Plumbers Crack 4,068 Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 I've seen a number of people in various threads asking for help with raids and I started thinking - why don't we start an organised raid school? If we had a simple structure where, if you're interested in raids, you start with the VoG on normal. Do that until you're really comfortable with it and can do all the strategies then move on to hard mode. Rinse and repeat with that then, CE normal, then CE hard If the guys like Stretch, Crispy, Techno, etc who are now trying to do VoG flawless can teach people like me Mazzer, Gary, etc the VoG normal so we're really good then we can take over teaching normal while learning hard and so on It would probably be a 2-3 hour session at a time so a regular Saturday or Sunday afternoon may be better and also wouldn't impinge on evening gaming sessions I've put my thoughts out on a UK basis for time zone reasons only but all would be welcome or possibly start another one on American time zones Any thoughts people?

Baabcat 1,646 Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Sounds like a good idea to me Dave. I know VoG pretty well on normal but not much else . I can also bring a raid buddy, Charlie desperate to raid Link to comment https://forevergaming.co.uk/forum/forums/topic/2181-raid-school/#findComment-53061 Share on other sites More sharing options...

GazzaGarratt 11,066 Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Totally with it Dave. Just a few thoughts... Timing may be difficult for me to help in the afternoons as i have the kids around me. If I'm honest it may be even easier if we people register their name here with the bit/raid they want to learn e.g. holding the relic, templar, etc. If they can also put times when they are on I'd rather work around them; they might not be able to afternoons.

Plumbers Crack 4,068 Posted January 25, 2015 Author Share Posted January 25, 2015 Yep good idea Gazza - I only put the afternoon down so it didn't put a downer on peoples regular gaming My problems with VoG is map awareness (need to run it multiple times to get it to sink in), relic holding and remembering strategies...........and staying alive!

Stretch616 697 Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 I'm totally down for helping out on this, but as with Lee, afternoons are pretty much a no go due to family commitments. But i will quite happily dedicate as much time as is needed on this, as in the long run it will save everybody time and hassle. Getting checkpoints of the specific points will be the only bit slowing the thing down Link to comment https://forevergaming.co.uk/forum/forums/topic/2181-raid-school/#findComment-53071 Share on other sites More sharing options...

crispymorgan 1,057 Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 The biggest tip I can give is don't be afraid to fuck up. Running the relic is high pressure, and death usually equals a wipe. I'm happy to run the relic because I practiced and failed and the guys were cool about it. Be ammo aware. I never usually need a synth on vog. If you use a machine gun avoid picking up a purple if you've only used 5 bullets. Remember where they are and go back when you need them. If you stand on a purple and fire one bullet, the pickup is used and you get one bullet. Something I've started doing is calling out who is going to use a super. Nothing more annoying than smashing the ground full of already dead enemy. 20 hours ago, crispymorgan said: I shall also buy a monkeybike......

Baabcat 1,646 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Relic is fine, but best to practise at the Templar stage Link to comment https://forevergaming.co.uk/forum/forums/topic/2181-raid-school/#findComment-53162 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stretch616 697 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Relic is fine, but best to practise at the Templar stage This! Once you understand the basics of the relic all the other sections start to fall into place. Also using the relic helps you understand why it's important to know where you and your team mates are on cleansing phases as a non-relic carrier.

Sennex 1,903 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Does VoG have a chest in the front like CE? just curious Luke 23:34 'And Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they don't think it be like it is, but it do."

Baabcat 1,646 Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Fine by me, although I think your 2.30 start is 8.30 UK, which I need to get clearance for from my very own deathsinger. Me and Charlie will be on and ready to raid from 6pm UK time.

Plumbers Crack 4,068 Posted January 30, 2015 Author Share Posted January 30, 2015 I should be on this tonight, hopefully about 7.00pm GMT.... I think PlumbRodders may be about as well as Gary and Mazzer and possibly Jo a bit later... so that's 7 or 8 of us.....may even get two separate raids running!

Plumbers Crack 4,068 Posted January 30, 2015 Author Share Posted January 30, 2015 Rodders has just told me he'll be sometime after 8.00 so it looks like daily and bounties first then possibly two teams on VoG from about 8.30?
