PLEASE NOTE THE DIFFERENT START TIME

Hero Hamidon Raid.

Saturday, April 24th, 3 PM Pacific (4 PM Mountain, 5 PM Central, 6 PM Eastern).

kidengineer will be leading the raid/coordinating the teams.

A few points to remember:
* Warburg Bio warheads greatly help. If you can please acquire one for the raid.
* The Hive is restricted to level 45+ heroes.
* The raid team leaders will use the Request channel to coordinate the teams. Please monitor the channel for instructions, but do not use it unless you are one of the raid team leaders
* It will hold 50 heroes, if the Hive fills up, do not leave the zone, there is no guarantee you'll get back into that instance.
* The Hamidon will spawn (bloom) 3 sets of Mitos at (75%, 50%, and 25%), in addition to the mitos that initially spawn with him.
* After Hamidon is defeated you will have the option of selecting 53 Reward Merits or a random Hamidon Origin Enhancement if you are level 47+.

Please pass this information on in global channels and other forums, especially the updated time.

So, this is really what we're doing? We're abandoning Villain Raids from here on out?

Alright, then. Good to know. Somebody inform Blaze Rocker and the Protector TFs channel. I'm fairly certain they believe it's Redside.

According to the conversations we were having last night, largely me saying we should advertise more, across different avenues, Blaze brought up the idea of advertising the Redside Raid on Protector TFs. So, he did... Possibly under the now-mistaken impression that there would be some Jello Shooter support for it as well.

I would have submitted the correction to Blaze myself, tonight, but I'm not currently in-game, nor do I intend to be until sometime late tomorrow afternoon.

I appreciate the help of the community. Thanks.

I am pretty sure that most of the people that usually lead the Hami Raids said on Jello Shooters the other night that they weren't doing red side anymore because of the lack of interest/attendance.

It is cool to see that someone else may be trying it though. I wish them luck.

Mr. Grey - and I am sincere when I say this - if you are so passionate about it... consider organizing your own. Perhaps on a Sunday?

You may have forgotten, or not been present for, the several villain raids we ran. The first few we had plenty of people show up, then interest died off. The last couple attempts failed due to lack of participation. Each failed raid makes it harder to get people out for the next attempt.

So.. the decision was made and announced a few weeks ago that we were going to forgo villain raids for awhile.

We did not make a half-heart attempt and then throw our hands up and walk away from it. It was made very clear that the interest in consistent villain side raids does not exist.

Now... I'll make a suggestion: This thread is for organizing this weekends Hero-side raid.

Why don't you start a thread for discussion of villain side hami raids? Perhaps we can come up with some ideas of what we need to do to reinvigorate interest red side.

Need commitment from people. I would love to, but getting people to the abyss is as fun as getting a root canal.

I'll be there with Nukes blazing.

Best. Raid. Evah!


If somebody you're arguing with goes off the deep end, don't follow.

The raid took 1 hour, 15 minutes from the start time (3pm Pacific, 6pm Eastern) until Hamidon was dropped, and the Hive was nearly full.

Well done Protector!

Sorry I missed it, was enjoy a rather stupid arguement about whose turn it was playing poker with my wife. Would have rather been in the Hive.

Now, I'd done a lot of the old raids, and very, very few new ones. Plus being out of the game for 3 months took its toll. But this was absolutely smooth as silk. Thanks for such a great return to the game, Kid and everyone
