Good, count me in for the next raid then
And do i still need the taunt power?

[/ QUOTE ]

its certainly not 100% nessecary to have taunt, but it can help



The guard sure are swelling in numbers I'm really glad everyone enjoys it as much as I do! I'm looking forward to friday, bigtime in fact!

we always need reliable guys for guard duty

yes, forgot to mention that, the additional rad support did increase our damage output nicely!!!

Count me in, working early this week so I'll be there from the start!

exactly one weeks time, same time and place

likewise Crimson, I noticed halfway through one of the GM intercepts a broadcast going up

"always nice to see the perimiter team kicking [censored]"

which made me feel really really good about guard duty! The perimiter team really is working nicely together and it's great to see people actively asking to help out


I have to say once again, a big big big thankyou to everyone involed in the raid, especially with the lower numbers and everyone that helped out with Guard duty!

So far, I think the perimiter teams have taken down about 8-9 GM's in the space of two raids, with a lot of support from the raid of course, but its nice to think each and every time we report a breach and stop them dead what could have happened but didnt!!!

Is it possible to help Mito clearing and be part of the Perimiter Team?

[/ QUOTE ]

course its possible! There is a perimiter guard channel, im sure if you talk to Streekz or Rorix at the commencement of tonights raid they can invite you!

As for the macro, copy and paste the bold text I put in my post directly into your text entry bar in the chat window in CoH itself, and it creates a grey GM! button on one of your power trays.

If you see anything heading into the raid team whilst the perimiter is up, target the monster or incoming foe, hit the button and move to engage the target!!

just so you guys have got it, the bind I've made is...

/macro GM! "request Perimiter Breach! $Target incoming!

damn damn damn bugger!!!

Looks like I wont be leaving work until 8pm tomorrow, so I'll alas miss the mito phase at the very least!

I'm going to logout on the hill tomorrow morning so that the moment I get home and turn on my PC I'll be in place to help!

Streekz, if you can run your team as normal, that would be cool!

Rorix, can you step in and run the scrapper team until I get there? If anyone wants to join the perimiter defence, please invite them to the raid channel, provide costume info etc

Lost, I've made you an operator on the Raid channel

I'll be here most of this morning, so if you guys wanna know anything, or chat about anything, grab me in game!

no problem, looks like we'll just have to make do lol, fantastic work by all last time, so hopefully nothing will get past us this time either!

its definately a good suggestion, although some healing would be handy as well. I like the idea of being effective against the GM's, but I don't know what the implications of taking trollers off Hami and onto perimiter are.

Lost and Raziel can probably answer this one better than I can

holy unintended coinidence batman!

didnt think of that one as well!!!

please... why yellow?

[/ QUOTE ]

its supposed to look like hazard tape lol, it was either yellow and black ( which made more sense as we are primarily scrappers ) or traffic cone red and white


We did bloody well covering the area, definately agree that we had the distribution down well and the chatter between the teams was superb!

I've made a bind that's going to permanantly sit in my trays, I've targeted it to the request channel for highlight, but was going to see what you guys though before sending the button out to everyone!

its really nice to have this go as smoothly as it has, it certainly helps in terms of griefing, accidents and rogue GM's coming into range!

btw rorix, your deaths for the raid were duly noted lol, I faceplanted a few times myself, but in the end nothing got past us whatsoever!

damn right, many a Hami o to be had until then, and if they do change him, we'll just have to adjust our tactics

Big thanks to Rorix Bladewing as well, who due to somg SG issues had to leave during the mito clearing, then make a spectacular comeback tour for the GM intercept!

Pleasure working with you and getting your good side!

I had an absolute blast, the teamwork with everyone involved was brillaint and from what I could tell, nothing got past us at all into the main raid group

Looking forward to next week, and future raids as well!

Hamidon Raid Perimiter Team

Perimiter Guard! Defending your raid needs since umm... today!

First off, I have to thank the following people for their support of this idea and helping make the teams a success.

From my own perimiter team.

