Guardian Cathedral of Pain Trials

My SG and VG are both my own however they are pretty large bases and I can get CoP stuff installed in both if you need. Still need people to join to SG/VG run teams though.

Offer is there if required.

EDIT:
Can someone who was on the original raid, join/start the second raid with the same char? I'm thinking if you have to re-form the team from scratch that's going to take a while and is probably quicker to let the original timer run out.

EDIT2:

Both my SG and VG are now CoP capable. I haven't decorated yet but that will give me something to do.

How long does it take yall to complete the CoP trial?
Theres an sg on freedom that does it in 10mins. I thought it was hard.

Yep you said it in one word sg! Its harder on pug teams

Ok, I sunk a few hundred mil at the SG Registrar and fleshed out our Redside Base (Cataclysmic Evolution) and have updated our Blueside Base (The Wolf Pack Elite) so both have CoP Trial functionality. If Blueside does end up being scrubbed, we can go full vill and give redside a go.

(Kheldarn and I are the only really active members at this point, so we would need a filler for the 3rd spot in both groups, should it come to that.)

Alpha or Vixen.

When is the next scheduled run expected to be?
Trying to update the Facebook page with the current server events.

Thanks folks!

Ok, it's cutting it close for those who are switching to Villains to make it.

I'm gonna go ahead and run 5 tips on Sav today, and 5 more tomorrow, and hold her Moraility Mission until I see confirmation of a Villain CoP run.

That way, if it falls through, and/or we end up doing another Hero run, I'll be good.

Well, looking at my schedule, I may not be able to flip to Vill in time on such short notice.

Ok, RIMC will be hosting a redside raid Friday night @ 9pm EST, forming up in Pocket D @ 8:30pm EST. And I hate to do this but I'm gonna be real picky about what can come. This will be a pure villain AT raid. Unless you're lucky and your badger fits the bill, come to win, not to badge.

Since we're unable to "reset" the raid, if we meet Stormy again we'll make 2 tries at him, then scrub. Hopefully this setup will work against Big Red so I'm willing to bang my head against the wall a few extra times vs him.

And a big note, and I'll put emphasis on this several times during the raid, hold your AOE buffs and -regen debuffs until ordered to use them. I hope to try the "debuff before rebubble" tactic if we don't get him down on the first pass. No temps required, bring Shivans and HVAS if you want but I'm not expecting them from everyone.

And please note, this is an experiment, I hope to get max participation but this will not be the default "set in stone" raid build for future raids. I plan on adjusting it to make it possible for us to get badgers in once we've managed to get a successful raid. I have another experiment planned where I'd like to see lots of control to lock Rularuu down and see what happens.

See you all in the D

Semper Fi

Screw it. I've been up for 2 days, but I'll do what I can to run tips now and tomorrow to go Vill.

I juggle 40 hour days. I'll be there on Shadow (FA/IM/Pyre Tank)

Ok, I'm halfway to full on Vill with tomorrow eveing wide open to finish the job.

I'll definitely be there Friday.

I'm sorry but this is very disappointing.

I've brought chars to other people's TFs for the badge on so many occasions (I had MoLG on four chars and six runs before I got it on my blue badger) but no way in hell am I turning up to this raid on anything (including my debuffers/veat) to help out if the specifications are as above.

I'd set up my bases to help, I'd alt as needed after - hell I got up at 2am to help the last raid - but if it's "x AT or don't bother"; you got my answer.

Need not have bothered getting shivs/heavy/nukes etc.

It's your raid and your choice but from where I sit I see "bring a brute or a veat or you aren't worth a slot". Probably not your intent but it's how I read it. Such a restriction means you probably won't get the participation required. It's not as though badge characters are hopeless, normally they're well set out and the player knows their capabilities VERY well.

I would have thought it would have been possible to build a well-balanced team without making the restrictions quite so narrow. Not everyone brings their badger; I haven't on ANY run. Letting in one or two badgers per run in future? I honestly don't see that many redside runs; same as red Hami. This trial is a pita and I don't see people doing it more than a few times (once to get the badge and a couple of times to help out).

Good luck with it but no, I'm not getting up early am on the off-chance at some point in the future there might be a run where I might be allowed to bring my main.

YMMV. That's my 2p. Have a good run.

So, basically, Alpha, you're telling me not to waste my time moving my Scrapper from Vigilante to Villain, and not to bother showing up in the D Friday.

OK. You got it.

I hope A) It's a win, and 2) You're able to come up with tactics that can be used in a mixed raid in the future.

Good luck.

Good Luck, Have Fun and if you get it together for a Mixed AT run, then lemme know so I can get the badges on Shadow before everyone gives up on this.
