SHUTTLE No Win Scenario event pleeeeeeeeease :)

I know NWS was removed because it couldn't match the power creep but shuttles haven't suffered power creep to that extreme magnitude and the calendar looks a little empty. Wouldn't it be possible to squeeze a Shuttle NWS event in there soonish? I really, really miss that mission and I'd love to get a chance to pick up the accolades on my AoY toon.

    Sadly there were teams that did complete NWS in shuttles. And the powercreep has gotten much, much worse since that time.

    I'd wager that, with powercreep as it is, there are some players who could solo NWS in a shuttle.

    I was actually part of the team that beat Shuttle NWS the first time it was featured and we only did so on KDF thanks to their aceton assimilators. The second time this event was held, acetons was also available on FED so we were finally able to beat it there too but I promise you it was no walk in the park. I'm also part of the DPS community and in a shuttle there's simply no way to cram in all those consoles, weapons and boff powers needed to get the synergy effects that cause those insane damage values you see in the game. To beat a shuttle NWS today you would still have to rely on knowledge of game mechanics and some serious team co-ordination and you'd have to fight hard for it.

    Agreed. This is a pure community thing. As I recall the last time this was offered we only had 2 or 3 teams finish it. These were straight up teamwork groups. Planning, well thought out builds, players coming together and getting on the podium.

    And yes please bring this back.

    20-man missions that people want to play are rare. There was always a huge increase in activity in the various channels trying to bring teams together for this. It's sad when Cryptic retire events that promote the social aspect of this game. To that I can also add the removal of the hourly bonus rotation. Back then there was always people available for the various missions because everyone had a start time to focus on and knew it would only last an hour. When the rotation was removed the PvE queues died.

    Even the Shuttle Event itself at this time would be nice. Great Mark payout.
