recluse are former friends but hate each other now. Read their story on the CoH website or in Paragonwiki.

[Hermans2057]

really cool video :).

Are there still a lot of people playing city of heroes? Because i'm thinking about starting again.

Thanks

[anewperfectday]

Purely awesome!!!

[PhoenixPsilence]

Ive only done this tf three times but in those three the one that was the quickest was using someone with teleport foe to tp recluse up to the building's ledge and fight on that tiny ledge cause his henchmen dont ususally land there. Love running this tf

[nikiosko]

NICE!!!

[Ubie2000]

FRAPS. I record a demo of all the gameplay and then play it back using Zloth's Demo Launcher and record that. It removes all the UI and let's me play back the demo as many times as I want in case I missed something.

[sypher889]

is it free to use?

[DEATHSPACE2]

wow. just wow. it shows me heroes are nothing but shit faces that want to murder everythingwith an iron fist. thanks for the proof. nw i can get villians to get more moral support. THANKS DUMBASS

[MasterHonorius]

(I know it is destined for heroes to win but I can dream can't I?) :P

[LOLukey]

Awesome vid x)

[MasterHonorius]

Ahh How dare you come to Defeat Recluse...At least I know I defeated Statesman and his poncy little crew... :P

[zilz0000]

Statesman could beet the heck outta Lord Recluse Sure he has the Arachnos but they cant do squat

[MasterHonorius]

Oh really?? Well once I get my Bonespider Archetype up and going I'll show you the true power of Arachnos!

Anyways I don't think I would ever see the day Statesman defeating Recluse ^_^

[zilz0000]

I don't think u have a frickin brain -_-

[wiiman626]

[blue4666]

Tip: Zoom in next time.

[lokalklown]

[lokalklown]

Whats the name of this song again? or the group who does it?

[Ubie2000]

The info is up in the "About This Video" section. It's called Lux Aeterna and it's by Clint Mansell. It's the Two Towers Remix version.

[cluckypower]

what lvl do u have to be to do statemans tf?

[Ubie2000]

45-50 and you can't SK up.

[Ontario813]

[musicale00]

you might not have the right graphics card, or you might not have enough memory. must have at least a 512. and have an up-to-date graphics card.

-Hero->Shade Phantasm. -Villain-> Malicious Musician

[drexlar101]

So how does Recluse compare to States?

I mean, States is one of the easiest in Recluses TF according to general opinion.. How does Recluse compare to his lackeys?

[jakez123456]

music name?

[joeyluxton]

Requim from a Dream

[ViolinistHDL]

i love the music! and city of heroes

[NachtAngel]

wow that was amazing i really wanna go do that tf now =)

the music went really well with the clips too

[red1086544]

how do you get in the states man taskforce

[cacae]

go to independence port and find him.

[Pasteldqueijo]

actually, let me correct that..

the name is lux aeterna, its known as requiem for a dream now by some people because it was used as a soundtrack for a very good movie of same name

[Pasteldqueijo]

i know it as requiem for a dream..

[LordKinoda]

Great vid ! Just wish I could complete the damn task force ! Can't get past the 4 !

[Ubie2000]

Yeah, they can be pretty nasty, but it's possible to pull them one at a time, you just have to pull all the way back to near the end of the bridge leading to the plaza where they're at. Good luck!

[billlay36]

wow, i think the only thing that made this vid kinda good was the song, and by the way, i still didnt catch the name of the song even though you said it about 20 times now.....

[Ubie2000]

Haha, no worries. It's a remix of the theme from Requiem for a Dream. It was used in the trailer for LotR2 and I found it under Lord of the Rings - "The Two Towers (Requiem for a Dream Mix)".

[TheAfroThunder]

where is the damn thing (task force i mean)

[Ubie2000]

Statesman is the contact that gives it out and he's to the West of the Hospital in Independence Port. He's sitting on a Longbow carrier behind a big building.

[sashc777]

nice one :D

[Daytonian45431]

I am not sure which cut of the song this one is, but the name of the song is Lux Aeterna(Eternal Light), originally done by Gyorgy Litegi.

[Daytonian45431]

Sorry: In 1966, Gyorgi Ligeti for 2001 ,a Space Odyssey, originally composed by Richard Straus. The name of the song is Lux Aeterna, not that other name.

[J05HBR0WN]

Kickass video dude. Very nice.