Mongoose
Kriminal
aldwych
Dead Sorrow
Crimson belt
Felicia Nox
Krusty

Also, Streekz01 and the guys on his team, as well as the healers that assisted with the GM's. Apologies for not getting names, but hopefully we can rectify that soon enough!

Overview: The perimiter teams, on their first outing successfully engaged and defeated 5 GM's during the raid phases, with little interruption to the raid itself, or damage to those taking part in the raid. Callouts to the teams, communication and overall effectiveness were absolutely spot on and I once again give my thanks to everyone who took part in this! Everyone taking part seemed to agree that the perimiter team was a success and more importantly, kept GM prescence away from the group that performed the actual assault on Hamidon!

Updates: For those of us taking part, or wishing to take part in future perimiter duty, a channel has been setup called Raid Perimiter Guard which over the coming weeks we can use for discussing tactics, keeping in touch and for use during the raid.

Please please please only use this channel if you are actively participating in the community perimiter defence for raids!

Costume: as in the picture above, anyone joining a perimiter team should add the hazard tape design to their raid costume.

The setup is as follows:

Yellow base color, with black detail.
Blast bot helmet
All body pieces set to "tights" with the pattern "Sharp"

Again, please only use this design if you are part of the perimiter team.

Future plans: Because of the rapid response nature of the perimiter team, it may be nessecary and is open to discussion to use voice communication software, or a macro to announce the prescence og GM's or enemies that are making their way towards the perimiter, this can be discussed here, or on the perimiter channel.

If anyone wants to discuss the perimiter team, please do so here or on the appropriate channels on the server itself, any and all suggestions that are constructive will be greatfully appreciated!!

Perimiter team will be there again, just typing up some notes and suggestions now boss!

We'll be serving breakfast and coffee at the usual time hehe

pleasure to be of service Lost

apologies for multi post but update as follows.

Hamidon Raid perimiter team

Perimiter team members are to be organised on the night from the scrapper and tank teams, with places, or command spots for the second team if nessecary going to experienced players from the last few raids.

players who are definate about taking on perimiter duties, should alter their raid costume, to a yellow base color with no aura, cape or additional detail. the color scheme is scrapper yellow with black trim using the sharp pattern, to give a semi hazard tape look.

once inside the hive, the perimiter team will assist our raid targeter Streekz01, in the mito clearing phase, taking additional care not to intefere with the PA drops or tank team.

Once the mito's are clear, the perimiter team will move to the edge of the Hamidon Jelly in a 360 degree distribution, adjusting position as nessecary to give full coverage of those inside.

once the brawl phase is over for those inside, players who have already brawled will be asked to leave the perimiter, with the exception of the hold team for obvious reasons.

The perimiter team will also have to go in and brawl, but we will do so only when we are 100% sure that there is no danger to the raid in us doing so.

a 2 team perimiter would be beneficial as one team can maintain the perimiter while the other brawls, then falls back into place.

Once the hold phase begins, the perimiter team will hold position. If a GM is aggroed or starts to move toward the holding group, the first priority is to alert the raid as to the situation.

This is to take the form of a bind, which I will create tonight, and post here after work, general jist of it is

PERIMITER ALERT $target INCOMING.

This message should be orimarily directed at the request channel or team chat so that other perimiter members can respond.

Please note, that if you alert the raid as to a target, do so and immediately attempt to intercept, or draw away the GM. perimiter team members will be on their way, and the person furthest away from the GM can alert the rest of the teams, or the hill to the threat and co-ordinate a response.

I hope that is a clear enough idea of the plan, if you guys have any questions or suggestions, please let me know!

I managed a lucky escape, the rents were going to impose a family dinner out friday night right i the middle of the raid, talked em round to a chinese take away that night lol

Anyone wanting details on the perimiter team, please check the "a few good scrappers thread"

well the whole GM business will be sorted with the perimiter team

thanks to everyone that took part in this, was a fantastic team and apologies for the confusion when I ran off to intercept that ambush!

ooh I'd be up for this!!
