I'll be there for my 2nd Hami raid with D. Structor. I got the kill in the end so I think you need me lol.
I'm fire/fire blaster so I don't mind what team I'm in (GM/Hami) just let me know and I'll help as much as pos.

[/ QUOTE ]

If you were a blaster last time, how did you get the kill as the holding phase is limited to Controllers holds with support from Rad Defenders?

lag is an issue on Hami raids and the guide fleshes out the reasoning for limiting the hold phase to Controllers where numbers allow.

[/ QUOTE ]

Iirc last time they had all AT's except Tankers/Scrappers doing holds.

Edit: I may even need you in the starting formation if a few of my previous team-mates cannot make it. What Builds are you and Leese?

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm a MA/SR. But I'm fine with going after the Mitos if no space is available on the GM team, I just felt like a change.

[/ QUOTE ]

Ok, I will still try my best and see if we can get you and Krunch in, no promises though, and tbh you'd probably be better off in the mito, very stressful monster patrol, Mr. Apollo will back me up, ooh and Flush

I think your tank would be better for this round

K, I didn't say that you weren't in on the monster team 100%, I strongly reccomend you come along to the raid anyway, I'll have a list of reserves for the monster team; you and Leese will go straight at the top of the list So don't think you're not in the team, there still is a pretty good chance.

Good to have OotCS's support, thanks Cambo I think the last thing on my checklist now is making sure we have adequate numbers in all fields. Just a team of 8 on monster patrol, and a sufficient number of PA's being dropped and co-ordinated well. Also the main mito group needs to have a good amount of people in there; should go fine though. And I'd just like to thank everyone here on the forums who's shown an interest in the raid here, you people are what make a Hamidon Raid special; and a thank you should go to Hidden Healer, who kindly is helping me lead aswell. I believe he will be giving most of the details over on request, and any security/formation issues will be covered via request by me.

[ QUOTE ]
If I am correct so far we have.

Krunch Ma/Regen (Scrapper)
Flush EmpElec(?) (Defender)
Maelwys Invun/? (Tanker)

I want to save a few spaces for Fox Baser's that have said they want in, names to follow soon.

[/ QUOTE ]

Right, situation for monster patrol team is that I'll be using the same people as last time; if any spaces come up due to any last-time'ers not being available on the night and I believe you are a suitable build for the team then I'll put you in

Oi Flush, will need your 100% empathy Defender on my monster patrol team if you please You did a fab job last time, and I hope you can make it again this time!

Cool; so I think all that leaves un-marked now is PA drop co-ordinator

[ QUOTE ]
At the moment I dont have any previous engagements so I should be available to tank or target or just plain look impressive.

[/ QUOTE ]

I think we may need you as Hami Tank Hammer if you wouldn't mind? I think it was Odins Son who usually does the targetting; would be great if he could make it again, if not I'll find another suitable targetter. Anyway if you could be Hami Tank Hammerfall then that would be superb

Right, after alot of negotiations, a Hamidon Raid has been set up. Hidden Healer will take position as main raid leader, and I shall co-lead and also be leading the monster patrol team. This raid will take place [u]next sunday 7:30PM GMT Gathering in The Hive, 8:00PM GMT Start.[u]

***THOSE NEW TO HAMIDON RAIDS OR ANYONE UNSURE, PLEASE READ THIS GUIDE.*** This should help with any queries you may have. Thanks to Archy, Xanthus and co. for the guide. Anyone who is still unsure on how a Hamidon Raid works, or any other questions please forum PM me or Hidden Healer asap or send us a global tell (@Captain Alpha 01 & @Hidden Healer), or you can just reply to this thread .

Monster Patrol team listings to follow guys, and I believe Hidden is sorting the arrangements for the other positions at this time; any volunteers who wish to be Hami Tank, Targetter, PA Drop Co-Ordinator can send me a message or reply to this thread, as at this time I'm a little unsure as to who is doing what, but some feedback on volunteers would be appreciated.

Thanks for your time and good luck!

So Captain Alpha ready too lead a bunch of heroes? Are you hero enough? Maybe were better of asking someone else.. (/e Attempt to make Alpha have something to prove, thereby lead the raid.)

[/ QUOTE ]

Hehe, gonna have to try a little harder than that, but the way things are looking now, do I have much choice ? Will make a final decision a little later on and post it tomorrow night.

