I'll show up with my PB Guilded Phoenix.
The longest part of a Hami raid for us is team set up...
When you arrive in the Hive, it is extremely helpful to state your AT *OR* the team you should be on. For instance, generally scrappers should be on the melee teams BUT spines scrappers do very well on the ranged teams. PBs and WSs can be on almost any team depending on their personal play style and power selections - melee, ranged, hold or tank - so especially for the Kheldians, please state the team you think you would help the most.
Also... when you arrive and announce where you should be - give us up to 5 minutes to find you a team before being concerned! Sometimes, we have to balance teams out ("We will trade you a kin-fender for your emp-troller") before we find the right team for you. Sometimes we have 2 full teams and you are toon number 17, and now we need to set up a third team ("Ummm... 17 divided by 3 is 5... no 6... no5... AHHHHH!"). Also, sometimes we need more information before finding the right place ("well, "I like to hit things" covers several archetypes - can you be more specific?").
...but we are getting much better! Soon we will just flow like a tide across Hami. Team formation will take 5 minutes. Runs will start with "Gather. Buff. Go." Mitos will fall like rain. We will be able to take the bloom without leaving the goo. [Cell Death] will become commonplace. Raids will go in 20 minutes, and with a 10 minute reset, we will do 4 in 2 hours for crazy merits - we will FARM HAMI! I see a future where all toons are equal importance. I have a dream... a DREAM, I tell you!!!
Ahhhh, crap. Yeah, I guess it is all a dream. This won't happen anytime soon - and I didn't shoot JR.
Heeeeeheeeeeheeeee (and yeah, I guess I should lay off the caffeine) -

Monkey wants to go. He promises not to poop on anyone this time.
I got my Crazy 8 costume ready to go (hearts on my boots, diamonds on my gloves and an 8 right in the middle of mah boobi... errrr.... chest. And nothing else of course :0 )
Since this is intended to be a full *team* effort, if you have been through a few of this style of raid and would be comfortable holding the star for a team, let Cath know by PM (and let him know what team you'd like to run). Crazy 8, yeah we got your leader right here! Crazy 16, ok we got another leader to get you through! Crazy 24? OK, who invited all the dang scrappers? Heeeeeheeeeeeheeeee! -

Quote:And so I forgive you for calling me a jerk.Originally Posted by Mod_Noc
P.S. See it feels good to forgive
It is likely that you had NOT seen my prior interaction with Lord Ozi on TW, since that doesn't get posted for posterity like the forums do. However, he has been complaining vociferously about the server nickname, the server attitude, the server population for months now on Triumph Watch 2. Every time he has voiced his opinions in TW and he is provided feedback - some polite, some not so polite - he remains unmoved and unconcerned that *his* opinion is not the *prevailing* opinion. He states that this forum breach of conduct was for all of us "...was just trying to help out the server" and " ...was for a good cause" yet no one else appears to have supported this, even in concept. So, I stand by my statements in my prior post. While I am content that he apologized for his breach of nettiquette as well as forum rules, I do not appreciate that he still feels like he did this for 'us' when it is something that 'we' apparently don't want.
The phrase you have specifically quoted while calling me a jerk was in direct relation to the fact that this has been carrying on for several months (at least since November) on the server chat channel (TW2) and culminated in this forum 'event'. He has clearly demonstrated intense dissatisfaction with the server as it stands. It is this unhappiness that I am addressing by recommending that he consider going to another server that meets his needs - rather than trying to change the server that has resisted all of his efforts so far.
So yes, the tl;dr *was* rude of me... but, despite rumors to the contrary, I *am* human, and I *do* occasionally display emotion. I generally try very hard not to be rude, but this was one of those times it just came out. -
Very, very gratz guys! 16 people is very impressive! You definitely deserved your rewards on that one!!!
I would love to see your strategy...
Also, I do NOT mean to knock you at all, but from the experience of having done it without the nukes, or temp pets, do you think a group of 16 using those thing would be able to do it with more speed? I am just curious how small of a group can get this done in let's say an hour... -
If you are dissatisfied with the population, the attitude, the playstyle, the silliness or any particular aspect of the Triumph server, then you must consider this: the reason it is currently that way is because the predominance of the population LIKE IT LIKE THAT! Trying, as an individual, to alter any element of a server that is in the moderate population category (we are NOT the lowest population server by far) means that you are misrepresenting a lot of people for your personal opinion. To break the forum rules means we as a server have to bear the heat of your poor choice, which is even more inconsiderate and annoying.
The tl;dr of the above... if you don't like it on Triumph, leave. -
Really? I want to see BOTH of your bases now! When can I come see 'em?!? You KNOW I love base building

