First “Hami” Raid
Did my very first Hamidon raid last night. That was very impressive. The leadership and organization was just astounding. I’ve done a lot of big MMO events in various games and I know it’s a real bitch to get everybody to co-operate. Everybody thinks they are the real Pro. We had probably over 50 players there and only one was the “targetter”, everybody else added him to their friends list and then assisted on him. This sounded like it was common procedure, but what amazed me is how the leaders manage to get 50+ people to assist somebody when I can’t convince a group of 5 to assist the God damn tank. All I get is, “Fuck that, let’s just blast’em!”.
Anyhoo, it was a blast. Sick came with, so I had somebody to rant to when the occasional jack ass decided to do his own thing or people just got bored and spammed broadcast with the most inane and mind numbing chatter. Always a pleasure hanging with Sick.
Came away with a Heal and Endurance Reduction HO and 400k in experience debt. But a few of us did some AV runs and I was completely out of debt in an hour or so. All in all a great night. Made me stop regretting and hating Soamend, even if just for a day.
