Quote:Still 6-8 controll AT's is overkill even for a master run. That was the team that first got the master badge. We let the tank solo the yellows, the forts took the blues and the 2 trolls and forts took out the greens once the rest was down.Originally Posted by Desum
You're right, but "master of" setting had us thinking to go for overkill on the holds to get the greens down as fast as possible due to their 50 mag hold protection. This second time around, we used EoEs and these were mainly used by the brute. While the brute stood by the Hami to grab aggro, the rest of they team did not have to worry much about the damage inflicted by Hami and were free to kill the Blue and Greens. The Yellows were taken down first by the brute and fortunata. Building the team, I felt this was a "safe" team makeup.
The rest is all cupcake.

You can probably do it with as few as 3 controllers or dominator's if they have good recharge. I know we got roadblocked by the greens the next night running 3 forts and an a controller, even though the math said we should have been able to hold them. -
It doesn't require nearly as many control types as y'all are bringing along. When we took it down last week we had a tank, 3 defenders, 2 trollers (an ill and a Grav), and 2 forts. Would have been faster but we didn't use pets because we didn't want draw to much hami agro.
I we used 3 EOE's in total, 2 for the tank killing the yellows and one on my fort during the blues. -

That is part of the problem. The group I like playing with most of the time is small. We sometimes fill outside the group and then the problems begin.

I don't like this myth about perfect teams. I've completed all kinds of things with ragtag last minute teams. Heck the first MoLGTF was in no way hand picked. We all just brought what we wanted to play and one player had to switch toons to solidify the team. One of the defenders didn't even have any enhancements (which we didn't find out till the last mission). If people learn to play multiple toons and have a group first attitude almost any team can be a perfect team.

I really don't understand why so many people seem to dislike the Master Of X badges? I find them challenging tasks that require concentration, communication and teamwork. But its not that they are super hard to do. Yes, your just gonna be unlucky from time to time but thats no reason to hate the badge (or the people that have it).
So tell me, what do you Like or Dislike about the Master of X badges? -
We did ok with it the way it is. Took a while but thats cause we were going for the Master of the LGTF. Which we completed. Having done once it I think you can leave it as is and people will be doing it in about an hour once you learn how. Regular runs with temps should still be sub 45 minutes.
Now its more like the STF, your gonna have a challenge. For once I wish Castle would leave it alone and let the cream rise to the top

Redside Hami has been done before. I think Pinnacle was the first server to take hami down redside once he was released. But that's just one of those things I heard from someone and I have no confirmation.
The recent raid was great. Very smooth and I really enjoyed it. I would love to see blue side raids comeback but someone is gonna have to step up and take the lead.
Like I said I will run an agro or a kill team, just not a raid. Also we will need to find an available Vent server for the team captains to be on, it helps with the coordination. So if you want to run a team or a raid, GET VENT. -
We did essentially the same thing when we had enough tanks and emps at the raids but we would always reset between spawns because most people can't keep themselves that coordinated. You would see that more in private than public raids.
At public raids, esp on Pinn you kinda work with what you have because we also get a lot of leachers who don't do anything but watch and get one hit. The overall strategy is the same no matter the situation the raid leaders just need to adapt the strategy to it. -
Nothing changed. AE got popular and people prefered to do that at the time. Then Fashion had other things to do and I didn't want to herd cats. If someone wants to take charge of blue side raids I will gladly coach them on what to do but I am not really in interested in leading anything but and agro or kill team myself.
-
Do you have punch and pie? if not I am not interested. and please post a build so I can evaluate you skills. God that one JK posted scared me. To think I actually teamed with him once or twice.
Whats your benefits package like, can you guarantee me LOTG 7.5 for every 1/2 mill of prestige I earn you?
What are your plans and goals for the SG, are you shooting for the top 50/25/10/5/1 on the server?
this message was a joke. Good luck with your SG and give a shout if you need someone to run those TF's with.

If the cats show up I am leaving. I hate herding them. Its more fun to just see how many different Monsters they can try to kill at once and then how may times you can get them to raid wipe jumping into the jello at the wrong time.

Quote:So put together a private raid. you know who the players are if you don't I can give you list. you don't need 50 people. just send the invites to them with a date and with a time, or I can post it in the hamibound global channel and invite folks to that.Originally Posted by JKwervo

I'm sure our friggin server can....like srsly......16 folks? AND WE CAN'T EVEN DO ONE?!?!?! COME ONE!
*sad panda*
If you get the right poeple and someone to run the blaster/controll team I can manage the agro/melee. I won't heard cats thought -
Nice modification of the blue side method. I'll be there and I hope it goes well.
Question: Should we bring a few nukes just in case and whats the prefered flavor? -
I blame Hawk for this entire mess and demand that Jade be named Honorary Queen of COH and each of her toons given 2 billion Inf.
At the very least this should be done because she likes to eat Spam, and sounds cute on vent.
That is all. -
ah Hawk... he likes the group thing
-
FASHION! I'll lead a team for you. but only cause I love killing hami. Ya gotta give me a week or two to get out of the hospital though.

Any scrapper can solo it. I did it the other day on a shield/dark. I would stay away from spines myself, spine burst just isn't strong enough at that level to really be effective. Broad sword is also to slow for my taste.
The fastest solo runner for posi I have used is a purpled/pvped out elec/dev blaster built to run in Bloody Bay.
If you really want to build for it I would go all the way to 50 and then slot down on an alt build. A lot of those set bunuses will X down with you if the enhancement is the right level. -
Pinn is kinda all over the place.
course thats cause half the server is drunk. -
scrapper=sexy
don't hate the sexy -

Wow you can actually set the mission to -1?
I didn't think you could manipulate the Task Force numbers like that when running a master. Good thing to know now, I will do that when I run them from now on.
Thats no fun. Master run should be Gold lvl time with no deaths and no temps vs +1 or higher.
of course I'll do the -1 for the badge. Would love to see someone accomplish the above challenge. -
Yup, look me up.
