Posted: Thu Jul 02, 2009 1:53 am Post subject: July Goals
AH July Goals:
1. Continue MMM flagging until we have enough flagged that it isn't an issue when constructing groups
2. Attempt each MMM event
3. Begin farming MMM loot
4. Solve the issue of too many raiders per expedition
Targets we'll be killing (in no particular order):
MMM
Rottrued
Queen Mal
BMK3
Soulbleeder
Wirlem
Octa
Steam Factory
Big Bynn
Deepscar
Scorn
Your Personal Targets:
1. Boost your resists! Through MMM and Cryst we'll be encountering more and more AEs. Your resists, spell shielding and dot shielding will often be the matter of life or death. The Ancient Werewolf Skull or similar resist clickies are well advised, as are the group MPG trials and AAs in the general tab to raise your resist caps.
2. Continue to develop your characters. Watch other raiders of your class for neat tricks and strategies. Adopt the good ones, and recommend they drop the bad. We're a team and what's good for one of us improves us all, so lets help each other be the best we can be. _________________ http://www.spamhelp.org/harvesterkiller/

SWEET, I guess since you mention crytalos in personal targets that will be in August goals, hehe. Also, alot of the SoD items have clickies that can boost your resists as well. Of course mine are maxed for my AAs and I have the DoN increase but still need 3 or 4 more MPG trials to get all of those. Come on 51% exp bonus weekend, hehe.
Great job so far all and lets keep this train rolling on. _________________ 85 Ranger|85 Shaman

Getting to raid Crystallos will take quite awhile. Step 1, clear all of MMM. Step 2, do it again, and again, and again, because each raid only drops 12 flag pieces when you kill Meldrath.
However, anyone who hasn't done the group key for Crystallos needs to put that on the "to-do" list.
Yeah, what Zac said. It'll take us all July to learn and win several of the MMM raids. Probably all August to learn and win the remaining ones. Then the next month to start getting everyone cryst flagged. It's really hard to give any better forecasts than that because we're entering very new territory, and serious raiding. Expect to be doing lots of annoying deepscar/demi raid clones with us needing audio triggers, ducking and running and hails and cures and all that fun stuff.
Cryst is better than MMM for stupid scripts so we'll be trying to get to cryst as fast as possible. We'll be spending time on most events from MMM onwards learning the scripts and working on strats for them. Other than it being a steeper learning curve than we're used to, it's hard to say how fast we'll learn to beat them. _________________ http://www.spamhelp.org/harvesterkiller/

One day I might finish my MMM flagging. Been trying to get a group for weeks without any luck for the beza/zeka docs. Maybe the next expansion will increase the level caps and I can just solo it.

1. No level cap increase next expansion
2. I have seen alot of beza/zeka runs lately. _________________
Our plans are always fluid in AH so we're not controlled (too much) by the bureaucracy. We're going to focus more on SoD than we had planned when the July goals were planned, and take our time in MMM. This means we won't be wearing ourselves in MMM attempting encounters over and over until they're beaten, and won't try to rush through MMM in a month or two. Instead we'll be beating and farming the easier SoD and MMM encounters and then periodically hitting new MMM/SoD targets at a rate of 1 or 2 per week.

Done! We continue to have a healthy turnover of apps which will necessitate occasionally hitting the mmm flag raids, but we do now have enough flagged that it'll be rare to have piggies sit out. On our final MMM raid for July we had 5 piggies of a raid of 54 (for 54 we can have a max of 9 piggies).

Fail! We changed strategies midway through the month though and decided to focus evenly across MMM and SoD. We also didn't have much available time with us having so many key farming events (bmk3, bimbal, rottrued, and queen mal).

3. Begin farming MMM loot
Done! Two kills on Krond now puts the event on farm status. We were expecting BK to be our first farming event in MMM, but Krond works too!

4. Solve the issue of too many raiders per expedition
Unsure! We didn't come up with a good solution, but have entered the summer slump with a great deal of success. We had peaks and dips in our attendance with 45 one night and 60 the next. Over the summer period this is to be expected, with people going on vacations or spending time with family. On the nights with 60 we have usually been able to put the extras to work, accomplishing things like Exploring the Mansion (many thanks to Cobrawastaken!)
Summary
We have certainly entered the harder targets which has slowed our progression down. This is to be expected as the difficulty of the events have finally caught up to the equipment we wear. However we are now farming the best equipment of AH history and at an extremely fast rate. We've also used this month to promote more SLs and RLs, and bring them up to speed with all the behind-the-scenes work. This should help reinforce AH's long-term future as well help in the short term.
