URPG
Was great fun, finally actually having something to do, instead of standing around waiting, so count me in unfortunatly i won't be home till about 9pm on friday, so might not be able to make it to the raid, if we are as fast as last time 
anyway looking toward future raids with you guys, but please... why yellow?
Cos the scrapper AT is yellow in colour unfortunately :P Could be worse, could be a troller and look like a beetroot :P :P

hehe!!! The yellow is quite bright, but i do have to say i like it! especially now we have a set cossie for Guards! Makes it more official! More proper!!
Just quickly i thought id say i think its a good idea to have a bind (which i did see before, but must be on another topic post) for incoming threats.
Also positioning .. I forgot we didn't have a full team before, and for that i think we did cover the perimeter very well! I think a simple (as simple is always best! lol) placing I.E. 4 in the North, East, South and West positions and then second 4 in the NE, SE, SW and NW positions.
I know this can only work properly with a full team, but with what we have it shouldn't be to hard .. with the level of communication between Guards as high as it is, i think we can handle whatever may decide to try and crash the party.

its supposed to look like hazard tape lol, it was either yellow and black ( which made more sense as we are primarily scrappers ) or traffic cone red and white
We did bloody well covering the area, definately agree that we had the distribution down well and the chatter between the teams was superb!
I've made a bind that's going to permanantly sit in my trays, I've targeted it to the request channel for highlight, but was going to see what you guys though before sending the button out to everyone!
its really nice to have this go as smoothly as it has, it certainly helps in terms of griefing, accidents and rogue GM's coming into range!
btw rorix, your deaths for the raid were duly noted lol, I faceplanted a few times myself, but in the end nothing got past us whatsoever!

QFT! I created a macro for that and I'll probably create a couple more just to cover every eventuality The spread worked fine as it was, but with a full team of 8 it'll be ever more effective
i figured it was yellow and black due to being mainly scrappers and tanks, who are those respective AT colours
holy unintended coinidence batman!
didnt think of that one as well!!!

a request to to you lost or tsumiju!maybe i find ya to tell ya inside game but the team really needs a rad troller!not to be with us all the team but maybe pop in do a lingering rad and enervating field and go continue his holds on hami!just a thought but i saw that only dmg was not enough to cut the gm's quickly!

its definately a good suggestion, although some healing would be handy as well. I like the idea of being effective against the GM's, but I don't know what the implications of taking trollers off Hami and onto perimiter are.
Lost and Raziel can probably answer this one better than I can

judging by recent actions, we can lend you a couple of scraps and tanks to use as shields, but fraid we need all the others mate
Defenders also have Rad, and are less of a loss in the holding phase than a troller. Still a big loss, but less of one .
�How do I like my MMOs? I like them the way Paragon Studios used to make them.� - a fitting tribute from kiasa.org
EU, Union mostly.
no problem, looks like we'll just have to make do lol, fantastic work by all last time, so hopefully nothing will get past us this time either!

It's not a bad idea there..
and if we have got spare ones, we cud maybe lend them to the perimeter team.
But, we need all we can get to speed up things.. but I'll take a look at it, and see where I could maybe spare a couple or so Kins/RADs (depending on how many show up on each day, which is the main issue with diverting "forces" away from the intended 'jobs') .. but no promises -- we're still trying to refine the tactics we use, but I will keep people appraised if the situation changes.
But, feel free to keep the ideas coming, the more ideas, the better the 'Raid smoothness.
I dont wawnt the troller or the def sit for ever in the perimeter guard just to be in the perimeter channel the tmumiju created and when someone says in the channel that â gm is closing in to pop there do a lingering rad and continue his holds in hami!i dont even mention radiation affection or enervating field cause its toggles and you use them in hami(iam not sure but guessing)!

mmmmmm...
didn't think about that detail, other than the distance on how far away the GM is from the holders.. but I don't see an issue with that idea there.
I'll speak with a few people and see what we can do for you - sounds like a decent enough plan. But, if we have spare, I'm more than happy to give you the odd one or two where needed, to help out, as we do have Kinetics SBing us as well, during the Holding Phase.
damn damn damn bugger!!!
Looks like I wont be leaving work until 8pm tomorrow, so I'll alas miss the mito phase at the very least!
I'm going to logout on the hill tomorrow morning so that the moment I get home and turn on my PC I'll be in place to help!
Streekz, if you can run your team as normal, that would be cool!
Rorix, can you step in and run the scrapper team until I get there? If anyone wants to join the perimiter defence, please invite them to the raid channel, provide costume info etc
Lost, I've made you an operator on the Raid channel
I'll be here most of this morning, so if you guys wanna know anything, or chat about anything, grab me in game!

Hamidon Raid Perimiter Team
Perimiter Guard! Defending your raid needs since umm... today!
First off, I have to thank the following people for their support of this idea and helping make the teams a success.
From my own perimiter team.
Mongoose
Kriminal
aldwych
Dead Sorrow
Crimson belt
Felicia Nox
Krusty
Also, Streekz01 and the guys on his team, as well as the healers that assisted with the GM's. Apologies for not getting names, but hopefully we can rectify that soon enough!
Overview: The perimiter teams, on their first outing successfully engaged and defeated 5 GM's during the raid phases, with little interruption to the raid itself, or damage to those taking part in the raid. Callouts to the teams, communication and overall effectiveness were absolutely spot on and I once again give my thanks to everyone who took part in this! Everyone taking part seemed to agree that the perimiter team was a success and more importantly, kept GM prescence away from the group that performed the actual assault on Hamidon!
Updates: For those of us taking part, or wishing to take part in future perimiter duty, a channel has been setup called Raid Perimiter Guard which over the coming weeks we can use for discussing tactics, keeping in touch and for use during the raid.
Please please please only use this channel if you are actively participating in the community perimiter defence for raids!
Costume: as in the picture above, anyone joining a perimiter team should add the hazard tape design to their raid costume.
The setup is as follows:
Yellow base color, with black detail.
Blast bot helmet
All body pieces set to "tights" with the pattern "Sharp"
Again, please only use this design if you are part of the perimiter team.
Future plans: Because of the rapid response nature of the perimiter team, it may be nessecary and is open to discussion to use voice communication software, or a macro to announce the prescence og GM's or enemies that are making their way towards the perimiter, this can be discussed here, or on the perimiter channel.
If anyone wants to discuss the perimiter team, please do so here or on the appropriate channels on the server itself, any and all suggestions that are constructive will be greatfully appreciated!!
