I should be able to get my Empath/Dark fender to fifty and slotted decently before this... So if someone gives a good clear instruction on how to lead a specific team I'm up for it. Never been at a Hami-raid before, though, so no experience to pull on; but I am a reasonably quick learner.
Excellent, people are starting.
And it was my pleasure Lawrence.
(And one of the people I wanted to be part of the leadership is the OP, so this goes out well)
I'm up for a meeting with you and the rest of the team leaders. And maybe Hana Li will be up for it too, I'll ask. Hana would be interested in leading a strike team though (well taunting the yellows at any rate).
I got a few other people on a list that said they wanted to help, so maybe combine it there (hi Effy )
It does not matter in the end if the raid is led by Lawrence or me (or anyone) as long as we get a success.
Oh.. and the raid date need to be earlier on the day though, 7pm tends to be late. I would rather it be early primetime then mid primetime, in case our first success will be a longer then 2-3 hours raid. Just thougth i'd mention it. Since generally the spawning of Hami, (now you get that cowered in your post), making teams and talking them through it takes some time.
What is important though Lawrence is getting all the team leaders together and go through the strategy first. Getting each team leader to know their teams role so they can convey it to the rest of the team. So that strategy session I hope will be soon and not on the same date which you have set to be the raid.
Also, i've been reading through the Hami notes from our friends across the pond, as well as a nice readthrough of the raid done by our friends on the Zukunft server. They did a really nice raid in the Kerensky Memorial Raid.
Soo, since I've said I will be a coordinator (in the future) I will not say no to a team leader spot. So sign me up. (Blaster or emp (was thinking of coordinating with my emp))
My thought for the strategy session was to get 8 people together. 7 potencial team leaders and the one coordinator. 1 leader for the Tank team (with around 4-5 people), 2 Strike team leaders, 2-3 Assault/green teams and/or Ranged team and 1 added extra team. Now technically i've just mentioned less then 7 teams. This is to prevent us from having to teach a team member to be team leader if an emergency hits one team leader or DC hits him/her hard. Thus the more in the know of the plan, the better.
Got to stop typing now or I'll complicate things more I think.

Okie Cokie, were getting somewere, Lady Arete, If you could Speak to Hana it would be much appreciated as i was hoping i could get her to lead one of the Taunt teams, and i'll step out of Main hami taunt team and if you could run that one for me with your Empath. Then i can concerntrate on running the overall raid.
As for the time issue i am willing to drop it to 6pm GMT, but i think earlier than that will clash with people's evening meals, feeding/bedding kids etc....
Zoph, if ya can geet upto 50 before the raid we shall see were we can put you, but wouldn't like to confirm any definate leadership position at the moment.
Effy as we spoke last night you know your going to be in seph's squad.
As a provisional date for the walk/talk through i was looking at basically any night next week, but that all depends on how quick we can fill the leadership positions, and also when people are avalable, if we have to spawn him a few times, then so be it.

I'm up for this Will be on my Shield/SS tank, Crowd Pleaser. he's fully setted if that's any use to ya
Have done a few hami raids on my emp, so it's not too new to me
I'd like to bring along my rad/rad defender (my only level 50 hero). I'll try and talk some of my VG people into getting on their heroes aswell. So that's another 2-8 people depending on who comes.
I'm even willing to lead a team if you're still in need of leaders.

Yay for more people becoming aware of it~
Have been spreading the word a little too. More people, yay!
As for my participation, lvling is going very smoothly. sals and the TFs they make so quick ftw<3
I'd like to target my secondary build specifically at stuff like this, anyone got any advice towards how my emp/dark will be most efficient here?

I'd personally make sure you have your heals 6 slotted and optimised for heal/rech and a bit of end redux ( I quite like 5 doctored wounds, cheap and decent bonuses), I dont think i can say anything that you wouldn't have thought of yourself, as you're quite a smart guy|

I'd think about grabbing phase too, so you can escape out of LoS should you get targetted. Also i'd grab Recall Friend. If the build is gona be specifically for the raid, i'd look at 2 slotting rez for rech too. Slot Fortitude for defense as opposed to +ToHit. Oh and i'd go Power Mastery for Power Boost, for tasty heal others so you can avoid using absorb pain too much, hehe. Tbh, i can't think of much you'd need to slot differently for the Hami raid than normal pve/Tfing. Everything i've said above pretty much applies to normal PVE, hehe. Sorry if any of it came across as patronising

