for some reason after the bud drop, there was a mass surge of GM activity, without anyone aggroing them!
looking into it, hence having to call for a fall back to eden for everyone not fighting!

Possible undocumented addition?
Hami's "tools of doom" avenging his demise?
i've done some checking with a few peeps and there was definately NO aggro from players against the GM's and we had a total count of 7 inbound after Hami and the buds went down.
We might need a raidwide exit tactic if this is the case, all perimiter teams did an amazing job holding them as long as they did, luckily due to the amount of GM's a lot of people sensibly TP'd while this was going on!

I was there more than I wasn't, which was nice.
Until I get my connection properly fixed, I'll go solo.

I have faith in our P-Guard to keep us safe, no matter what happens.. 
the attention we recieved from those GM's after hami died was strange but everyone done great to deal with them, ty tsum and spine for leading us perimiter guards the way you did, its your leadership that made things go as smooth as it was
PS. hmm maybe a few WB nukes for thew end might help deal with them next time. just a thought.

thanks for the kind words Raz, we always have and always will do our best! If there is some kind of large number M counterattack, I still think a retreat order for those going afk after the raid might be an idea, current PG numbers can slow down and hold off multiple GM targets, but there is a time limit on it alas!
Definately running some badges and missions this week, try to strengthen the guard even further for future raids

Clocking in guv'nah for more Hamidon fun! cya friday!
Hawkblaze reporting for duty =D, Time for some BBQ amoeba burgers
Hawk
Bah!
I'm away for the weekend, so no Hami-o for me this week.
Good luck all.
Thinking of coming to the next raid, how long do they take nowadays as only ever done the very 1st successful EU one
They are tending to be about 2 hours... with a start time of 7pm (and that's kinda team building start time) we're usually finishing up with jelly and ice-cream by about 9pm
find me: @Ebon Hawk or @Jayd Dragon on Union
Or at the rate we're going, and like it was last week.. about an hour or so 
Nice probably Mr M and I will be there as 2 Trollers.
Have a quick question
Miss M is Ice/TA and dont see any mention of EMP arrow in the list of holds to use, is there a reason for this or is it just missing in error.
Think I'll pop along to this
i have no knowledge of emp arrows effects, i think its likely to have been ignored due to the flashiness and i believe it drains a lot of end, will have to find out.

Well it takes holds and is targeted aoe with the same effect radius of Glacier.
It uses about 15% of the end bar and prevents the user end recovery for about 20 seconds.
Ive done a test on it and even with no regen its easy to keep Block of Ice, Ice Arrow & Glacial in constant use.

45 mins to an hour to get started, about an hour to actually do.
I have tried to log into CoH nice and early for the raid. Unfortunately, Tiscali have already started to block me from getting on at 5.30pm.
Last night I could not get on until 11.30pm. I will keep trying but if it is like last night I an not hopeful of being able to attend tonights raid.

there was definately a GM counterattack this week, no doubt about it in my mind at all!

Seconded, and it may be related to what I noticed a Hamidon Bud doing - running away while I tried to kill it. Could be that the Buds are running while being targetted by AoEs, and pulling them to nearby GMs?
that would only account for a small amount of the GM's that attacked us, not to mention the counterattack when the Mito's were taken out!

Great raid tonight was a much more enjoyable experience than My 1st raid, which was the very 1st successful EU one!!!!
Mr M and I will be regular attendees from now on.
Big kiss to Satanic Flash for the swop of Hami-O too!!!
It was my first raid tonight, and I had lots of fun. I now have a nice shiny HO for when I hit 47. xD Extremely good raid.
Shame about the 160k debt though :P
it happens
next raid is 23rd @ 7pm gmt
still amazed at some of the people who are showing up with lvl 50s yet completely lack common sense, here's hoping it gets better again
