It may seem a noob question, indeed it is a noob question..
In issue 3 (no doubt others) once hammi was defeated numerous pods/seedling would spawn, these would be killed and the HO would be awarded. The seedling were also known as the exp part of the raid.
However this system has been removed.
So now, when is exp awarded?
Indeed how much exp would one expect, at level 46 say..
I have looked on't internet for any information, but as yet have found nothing.
Though yes it is not all about Exp. I would go even if 2 exp points were awarded!

I would've thought that xp/HOs were rewarded once the nucleus was destroyed, as once it goes, the whole blob disappears (so i'm told)

Yes this is the system in place at the moment, it was not always this way however.

Yeah, that xp return looks about right...
Xp is very poor on a raid - you'll get more in 5 minutes battling greens and greys in Peregrine Island than you'll get in 3 hours in the Hive 
You'll get a small amount of xp during the mito phase and you'll get a small amount of xp when/if Hami is defeated (this is when a random HO is automatically awarded to everyone who has done damage (and also everyone who is in a team which has done damage I think). The Hami buds spawn directly after Hami's defeat and reward you with an SO when defeated (possibly some xp too - can't say I've ever really paid attention to their xp rewards).

Xiro, just one quick question. Your strategy for tackling the Hami nucleus itself is to just use ranged attacks coupled with holds and buffs, leaving the melee-ers outside the jelly. Will we scrappers/tankers still get the kill reward (ie. a Hami-O) even if we don't actually damage the nucleus itself?
Newbie question, I know....but then, I ain't never been on a raid before 
Hami back yet? ... since is meant to be a raid tonight ?
at the final push (around 25% health i think) the raid leaders will tell you to mob hami. at this point you'll be able to contribute 
but for best results...try and include a troller or 2 on your team
Yeah, just gonna keep it to ranged at first depending on lag.
If it is that bad we will have to keep to ranged attackers im afraid, in case we crash the server for the 4th time
Glad i checked in here again , i thought Hami was on vacation?
If he's back i'll be there , i'm 3 for 3 against now and want to return to winning odds
Oh well, good try
Soooooooo close too.
Vanguard had just come back, and BOOM, Mitos
Thanks all for coming, Maybe next time
not just that but a sodding map server crash right after. they must be able to fix that...

PS:if only the vanguards had come back 5 secons sooner it could have been a different story.

That was kinda my fault. After everyone had died, I managed to make it outside the jelly so I popped an awaken and charged back in (as any sane hami-raider would). At the second that I jumped into hamidon, the zone crashed.
Heh, I survived the initial spawn and ran back in to fulcrum shift and hit fireball. I died before I got a chance though

He he he fun raid...
Do I consider it a waste of time?
No way! Had great fun, something diffrent really helps I find..
TBH I laughed whence all the mito's spawned... I do not pretend to be a proffesor on Hammi, but it seemed clear that the edited plan would fail, it just has such a slim chance of sucess with timings...
But hey we all now know that the said work can work if perfected a tad more.
The lag wasnt too bad, though I did feel cheated when I saw heroes in colours and costumes that did not meet the guidlines that were set out..
All in all.
@1 Bub of exp.
@ 2 Badges- Heart of Hammidon and Deathless or some other debt badge...
@ 3 New shiny level 53 SO's.
@ 4 Humerous face plants.
And a gizzilion amount of fun.
On behalf on HU thanks go to the raid organiser's (however there orders may differ )

That was more fun than the last few , big thanks as usual to the organisers and look forward to next one.
Was looking real good for a whiley there as well.
I love how my screen absolutely froze shortly after not being able to move due to the 0.24ish fps I got, then got disconnected from the server .
I should probably have three-slotted KO Blow with Hold enhancements for the holding phase 
.
Sorry the hammi did not go down
From what i gather tho' you guys where close, glad to hear the servers didnt go down while hammi was up. Only after the mitos spawned did we get the dreaded lost connection to mapserver.
But definatly a good effort defiant, we get him next time

It seems a little odd to me why the devs would design an endgame challenge which is rife with lag and/or mapservers. Is there no way for them to upgrade the servers at all?
Yeah, its a known issue. I think they may be changing it or doing somthing with it anyway.
The lineage 2 servers seem to handle sieges and raids involving many hundreds of people fine. PlayNc is also involved with that game. I presume though they must have diffrent types of servers? I am useless at this computer lark though!

of course there is, sadly it all costs money and they dont want to spend it, Im sure Cryptic would love for their game to be run on a vast array of Cray supercomputers but I dont see this happening
