Heard hami didnt even spawn tonight anyway though. Kinda sucks if it's true 
That would be because we didn't have nearly enough people, as Wulf said. Many of us were farming in preparation for later raids.
And no, the Jello blob didn't spawn.

Well, hopefully folks will bring any EoE drops they got back next week, and we'll be covered in case of a quick spawn. Thanks for getting the farming started anyway, Spell....even if it didn't lead directly to a raid.

I will be leading a raid tomorrow night at 9:30 EST for those interested in doing so. This will be the last raid I will lead this year, as the next two scheduled raids would fall on Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve. I plan to lead the first public raid of 2009 on Wednesday, January 7th, unless someone organizes one prior to that date.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all!

Yah, it's possible that folks will be inclined to do something else with the Winter Event in full swing. If we hit raid time and there aren't sufficient numbers present to warrant the time it would take to raid successfully--assuming there's enough to raid at all--I'll call it and everyone can go enjoy their snowmen and glowing presents.
Because of that possibility, I'm going to ask people to be as punctual as possible tonight, and to make certain they are unhidden if they are in the zone. The head count will happen at 9:30EST using the search feature, so anyone who is not in the zone AND unhidden will not count.
If anyone is running late, I'd advise checking here, as I'll post if the raid is cancelled for lack of participation.

Well, the raid has been cancelled. At 5 minutes past the scheduled raid time, there were only 20 folks in the zone--nowhere near enough to raid successfully.
As I said, everyone enjoy your holidays, and I'll plan to lead one on the 7th of January.

What seems to be the AT most lacking at raids nowadays?

All of them. But we actually have one running, there are far too many Controller and Blasters. So basically, Tankers with taunt and Scrappers.

It varies from one raid to another. There for quite awhile, we were short on controllers. Lately, it's been tanks with taunt. Contrary to some opinions, tankers DO need taunt for this, if they're gonig to serve on the aggro team, and I will not put a tank without taunt on there. If we don't have enough or think we can cover it, we won't raid. All taunt-less tanks will be placed on the scrapper/melee damage team.

Thanks to all who came out for our first successful public raid of 2009, and to all the team leaders. Despite a very quick spawn, we had enough EoEs and took hami down in about 50 minutes.
Hope to see you there next week!

Thanks to those who showed up to take out the Hamidon again tonight. Raid time was around 45 minutes, and just over an hour counting spawn time.
Special thanks to the team leaders: Urth, Flash Flood, Sausagetoes, Grim Maligne, Dominic Law, and Terra Cotta Warrior (my apologies if I missed someone).
Hope to see you all next time!

Unfortunately, I have been under the weather for the last couple of days, and will not be on to lead the raid this evening. If others would like to take a shot at leadership, they are certainly encouraged to do so. I will be back on and ready to lead the raid next week.

Thanks again to all those who came out for Jell-O this evening. The Hive was full about 5 minutes before raid time, the monster farming went pretty quickly, and Hami went down in about 45 minutes. Special thanks to my team leaders!
Hope to see eveyrone again next week.

Thanks to all those who came out tonight. We were able to begin exactly on time because the Hive was full about 10 minutes prior to the scheduled start time. We had a very quick spawn, and then took Hami down in 34 minutes. That was outstanding work by everyone, so kudos to all who participated, and a special thanks to the team leaders!
I will not be available to lead the raid next week, so if anyone would like to do so, I'l be glad to share the macros I use. Just contact me on these forums or in-game. I plan to be back leading the raid in two weeks. Hope to see you there!

Yes, yes there was jell-o tonight. Glad you made it.
We had about a 15 minute spawn tonight, followed by a 40 minute raid. Very nice work by all concerned, and a special thanks to my team leaders. See you all next week!

Thanks to everyone who came out tonight. We had a very short spawn time (think we took down somewhere in the range of 6-8 DE) and then a longer raid than normal (about an hour and 10 minutes).
Two things contributed to the longer raid time. One, we were very short on tankers with taunt and scrappers for the melee team. Two, we had a very limited number of EoEs.
We went ahead anyway, covering aggro with fewer tankers and taking down yellows with less than a full team. It made things slower, and caused teams to take damage they don't ordinarily take.
However, the folks stuck to it, and took Hami down....even completing the majority of the last wave with NO EoEs at all.
Way to stick to it, Guardian! Hope to see folks next week.

Hey Wulf, since you are the person to see about Hami on Guardian, I was wondering if it would be possible to put together a villain side raid in the near future. There was an attempt at one the other day, but it was short notice, and not enough people were available. And while it was amusing to see an army of MM pets try and make into the Jell-O mound, it wasn't very useful, heh.
Even if you aren't available to take on a villain raid, perhaps you'd be willing to give me some help with getting one going sometime soon. I've done some poking around for interest in it, and it seems it should be doable, with enough notice and someone with the skills to lead it.
I'd be much obliged if you'd lend a hand, or point me in the right direction. Thanks much!

It helps if you make your presence known. If people think you're not coming, they're not coming either. At the time you logged in, those of us who WERE there were farming EoEs.

At the time I logged in, it was 15 minutes after the raid was scheduled to start, and there were nowhere near enough folks in the Hive to raid. Had I made my presence known, it would have been to say, "It doesn't look like we have enough to raid tonight."
At that point, others may well have shown up, but it would have been delayed to the point that it would not fit into the timeframe I had set out in the original post of this thread as a workable raid time. Thus, I chose not to do so.
Likewise, it's true that I could have said something in the zone about running late. But I opted to post it here where I figured most of the regular raiders would look. I also chose as the raid leader not to keep folks tied up farming for a raid that wasn't going to happen or one that would take far too long to complete. My apologies if that isn't to everyone's liking.
Again, however, I do plan to be there at the usual time for next week's raid, barring any emergencies.
