Just a reminder that this used to be hard. Also, I'm clearly too lazy to make a new graphic.

I remember that event. The challenge made it so much more fun. Wasn't that a 20 man mission back then? I forget. I just remember how many failed attempts it took before we figured out a system to get it done.

We played it on Kick a Tribble night this week, and I noted that players don't even bother to get outside the range of the Entity when it's absorbing and about to blast everyone any more. I don't think they even stopped firing when it was absorbing, and it got blown up in about a minute flat. We reminisced about how it used to be so hard it took all of us in the Fleet at once to do it, running as a 20 man. You couldn't fire torps, we would all get together and use repulsors, etc. Totally different now! But still a fun map.

Yes, thanks for the video Mr. Mercer. That was some good times. I wish they would bring back more 20 mans...
