My IGN is Bladepool and I've been wanting to do Sister Psyche for a while now. I assume you meant 9:30PM PST which would be 12:30AM EST? You can count me in if this is still going down.

Thanks in advance!

You would be wrong. A spade is a spade so lets call it a spade. I for one would never verbally put down some ones attempt at running a hami raid because whether it succeeds or not the fact they tried speaks volumes. I was at that raid and I was on vent. I was not privy to what Steele may have said or not said to Cherry in private but that raid not working had next to nothing to do with people not following directions. It had to do with lack of experience, nervousness, the team leads not being communicated with and to properly, the leader of the yellow taunt team that day not being able to get their team organized and more than anything her connection and lag making her binds either spam or lag in going off. People were following directions but when her lag and connection issues were sending out those directions and when she actually wanted them to do something was 2 different stories. The problem at the time was being blamed on Felecia and her whole 1 team of people doing their own thing. That is giving her entirely too much credit, she isn't remotely smart enough to impact a raid that much.

Just like I stated way earlier in this thread, people insinuating that a few people not following directions or doing their own thing impacts the success of the current raid system that much are wrong. It may slow the process down a bit but that is about it. These raids are not hard and I don't care how many times people say "year and a half" of running raids, that is not going to change that fact.

By the way. Your response right there is exactly why the "kool kids" term is being used. Yourself and a few others that have participated in helping run raids lately come across as extremely aggressive, possessive and cocky in your posts.

There are people in this thread posting that have ran raids on and off for THREE, FOUR , FIVE AND SIX YEARS giving their thoughts or opinions. You don't want your contribution of a year and half to be labeled as "not wanted or needed" if you had advice or opinions, what gives you the right then to belittle people with WAY more actual leadership experience than you? No need in answering that being you just showed you feel your contributions are more significant, wanted and needed than people before you.

I don't see aggressiveness in this thread from actual raid leaders. No sarcasm or asshattery from Amygdala, Cherry, LLewthor etc. That is what makes them good leaders though. Perhaps others could learn some humility too and realize tons of people across 11 servers past and present contributed to paving the way for the success of the recent raids on Champion. I KNOW my personal raid success was due to people like Marut, Blaze etc paving the way and figuring out the original systems and coming up with strategies. All I did was tweek them to make them a little better based on my leadership style. If anyone with more experience than me tried to offer me constructive opinions or criticism you can best believe I am going to listen and definitely not label their knowledge as "not wanted or needed". Having that attitude keeps you in a box and you never get better or grow or improve at anything. That is the difference between an actual leader and a follower though.

The crew was flexible enough to say "sure, why not" and give it a go. Sometimes it wouldn't be successful and we'd have a laugh about it. But most of the times it was successful (such as having different assault teams for the blue and green mitos instead of one ranged targeter, and of course the "evac-less" method). Either way, we gained valuable information, through success and failure.

So I guess, flexibility and having a good attitude is key. There is no one way to do the Hami thing, and with the coming of GR things will likely change up a little more. Either way, there are good, knowledgeable people out there who would be more than willing to help and impart any helpful advice when necessary.

....okay I ramble, time for coffee.
