HERO Hamidon - Sunday, January 31st

Posted

In the past, Triumph struggled to keep raids going because only 1 or 2 people were responsible for coordinating the entire process from all of the initial preparation to the last push of defeating Hamidon. When the Hami Kill Squad was formed, the group decided that raiding would always be the effort of a team. With that in mind, this week's themed raid is going to be symbolic of the team approach to raiding that has worked so well for Triumph.

In addition to the raid, HKS will be meeting in Pocket D afterward for a costume contest. Because the entire event (raid & contest) may go a little longer than normal, we are going to start the raid early this week. Without further ado, It's my pleasure to present on behalf of Hami Kill Squad:


The Crazy 8 Hami Party
We love filling up the Hive with full teams, and that's what we're doing this weekend!


Sunday, January 31st, 2010

5 PM Eastern / 4 PM Central / 3 PM Mountain / 2 PM Pacific

HKS is all about teamwork,
so we'll all be wearing the number 8 on our chest.

Feel free to join us!



The After-Party will be held in Pocket D.

Anyone who is unable to make the raid,
please feel free to join us for a low level costume contest.

Huge prizes for the winners!
(Prizes will be awarded to level 44 and below only.)

Be prepared for a fun event!

Get your costume ready!

We're going to fill the Hive and Pocket D with some crazy 8s!

basically, if you see a miki on Triumph, it's probably cute and it's probably me.

Huge thanks to cuppamanga and all the folks in the mac help forum for prolonging my borrowed time on this game.

Thanks so much for reminding me!

I'll be farming some EoE tonight. I'll announce in HKS.

Keep an eye on the channel each evening because we'll have several excursions lead by different people.

How about a little more detail for us non-natives? Is the channel I need to join called HKS, Hami Kill Squad or something else?

Sounds great. Everyone look for Fallenz to lead the EOE gathering on Friday, January 29th @ 8 PM Eastern.

It's his peanut hiding habit I fear...

I got my Crazy 8 costume ready to go (hearts on my boots, diamonds on my gloves and an 8 right in the middle of mah boobi... errrr.... chest. And nothing else of course :0 )

Since this is intended to be a full *team* effort, if you have been through a few of this style of raid and would be comfortable holding the star for a team, let Cath know by PM (and let him know what team you'd like to run). Crazy 8, yeah we got your leader right here! Crazy 16, ok we got another leader to get you through! Crazy 24? OK, who invited all the dang scrappers? Heeeeeheeeeeeheeeee!

Cool, a Sunday raid.

Let's not neglect gathering Bio Nukes as well. Perhaps we can do this after the EoE run tonight.

It just occurred to me to mention this:

The longest part of a Hami raid for us is team set up...

When you arrive in the Hive, it is extremely helpful to state your AT *OR* the team you should be on. For instance, generally scrappers should be on the melee teams BUT spines scrappers do very well on the ranged teams. PBs and WSs can be on almost any team depending on their personal play style and power selections - melee, ranged, hold or tank - so especially for the Kheldians, please state the team you think you would help the most.

Also... when you arrive and announce where you should be - give us up to 5 minutes to find you a team before being concerned! Sometimes, we have to balance teams out ("We will trade you a kin-fender for your emp-troller") before we find the right team for you. Sometimes we have 2 full teams and you are toon number 17, and now we need to set up a third team ("Ummm... 17 divided by 3 is 5... no 6... no5... AHHHHH!"). Also, sometimes we need more information before finding the right place ("well, "I like to hit things" covers several archetypes - can you be more specific?").

...but we are getting much better! Soon we will just flow like a tide across Hami. Team formation will take 5 minutes. Runs will start with "Gather. Buff. Go." Mitos will fall like rain. We will be able to take the bloom without leaving the goo. [Cell Death] will become commonplace. Raids will go in 20 minutes, and with a 10 minute reset, we will do 4 in 2 hours for crazy merits - we will FARM HAMI! I see a future where all toons are equal importance. I have a dream... a DREAM, I tell you!!!

Ahhhh, crap. Yeah, I guess it is all a dream. This won't happen anytime soon - and I didn't shoot JR.

Heeeeeheeeeeheeeee (and yeah, I guess I should lay off the caffeine)

I'm planning on being there Sunday. I'll be on my Dark/Dark Defender by default, but I'm always willing to switch up if there's something we else we need worse as people start arriving.

I should be able to make it to help with EoE farming for about an hour tonight if we're still starting at 8:00 EST. (Unless I get stuck at doing things at work or something - eww.)

I can now imagine this very vividly, you on a podium giving the CoX version of the "I have a dream..." speech with an anime style glint in your eyes and a clenched fist. It's very funny.

Unfortunately, I'm out of this one because my net at home is down for an undeterminable amount of time, but BAB willing, I would try to make it for the contest if I do get back up in the next couple of days :<


I don't want to neglect my toons, but...

What, no plans for a team with matching costumes, each with a different letter spelling out E-I-G-H-T ?

I'm hoping to be there on my long neglected Kin 'fender.
