Hami
When you organize it
when they make it something that players can play and ENJOY rather than having a several week planathon, respec discussion and then several days shouting at each other on broadcast...
I.e put him back the way he was, at least it was fun then!

I'd guess I13 - that's when they'll introduce a Master of Hamidon badge and it'll seem like everyone will be trying at least once a night...
Still on the bright side: Gives me time to ding 50 on more characters so that it isn't always my empath defender going to Hami raids.

Since reading this thread, I've tried to read up on Hami, but it's hard getting a timeline on him, let alone current strategy.
Anyone un-bitter and un-twisted enough to give a run down of the current Hami situation?
eg.. The spawns/blooms. Originally supposed to be 1 mito for each hero in zone, but then another website suggested it's always 15 or 16 or 18... 33?
Should hold hami, can't hold him he's immune, he's not immune but can't be 'fully' held etc.
Lots of conflicting stuff, mainly because it was all true at one issue or another.
So what is true as of ... now?
He has 18 mitos, 3 types, 6 of each, antibodies with aoe blast and damage aura, weak to melee. mending mitos heal other mitos and hami and have a toxic attack, have to be held to drop their pff then ranged works best. then the electrolytes, fear and end drain auras, attack drains and fears and jumps from player to player, weak to range.
He spawns an additional set of 18 when his hp hits 75% 50% and 25%. he will only spawn extra mitos once at each segment, to prevent having to beat hami while 40+ mitos are firing away.
Not sure if he is immune to holds now, but doesnt really matter anymore. That and him and most his mitos attacks can hit through phase shift or other only affecting self powers.
He no longer spawns the 1 mito for every hero when he loses to much hp and isnt held, this was replaced with the hp markers where he spawns 18 instead, so it's not primarily about controllers anymore.
The monsters in his zone and on monster isle in PI drop EoE insps, these cap a characters dmg res to electroylte damage, the kind used by all cept the mending mitos, they're vital in the new raids, and usually a good few hundred are needed.
Thats basically it
Dont forget that hami's blast (dunno if mending as well) does a -heal. Which means that after a while if you get hit by hami long enough (which means youre hopefully tanking him ), you cant heal anymore. Not by insps, not by heals, not by anything. Only thing that'll help you is jumpin away from him and let the debuffs wear off.
For the rest its basically what lost said, its up to the players how they tackle each mito etc.
PS. forgot to mention they added a player limit to the hive, namely 50. So your plan cant exceed 50 players basically
"god, how many devs did hami have to sleep with to get ED?"

Firstly, people find it hard enough to complete normal hamidon. When you say Master do u mean 0 temps and 0 deaths? If so no1 will ever get that badge

No.
I was thinking more like defeat him 25 times, but I'd accept 10 times each with no temps or deaths. Of course, the devs will probably go the whole hog and make it no insps either. EoE is for wusses, apparently.
So - you new to the boards and took my post seriously or was your reply sarcastic? I know that no-one does it anymore.
Maybe ironically, when MoSTF was announced there were loads of posts stating that virtually no-one would ever manage to get it. Certainly not in the EU - it was accepted that a few obsessives might do it in the US. Of course the MoSTF is not as impossible as was first thought, and it may even have made STF runs more popular (they certainly strike me as having increased in frequency since MoSTF came about).
So maybe a Master of Hamidon would get the badge-nuts eager to beat old lime-jello features...

i hated the old hami! it was so like being in the army too much effort for so little reward 1 enhancement big deal just craft a [censored] IO set which no one likes!
except those enhancements are pretty powerful when you get a few of them, and being part of the "army" was some of the appeal as well as old Hami and the Mothership raids have been the only times I've seen mass PvE battles.