And not really anything I haven't considered (other than phase, but might go for that if the build doesn't turn out too tight); and it definitely helps to get some input agreeing with my thoughts on it.
One thing:
Group flight, yay or nay? I'm gonna be squishing flight in there for sure, just wanna know if group flight is awesomeness for raids or if it doesn't matter, because I've never seen much use for it elsewhere (stealth/invis+flight+recall friend gets everyone to the needed places in my regular playstyle).
Quote:
Nay imo. The range of this power is too unpredictable with people dropping out of it plus the -tohit can be a little annoying. My experience as an empath on the past few raids showed that at times, i would be darting about in order to rez non team members when i had a spare rez going (my emp has 2 rezzes thanks to the dayjob accolade) |

I don't think your build will be too tight, as you should only take 3/4 atks as healing and buffing is what you'll spend all of your time doing, with no time to atk really. My emp has Super speed and super jump (I found fly to be too slow, just personal preference) and phase, with 3 atks from the rad set and all the empathy skills.
Hey guys hope all is going well, as some of you may know i have been a bit ill with the flu of swines for the last few days and so i aplologise for me being quiet.
I am hoping to arrange a spawning of Hami for Wednesday @ 7pm gmt so i can walk/talk all team leadres (and any other people that wish to be in the know) through what they shall need to be doing throughout the raid, to ensure a smooth Operation one the day.
Also the week commencing 25th i'm going to be on a late shift so i'm looking for a few volunteers to try and gather a few ppl together to farms so EoE's in preperation for the raid on the 30th, i have some stored in base, as i'm aware a few others do aswell, but i would rather have way to many than way too few, so if you feel upto the challenge please put ya best foot forward.

Sorry to hear you're feeling so bad! I'll be around on wednesday for the spawning. as for EOE's, i'll wait till we meet up on the wednesday to sort out who can hang around one of the nights to farm for them, i know have about 20 left in the base. I'll fill up the base with them as much as i can, then as team leader my team will have access to my base and the insps and collect as many as they want (must remember to allow access to everyone, lol)
I hope you feel much better soon!

I shall be there with Fire Dancer (kat/regen) unless you need another AT. I have emp/psy, kin/rad defs or tanks as well. Already have EoEs stored up but may need another farm for more.
Nice to see you again Zero
Gonna try this with my broadsword / regen scrapper..Chastity Girl. Let's see if the Hamidon can stand up to her 'Power of Purity!'

Theres something very wrong about that
I will be farming EoE's on friday at 2-3pm GMT. IF you'd like to join, send me an ingame email to Crowd Pleaser, or offline msg stating if you'll join me or not
Also, if I could hook up with someone to talk me through what i missed at the run through, i would greatly appreciate it
Well guys it's time to enter the breach again, but first i would just like so Thanks to Lady Arete who was thrust into the Lime Light last Thursady and did an amazing job with the time and planning she had. Thank You.
The raid is Scheduled for the 30/01/10. Before the raid commences i'am trying to gather some level headed people to lead some of the teams that will be put together for the raid, but before you sign up to please be aware there will be some extra effort needed from the individual leaders as i will have to inform you as to what you need to do as a unit, and then you need to pass the information of what your unit needs to do onto your team.
Also at some point im going to attempt to get enough members together to spawn Hamidon, so we can have a walk/talk through of what each individaul element of the raid should be doing. Plus a little bit of EoE faming here and there just to ensure we have enough.
So please before you put yourself's foreward for a leadership role within the Raid make sure your aren't going to have any problems with the previous items stated.
The Teams and Roles that i Need filling..
Raid Leader - Sgt MP Lawrence
Hami Taunt Team Leader - Sgt MP Lawrence
Taunt Team 1 Leader - Position Vacant (Tank or Empath)
Taunt Team 2 Leader - Position Vacant (Tank or Empath)
Scrapper Team Leader - Seph V2 ***
Blaster Team Leader - Position Vacant
Controller Team Leader - Position Vacant
Auxillary Team Leader - Position Vacant
(*** Indicates Second in command)
(Auxillary team will consist of spare support/damage toons)
Ok guys, thats basically what i need at the moment, If you feel your upto the job and believe you may be able to fill one of these roles please contact me with a message here or in-game (@Sgt MP Lawrence) and lets see if we can get this party started, i will edit this post as and when post's are filled to keep you informed.
**Please note, multiple people may apply for a position, and if this occurs i will make a decision as to who will fill which role. Please don't take it as an insult if you aren't picked over someone else, its just the way the cookie crumbles**
