HAAT Raid Rules - How Does Your Guild Do Them?

Adelka

So, my guild started doing HAAT raids a couple weeks ago and are easily over the hurdle of needed extra teams or mercs to help us out. We clear each phase in 2-3 hours with players to spare.

We are brainstorming other possible formats to the HAAT raids. We currently have each phase start on 12-hour intervals and all can attack once per phase. When phase is done we wait till next one starts, then we all send in one attack again. When we started it was never a problem as it took a while to complete each phase so even members sleeping when a phase started could wake up to that phase and still attack. Now they are ending so fast not all get a chance each phase.

So, I'm just polling the community to see what other guilds doing HAATs are doing. I have a feeling that this will ultimately turn into something similar to Rancors where everyone gets a 0 damage run to get on the boards and then FFA after that. But I wonder if that's best.

Thanks for any replies. I appreciate any suggestions.

We just do P1, 2 and 3 open from start to hit. Max of 7 hits per raid and 2 hits per phase. When P4 opens there's a 12 hour pause and then it's open to be hit

Rules ??? Just Zerg, it's much less headache

1 attack on each phase if you missed p1 you can use your p1 team in p2, the no dmg in p4 till 7hrs from raid launch. Pretty easy complete heroics in 7hrs is fun lol

No rules except hope we don't lose.

We have set launch times. P1 and P2 are FFA. Once P3 is reached, there's a hold until we hit the 24 hour mark. During that time, anyone who has not yet hit the raid can send a sacrifice to get on the board and ensure rewards. At the 24 hour mark, we go FFA on the rest.

FFA with different starting times for each raid

Raid starts at 5:10PM EST and is open immediately

Phase 1 - 1 attack per member
Phase 2 - 1 attack per member

No damage past there until 5:10PM EST the next day

Phase 3 - FFA
Phase 4 - FFA

At least 14hrs of 0 damage. Zerg. Rotation of starting times and raid days.

What drama!

OP, we do it quite simple, as shown below. No stupid rules, no holding folks back.

@ everyone Please see detailed Raid schedules below. All times EST. As always, no preloading.
__Rancor Zerg:__

2/22, 8pm: Zerg P1-4
__AAT Zerg:__

2/23, 9pm: P3 & P4 Zerg

24 hour zero hit then 1 attack per member for each phase. Whales are happy because they hit a lot harder each phase so end up top 3 or so everytime.

Open early for practice, damage starts at posted time.

P1: 1 attack only
P2: 1 attack only
P3: FFA
P4: 1 zero team to clear B2s and cannon, no hull damage. Then 1 attack only for damage.

HAAT takes roughly 45-75min. from start to finish with only around 25-30 members participating.

Essej

@66homunculus, what?

LordStyling

P1-3 free for all at a set time

p4 free for all at a set time

66homunculus

Lol, you should see our heroic Rancor raids that take under 25min with top 15 all solos. (;

Essej

Sounds like the worst FFA (with weird rules) that excludes half the guild for no reason and can't be tracked by anyone...thumbs up though

Essej

Congrats on 15 solos for rancor in 25 minutes btw

66homunculus

Why would anyone need to track that, sounds like the worst job ever, lol. Other people score zeros if they'll miss, so no one loses out, so all 50 get rewards.

HAAT P1-4

I understand what you said but a simple "ffa" would've made more sense...
Also not sure how this helps the OP either as it seems that they want more people to be able to participate...
Also guessing that the full auto rancor landed you out of top 15 since you didn't t solo it.

naw it just gave some swag to it
lol

Taxman

Our rules are everyone allowed 1 attack in each phase. P1 and 2 done on day 1 and P3 and 4 on day 2.

Given it takes at least three days to be ready for another hAAT there doesn't seem the need to rush it and this allows everyone best opportunity there score some damage.

Exactly

No rules except for don't hit early on preopen. Otherwise, zerg, kill those droids and get on with your life.
