A few good scrappers!

With tonight's raid making it 3-0 straight in the eternal Union Vs. Hami. battle, I must first off congratulate and say thankyou to Lost, Raziel, Streekz01 and Dark for their continuing work to organise these raids!

Without getting into detail, we had a mishap where a GM was almost dragged into the controller group during the hold phase, to prevent this in future and further guarentee that raids succeed I'd like to assemble the following.

Perimiter team(s):
Consisting of 8 scrappers with their individuial challenge powers. Each perimiter team takes part in the Mito clearing as usual, but during the hold phase perimiter team is to form a circle around the baseline of the Hami Crater.

Purpose: if a GM attempts to enter the circle, said perimiter team can taunt the GM to draw it away from central group, attack if nessecary and alert on raid channel as nessecary to incoming. Please note: this role is highly likely to incur debt as the idea is to keep the GM away from the troller group, even at the cost of personal debt.

The team will also serve as a perimiter marker, allowing raid leaders to ask people to move outside the perimiter team radius for safety.

Any suggestions, or volounteers for the next few raids would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds a reasonable idea to me (and gives me another reason to level my scrapper...)

Very good idea, Tsumi. It would have saved the stomping a few of our trollers got!!

well with a few volounteers we'll give it a go next raid

hi mate if you need me for your bodyguarding duties after clear count me with my fire/fire TNK. I saw the GM going in last night ( i just saw golden rings hit this GM and this little hero running off into the jelly i think oblivious to the fact he had a GM in toe, but by time i got off the hill after typing in raid chat to the raid he had made it in the jelly.
I think next time less typing more action may have stopped the GM going in so far but i was so amazed seeing this GM get held and dragged in,i was typing fukk fukk who agroed the GM noooo

Thanks guys, I'm going to SO up my challenge power for this as a GM hitting the trollers pre 50% is as you guys know extremely dangerous for all of us!

I'm working at the moment, but I've got a few ideas that I'll type up when I'm home later, but I was a few replies on here and had to say thanks for the support

Great idea, as it allows scrappers to do something after the mito clearance. I know I'd get bored if I had to watch that from Coward's Hill.
As a squishy holding blaster, I think this is a brilliant idea!

Hey Tsumi, My scrapper Danta is yours if u need, was in your team for hami and there was some panic when the GM went 4 a walk so this is a good idea


 

Posted

There was indeed, after the GM went down and we setup to intercept anything else incoming I thought it might be a good idea for future raids, hence the suggestion here!

Sounds like a good plan Tsumi, my 50 ma/regen, Felicia Nox, is at your disposal for perimeter duties next raid.

I'm glad there is so much support for this idea

Streekz, daft question but would you want us to team with you before raid, so you can directly target for the scrapper team without us having to macro target through you, might make damaging mito's slightly quicker, then we form perimiter at holding phase?

I'd like this to work as smoothly and well organised as possible, there is already a lot to do on the raids, so i dont want to add any further complications

Sorry for double post, but have a few updates on the idea:

Current Perimiter Guard Volounteers
Tsumiju Zero
Judgement dave
Rorix Bladewing
Streekz01
Corpos
Danta
Felicia Nox

Briefing:
I spent some time today doing some thinking about the raid overall, how the perimiter is going to work and the overall objectives. I'll be putting together a small mission briefing that covers what the guys have put together so far in flash, so that for future raids everyone can view it, understand the colors etc.

New toys!
I'm testing the effectiveness of each of the Warburg missile powers against the GM's in the area, looking for Endurance, HP and how much it annoyes them as primary factors.

Costume
To make the perimiter stand out more, I was toying with the idea of having a unique raid costume, so that perimiter members can serve as a marker of where people Shouldn't be during the phases of the raid.

Activities
I'm also willing to assist and help run evenings to assist in badge hunting for Vanguard accolades for hold toons, temp powers that are raid supporting and of course comments, suggestions and any community actions to support the raid would be welcome ones.

a colour no other raid member wears is pink cept him though
alternatively just have a design on the chest and legs in either black or white, something that stands out for example. I know you'll get it right


 

Posted

well I was thinking traffic cone red / white or perhaps black / yellow hazard tape style

I'd suggest the hazard tape colour scheme, seeing as scrappers are supposed to be in yellow for the raid anyway...

yup, nice to see this coming together, looks better planned than my raid lol


 

Posted

lol, well on the briefing front, do you have a battle plan as such for the entire raid, from PA drops right through to the end I can read through?

my plan is based mainly on the Hami guide in the defiant heroes section, i'll post a link when i find it


 

Posted

Tsumi, count me in on the next one for perimeter defense too.

I was in your scrapper team for Hami & it all worked very well - even the swift plunge into battle when our over-friendly GM decided to come and say "Hi" to the trollers!!


 

Posted

If I can make it on the night, then you can add Flitz to the perimeter team.


UNION @Flitz 50, Lead Hose 50, Red Rag 50
DEFIANT Rose Bloodthorn 34
VIGILANCE Captain Caledonia 20 - Yeah, I made toons on the French server coz we only had 4 back then (might have to transfer/recreate them on one of the US servers)
..and many more!
