You mean raids aren't normaly that good? 
I also got credit
Thank you for orginizing this J, and for every team leader who made this possible, and everyone who came in, didn't draw aggro from the Monsters, DID expand the tromendous lag and kept it all quiet.
Jiaozy did a great job, so did everyone else. I'm sorry i can't get 25 holding blasters into one team, but Thanks to oozygirl and Dream Justice for leading the #2 and #3 holding teams.
Again, great job. It's been a long time since Hamidon's last fall.

"Spam AM!"
"I can't!!!"
"Why?"
"It's been recharging for 15 minutes now"
"Bugger"

True heroes need no thanks!
Woo! With a special credit from me for the pummeling team who stood around looking badass and posing in our stylish yellow. Given the number of heroes attacking we had a very high dps to the tune of hundreds per second which would look remarkable if every 'second' hadn't lasted 10 minutes.
Go Union, it's your birthday, not really, party anyway!
And thanks to me for turning up fashionably late ^.^
Ah well done guys, who needs a Tanker Holding team like my one in the last Hami newayz! heh
Good job again Jia, knew you'd be useful for something

So it's a good job we had the first AM for about that time too
Great job organising the raid Ji - had my doubts about the plan, but when we got in there and I saw hardly any faceplants, I kinda figured "What the hell" - but in a good way
[ QUOTE ]
Woo damn that was awesome, despite like others not being able to see the beast for alot of it :P.
Congrats J for a wicked raid !! Held your nerve through the stress and all the leaders kept everyone in check well...and still managed to keep the chat channel relatively clean ^^.
I have to say though...when all i hear is ''Rad team is down !.....Group Flyer lagged and dropped" i did have my doubts .
Anyway..wooo party time !
[/ QUOTE ]
Yes I did worry then when I dive bombed Hami with half my team and then everyone quickly died 
Did it in the end and despite the insane lag, was fun and morons were kept in check pretty dammed well.
Grats everyone and cheers for J for setting this up and running it!
Very good one J, even if it took us a couple of hours got my first HO out of it
Glad my Groupfly was usefull for a change
Gratz from Dutch 
I'm still confused as too why Hami does that?
Phases in and out, anyone know why?

Because the game engine can't hand enough particle to show everything that' happenning(all of the heroes, all of the pwoers, morons spamming useless powers and toggling on Shadowfall and Steamy mist, you in speedos and such)and has to choose 'something' so show use, often are the other players, sometimes the server shows us Hamidon.
EDIT:
To all those that during the raid were sending me tells like:
'That's a n00b plan, it ain't gonna work'
'Great n00b plan, the Mitos will heal him to full'
'[censored] U DOIN? DO YOU KNOW HOW TO LEAD THIS'
'Do you know of the existence of an accolade called Vanguard?!!?Make them use it FFS!!'(this one as soon as the holders came in)
I would like to thank you, because [sarcasm]you really boosted my confindence and helped cheering everyone up[/sarcasm] but we all know that there's always some moron out there. that he knows lots more than you and I'm so happy you've all been proven wrong!
The plan worked, that should be enough to shut them up.
Great work, by the way, Jiaozy. If it'd been me leading, I'd have lost patience with all the idiots a long way back and gone "alright, you think you know whats going on, you run this thing" then stepped back and watched them faceplant. A lot.
I was just amused by the session of Chuck Norris jokes halfway through...
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
grats and thanks to everybody that helped to take him down. Of course special thanks go out to jin00by over there and that list of ppl he composed. However in contrast to that list, special thanks also goes out to babel for the mental support and co-leadin of the PA team .
Now of course some special credit to all the PA bombers:
Skull Bender
Planetus
7 sins - Wrath
Psydock
Babel Horror
Paragon Girl
Aesir
and of course yours truly
great job guys, your patience was tested but we had an awesome PA drop. Sure, some idiots cause some of us to drop by flying into hami, then flying up to us to let the AoEs kill us. However as soon as those decoys went down, I dont recall a single orange name in the blob (apart from stupid people who attacked mitos instead of nucleus). Which of course is the sign of a welldone PA drop. Great job guys!
P.S. having to do an allnighter to finish a report just cause you attended a hami raid SUCKS
"god, how many devs did hami have to sleep with to get ED?"
Total Cat @Stagefright
Grats Guys! Well done to you all!

well done everyone. Was there for the holding phase unfortunately I missed out on the Hami-O though. System locked up when the pummeling began and it was gettin late so didnt bother to log back in. Just means I'll be respawning on top of hami next time I log in.. but I'm already at the debt cap so nevermind
My first hami raid and hopefully wont be my last
For those who do plan to use these tactics again, there are two a couple of areas we kind of fell down on.
- Getting to the blob. This was a real pain for those teams that did not have fly. Group fly is OK but if you're in one of the three 'key' teams of illu's, tanks and kinetics that need to drop in first, trying to get everyone with fly is probably the way to go. I also think something is wrong in the Hive as 'swarm' cluds didn't just slow recharge but actually de-toggled our entire team en route. Thanks to Sara Aegis for having recall friend as we wouldn't have been able to get in place without it.
- The drop. This is VERY tricky as getting the tanks far enough away from the other guys did prove to be a bit of a problem. We tried to move away from the 'turtle' but people were so far spread out that it was hard to see where the turtle began and ended. It was also proving impossible to actually get in range to taunt/epic hold him at some points due to the sheer number of heroes. The fact the tanks were all in the black costume and repeated shouts for the hangers on to move away from us were ignored was just annoying.
- Target Hamidon through the pets. With Hamidon disappearing so much, it was getting tiring hearing people saying 'I can't see him' every 10 seconds and ignoring calls to target through the pets. From beginning to end, we had a couple of singularities who had a lock on Hami for the entire encounter but people didn't seem to want to use them.
Other than that, I have to say that the plan of ignoring the mito's was spot on. Once we were in on Hami, they pretty much seemed to ignore us and the few stray shots we did receive were soaked up by the healing blanket. I think that nearly all of the deaths occured in the first few minutes, getting to Hami and getting in position so this really does seem to be THE way to beat him at the moment.
Was also quite nice to see that, excluding those on 'hide', we had 201 people in there and was a very good turnout. I think we could have probably done it in a lot less time than we did as Hami seemed to be held VERY quickly. Unfortunately, the lag and server slowdown made it impossible to confirm.
Still the usual noob problems that seem to go with the territory of people having no idea of the plan but deciding they can order the attack, tell people when to use Vanguard, not turn off useless powers that cause lag, etc but most of them were kept under control.

Well done Delboy. And thanks to Radio for the suggestion to switch to the combat log, only way of knowing which powers had recharged (most of the time... none)