[Maughan91]

Villains shall rule all!!!!!! mwha

[sashc777]

well they got owned >:D

[doodaa1905]

lol great vid i did it as a blaster and the tank kept hitting recluse until he had like 1 hp then i shot him wit a snipe lol the tank was pissed at me and people do u know how many times the poor maker of this vid has said the name if the song?

[TheColoradoan]

So many Total Focuses! lmao, great vid! :D

[cheddarcheese135]

ok what song is that because ive been looking for ir foever, o yeah and CpH ftw!!

[Ubie2000]

It's like the them from Requiem for a Dream. When I found it, it was listed as Lord of the Rings - "The Two Towers (Requiem for a Dream mix)" Hope that helps some!

[DL305]

Lol, at 1:34, Double TF(Total Focus) Ftw! (TF Also stands for Task Force)

[wario22]

got to recluse at the end ...but couldn't even destroy one of the power machines

[OnyxFury]

i did this TF a couple nights ago....friggin awsome.

[OHSdrummer09]

do you have to pay 4 it

[Ubie2000]

Yeah, $15 a month like all the other ones. The kicker is that every expansion, like the one coming out in prolly another 2 months or so, are free. They've only ever had 1 expansion you had to pay for and it was a separate game pretty much. They're a great company.

[justin3455]

deff better than wow the best mmo iev eva play screw that THE BEST GAME IVE EVA PLAYED!

[phoenixforce14]

awesome job =] my team and i already done STF, great TF and challenging

[themuckyducky]

i think its way better than wow cause wow is just too complicated but this is just nice but not to hard yet not to easy. its juuuuuust right

[0wtlaw]

is this game fun? and is it better then WoW

[Ubie2000]

Yeah, it's a lot of fun for me, and I can't answer whether it's better then WoW. CoX has: Huge Customization, Fast Gameplay and PvP, Beautiful Effects and animations, Best Community, Developers that Listen and hang with us, No End Game Content yet, Awesome UI/Chat/Teaming tools and Interface, Looting System that doesn't segregate people. WoW was too slow for me and it's nowhere near as pretty as CoX.

[Tariqsway]

IMO yes its way better than WoW

[Shesho3]

No its not.

[Shesho3]

Jking lol it is

[dancinginfernal]

KICKASS im gon go play my 50 and this now!

[Jas0n313]

"requiem for a dream" is the song. this vid drops the first 2 mins or so of the song and uses the rest. uber epic.

[nobah]

M1A2 Abrams against Arachnos? If I had to bet, Arachnos would get my money. *g*

[Brano100]

This video scares me shitless...... (Avid CoV player and not CoH)

[hotbunns62]

Brilliant video. Personally im waiting for open war between rouges isles and U.S.A. lets how recluse fairs against a few M1 Abrams.:) Hoorah.

[StarEmbrace490210]

i cant wait to get recluses blood scattered all over my knuckles!!!

F/SS/EM Tank is comin for u Recluse!!!

[billmillo]

that is pretty fucking cool adn the music is awsome

[Tariqsway]

Dude i can't get enuf of this, its just too awsome, By the way how did you pass the last mission? My team couldn't do it, couldn't get enuf dmg output, and How do you pull 1 vill at a time on last mish?

[JamaicanPhoenix]

Wait, what?!

"You took out our greatest champion?!"

Did States die?!?!

[Ubie2000]

Well the first clips are from the Recluse's Strikeforce on villain side. The final goal is to defeat Statesman and the rest of the Freedom Phalanx. So yeah, technically after you win that strikeforce, States is, umm gone :P

[Tariqsway]

DAMN!!! My favorite part is when all the guys ran past you with SS and SB at 1:18

[StarEmbrace490210]

How long was that mission?oh and wut lvl do u have to be to do it cus i have a lvl 31 tank and i've been wondering if im high enough to do it...yah i really need some answers..

[Ubie2000]

Total time to do the taskforce the first time around is usually about 3-4 hours. Once you get the hand of it you can do it in 2. It's a lvl 45-50 taskforce, but it helps to be 50 or at least SK'ed up since the AVs are lvl 52-54.

[StarEmbrace490210]

wait, so someone lvl 45-50 can sk me and i can do it?!?!?=D

[HurutaAsami]

No. You have to be 45+ to do it. 44 or lower is a nono :D

[LastForgottenNinja]

wicked

[eff2k]

Flipping sweet vid man! After watching it earlier I had to go own those bastages. And then oddly enough I rolled a Sonic/EM Blaster. But yes the STF is not easy, but neither is it hard.

