I'm saddened by not being able to get into one because 20 levels is a lot of prestige earned. If I plan to go hero side anyways, let me be in the sg. I don't care if I can't use it for anything or even access it til 20, just let me earn the prestige.

what have people been pairing with elec control on their controllers?
-
Do they still use vanguard merits? I dont recall if they still do.
-
Any word on when the ghost characters will finally stop popping back up?
-
Even with GR being out we were still able to form up for some Citadel. Did I hear ITF soon?
And now that GR is out, we are accepting fire/rad corrs as long as they have AM -
Your completed raid times are an inspiration to us all.

Quote:I can't help you with issue 2, but issue 1 can be taken care of quite easily. Paragonwiki.com has the basic info on Hami himself, as do a couple posts on this forum. When the free server transfers were around the first time, I transferred toons over to champion, virtue, and justice just to get a feel for hami raiding again. Free transfers are coming up again, so it might not be a bad idea to do that.I'd be interested in leading, but there are 2 things stopping me - lack of confidence in my knowledge about Hami and his mysteries, (which could be overcome) and real life circumstances that don't allow for firm commitments. And firm commitments, when dealing with 50 people is a part of the puzzle that makes a successful raid.
Leading is all about planning. Come up with a plan, make sure people know what the plan is, and get enough people willing to try it. That is what hami leading is. A lot of other server forums have their Hami Strategy usually on the first page. Matt's own other topic has his strategy in it, my wednesday night raid topic has mine. -
Due to some server hiccups, not a lot of teaming happened tonight. Anyone else for a make up day tomorrow?

Synapse was run yesterday and I think a Sister Psy is happening tonight. If you need to catch up, now would be a good time.

Quote:I'd agree. The basic idea doesn't change, we are still killing mitos then attacking Hami. Yellow taunt team needs know when to get back to their spots sure, but the only thing slowing down our current raids has been people not following the lead. People attacking different mitos isnt gonna help, but driving home the point of who they are to follow would.As we were finishing up Hami she said in our team chat that she thought we could have pulled off an evacless raid with the yellow taunters.
The problems with the past raids that I noticed was emps using RAs whenever instead of when called; and people attacking what they wanted instead of following the assault leader. People that have shown up to the past raids should have a understanding on what we are doing. If we make it clear what we are doing and how we are doing it, evacless or not, we will have a successful raid. Realisticly, unless you are a team lead, hami raiding is boiled down to follow the leader. -
If tags were still active I think there would be a couple lolcastles down there

Found this strat from some friends on another server:
Quote:I like this idea and dislike it at the same time. I like it because it would really cut down on raid time because all mitos are being sweeped at the same time. I dislike it because Liberty is not so hot at following directions just yet. I think this is really something to shoot for.1. Hami Taunt
- Usually use 1 Tank, all Emps in zone add said Tank to Friends list, keep them AB'd throughout the raid. Add Emps on this team to taste.
2. Yellow Taunt
- Ideally 6 Tanks, 1 per yellow mito. Add Emps to taste.
3. Yellow Assault
- Scrappers +/- Emps
4. Blue Assault
- Blasters
5. Green Assault
- Can be several teams (2-3 depending on how many show up). One team should focus on Controllers for holds, the other teams can be any damage (Blasters, Defenders, Tanks, Scrappers, etc.)
General Raid Procedure
1. Form up teams
2. Defeat monsters for EoEs and spawn Hami
3. Gather at safe rock, allow time for team leaders to go over each team's role/questions/assign yellow taunt targets
4. Call for buffs: Single Target Buffs, ABs on Hami Tank, RAs
5. Call in teams: Hami Taunter, Yellow Taunt, Assault Teams (once aggro is controlled)
6. Clear mitos: Yellow Assault attacks yellow mitos, Blue Assault attacks blue mitos, Green Assault teams attack green mitos in a clockwise fashion until they are defeated. Start with the closest of each respective mito to safe rock for convenience.
7. Defeat Hami to 75% (35340 of 47120 total HP). If evac-less, call for EoE and RA buffs at around 37000 HP to give a little time. (At 50% he will be at 23560 HP and at 25% will be at 11780.) If evac-less, yellow taunt can stay in position around the bowl and wait for their yellow to respawn to catch aggro quickly.
8. Rinse, repeat, etc.
9. Defeat Hami
10. Merits/HOs -
Tonight one team did some Bloody Bay action while another team wrecked some council by doing Hess and Citadel TF.
Tomorrow I believe there is some teaming/tf action to help people catch up. -
The next raid I lead is going to be of the evacless variety:
Hami Taunt -1 tank, 3 emps, 1 kin. If I am leading the raid, I'll be tanking Hami, emps keep AB on me, kin keeps SB and ID on emps.
Yellow Taunt - 6 Tankers and 2 support. Tanks stand out of the goo and taunt the yellows.
Scrapper Team - 6 Scrappers and 2 support. Their job is to take out the yellows asap.
Ranged Assault - Team made up of blasters and controllers, atleast one being able to provide status protection.
Everyone else form into teams and follow the Ranged assault team leader.
Hami taunter taunts hami, yellow taunters taunt the yellows, scrapper team knocks out the yellows, ranged assault knocks out the greens then the blues. After the mitos are down, everyone attacks hami. While attacking him, everyone goes thru single target buff cycle. Prior to his bloom, all aoe buffs are launched and after the bloom everyone goes back to their duty. Yellow tanks should have their mito thumbtacked so they can get back to position quickly. Ideally, everyone will know what they are to be doing and this process will mean a faster raid which could mean more than one raid in a night. -
Totally agree and according to the hami survey, http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/DG3XCZY, several others feel the same way. I think people don't want to do the monster hunt, not realizing if they showed for that everything would go quicker.

Quote:Still need to work on people showing up so there isn't as much time waiting before we start. Like I told Crusha, raiding isn't hard you just need people to show up and those people being able to follow the leader.
Now that we took down Hami maybe getting enough people to the hive wont take as long.
