Sigh. Okay, Prism got an invite to the Terra Volta TF last night and I figured 'why not'...
So. We get (rather quickly, it's short) to the last mission and it turns out the end can be ninja'ed. Since Prism's build for that, I'm sent onto that task. I ask 'What am I looking for?' since it's not clear on the Nav bar... 'Just keep going to the end' the leader tells me.
Well, I keep going and going and it turns out the last part is like the cape mission... there's a room where you have to stop the bad guys from attacking an object and once you enter they start. Since my instructions were to keep going I kept going and entered the room that sets them off.
I mention that I'm in a radioactive room (entering does damage) and there's no panic from any team members. In fact, I ask if that's where I want to be and the initial response is "just go to the end" once again. I ask if that means I want to go through the radioactive room and he calmly clarifies that we want the room before. So I'm teleporting teammates in and, well, we all die quickly when the mission fails because I gave them so much time to destroy the reactor.
Sigh.
Anyway, turns the first TV TF is a really short TF... three missions, one and a half that can be ninja'ed.

Aren't you also supposed to keep grabbing coolant backpacks or something to keep the reactor from blowing? Seems to me whoever organinzed the mission was very poorly informed or rather did a very poor job of informing his teammates!

Did not even know about the coolant backpacks. We were really poorly informed... worse we had one teammate who had claimed to have just done the mish and didn't answer my questions, either. (If you're on a pickup team and one person's giving vague directions I don't see why you wouldn't chime in... unless you're busy chatting with your SG.)
The leader knew the TF because he was able to explain what went wrong... he just never thought (apparently) to warn me beforehand. Sigh. Bad first TV experience but a good learning experience, I suppose.
Sigh. At least I know how that mish goes, now. Good influence. Died too many times to say it was good XP.

I did the Terra Volta mish with Blue once. Basically what you do is fight your way to the reactor room. Before you enter the room itself, there's a machine that you need to expose yourself to because it bubbles you up so you don't take rad damage while you're in the reactor room. The protection doesn't last forever, so you have to keep an eye on it and hop back to get bubbled up again when your bubble expires.
You use coolant belts to keep the reactor stable after it's attacked. Blue's attempt involved Freaks. I was exemped down to level 35 for it. I think the level 24 mish involves sky raiders, and the upper end involves Rikti.
We failed too, Lyle, when our healer got shoved into the reactor and couldn't get out.

Yeah, we faught Sky Raiders, including a buncha those scary Sky Skiffs. We should do that TF sometime, tho, it was kinda fun and the exercise felt pretty cool.

I will. I'd like to either do the Cavern Trial (finally) or maybe attempt the TV Trial. What about everyone else?

One thing about the Terra Volta trial, guys. You only get a limited number of respecs from it. I think the limit is about 3 or 4 respecs.
I'm not sure what would happen if we did it multiple times. You can get an SO instead of the respec, but I don't know if that saves the respec option for you at a later try.
