I'll copy Laustin d'Woods over and Choppendown d'Woods so we can switch between them depending on the side.
I'll also need an invite to the Hero team, I will help with base stuff if you want!
u want me on villain or hero kin?
Come on with your hero to start and we'll see what numbers are like for each side before seeing if people need to switch
So who are the characters used for sginviting people? Also everybody make sure your chat handle is correct on test server, I have a hunch its not automatically same as on live server. (just tried to gfriend @kinslayer on test 
)
I may not be back from dinner at parents 
**Acceptable "support" responses**
Its your fault
Its your computers fault
Its your ISPs fault

they got changed when they did the lvl 40 RV event, when the characters got put back we got left with the globals created in RV
lol, no idea what mine is but if you just holler on arena, someone will hear
Just wanted to say, OMG.
I had great fun testing out my troller in an actuall raid, and you guys were really awesome. The beginning was a bit off but then we got into it and it really got going.
For semi-PuGs, it was, for me, a total success. Well done kin.

Double Control 50 earth/rad
Yeah, took a while to gbet it up and running with people switching toons due to the pathetic turn out on the hero side and number of no shows but was a good laugh.
I still worry about the future of raids though as it's so frustrating dying before you've even zoned in.

I'm hoping its bugged because it is a challenge defending base when the invaders are coming from all directions too easy when we already know where they going to be.
Its a shame though so many people didnt turn up without posting beforehand . . . but i quite enjoyed pvping with people from my home server on my defiant corruptor
And Dubs earth/rad is pretty much the best defensive toon there is

I enjoyed it too, didn't notice any major bugs.
Spawning in one place is abit unfair on the attackers as the defenders could just fill that room with guns.
Wish there was more people.
I also noticed that base raids have been shortened.
It used to be an hour to defend/attack and now its half an hour.
Thank you who showed up, at least now I got some raid experience - (my first after baseraids became lvl 50).
Im not too sure whether I enjoyed it or not, though. Now I understand more of the talk thats been going on about baseraids.. Good news is that if attacking is that difficult then Goonies might get an IoP after all..
sry for not showing as I was busy packing and apparantly I've packed my brain in one of moving boxes too 
SingStar:
"Extremists LOVE to fish to get us annoyed so we break the forum rules."
CRACK68:
"The origin of life wasn't planned either, should all life be declared a bug and wiped out?"
Lionsbane:
"You know me.Ever the realist"
I too was brainless, not having Xanthus to remind me.
Oh, btw, the one spawn point thing is a bug afaik.
Yeah, the fact we all spawned in the same place is a big big big bug. :P And a very annoying one, we didn't have a chance to do anything before getting WTFOMGPWNED by the villains.
the spawning wasnt too bad and cud be overcome, i think the problem was me and gat, amongst others, had no idea what we were actually supposed to be achieving

Yeah, we didnt have an appointed leader for starters, since Xan pulled out. The whole hero side of the raid was bit haphazard, in my opinion.
For future, I think the actual plan can be simple though: camp defender hospital, destroy rezzing rings, camp entrance while people take turns putting up pylons? Isnt that it more or less?

Taking out the generator and any other power devices stops the hosptial and any guns/base defences working. Unfortunatly being outnumbered and villains knowing where we were coming in meant we couldn't get much of a foot hold in the base.
After the Generator the Anchors should be attacked.
Pylons are only useful in stealing the IoP and aren't used in winning instant raids afaik.

When you are fighting decent bases I feel the only way to actually win it is by through pylons. You have to be co-ordinated but it is much easier than trying to destroy 6 anchors.

Aye, agree with Max there. Since I7, taking out objects is really not an option as it takes 3-4 damage dealers a good several minutes to take down a single item and no defenders will leave anyone unmolested that long.

Especially if the raids really have been shortened to 30 minutes I doubt that attackers have any time to spare to destroy any extra items. In the raid I poured 4-5 attack chains on the rez ring with my blaster and noticed a miniscule drop in its hp. Therefore I suspect taking out the generator would require just too much and attacking rez rings sounds better idea. In theory taking generator out may sound like a good idea as it shuts all rez rings down, but whether its actually destructible is a different matter.
Apparently the devs made their trademark OVERBOARD maneuver while 'adjusting' the raids. But I dont really mind because if attacking is this hard, the Goonies might actually dare to acquire an IoP.
as it auto SKs im happy to play either corruptor or mastermind (whichever is needed more for balance) on the villain side
