P.S The best moment ever? Tridento used a bind for mistake while was using our mighty targeter: "Odins Son, may I borrow your brain? I'm building a moron"

This made me laugh when I read it, I must have missed that on the night.
There was a bit of a jump start, but this was about as bad as it got, so for first time new raid leaders, I think things went well overall.
I think the call in future should be Hami Tank, raid leader, targeter, whoever they are, to ensure mito phase only starts when confirmed aggro consolidated.
By the looks of invention, some pieces will drop with the new style smaller Hami raid, so I don't know if people will want more raids or less before issue 9, guess will have to see what the reaction to once a week is.
Be good if the day at least alternated to allow people the chance to attend at weekend and in week as an option in my view.

That and there were only seven PA droppers as opposed to the usual two full teams, one of which repeatedly kept suiciding because he wanted a closer look.
There were more than the usual number of screw ups this time around, and pretty much all of them could be attributed to the groups on the ground. How many NON-HOLD players did we have arsing about during the hold phase for example? Ice Patch, Fulcrum Shift, and a number of Spines attacks for example were all going on during that phase when the people responsible shouldn't have been anywhere near Hami.

Well the important thing is that we pulled it off.
Gen: Now I know that the PA have to be dropped to specific locations, next time I will know to lead the tank team there. In the beginning the Mitos were anything but aggroed though and my empaths were dying like flies. And when we had to keep moving to avoid the clearing group it got problematic because there were areas without PA coverage. I suspect this all was just there not being enough PA droppers
Next time I hope the raid leader - whoever it will be next time - will wait for the PA to be consolidated, after which tank team goes in, and then wait for the tank team to consolidate the aggro and stay on their feet for more than 10 seconds, and only THEN lead the clearers in. I suspect it would lead to less deaths overall ^^. But hey, like I said, was bit more chaotic but we pulled it off. ^^
The brawl phase was anything but brawl phase, people were attacking Hami with abandon and pulled aggro off me. Obviously thats not my headache but next time I hope people are bit mroe careful with their attacks.
Well, this is not a criticism, Hidden did very ok. Just bit more patience next time
ps. hidden called for everyone with holds, so it may have appeared there were lot of no-holders (well, there were) about.