[theminimonk]

I wish the tf was as easy as this video looks. try it for real and good luck

[o0Grifter0o]

a couple more questions....

1) how do you have SS without the blaze on your feet?

2) probably 1 level per mish right?

3) what was the first mission caked

[InfernoMister]

He may not have of had a kinetic in his team allowing him to move fast :)

[InfernoMister]

He may of had a kinetic in his team allowing him to move faster* (sorry mistake) :)

[Kalaidoskope]

I'd say you're post padding, but I remembered that this isn't the boards. :P

[Ubie2000]

1) The demo playbacks that I recorded sometimes get a little glitchy and in this case the superspeed animation didn't pop up I guess. I never really noticed, heh.

2) It's not that much xp, but it is a good chunk by the end of it. I've heard Recluse gives a TON of xp when you defeat him, but I've never seen it because I've only run the STF with 50s.

3) Yeah, the first mission is real easy. Mission 2 and 3 are pretty easy as well.

[japoi00]

STATEMANS TASKFORCE LOOKS INSANE!

[InfernoMister]

Great Vid its awesome, and the music adds to its greatness ;)

How can i find the song used in this movie? I tried on iTunes but cant get the exact one, any idea how to get it?

[o0Grifter0o]

That is nice,. and i like the part when you did total focus together 5+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++­++

[mkman7432]

omg very good job on the video.

I loved it

I cant wait.. Im working on my build for my 50 ice/ice blaster so Ill be ready for this! :)

and the song went so great with it. 5 stars

[Ubie2000]

It's a remix of the theme from Requiem for a Dream. Look for it under Lord of the Rings - "The Two Towers" (Requiem for a Dream Mix). Hope that helps!

[o0Grifter0o]

AWESOME VID! liken the song, a couple qeustion though...

1) whats the level range?

2) how men times did you level up?

3) Where is Statesment located?

4) did statesmen and the other Phalax members help throughout the mission?

BTW nice toon, what server?

[Ubie2000]

Thanks :)

1) 45-50

2) I was 50 when I ran it, so I didn't level. It is really good for XP though because of all the AVs that you fight and the amount of enemies.

3) He's in Independence Port, behind the big building that's next to the Hospital. He's on a Longbow ship with a helicopter on it and a submarine next to it.

4)Nah, no one helps you.

Justice server.

[Myrkanden]

That soundtrack just makes everything --awesome-- *resubscribes to CoHV*...

[Arturnik]

very nice, is it from test server?

what about recluse? :D

[saintmuse]

Heh, the 3rd mission looks exactly like the villain respec mission....you would think the Devs could come up with something original.

[Ubie2000]

Oh there's a bit of a twist in it, trust me. It wipes most teams when they run into it.

[D1PSET12]

man i cant wait till it goes live im preparing a tank for it now lvl 20 tank frost-zone on justice look me up ppl :)

[hellcrusher1]

Great video! How long did it take to finish the TF?

[Ubie2000]

The very first time, about 3 1/2 hours or so. The next couple of runs took about 2-2/2 hours once the team I was running it with regularly got the hang of it. The last mission still takes a lot of time and coordination and the first part of Mission 4 can slow things down. You'll see what I mean when you do it =D

[sandman415]

Well done! Can't wait to try this when it goes live!

[RVvidgal]

awesome video! thanks for sharing.

[OverlordDoo]

Excellent Job.

[Pseudonyst]

This is full of win and awesome. XD

[Ratepayer]

Superb Video can't wait for Issue 9

[Jas0n313]

epic. I'm doing the stf right now :)

[sublime8992]

Very nice!

[NachoStand]

Yeee I want to try this TF so bad!

[lmerrington]

nicely put together video, the song is the title theme for the new movie Sunshine

[clawhands44]

dang, nice vid

[extremespacebadger]

nice video, statesman tf looks pretty good

what's the music used? and can it be downloaded from anywhere? i recognise it...

[Ubie2000]

It's a mix of the theme song from Requiem for a Dream. I found it as Lord of the Rings - The Two Towers (Requiem for a Dream Mix). Hope that helps.

[YinCOH]

Nice vid. What's that song called?

[Ubie2000]

I added a comment a few days ago replying, dunno why it's not showing, sorry >.< The song is mix of the theme song from Requiem for a Dream. Try looking for it as Lord of the Rings - The Two Towers (Requiem for a Dream Mix). Thanks for the comment =D

[rklamer]

First comment yay

Great vid

[gibbain]

Very nicely put together

[Azurescar]

that was good. well done!
