RWZ- Mother Ship Raids

Anyone do Mother Ship raids anymore on the Freedom server? I see more in Pocket D then I do anywhere else and not many doing any other Task Forces.

This question would probably be better served on the Freedom section of the forums, but in answer to your question Mother Ship Raids, in my 4 year experience on Freedom, have always been sort of sporadic.

A year or so ago, myself, and a few others ran Mothership Raids/Cathedral of Pain back to back every Wednesday night.

To go a bit further, all it takes is 1 person broadcasting in the busiest zones, and normally you'll have 3 teams worth of people to at least take down pylons, and by the end of the raid there's around 4-5 teams worth of people who've filtered in by the time you get through the pylons.

You can also use channels to gather a few friends together to start things off, have 1 or 2 of them go around the different zones (red and blue) and run a broadcast that a MSR is being formed. Again, formation at peak hours (7pm cst - around midnight) is fairly easy, even on weekdays.

I wish you luck in finding your Mothership Raids. And if you've got one forming up, you're always welcome to send me a tell and if I'm on, I'll be more than happy to come join .

Good Luck and Happy Hunting.

I usually did MSRs with one or two friends, also eventually teaming up any player that picks up on what we're doing and wants to join. People are way overestimating the amount of folks required to do this thing. If you can complete a STF or a RSF, you can do a MSR raid with the exact same team and nothing else (it is actually much easier than either of these TFs). The one important point is you have to split up (break the team) to plant bombs. Since the league system this is now easy as you can just form a league, move people to 6 individual teams as needed, then regroup once they've got their bomb set (on teams with lowbies it's also best to break the grates first, as people won't be sidekicked anymore during the time they're in a solo team). Hang in the bowl, have some lucks handy for spike damage and a wakie for those times when rikti magis get cascading defense failure going and kill somebody, and enjoy your lagless raid.

There are Hamidon raids on Freedom server on Friday, Saturday and Sunday and they tend to run a mothership raid after each one.

I think there is a hamidon raid channel for Freedom that they alert people to it in, but it tends to be around 9pm EST.
