Just a reminder that the Villain Hami raid is tonight, Saturday 8/7 at 7PM in the Abyss.

I'd like to plan on running this raid as evac-less, so please make sure you are in the zone early and with as many EoEs that you may have.

As always, preferable ATs are:
-- brutes, with or without taunt
-- pain domination corruptors/masterminds
-- dominators/fortunatas with holds for green assault team
-- stalkers, widows, banes for yellow spike team
-- any and all corruptors for support/blue assault team

Thanks.

EoE Hunt tonight for Saturday's hami raid ... which I would like to plan on running using the evac-less method (fingers crossed that we'll have enough people).

Please come help us if you can so we have the EoEs for Saturday.

-Llew.

1. WP/Stone - Capped HP, has previously solo taunted Hami - Yes - @Amygdala
2. Invuln/Ice - None - Yes - @Amygdala
3. WP/SS - Cap'd HP, has previously solo taunted Hami - Yes - @Force
4. ?/? - Whatever build needed - Yes - @Force
5. ice/ss-capped, solod hami, will do 2nd build if needed : @cherry-2000
6. regen/dark- a smidge off cap, solod hami, will do 2nd if needed:@cherry-2000
7. WP/SS - Cap'd HP, solo taunted Hami - Already changed build - @Cobalt Azurean
8 - Stone/Stone - Capped HP (with EE) -- solo-taunted hami -- not able to change build/use 2nd build and have no epic pool powers - @Llewthor2

Gratz Kev ... nicely done.

we need to get a bio nuke (or two) and test out how close that puts us to the regen cap as our next test.

I'm in and I'd like to bring my crab but could be talked into bringing something else if needed.

-Llew.

Nice job ... gratz guys.

Thanks CA.

- Villain EoE hunt ... Fri., 8/6 8PM EST
- Villain Hami Raid ... Sat., 8/7 7PM EST

Hey all -

So we're running a little bit on the short side of EoEs for the Villain Hami raids (we just had enough to finish last week's raid) and to remedy this, I will be hosting an EoE hunt at Monster Island this Saturday, 7/31 at 2PM EST.

Access to Monster Island is through north Grandville and the zone is not level-restricted, so any level villain can join us (assuming you can make it through Grandville ). Obviously, the more people we have join us the more EoEs we'll get and the quicker this will take. Ideally, I'd like to run the hunt for just about an hour.

Thanks.

Raid form-up is in about an hour.

(get off the forums and start heading to the Abyss!)

EoE Hunt is tonight.

Bring your masterminds!

I just wanted to close this thread up by thanking everyone for their help and support.

After working with Dell/Alienware on Wednesday for about three hours, my computer seems to be working at 100% again, connecting me to the internet when I start up, which was the most recent issue.

And, I've separated my power connections so that the computer and my A/C unit aren't being powered from the same outlet and everything seems to be working again.

I have been able to connect and run/play the game without any issues for the last two nights.

-Llew.

I'm back on the phone with Dell/Alienware support now (and working off a laptop) because i can't get any internet connection working at all on the computer at home.

I've tried all the obviously troubleshooting: different patch cord, different port on the router, connected through a different jack than what i normally use from my computer room and nothing changes anything.

Love the tags on this thread.

While i don't hate masterminds, per se, for the strategy that I employ in leading the hami raids, masterminds become more of a distraction ... unless they are /pain or /therm.

I only say this because, in my experience, people don't know how to control their pets and we end up having masterminds on the assault teams and their pets are attacking everything EXCEPT for the correct target at that time.

Now, if your highest villain (lvl 45+) is a mastermind (that's not /pain or /therm) and you want to come to the raid, then please come on down and we'd love to have you.

But, as I had to do for the last raid, I may ask if you have another AT that can be used on the hami raid because we need more damage/holds/etc.

I'm not trying to discourage anyone from coming out to the raid at all, but the time of having a team of masterminds in order to have a successful hami raid is over, as we prove just about every other week.

-Llew.

Hey all -

The next Villain Hami Raid is scheduled for this Saturday, July 24th in the Abyss. Teams will begin forming at 7PM EST with the raid scheduled to kick off about 7:30PM EST or earlier if the zone caps.

Since we are also kind of short on EoEs, I would also like to plan an EoE hunt on Monster Island for Friday, 7/23 at 8PM EST and should take about an hour.

As always we need more of the following:
-- LEVEL 50 VILLAINS!!!
-- brutes, with and without taunt
-- corruptors, any really but /pain or /therm are needed the most and all corrs are needed for the pewpewpew of mitos
-- doms/fortunatas, needed for holds/damage on green team

And, as a reminder to everyone, this is the strategy that we use:
- One brute taunting hami with support from a kin and pain doms
- At least four brutes taunting yellow mitos, with support from kin, pain, therm corrs/mms
- Yellow spike team, made up of brutes/meleers to take down the yellow mitos
- "Blue" Assault team of corruptors to take down blue mitos
- "Green" Assault team of doms/fortunatas to take down green mitos

- We'll also be using a bio nuke prior to heading in for each wave. Anyone who can get/bring one will help to speed the raid along ... just send me a tell if you have one.

Thanks and hope to see you all there.

Here's my daily update:

After spending two hours on the phone with Verizon Fios support and another hour on the phone with Dell/Alienware support yesterday afternoon, one of my brothers asked me when the last time was that I ran the computer without my air conditioner on.

When I shut down the A/C and re-started the computer and loaded the game, everything worked fine!!! I couldn't believe something like the A/C unit drawing power at the same time as my computer would impact the game (especially when everything else ran normally).

BUT (yes, it's a big one), I got greedy and decided to start re-loading programs onto the computer that I run with the game. I downloaded Vidiotmaps and then restarted everything so that it would take effect. In the process of restarting, I happened to turn on the tv and a window fan I have in the room and once again when I started the game, it froze on me.

I couldn't get back to test the game with everything in my room off because of another issue i am having, since the wipe/reformat of my hard drive: at my house, when I start my computer it doesn't recognize me being connected to the internet. I didn't have this issue at all when I had my computer at my work office, but for whatever reason when it is at home, I constantly have to shutdown, restart or force shutdown to be able to get the little troubleshooting icon to pop up when I restart.

This was something that I had the Dell/Alienware tech support guy check out (when he logged into my system remotely) and he did do something to fix it, but whatever he did hasn't fixed the issue.

So, after about an hour of the shutdown, startup, restart shuffle and not being able to get my computer to see the internet, I called it a night and will have to try everything again after work today.

Tell me about it.

I guess I should have fired everything up here and testing how things worked before doing the wipe and it would have saved me some time and hassle, but oh well.

So I've got my computer at my office again this morning and I can connect to and run the game with no issues (I even had both of my accounts logged in and running).

I'm hopeful that this means the root of my issue is with Verizon Fios and now I just need to get a break from work to head home and get their support people on the phone to straighten this out.
