Kira_Swiftpaw

Due to uncontrollable circumstances (net went out), I wasn't able to lead the last RtR, sorry. Couple that with the fact that I rarely come to the forums anymore.. and you get this late response.

The only reason I came here now was to PM Zek. :P

>^.^<

Hmm.. Vega poses a great question. Mew didn't even know about Open Beta starting tomorrow for reasons mew won't release yet (mew's such a tease!). Mew will have to say.. no.

Why? Well, mew won't go to Beta mainly because mew hates leveling characters in a place that's NOT the live server, then having to do it all over again once the issue is released. But many people will indeed do exactly that: go tinker in Beta.

That's fine by mew. Won't hurt to take a night off from thrashing the Rikti. Gods know they could use the time to heal.

On that note.. off to see if mew new vacuum cleaner got delivered yet and then to relax for the night. Make sure to stay tuned if curious about what mew hinted to in the opening paragraph. Gorb, Nomme, Vyx, (few others).. don't go blabbing about it!

Thanks again to Kitty for running these. For those of us chaos-lovers, they are a lot of fun.

:urrs and blushes::

Glad people are having fun at these. Mew does have something planned for the future... but with as much fun as it might be to try, people not listening/willing to cooperate will ruin it before we can even try it.

Can someone tell me at what time I have to stop "showing" the kids how the XBox works tonight?

[/ QUOTE ]

As is said in mew guide, the party starts about 9pm EST... baring the "problem child" of course...

>^.^<

Just a reminder...

THE RUSH IS ON!

See y'all there tomorrow! And if 'problem child' tries to start another Raid right before mine like last week, mew'll wait it out in hopes he leaves like last week since no one really attended his Raid like people attend mine. Or try to spawn RWZ2 and head there instead. Either way works. Just giving y'all a whiskers up!

>^.^<

Also.. Mew might be on mew new level 50 blaster, Cindercat, instead of mew tank, Kindle Kitten.

Wow, just... wow.

Everyone seems to care about mew and by the looks of things, are backing mew up. Mew doesn't know what to say. Mew will continue to run mew event on Wed nights, in hopes things will turn out better. Mew, up to today, has only reported 2 other people for anything (well, other than the usual RMT spammers). Mew just doesn't like reporting people. It's just not mew, but mew might have to start.

As for the RWZ 2 idea.. we've done it before, but it's hard to fill the zone with so few people in attendance. *sighs*

And Stalemate, mew'd be happy to inform you as to who the "problem child" is (mew knows the toon name and his global; don't know if Vorac told you), but mew doesn't know anything about your Praesidium stuff. Only that you DO NOT want to end up on the "Blacklist" there. But you know where to find mew ingame (tells or Jello Shooters; "problem child" isn't in Shooters).

Once again, thanks to everyone that showed up and put up with all the crap. Mew feels bad that the event keeps going to crap because of a few ... *takes a deep breath* players.

>_-_<

*sighs*

Well, it seems once more the lil 4' tanker is out for mew tail and keeps pulling U'Kon whenever he feels like it and not when everyone's ready for him. Not only that, he also took to verbal (well text) assault on mew saying a bunch of really nasty stuff.

So mew apologizes to all those who came out for mew event only to have it jacked by [censored]. We barely got through the two rounds we had because of them (like the lil tanker pulling every Magus he could find into the group of Raiders; how mature).

Mew'll try once again next week to lead mew event, but if they keep jacking mew Raids like that, RUSH the RIKTI might be dead. Mew just can't take the stress much longer. Mew's actually sitting here shaking from the stress and wondering 'they' keep setting out to ruin our fun.

Laters all..

>-_-<

Okay, let mew try to clear some things up...

*reads over Vega's post*

Hmm, someone beat mew to it it seems.

Vega's right on the money, actually. Probably because we're usually on TS together for the Raids and he knows the stress mew goes through on each round, but still.

If anyone remembers when mew first started doing the RtR events, they'll remember mew has tried to get people to go from grate to grate, clearing Rikti as we moved. Mew idea was to go from grate to grate and clear as much as possible, then mew'd pull U'Kon.. too bad no one bothers listening to mew once the shield drops. >-_-<

Also, mew friends are the stoners that try to herd all the time. If left alone, they can pull off massive herds and everyone would have a chance at tons of merits, cash, prestige and XP (for those who attend that are not level 50 yet). Sadly, it turns into a free-for-all and some people... well, mew doesn't want to say 'grief' (but that's sure what it looks like sometimes) by using all kinds of knockback powers, taunts, immobilizes, holds, slows, etc. to try and stop/divert the herd.

