Hi All, I trust everyone is surviving the pandemic through the medium of EnB?. i am trying to do the RD Base Raid and having a few challenges. Would be very grateful for detailed top tips on group composition, tips to break up guard groups, do and don’t’s, buffs etc please. Have seen the Forum guide but doesn’t provide enough detail. Have multiple 150’s of every type all with end game content, enough to make two full groups but must be doing something wrong as keep getting stuck at the Cruiser and his guards. Never managed to do it in live and would love to be able say I had done the raid at least once. Thanks in advanc…

Simple.   When a guild and buddies spend two hours getting ready to do the raid and then says in new players 'raid starting in 10 minutes'.            

"Here we go again" Lets get that one out of the way first........   There are no current issues between groups or individuals going on that I am aware of, therefore they would not be a factor in a discussion. Things have changed since the rotation was put in place, the server is not as it was then The issue on the rotation has popped up several times, but it is never discussed. Its simply swept aside as a parent would dismiss a child when interrupting an 'Adult conversation'. I chose that comparison because that's how MANY of you act on matters of the game, that your opinions are what matters and others know nothing worth listening to.   "If you re…

Christmas is upon us and honoring its spirit VGE is opening its RD rotation week to everyone, so grab your friends and do it or grab whoever you can find and still do it as long as everyone has fun.   Merry Christmas from VGE.    

I have run some tests over the last few weeks at the raids to study the effectiveness of selected ammo flavors.  I used a standard setup of 6 200% lvl 9 Flechette Projectile Launchers while debuffing for the maximum amount possible depending on what I had loaded in the guns.  I tested Explosive, Chemical and Impact.  These results were interesting.  I used the lvl 9 Flechette as a control to keep as many variables out of the data collection.   In the data below I am just presenting the % of the damage that actually hits the mob.  The total damage that the gun imparts on the mob is a simple addition of the first number plus -1 times the nu…

We toss these out for fun.   We time some of our raids for comparisions. To see if were slipping or improving.   Today we started the Controller raid with 2 groups and a looter and did the raid in 15 minutes and a few seconds.   The old guild record for 3 groups is 18 minutes and for comparision the wednesday raid took 23 minutes.   Gate raids 18 minutes.   Rd base is 45 minutes   GoBB typically takes us 20-25 minutes. Next time we do the raid I'll keep track.   How fast is your guild record if you keep track?

2 requests about TS and raids Please keep the talk clean, I had to turn it off today, kids in the house Please watch chat, It seems when you guys are on TS you ignore those who type, not talk  

Guilds have the option to post in their daily message times for the weekly raids, as the 'public Group' we do not have this option. Can we post up times here for expected raid times? And possibly set times so the same groups aren't doing them all the time?

I was informed today that some members of BI and Epic have decided that the raid rotation is no longer viable and they would like to make ALL of the raids a free for all. Jamoos specifically said that he was not happy that the raid triggers weren't taken down immediately and that it was BI's stance that they were formally withdrawing from the raid rotation schedule.   I would like the input from the actual guild leaders (all guild leaders) in this regard as the decisions of these few has the potential for far reaching negative effects on the entirety of the server. We have experienced the 'free for all' mentality in previous situations and it is never a favourabl…

Hello all!!!       Over the past few weeks I have had a lot of people ask me to organize raids for them, and also I noticed sometimes public waits for me to get home from work to lead the raids. I know they have the man power to do it on their own while im at work. So... im starting this thread to give some helpful pointers and tips on how to throw your raids, weither they be public or private.         Points:   1. Verify Trigger/Raid is Ready   2. Set a time frame   3. Inform your raiders of the particulars of the raid your running.   4. Inform your raiders of the loot rules  …

Good afternoon/evening everyone. Today, I attended a meeting consisting of VGE, BI and Static. We wanted to discuss the possibility of slotting DT into the current 'skip week' on the rotation we all share.   We all agreed this would be a good idea and decided to implement this beginning this Saturday Jan 10th. This first week will belong to VGE as they are the next group slotted to go into what was previously the 'skip' week.   So the 'new' rotation looks like this:   RD Base GoBB Controller DT (which consists of Scooter and McQuicken)   I would like to take this time to say that we would love to see a member of the 'public' repre…

If you happened to be around a couple of hours ago you would have probably noticed that the General McQuicken raid in DT has been spawned and i'm proud to say VGE figured it out first (Kudos Whale).   This information will be passed onto my guilds leaders to bring to the meeting, i know is planned for this weekend, concerning the 2 new DT raids and rotation.   It all started with a group of dedicated players having fun hunting in DT. We have heard others have gotten the "Spawn Triggered" message so when it became obvious we actually knew why this was happening we threw caution to the wind.   I was leading that group with my alt Amartia when it w…