Was a fun raid, I was on Rhyn's team and I kept it PG-13 the whole time too!

Well, YEAH... but you put in good time and effort - you should still get something nice for it

So Fluffy sub-lvl 50, I would go with 4 of clouded senses (include the proc!)... Probably -tohit, acc/-tohit, acc/rech and the proc which gives nice acc (43.6%), nice -tohit (56.6% - don't remember how ED screws this up) with a touch of recharge (21.8%) which will recharge the SUMMONING power more quickly, just not affect Fluffy's attacks. My reasoning for this is that:
1) Fluffy needs to have some accuracy for any of his targetted powers to hit.
2) Everything Fluffy has (except Pet Gaze) does is -to hit, so slotting for -to hit maximizes the benefit you get from the slots you put into him.
3) Everything Fluffy has (except Pet Gaze) does is -to hit, so the Cloud proc has a chance of going off in Chill, DN, TwiGrasp and TT, which is a nice boost to his damage output.
4) some recharge makes him available sooner
Downside is that the set maxes at 30, but as you see, you can still get some useful benefits from it...
My recommendation for lvl 50 slotting is still 4 slots, and using the same acc/-tohit theory ... 3 Lysos (+acc/-tohit) and the cloud proc. I have found this to be very tight and effective slotting for how I use Fluffy (I treat him like an AoE -tohit power... I summon him into the middle of a spawn, and giggle as they all fail to hit him. Then I pick them off at my leisure ).

Hey all - many thanks to the peeps who showed up and played hard!
Perhaps the smoothest part of this was the players that came were willing to 1) participate and 2) actually do their assigned jobs like a big TEAM or something (shock AND amazement ). Also, most everyone who came had done a raid, so the explanations were short, and the regrouping was fast. We had team leaders that just kept everyone running smoothly. We had enough bionukes scattered around that [cell death] was an easy move. Really, all I did was count down and "cheer-lead"
HUGE gratz to Cath for 1) making me do this 2) finding enough people to do this 3) explaining [cell death] so that we could pull it off and 4) when the tank team did NOT GET THEIR REWARDS, he found suitable goodies to give to them (Amber, Yeesha - if you haven't spoken to Cath yet, he has some nice toys waiting for you...)
Stay tuned - there might be more of these in the works... -
You're welcome.
Triumph +1
Guardian -1
Oh wait.

Ummmm - ooops. We have rescheduled for tomorrow (Sunday 1/24) at 7 EST.
See y'all there. -
errrrrr.... see the next thread....

Thanks Adeon!
Further reading (about targetting a teammate and then activating Speed Boost - so similar conceptually) suggests that the timing issue is to blame. In other words, if you could put in a pause between the 'target oil' and the 'activate power' it should work... the suggestion (which may or may not work) was to put a 'filler' command in between, i.e. "targettargetcustomnext Oil Slick$$local Burn, baby, burn!$$powexecname Taser Dart" where the filler command to say "Burn, baby, burn!" in local chat would fix the timing in between the target command and the activate power command.
Again, haven't tried it, don't know if it will work - just trying to throw in the information I can find ('cause I want this perfected before *I* get OSA! Heeeeheeeeheee)
