good luck to you, our raid on vigilance ended a few minutes ago with a clean victory.
about 200 heroes (40 contro or more), the hold technique worked nicely (we had also 2 spare mythos, just in case it prevents from new ones).
so once again, good luck to you

Don't mean to be rude, but I have no idea what you mean. Mitos? Spare mitos??
Congraz on the raid btw. Have you worked out a non-hold strat for Hammi yet? And did you all get HOs, coz if you did then Union is one step behind you 
well i don't know the name in english for the mobs protecting hamidon, in france they're called mythocondries (mythos) and we left 2 of them alive to try a non hold strat but we finally went for the hold strat.
and i think all of us get the HO
ahhhh, right, sorry. So use to calling them mitos that I hadn't even considered that there could be another expression for them.
From what I gather, leaving any mythos in the goo will not prevent mythos spawning at the 4 spawn points when Hammi's health goes down. You did right though with following the hold strategy, 200 off mythos spawning on top of each other would have crippled your server
And well done on the HOs. Its difficult to ensure that number of people get one while trying to eliminate lag, but as long as everyone gets to hit Hammi once, everyone should get one.
I'll be there, probably with firey but might get black medic out as she needs a spring clean, getting dusty atm
count me in - want me for the hami aggro group again?
I'll try and come along to help, I'll bring sweet and her mongy new respec along to (attempt) to keep us alive a little longer.
I also have some psy control powers now, if that helps at all?
Think any control powers will help towards defeating Hamidon
I've never been to a Hami raid before and I'm trying to get my Scrapper upto 45 by that time. Hopefully will be there for the fun as well.
All control powers will help. The more the better 
And Uzzi, if you see me online with one of my 50s, most likely at the weekends. Gimme a shout and ill help you on your way
Cheers matey, would appreciate that greatly would be awesome to team up again!
me 2
I'll do my best to be there with my Tank. Happy to be on any duty required of me. I'll even give tanking the big guy a go... seen it done many times on the US servers.
Raiden will be there....crossing my fingers that the server isnt on hamidons side this time.
Once more unto the breech, dear friends, once more unto the breech! Count Willow in, providing heals and buffs as necessary.
@Willow R
Main Hero:
Willow R (Emp/Rad Defender, lvl 50)
Matakoshi (kat/regen Scrapper, lvl 50)
Count me in.. I had wanted to get a controller to 45 for the raid...
...but too many other toons to be played 
Still need atleast one Hami-O so I'll be there with DD..
Let's hope that Hami doesn't decide to go off on Holiday mid raid like last time

We built this city on Rock and Roll!
Well, Famke is now Lvl 47 so please sign me up for my first Hami Raid
Another troller reporting for duty.
OK! Finally remembered to post it.
What plan we use pretty much depends on the turnout we get.
If we get a pretty wide spread of people turn out, I personally dont think its worth doing a non holding plan, cause that would just exclude people. If this happens, we can go with the normal plan which I will post below. Or we could give it a shot with the new plan the yanks have been using, which i'll find a link to in a sec.
If we get a low turnout, But enough rads we could give it a shot with a non holding plan, which we can test on the night.
Ok, as it stands this is the plan we should read for the night, and try and learn. Important bits in bold.
The minimum level to attend a raid is 45, Sadly if you are below this you wont be able to attend, but im sure you can follow the progress on Evo Radio
The meetup for the raid is set for 7pm UK Time, With a view to start the raid at 8pm. (This is subject to change, I'll post if it does change). Remember to bring awakens cause its very likely that you're gonna eat some dirt at some point during the raid.
It's up to yourself to form your own teams for the raid, Try and make sure you have an empath in the team, and somebody with group fly, If possible.
This excludes Illusion controllers, They will have their own specific team, Which i'll detail later on.
Costume colours for the raid are as below, Its not vital that you stick to these colours, but its very important that costumes have no cape or aura, and as little detail as possible to minimize lag
Blasters: Red
Controller: Purple
Defenders: Blue
Scrappers: Yellow
Tankers: Black/Grey
And please remember, No capes or Auras to minimize lag.
If you have a hold, Please also include a small purple detail in your costume.
Please remember to stay off of the Request Channel during the raid, This is for the use of raid leaders only, to keep the plan clear.
Strategy:
After we assemble at the platform inside the Hive (team leaders will be able to show you where this is), Illusion controllers will be organised into a seperate team, with somebody with group fly. They will then hover above Hamidom himself, and drop Phantom Armies spread around the jelly, to draw some of the aggro away from the rest of the raiders.
NO other pets are allowed during the first phase.
Once the Decoys are in place, the Hamidon Tank and his team of emapths will move into the jelly, to get the aggro of the Nucleus, This is to keep the very nasty AoE away from the rest of the raiders.
After the Hamidon Tank has the aggro, and has given us the go, The Targeter and the rest of the raiders will enter the jelly. The Targeters purpose is to pick out Mitochondria for everybody else to attack, And you should ONLY attack his or her target. The targeter will move the group around the bubble, clearing as they go. Yellow mitos first, and then Blue/Green mitos after that.
The easy way to keep track of the Targeter, is to put him/her on your friends list, and click on the name there, if you lose track of him.
The general rule for the first phase, is that if you're attacking something that isnt Yellow, you're on the wrong target, And please try to refrain from using AoE attacks, as this could get you unwanted aggro.
At no stage during the raid, Should you ever attack Hamidon. This could draw the aggro away from the Hamidon tank, and pull the AoE attack onto the raiders
Once all the mitos have been defeated, everybody will be called to leave the bubble, Except for the Hamidon Tank and his team. Once everybody has left the jelly, Everybody with a hold will re-enter the the jelly and group up next to the Nucleus.
Once everybody is in place, People should cast their buffs, Such as recovery aura, and more importantly Accelerate Metabolism, to speed up the holding. At this point people should start spamming holds at the nucleus, And keep on casting the buffs.
Even with the reduced effect because of ED, It is still important that you 6 slot your holds with Hold Duration SOs. Every little bit of extra hold time helps. This may seem silly with ED making it not optimal and everything, But your recharge time will be virtually capped because of all the AM and Speed boost, so the 6 Holds will be more important
I Would also like any kinetics in teams to keep the controllers speed boosted as much as possible, so that we can keep pumping the holds out.
At this point, The only pets that should be used are Dark Servants and Singularites.
If you lose target of Hamidon, and its quite possible that you will due to lag, Click on a pet and target through them. They will never lose target, No matter how bad the lag.
Once Hamidon gets held for a period of time, People with ranged attacks will be called in to attack. Its important that you stay at the max range possible, to minimize the lag for the holding team.
At no point during the attack should the holding team stop using holds, its VITAL that you continue spamming holds because if Hamidon breaks free, He will spawn one Yellow Mito for every hero in the hive.
Once Hamidons health approaches the 50% marker, There will be a call on the request channel for Vanguards to be used by the holding team. This is to make certain that Hamidon stays held for the rest of the attack, as if he breaks free, Doom will ensue.
After that, Hamidon falls, and we party to Atlas and eat some bloody christmas pudding ;o
If i've missed anything, feel free to ask questions on here, or PM me in game. (I'll be online with Xiro at about 7pm on the day of the raid)
And one last thing, Please make sure that everyone in your SG and Friends list is aware of the plan, The more people that have read the guide the better as it saves us problems on the night
count me in
I have a good feeling about this one
.......what? who accused me of bumping this thread to get more interest ;p
if we fail, why dont we do it on the test server and get people from all the servers there
I'll be there with my blaster, its my 1st hami raid since he got brought over from the US
... are you going to try and hold him, or take him down from outside the goo bubble ?