Some time ago, about a year I think, it was decided by the three largest guilds to include the public in their raid rotation schedule for RD Base, GoBB and Controller. Many expressed the opinion at the time that this was a waste of raids as the public was not a big guild and couldn't finish a raid. Time has shown however that the public has not failed to take down a trigger, server willing, even though it may take hours to form the groups.   Recently it has been observed that one or more of the big guilds is only doing one raid per week on some triggers. I would say this is a waste of one or two raids to let the trigger float. If a guild is unable or unwilling to d…

PRS or Public Raid System My first comment is that this is not to be confused with the "Public Raid Rotation Slot"  This is a separate System in game for Raids for the Community as a whole   The Dev's have given us the community the PRS, during the past few weeks I have attended there seem to be the same questions asked at each raid and I think things would go a lot smoother if the info was posted so it is known beforehand. Please chime in with info or corrections if you notice any errors   The PRS Gate is near Abandoned Pathway 1  in Saturn  < X 228.94  Y -286.55  Z 0.00 >  once you have discovered the g…

 We were doing a BL sponsered raid 1 of 2 groups we had the smaller group but were there doing damage when the mob finaley went down it was annouced that 2 non trade items dropped.  But when it was time to roll only 1 of the items got rolled for and the bigger group ended up with the other item, and did not even roll for that item. IT was not fair to all involved that a guild group would do that and not give the others a chance at the uber item.We wasted our ammo just like they did but because they had more in group they got the credit for the kill, if they think they deserve the items because of group size it just isn't fair. It makes me almost not want to ev…

Ok something has been driving me a little crazy. I'm going to use Beams here just because that's what I was just looking through. My question is, in the database at Net-7 it shows all the stats of the different beams but I always thought the main one is DPS. So if that's true why would anyone use any of the ones that are below 50 which is the top DPS beam in level 7? I mean there is a ton of beams to choose from but I don't know why you would. I know there has to be an answer for this so Ill wait before I get my lev 7 beams lol. I do know about the buffs so that's not the answer im looking for. I always get the buffs I want first then I go for the highest DPS of those.

Please add positive experiences and outcomes of public raids.   Try to be 100% truthful and factual.   As always you can contact me if you wish to remain anonymous and I will post on your behalf.

There was a " talk " in game chat about all raid trigger's being FFA for a player ....  Please do not kill a trigger on a guild week .   Lets talk about it here .   What can the Dev's do to make this player happy ?   What can the Guild's do to make this player happy ?   We have a rotation set up for the BIG 3 and a public week .  Yes i know the rotation sucks , but it is better than having 30 to 40 campers at a raid area trying to out DPS every one else.   I know the Dev team has " raid trigger's " far down on the " lets get it done list " .  Lets give them the dev team the time they need to push new content in t…

I have recently had some discussions with people about what should each race/class bring to a raid and whats expected of them.   This isn't an end all be all guide for everyone but this is what I would expect a person to bring on a toon that is participating, nothing more.   Lets start off with warriors.   1. Ammo and more importantly ammo appropriate for the raid, plasma isn't wanted at the rd base so you might have to make something new. Ask ahead of time if in doubt.   2. Guns appropriate for the raid level. I have had experience seeing pw's bring lvl 8 guns to a gate raid and running out of ammo before the second boss. Please do not…

Would the regular raiders kindly inform what drops from the raids :)

Static will be running public Fishbowl and Gateraids for one week commencing 25 January 2014.   dark Cortex drop items are reserved but apart from that everything is up for grabs   These raids are open to public players with lvl 8 shields and lvl 8 weapons and above.   Any questions?

Appologies if this information already exists, I could not find it.   There has been a great deal of information posted recently about how to organise raids now that there is a public slot in the rotation. Thanks to all for that information it's very useful.   I was wondering if the more experienced raiders than me could help contribute to a list of required and useful gear that each class needs to bring to a raid.   This could include specific abilities (e.g. max Hull Patch for a TT) and devices.   This could be a useful resource for those thinking of getting involved and it compliments the other thread on organising raids.

Hello everyone, I'd like to use this thread as an area to post the time of death for Controller/Gobb/RD Base respectively.   I'd like to recommend this format to kind of streamline it for everyone: Name of Boss/Date Possible Spawn Time (Eastern Standard Time) Time of Death (Using Eastern Standard Time) Next possible Spawn time. What dropped (Optional)   To start this off:   Controller- December 17th 2013 Spawned 10am EST (Approx) Died 11:45 EST (Approx) Next Possible Spawn Time: Thursday Dec 19th 11am EST (Approximately)