Edit: ooh on the subject on GM teams, yes I'll admit they are in some cases un-needed, especially when the raid is running short on numbers for the other primary teams. May i reccomend that a GM team is prepared prior to the raid, and if the numbers are sufficient, we have a GM team, and if there isn't enough people for the mito clearance, scrap the GM team and send 'em to the mito . But in all honesty, if i do end up leading, I would do my very best to push for a GM team. However the experience from last time taught me that there is perhaps a bit of confusion created when a GM team is in operation. I had non-GM team assigned players pulling GM's towards my team and just had a whole handful when un-needed monsters were being pulled. I think this time round, if a monster team is put into action, alot of prior notice is needed to all players outside the monster team i.e. though request via raid leader to stay out of the way of said monster team, as they're doing they're job, and you do yours . Those monsters, in the wrong places can be very tricky, especially when you have unassigned players going for them, and without a monster team or a properly organised monster team at that can mean a failed raid.

I dont have and have never had end problems with invulnerability.

[/ QUOTE ]
Im sorry but unless you have 2 end reduct SO's in every single power with invul you will have endurance problems.

Especially if you have tough n FA

[/ QUOTE ]

Every single power? Even Dull Pain? Sorry but I think you'll find that your end problems may not be primarily be coming from your invunerability set. I have 1 slotted end redux on temp invun, unyielding and invincibility and I very very rarely have an end crash.

[ QUOTE ]

Well I can always jump onto TS War_Man during the Hami Raid, whether I'm the monster co-ordinator or Raid Leader. Would make communications alot easier (besides, the new headset needs some useage, havent used it since my old days at WoW ) I'm sure no matter who steps up for the roles of a Hami Raid, if we keep our communication and co-ordination all in line then we'll do fine next time round. Main thing is just to have a laugh and look forward to a shiny new Hami-O!

[/ QUOTE ]

Translates this as.. Yeah I (Alpha) will lead the raid, 7.30pm outside Hive next Sunday night?

K

[/ QUOTE ]

lol! Well I still don't know for sure, I'll leave it a few days, if no-one still hasn't come forward as leader then yes I will lead.

Edit: As for times, I have no idea. May i suggest people post available dates/times and we work from that. Next sunday 7:30 meet 8:00pm GMT start would be ideal for me, how about the rest of those thinking of coming along?

Yeah been a bit quiet from them recently Hami-wise Mael But tbh I wouldnt want another improvised raid like last time without the set structure like the others usually are done. It was fun I'll give ya that Just a little strange when I had 4 hulking monsters on my tail after 30 seconds ^^. If someone else took lead that would be more ideal, I really belong co-ordinating the monster team; want to try a second attempt now I know how the playing field works in that sector! However if push comes to shove and we're out of potential candidates for leader, I guess I'll do it .

Well.... I guess I could give leading a shot, a few people said to me that I should try it; would really prefer just leading the monster patrol team again though . But if I have enough support, time and interest, what the heck, I'd be happy to lead the next Hami Raid if no-one steps forward!

Try Posting it here Flush, would be a good idea to add your supergroup to the recruiting list.

Best of luck on the recruiting mate,

Hello Defiant,

UNIT ALPHA 01 + UNIT ALPHA 02 is currently looking for active new heroes, we have absolutely no worries what Level, Archetype, Origin, Powersets etc. you are, just as long as you're online with the Unit every once in a while, and also show a considerate, helpful and light-hearted attitude towards fellow supergroup members and all other players of City of Heroes/Villains.

Background: Founded in November 2005 by SGT. HAVOK and his other friends, UNIT ALPHA 01 worked it's way up through a laid back and friendly motive towards leading their supergroup (those of you curious i joined in December 05, and just worked my way up to help lead ). When the Unit had eventually been filled by many new applicants, UNIT ALPHA 02 opened, a second supergroup which would have the same attention, attitude and principals devoted to it as UNIT ALPHA 01 had.
We currently have 27 level 50's serving in UNIT ALPHA 01, and now are hoping to bring some more higher level characters into UNIT ALPHA 02!

Anyway enough with the history lesson! So here's how it works, drop me a tell (/t @captain alpha 01) and I'll see if space is available in UNIT ALPHA 01, and if there is, lucky you! However if UA01 is full, you are more than welcome to join UA02; where you will recieve exactly the same respect and warm welcome as UA01 members.

We have a forum which you lot can check out prior to joining, and if you do decide to join, I'll be on there quite frequently to answer your questions/discussion topics The URL is www.unit-alpha.tk

So thats it, so if you're ready for some fun remember UNIT ALPHA is here to help you along the way!

Cheers,

Capt. Alpha 01

P.S- For your villains, UNIT ALPHA RENEGADES coming soon!

Hey as is said earlier Flush, excellent idea, always nice to see ya putting all these ideas into action! Yup as Flush said above, drop a tell @captain alpha 01 if you need a channel for this purpose (as mentioned above yet again ) Ooh also, if you're a new player to CoH, be sure to ask Flush about his sg, Paragon School for the Gifted, currently coalitioned with the sg I'm in, Unit Alpha 01

Cheers and see ya in the channel for those who are subscribed,

Capt A
