Just reminding everyone that EoE farming will occur both tonight at 8PM EST and Tomorrow at 7PM EST.

Ugh...I have been looking at some of the comments on other sites and all of them are along the lines of "wow, CoH must have some really mean people in it, no way I am playing it now!"

This whole thing just makes me sad. Not angry, just sad

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!!!!!

*flies through thread octuple wielding uzis and spraying bullets everywhereS*

Hrm, probably the day of the raid. Havent got my schedule from work for that week though, but I'll set a time when we can do it once I find out.

So anyways, this thread needs a bump. I just want to let everyone know that I have been recruiting. And to keep you folks interested, I figured I would post the basic strategy for redside raids so everyone knows what they are getting into.

For Starters: Hamidon appears in a zone called the Abyss, which can be accessed via a submarine just to the southeast of the main Grandville Ferry. In order to spawn Hamidon, a random number of monsters must be defeated. Each monster has a chance to drop a special inspiration known as an "Essence of the Earth", which is very helpful for resisting Hamidon's attacks.

Hamidon is also surrounded by three kinds of Mitochondria, all of which must be defeated in order to harm Hamidon. Once all mitos are defeated, Hamidon will respawn all the mitos at 75, 50, and 25 percent health. In other words, the Mitos must be cleared four times.

But you probably knew most of that already, so here is how the teams break down.

Mastermind pet stream team: Consisting of six masterminds and two kinetics corrs, the pet stream team has one of the most important jobs at the raid; holding Hamidon's aggro. This is very easy however. All they must do is constantly send waves of pets to attack Hamidon, while the kins keep their recharge buffed with speed boost. No EoE's are needed.

Yellow Taunt Team: Probably the most important team, the Yellow Taunt Team consists of six brutes with taunt and two support characters. Each brute is assigned a yellow mito, and tasked with holding its aggro. EoE's are CRUCIAL to this team's success. Once the mito a taunt brute is taunting has been killed, that brute should fold into the yellow spike team.

Yellow Spike Team: Consisting of brutes and stalkers, the Yellow spike team moves around Hamidon clockwise, clearing the yellow mitos as they go. The initial mito will be called out by the raid leader (myself), and the team will work clockwise from there.

Assault teams: Consisting of Doms, Corrs, and pretty much everyone else, the Assault team follows the targetter around hamidon, attacking the mitos he calls out as they go. Blue Mitos are attacked initially to pull healing away from the yellows, then the green mitos, then the blues.

Additionally, every team needs at least one person with teleport, in order to bring people back to the safe rock (located directly east of hamidon) after each mito bloom.

And that's pretty much it.

Im not sure if this is for every TF, but I was running the Doctor Khan TF today and you could BUY INSPIRATIONS FROM HIM.

2 Stalkers? Why?

[/ QUOTE ]

Oh lovely, so yet another piece of content that Stalkers are not welcome to participate in. Besides, aren't Stalkers supposed get a temp power that makes certain machines in the SF useable?

[/ QUOTE ]

Its pretty awesome actually. There are these little doors at the back of Reichsman's room with these forcefields that oneshot anyone without the power who tries to go through them. Stalkers can zip through them and click a glowie that wipes every single 5th column spawn in the room.

The villains SF is just soo much more enjoyable. If you can't beat it the first time, don't write it off. Just like teams were failing the ITF left and right when it came out, it will take awhile for a stable strategy to develop before this SF can be completed regularly.

[/ QUOTE ]

This. It took me about four tries before I managed to beat the ITF. Now I can run it in my sleep.

I have seen a lot of "grin" faces. But hard to blame people for using them since that face is awesome.

Great White, my DB/WP brute. No Hyphens, no periods, no little stars on the end. I still can't believe I got it.

This is the funniest damn thing I have read in a LONG time. Keep it up!

Well, all of them except victory for some reason. And it is a Tuesday after all.

I don't really have an issue with Dev's Choice. Hall of Fame is another matter.

[/ QUOTE ]

Agreed. The dev's cherry picking their favorite arcs does not bug me. What bugs me is when an arc gets really good feedback, works its way up in plays, keeps its five star rating, then finally makes it to HoF only to be blasted back into four-star purgatory by a bunch of trolls.

Sorry about that! I'm back all! Now then...

LETS KEEP THIS PARTY GOING!

Alright, so now that we have switched to a monthly redside hamidon raid schedule we have a bit more breathing room with bringing people in.

As stated before, the raid will occur at 9pm EST on July 11th. Subsequent raids will occur on the second Saturday of each month.

If you have someone you would like to bring to the raid please post your global, and the characters you could bring to the raid in this thread, and I will PM you back as to what character would be ideal.

Thanks!

Given that Japan is in fact Japan, you can never be sure.

Damnit! There goes my twenty bucks!

Honestly, I expected a bad review. I knew you would raise a stink about the whole 3 parter thing, but in all honesty, cramming this into one arc just would not work. But hey, to each his own. Frankly, I like the trilogy system. It gives the player a chance to choose if they want to move on with the story, or just skip it. I do have an idea brewing for an arc that is sort of a sister story to this one, which will also be three parts. I do hope to make this next one a little more episodic though.

Thanks for the thrashing though!

P.S. I have no idea how that ended up in the neutral queue.

P.P.S. I pulled those quotes right out of my copy of the Bible, but seeing how there are so many different translations I could see how the mix-up occurred.

I wonder if anyone has started a "banker" SG. It would be a collection of players who would take any inf you wanted to deposit and hold it for safekeeping, keeping records of the transactions on a separate website. Then, you could use them to transfer inf to any character you wanted.
