S42 - WTB ACDC

Post by noobas »

Anyone know who is the RL for S42?

I want to get this item, but, seems about as far away as anything atm.... haven't seen a S42 raid go off in oh hum, forever.

so far as I can see, this raid is just not going off anymore... I saw one about 2-3 weeks ago, in the middle of /getting ready for work, so I obviously didn't go... but, meh. I hope it'll start goign off again.

While 42 -can- be done with fewer than the 50-60 that tend to go to the public raids, I doubt it can be done with less than 25-30 (6 can do East if VERY careful but very slow and hard ... 9-12 for North, 10-12 at West if lucky). And those would need to be well geared, experienced players. Getting that many endgame toons from Alliance all online at once and willing to do 42? Doubtful. Maybe a couple of times. Not enough for all to get their ACDC.

Might be able to form 10-20 or so from Alliance and then start broadcasting for a public raid. But a PUG raid is going to need more than 30 people to succeed. There is a good reason why 60-75 are used at most public raids ... 1/2 of the people are carried along by the other 1/2. And you'll never know for sure who the idiot who pulled 20+ adds was.

The problem is ... it will wipe out a few times before people get the hang of it ... and most will quit after a few wipes.

PS. Zacix owns the 42 bots if that's what you meant by RL. Arrien would be one of the better options for coordinating an Alliance 42 ... Navian would be very useful, too.

Hyde has the right idea with numbers, I wouldnt attempt west with less than 2 teams. The way to go about this would be with experienced players & You escort teams to the zones. It requires patience from East/North Zones. RF takes East to fences then breaks of & Escorts N then west moves as fast as possible to thier tower.
If its not broken, Your not trying hard enough!!

hmm. maybe I can talk to some of the RL's for S42, and see if they think it can go.. maybe just need some support in terms of advertising. A LOT of people come out of the woodwork when an S42 message flashes on infonet/neutnet.

You can talk with me i am not only RL, but also HC (High Council) who are the one responsible for adding and teach raid leaders and punish the bad guys. :) I have great experience in leading these raids, when we look rather we have enough people or not the absolute minimum we work with is 38 and minimum is 45. I know how a setup for such raid should look like.


I know Komodo, AC, NF tried to gather for a alliance sec42.

good to know morgo.

unfortunately, for the longest time this item was considered to be not useful for MA as it had HP bonuses which we otherwise avoid.

So I have not attended many raids, maybe only 2-3. Which also mean, in the points bot I'm very low down on the list.

I'm not sure what to do about it, and my play time now does little in terms of when people are online... when I'm on is usually the quietest part of the day. :/

I still think there could be a workaround with 2 teams....

Go to east kill tower dwn to 1 blob, leave a ranged toon or 2 there.
Go to West & do the same
All go to North & Kill towers & general, run to east & pawn that gen & then the whole group heads to West for that Gen & AC.

Just requires 1-2 Enfs & plenty DD to move around fast. I think its possible in 90 minutes though. The PF is not that big.

Possibly even start the other way around as I think west is the futhest zone.
So....

All go West... get tower down to 1 blob, leave 1-2 ranged toons. Also capable of killing signal hacker
All go North & do the same
Kill east gen then North then west & AC.


Worth a try? I havent done the sec in awhile I might be leaving something out.
