I HAVE SINCE TRANSFERRED TO BORLIS PASS AND NO LONGER RUN THIS EVENT UNLESS SPECIFICALLY REQUESTED. I’M GLAD TO HAVE HELPED THE MANY I HAVE AND BEST WISHES TO ALL ON YOUR LEGENDARY JOURNEY.

Hi everyone,

Myself, Ted B, Stargate and others have agreed to get players on Gate of Madness server on a reliable schedule for Temple of Balthazar event. Several of us in map chat have organized a daily push at the event chain at 5pm PST/8pm EST.

We figure that this time will be accommodating to those working the day shift and/or attending school/college. Because it’s the time that dailies roll over, it’ll help meet those dailies quickly and it will also serve as a mnemonic tool to remember when it is.

Whether you’re lookin’ to open a big ol’ chest full of gear, you’re after a fair amount of xp/karma/silver (many mobs in quest chain to loot from too), or you’re lookin’ to purchase the Obsidian Shard for your epic Legendary weapon – we could use your help!

I’m hoping we can pull together as a server and show some community pride & unification.

Thanks,
Ray Solarblade

(PS – Attached is a picture of the southern path from the best of my knowledge. If I’m mistaken or you have something to add, please do.)

Hopefully this will take off.
Just keep letting everyone know in-game too.

Oh, and don’t forget the northern escort :X
For anyone that is not familiar with the event, here is a quick guide:

Aye, I’m hoping it will too. We went at it twice today and nearly got it done both times.

I believe our biggest area to improve on to be handling player death. It happens to all of us… but laying there dead hoping someone can take their time to slowly rez you in combat is silly. Go to Sentry, Rally or whatever the nearest waypoint is and run back. It only takes a moment and ensures both of you can resume dps-ing.

I have notified LA prior to the event as a reminder & will continue too. Hopefully people tell their friends & guild to come get loot & part-take in the events as a community. I’d like a proud, friendly, and teammwork-oriented Gate of Madness.

[Edit: Oh, and thanks for the link Crimson]

Files tickets and make ANET as aware of this as possible. It’s bugged on 90%+ servers right now, and its really annoying. The louder the voice, the more likely we are to get a response.

Since it sounds like you’re attempting to massively zerg the temple…

fyi, events scale. The easiest Temple of Balthazar I’ve ever done was late a night with around 5 or so random people. The worst was with a zerg of 50+, where more than 1/2 died in the first few seconds.

yeah, i know it scales (and won’t spawn champion etc) but I’ve had successes with more people myself. Been successful two nights running and hopefully they will tonight too (i can’t be there tonight). thanks for the insight/reminder. Perhaps when future attempts have few people, they’ll remember it’s still quite possible.

I haven’t been able to due to college but I was hoping some momentum would carry over. I will be leading it as often as I can & hopefully Crimsonrellik (Stargate/Psychic Failure) can too, though that’s up to him/her. After this week’s end and especially Nov’s end, I’ll be on with near certainty.

Until then, feel free to get people together and I’ll be there as much as possible.

Will be leading it again tonight @ same time, 5p PST/8p EST. Yesterday surprised me with how the first half of his hp went so slow, second half ramped up hard. The time before that I had tried to announce the acolytes, but couldnt due to chat suppression. Unluckil, several spawned right next to him & he nomnomed one else it would have succeeded then.

oh well. be there tonight if you can.

1) rez the downed only
2) run back ASAP if you die
3) ignore the champion
4) burn those vet acolytes mobs immediately when they spawn
5) ranged weapons can help keep you from dying to stomping attk & make seeing the red circles of death easier.

See you tonight team.
