The Riddle of Hamidon - 6 and 13 jan


BattleEngine

 

Posted

right, as we all know there are alot of conspiracy theories about another way to beat hami, read about it here: clicky

The only way to test these theories is of course to actually execute em. Therefore after scouting the hive again tonight some of us came up with a plan to check out the hive and see if we can solve the riddle of hamidon.

Everybody that doesnt mind spending a few hours in the hive with possibly no result whatsoever and most likely gaining some debt is welcome to join. The plan is to test our crazy theories friday the 6th of january 18:00 GMT, led by Velvet Noir (I alas cant make it then) and if we dont crack the code we will continue friday the 13th of january, 19:00 GMT led by me.

If interested, sign up here. We will need quite some people to take down the GMs in the zone to test our ideas. Our aim is to get bout 30-40 heroes there to test it. So dont be shy and sign up here. Also join the global channel "Riddle of Hamidon" if you still got a spare slot in your global chan list.

Edit for accuracy: The primary goal is to find the METHOD to kill hami, not to actually kill him. would be nice if we could, but its nice if we actually find a way to do it.


"god, how many devs did hami have to sleep with to get ED?"

I would like to repeat: We may just be wasting our time. If you're not willing to do that, on the slight chance that we manage to find something useful for the future, then please do not apply

You and I will both be the happier for it

Thank you

Beating up GMs! I'll let you know on the channel if I turn up since there's an extremely remote possibility that you'll discover a tunnel to a control room with a midget and an old bbc computer inside that controls Hamidon.

I had a scout around on the test server last night, respecced Pyrius into a scouting build - maxed out slots on swift, sprint, SS, invis, hasten and phase shift. As long as I was moving the GMs left me alone, if I stood too close to them for too long they saw me and started attacking but I would just Phase shift and zip on - man I could move fast.

The GM walls are definitely interesting and there is a clear and contrived ground route to hami. I had a look in the small woods and couldn't find anything though the GMs round there do seem quite attached to them.

My gut feeling is there should be a contact like the woodsman that tells you what to do to start the process to beat hami and that it should be close to the entrance to the hive.

Would be very interested to hear if anything happens when you destroy the GM walls.

I would join you all tonight but got dinner with the GF

count me in for the 13th but not tonight

pink's been stashed away in my character list and need to stretch her legs a bit

I'm up for scouting. Not a particularly scouting build but i'm all firepower for helping take down GM's if it comes to that.


 

Posted

I'll bring in Sulphur for some GM tanking and scouting too


 

Posted

Only 6 blobs for Scape, then I can take part too . Sign me up for the 13th.


 

Posted

Is this still happening? I just took a peek in the hive and there was only 2 of us in there...


 

Posted

This did go down, so to speak. Thank you to all who assisted

Our tests, aside from affording us the opportunity to hurt some DE GMs, proved fruitless. So we've eliminated some options.

Next tests will take place on the 13th. These will be tougher. Much debt will there be.

Obviously the tests we did were a failure, the power of Beefcake+the power of the Scrapapocalypse combined wasn't enough to open that strange door.

Keep going with this folks, I have a feeling you're on the right track. I'm only sorry it'll all be solved and posted everywhere by the time it is relevant to me .

But it feels like a worthwhile thing to do, and it would be funny if through one of those doors was all the high level content everyone has been crying out for .
