This pretty much sums up my experiences with the Virtue Raids. i remember we started a raid with about 30 people and were on the second round by the time we hit 40 in the Hive. It was a bit tough, but doable. Keep in mind this was using whatever AT's showed up for the raid, not optimized teams.

i recall one Virtue Hami raid where a few in the peanut gallery were expressing doubts about whether we could succeed because there were (OMG) only two Empaths at the raid. The raid was completed successfully.

i'd wager that a fairly active SG with skilled leaders, a reasonable mix of AT's and mostly competent players could run successful raids with no help.

Now here's an interesting challenge: running a Hami raid using no more than 3 teams. i'm pretty sure it would be quite doable.

i'd go with the Sonic/Rad Corruptor.
Sonic/Traps would also be pretty good, but Acid Mortar's recharge is a bit long at that level for my taste.
Also, RI+AM are both very tasty.

More cricket sandwiches!
Tea is nice as well.

Please and thank you.

That was my understanding as well. i think it was verified by noting the number and location of yellows. When a Yellow Dawn happened a yellow Mito would appear directly over each player and pet if they were in the bowl. A complete, nigh-unrecoverable wipe would quickly follow.

Mmmm, coffee.

i think i need to shower and get a cup. Still not quite awake myself.

Being able to access/unlock subcategories of capes was added long after the Collector's Edition. Back when the Prestige Power Slide was still fairly new and common it was often called the "noob scooter".

The funny thing is that for a few months before the pack (and Slide power) was added to the game i had a flying blaster who would frequently use the power slide animation for several seconds when moving after entering a zone by train with Fly toggled on. It was just the pose without the glow effect, so it sort of looked like she was riding an invisible surfboard out of the tram station.

Yet.

Actually it seems to be fine so far. CoH even crashed to desktop once, which implies everything is back to normal.

Were you doing Guardian's "okay, we had our raid and it went well, the rest of you peasants can have a raid without interference since we got what we wanted" private SG raids, or the more public raids that the SG allowed afterward if they didn't slip up and cause a yellow dawn or otherwise feel the regular players were out of line?

Regardless, when the new raids went live i was playing mostly on Virtue and found the raids there to be quite fast and fun. Most raids were completed in about 45 minutes. Since they were advertised in the forums, global channels and even through broadcast in several zones, and held at the same times and dates every week they were first come, first serve public events that hinged on everybody doing what they were good at and adapting based on which AT's/sets showed up.

Virtue raids are still going strong, but i haven't been to many Virtue raids since the first successful use of the no evac strategy. Which is sort of a shame, since getting that to work was an interesting change in tactics and i've missed the most recent innovation that combines elements of the no evac strategy sans the pets with regular tactics.

Oh, and redside raids are entertaining in that they remind more of the old Hamidon raid with the MM pet stream drawing aggro.

My DM/Elec Brute begs to differ. Chief Soldiers are slightly crunchier and actually sting when they hit, but they also make for a tasty snack.

That is sort of the basic strategy still, but that's sort of like describing Patton's campaigns as "a bunch of soldiers and armor all move onto the battlefield and start shooting." It's not wrong as far as it goes, but if that's your entire strategy you will fail horribly.

Unlike Neuronia I like the new strategy more. It may not be as easy as the old raid, but to me the greater need for coordination and an active role for every AT is much more fun.

It's with the Everybodies.

Singular: Everybodies
Plural: Everybodies
Plural possessive: Everybodies'
Plural possessive as a contraction with 'is': Everybodies'
Singular possessive: Everybodies'
Singular possessive with... you get the idea, and it would just get sillier from here.

Also available as a stand-alone booster pack.

Next: Mutant Tentacles. Includes multiple costume pieces sporting writhing tentacles, including the first animated 'tail' in City of Heroes.

I17: No.

Going Rogue: Yes. This thread in the Hero Con section is a good place to start.

*heh* You beat me!

Well that's because tohit is a character attribute, not a power attribute.

Reading comprehension fail.

The tohit buff enhancements enhance the tohit buff of the power they're slotted in, not the character's tohit itself. Really, that's a silly question to ask in response to to a post that answers the question you're asking.

NO U!

(Is that better?)

It's surprise (live server-crashing) content!

i said usually and frequently, so go for it if you want.