As for U'Kon the GM... *sighs* Like mew said in the guide, everyone thinks they know when to pull him, when they don't. They give no warning, no advance notice, nothing. They just go and pull U'Kon whenever they feel like it, which means most of the people at the raid miss a chance at the badge. The past two weeks, it's been this tiny lil 4' tall-ish Willpower/Fire tanker that seems to think they're in charge and can do as they like. To mew it looks like griefing, or they might just not know how their actions are affecting the raid in general. Mew's hoping for the latter, as mew likes to give people the benefit of the doubt.

>_-_< <-- head hurts and wants a tummy rub

Mew, I really want to come, but I don't think I will be able to start making them until next year.

You say that like it's that far off.

>^.^<

Mew knows mew posted this once before, but since there are a lot of new people showing up to mew Wed night RUSH the RIKTI raids, mew thought it'd be a good idea to throw mew guide back up on the forums here to help clear up and possible questions...

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, furries of all ages.. LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLE!!

That's right! The Sex Kittens and Rare Breed are proud to kick off Rush the Rikti!

So here's the lowdown, as mew stated in a previous post, mew's gonna -try- to lead a Rikti Ship Raid every Wed night at 9pm EST! Sorry to say, mew really sucks at time zone conversions, so you'll have to figure those out for yourself. Sowwy.

Anywho, we'll start at 9pm EST and keep going until we run about three "runs." Each "run" lasts about an hour or so if things go well.

We'll all meet up at the Vanguard mini base at Point du Hoc (has red stripes on it; each mini base has different colors on it). For those who care, it's called Fort Plum.

Meeting Point

Once it's "Go Time!," the first Pylon that we'll take out is Pylon #12. Mew will call out each Pylon as the previous one is destroyed. For those new to this, the Pylons are numbered on your map. If they do not show up on your map, click on the Options box in the map window and make sure the Special dot is "checked." The Pylons should now be displayed on your map. The basic run usually goes as follows:

Pylon 12 --> Pylon 11 --> Pylon 14 --> Pylon 17 --> Pylon 15 --> Pylon 13 --> Pylon 16 --> Pylon 6 --> Pylon 5 --> Pylon 7 --> Pylon 4 --> Pylon 8 --> Pylon 3 --> Pylon 2 --> Pylon 9 --> Pylon 18 --> Pylon 10 --> Pylon 1

At the point, the shield that's protecting the ship will drop and the true Raid will commence. We will board the ship from directly above Pylon 1. This is not the only side you can get to the ship from, but it's usually the easiest.

Boarding Point

Now on each section of the ship, there are a total of 6 Grates, which is where the bombs are planted. There are 3 up the left side, and 3 up the right. To plant a bomb, you must destroy the Grate, which has 810.0 HPs. Now as soon as someone starts attacking a Grate, Rikti should start 'porting in around the Grate to try and stop you/us.

The Grates
Grate's HPs
Open Grate

As suggested by.. M I Abrams mew thinks it was, once your team plants a bomb, shout it out on Broadcast and/or Request. Now you might be asking yourself why, so here's your answer: YOU'LL GET BLOWN INTO LITTLE HERO OR VILLAIN BITS!! Seriously, unless you're a brute or a tank, or something else with a lot of HPs, if you have like.. half your HPs, the bomb going off will most likely kill you. Can we say "Ship Wipe?" Mew knew you could! So the idea here is to minimize the chance of this happening as it's a pain to travel from the Vanguard hospital back to the ship.

Now once enough bombs have been planted, and/or Rikti taken out (not sure how it works), the Rikti Giant Monster will spawn in the center of the ship. Trust mew.. you can't miss him.

GM Spawn Point
Rikti GM

The GMs' name is U'Kon Gr'ai and he (or we assume it's a 'he') has 76695.0 HPs. Mew believes he works like every other GM that is associated with a badge, meaning your team needs to do 10% of the total damage (not 10% of his HPs) to get badge credit.

IMPORTANT!! Once U'Kon does indeed spawn, either mew will pull him or mew will have someone mew trusts pull him! Why is this? Basically to prevent mass deaths and team wipes. Most people seem to think they know when to pull him, which they don't! Thus resulting in people getting slaughtered by the Rikti Magus es (Magi?), Heavies, and all sorts of other buffed minions and bosses. Another reason to wait for mew to pull him/have him pulled is so that everyone is ready and waiting for him so they get badge credit!

Now there are 2 badges to be earned by doing the Ship Raids. One is called Demolitionist, and the other is called Master At Arms:

Demolitionist is earned by planting 25 bombs on the ship. Now this is a team credit badge, so as long as someone on your team plants a bomb, everyone gets credit for it.

Master At Arms is earned by helping to take out the GM 10 times.

So mew hopes this attempt at a mini guide helped answer any questions you might of had. Mew apologizes in advance if mew missed/forgotten to include anything, and mew hopes to see you there!

>^.^<

ALSO! It is possible to get Superior Recipes (a.k.a. "purple drops") from the Rikti on the ship. Mew got an Armageddon Acc/Dam/Rech off of a minion. So there's another reason to come to the Raids!
