To those on the legion raid tonight (long)

[StormriderX]

First of all I would like to say a very big thank you to all those that showed up tonight for my first ever raid as raid leader.

It got off to a bad start when albs zerged out entrance but we just came back better prepared and kicked the zerglings back to albion. After that it was a constant stream of pms etc with questions and cg invite requests heh, I can understand how censi feels now

Still it was a enjoyable experience even though I had problems controlling the crowd . I would like to say a big big thank you to the following people especially:
Raggy for dealing with the two left over items and making sure that the proceeds go to relic door relief fund. They won't generate loads of cash but its better than nothing
Terminus for showing the way to the princes cause Im such a n00b . I promise to learn the way so I can actually lead for the entire way instead of half the way etc.
Autarkis for helping me control the crowd
Fallenstar for moral support heh
Giola and Anerin for handling the mage lotto
Vhearun for handling the seal lotto (soz I can't spell your name properly )

Also big grats to Arma for dinging 50 on the raid

I hope everyone had fun tonight and got what they wanted, and the next time df opens I hope to lead another legion raid and hopefully the smelly albs won't have killed him first so we can kick his butt .

I will also try to make the lotto more time efficient - today was beta testing so to speak. I thought of a few ways to improve things etc but promptly forgot them cause its so late .

However I would like to reiterate how the raids will work in hope that pm spam will be reduced.

1. Normal items are lvl45 or more. Please don't whine to me about it during/after the raid that you can't have items because you are too low. I did point out before the raid the rules. On the flip side don't whine to me about lvl45's getting a lvl 50 item - its is none uber. Therefore 45 or more - stated so before raid.
2. Only uber legion items are lvl50 req.
3. Seals have no level limit.
4. One lotto per person
5. Class specific lotto. No mages going for tank items and vice versa
6. No lottoing for alts. The char you bring is the char you can lotto for.
7. Please stay together rather than zooming off ahead. I know most of you have done raids a lot more than I have and know the route inside out etc, but not everybody does and its better that we stay together.
8. Only stacks or 20 seals or more need to be handed in - individual seals do not need to be handed in.
9. Lottos will from now on be split into 3 main lottos.
a) Melee lotto - all armor and weapons will be placed in this lotto this means all classes bar the mages are in this lotto
b) Caster lotto - all caster items - robes/staffs/misc items with int/pow on them will be in this lotto
c) seals lotto - all seals will be in this lotto
10. Items stats will be listed before hand and again during lotto. This way you can see if anything interests you and if not you can quickly join the seal lotto.
11. Leftovers/unwanted items will be given to a specified celtic fist member to pass on to malok. These items will be sold off/salvaged and proceeds will be placed into the relic door relief fund.
12. Left over seals (should there be any) will be sold off at 10g per seal and again all proceeds go to R.D.R.F
13. The raid is OPEN TO ALL. You can come so long as a group wants you.
14. There are NO PRE CLAIMS what so ever. Of you meet the level and class requirements you can lotto for it.
15. Hand all drops to your group leader so he can pass them on to me at the end - I can only carry so much

That's all I can think of right now - thanks again to all those who came, and thank you for being patient with a crappy raid leader - I will try my best to improve .

Edit: will be checking logs tonight so I can follow up on any items that might have been on ld'ers etc.

Gratz on dispatching legion m8y, I think this is the start of many gr8 future raids.....

 

[StormriderX]

hehe sadly he was killed by the albs like I mentioned we ended up doing highlords the chamerlin gatekeeper and 2 princes heh so there was a fair amount of drops and seals to be had for all Ty for the grats though anyway

 

[censi]

Its just a matter of time Storm, im off work for a while so if you wanna raid him, I can help blast the keeps b4hand.

 

[Athralmall]

It was good fun, even though I had to leave just after the 2nd prince, look forward to the next-time when I can come along and hopefully this time keel Legion!

 

[Faeldawn]

One of these days ill be around when a Legion Raid happens

Well done overall storm - was impressed with the speed you handled the drop lotto too.

One thing though - if you see one of the group/raid leaders typing 'xxxx needs a res up the ladder/around the corner etc' repeatedly in the chat group someone please go res them.
Aside from that nicely done

 

[old.Laryssa]

sadly i LDed and found myself in Ligen after relog

missed the lotto

Gratz on the well done (wannabe) Legion Raid Stormy.. u did a great job..

Reason I call it a wannabe Legion Raid is that some1 told the old chump that there was a sale at the donut shop and he seemed to have skipped out for the day.

But apart from not teaching Legion a lesson in humility, it was great fun

I liked the feeling of total chaos in some portions of the Raid, mainly as we ran around like headless chickens looking for the Princes <Go Hibs Go>

I'll throw those 2 leftover drops to Malok asap.

Hope u get another Raid going soon Stormy ... I'll be there, if for nuttin else, then to spread the love of CF.

Well done Storm! At last I really do have a reason to look forward to being able to play DAoC for extended periods of time. As soon as I'm healthy again, look for my Bard to help out on those Legion raids.

I think it was a raid well done, a bit sad that legion had taken the day off, but it was still fun, even tho i had an average fps of 2 at best =).

A suggestion tho, as i understand it, the leftover items are being salvaged and the income from it goes to the door repairfund, why not let ppl buy the leftover items if they're interested, may get more gold for those items that way.

Hope to see more of ur raids in the future, keep it up m8 =)

Thats what I'm doing mate giving the items to malok to auction off and then the money can go directly to rdrf. The other advantage of giving it directly to malok is that I don't have the faintest idea of item's particular value so best to let someone with more experience do it Salvaging will only occur if absolutely no one wants it heh.

 

[Nemue]

Ah very good

Guess i'll give him a PM or 2 about those scalegloves if they're still available =)

 

[StormriderX]

In addition (real sorry I forgot to put you down first time round bro) - I would like to say a big thank you for blackwater for handling the cg after the game crashed on me. Thanks mate

Edits: apologies to all who were on tonights raid - simply werent enough items to go round or enough people to do legion. Big thank you for eleas for his help during the raid.
