I was trying to keep them regular, but someone always seemed to change the Raid channel MOTD for planned raids to details of one the same day, then not put the details back afterwards!!!

Grr!

any room for a certain katana wielding scrapper?

I had several raids planned on "union mothership raids" channel's MOTD, but some swine kept changing the MOTD for their raids, so nobody showed

Welcome to Union, if you can ignore the ( rather worrying ) Atlas Park broadcasts, I'm sure you'll find Union as fun and inspiring as I do!

A few channels I'd recommend...

Union Badgehunters - absolutely brilliant group of people who 9/10 times will be right there to help you get, or offer up the missions for select badges!

Union Chaat - No matter the subject, whether its ridiculious, non game related, stupid etc etc, its disucssed here ( I'm STILL hoping for the temp power we invented with the miniture swimming pool full of girls ) - well, it normally starts on badgehunters and ends up here...

Mothership Raid Chat - keep an ear open on this channel around the level 35 mark, there are regular announcements and combat chatter from the Rikti War Zone raids!

Other things to look out for:

Roleplaying in Pocket D ( alas I forget the night, sorry RP'ers but I can't plug your night - need someone to jump in here with times )

There are also a lot of regular names to look out for on Union, best bet is to say hello on the channels above and the regulars should do the rest

since they made him much harder to raid yes, i think there has only been one raid. Before that a certain Muffin toting someone had us ganking him every friday!

they need to do something really, if they do an accolade for beating Hami, it needs to be something worth putting the time in for!

It would probably be called "never going back to the Hive" or something, most people would get it then say never again!

I still think Hamidon would be better off as some kind of tentacled mutant beast ( kinda like the sewer hydra but more DE style ) but even so, the old raid with some of the new features parhaps would be better, the new way is just lame.

We actually had spawned Caleb without knowing it, because of his incredible invis, and the fact the sneaky bugger flies around, we didnt see him!

Still willing to run this again tomorrow though!

question the first, Hami has to be spawned by killing the Hive GM's

question the second, in terms of raids, since they made hami stupidly hard, pretty much guaranteed a large amount of debt, with very little of that being offset by the reward for beating him, its too much hassle for everyone.

I suggested organising a raid on Union Badgehunters, which we might still do...

In conjunction with Union Badgehunters, and after several hours of spectre slaying, a small group of us are at a loss as to how to spawn caleb, having tried various versions of the conditions needed.

So, I'm thinking thursday evening, 8pm - Nerva Archipeligo, we arrange a horde of everyones most powerful and badge needed villains and let the slaughter commence!

if anyone has DONE caleb since I10, please please post up here what you did!

See you all later!

TZ!

half of the challenge of PvP is knowing when to activate these powers, just constantly spamming them would be a bit of a detraction. PvP is hard enough for some builds as it is!!!!

probably since they made it so boring that nobody can be bothered to take him down = no data to look at! lol

This became the point of discussion on badgehunters channel earlier, there is a LOT of support for Hami to go back to being the fun, cooperative endgame content, and community focal point that he once was.

The current version is well... a bit pants.

the old Hami raids were fantastic fun, I can understand the changes and the reasons for them, but its just not fun anymore. Guaranteed death, less fun, reward is availiable from the SF with much less organisation and hassle.

change it back please devs.

I have a little something else that might be worth trying if people are up for it, the bit where we suffer the greatest hits, even using the turtle formation is during the bomb setting stage.

So if people are willing to try it, I have a plan...

We get a team of 8, comprised of tanks with a supporting healer. These tanks act as physical, and power based blockers, allowing the chosen bomber to plant easily. When the bomb does blow, the tanks hold aggro so that if anyone is injured in the blast, they arent also being attacked by Rikti at the same time!

If this sounds like a good idea, lets give it a whirl, but if there is anything I've overlooked let me know or tell me I'm daft!!

I'm gonna try and adjust it later in the week, as for another raid, reckon you can gather the forces for 9pm wednesday!?

for the toggles I use 5 slots.

Luck of the gambler set:

Defence
Defence / Endurance
Defence / Endurance / Recharge

A standard Defence IO
A standard Endurance IO

This gives 3x 10% regen and 3x 1.13% extra health as well. Combined with 2x 10% regen from using 2 sets of Scirocco's Dervish on 2 of my Katana powers, it gives a decent bonus


For practiced brawler, its 3 x defence IO, 2 x endurance.
With quickness as another power it's perma with a good stack on it for when it recharges!

I always tend to aim for the 9pm mark

you're not the only person to point that out, ill be working on a revised version very soon!!

apologies for double post, but I have it on good authority that this Sunday, 19th August there will be daytime and evening mothership raids!

I know there are lots of you still wanting your raiding badges, and many of us still have scores to settle with the Rikti, so dust off your raid costumes, change in those vanguard credits for some extra temp powers and lets take it to 'em everyone!

yeah, needs some tweaking still I know, feedback taken on board, adjustments to come!!!

Inspired by the raids over the last few days and having watched Star Wars on sky, I decided to cook up a little pre death star... uhh I mean mothership briefing

Check it out here!

I have been working all morning on a simple briefing in flash. ( inspired by the bit in Star Wars where they plan taking on the Death Star ) Its incredibly basic, but try this!

thanks for the kind words

Tonights raid went well, mission accomplished as usual. but there was a learning experience from tonight. The turtle only works if everyone uses it, we suffered some serious casualties when a few people didnt move forward and aggro'd a respawn from the saucer, and another incident where people decided to try and solo the Elite bosses from the centre while we were trying to take the edge of the centre!!!

methinks I'll be putting together a full raid strategy tomorrow morning
