Bismuth.3165:

is that infinite light?

yes, look at the end of the video

Finally the forum isnt bugging anymore, here it is, my lvl 48 mossman solo on mesmer, it says ‘sort of’ because frankly I did not get that many direct hits off, because of all his stealth and quick attacks. If you dont like the music, well that’s just a shame, I apologise.

Me soloing mossman at lvl 48 fractals, took way to kitten long, but that might have to do with me not being in melee range all that long and him stealthing all the time. Sort of melee, because you know.

Zelyhn.8069:

I think Sander soloed the archdiviner in cliffside 48, didn’t he?

never was solo in there might be possible the Point is on 48 you don’t melted in 2 seconds if you have aggro of the cultists on 80 you get melted also with only the 4 cultist on you so I guess a really defensive build might manage to do it… I don’t see the Problem in the Boss itself but mostly in the cultist that spawm in the middle Phase where you have a big diffrence in killing / surviving if they are around 82 with some 83 at scale 48 or all at lvl 84

anyway I’d like to see a vid of it if he did it:)

Horrible quality, and its just the first archdiviner, not the cultists, on lvl 80 btw, not 48. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eVHRanhbbiI
mossman was done yesterday, putting that in a serparate post aswell

TexRob.5183:

The only problem with these challenges is that some classes have it so much easier. Would be nice if you gave rewards for the fastest of each class. I know it’s your money, so not trying to sound unappreciative, but it would make it more interesting I think.

This is true, if a lot of entries are submitted we can see how we handle rewards, I may throw in some too(eventhough Im participating >:D)

drpy must do his work better.

Dub.1273:

I just don’t do CoE and have so much gold that i won’t notice 5 more or less.

Well we’re not supposed to do it in the first place >.<

And as people have already been doing, I should be up for the job aswell.

trippulthreaddddd

CryxTryx.9208:

I just watched the Guardian one and I noticed in phase 3 Lupi never does the bubble attack that requires stability to escape.

Why is that? What triggers Lupi to want to do this attack?

movement. and a certain distance

Darthaemos.6370:

I don’t want it to fractal levels to be account wide, because then ANET will make the dailies account wide also, just like they did with dungeon tokens.

Right now, I have two characters at higher than 48, so I get to do two 48s and two 38s everyday. And yes, I do this on a lot of days, not because I need anything from fractals, but because I like it.

nice, finally someone who actually enjoys it and doesnt moan about rewards

probably because they think that if you are good at one class that doesnt mean you can do it with the other, you have to prove yourself again.

spoj.9672:

Zelyhn.8069:

A player can hack only once. This means that all five members of the group will have to hack in turns.

What if we wanted to try it 3man?

Then the challenge is to find 2 more friends

lol kudos, that’s some dedication right there

Arc DLad.2194:

i’ll give you all the fractal eapons in my bank (18 of the 19 available in doubles) for a fractal sword which i have been trying to get since fractal launch.

sincerly,
an unlucky thief player

I would just wait for the higher levels and potential fractal weapon boxes to be released, everybody suffers from the fractal curse.

Sincerely,
A lucky mesmer who had to salvage unwanted fractal weapons for inventory’s sakes.

There will come a day when we make a new thread, but it is not this day.

Wethospu.6437:

Oh yeah, I also forgot to include Stability.

Anyways would soloing a level 80 Fractal be a nice challenge? I think Snowblind might be doable.

I don’t think ‘might be doable’ is something that fits in this particular thread, try the solo champion thread, the 200g thing. But I don’t think snowblind is particularly skillbased, more than patience based ^^

PBag.7450:

Wethospu.6437:

Kill Bloody Victoria without using a stun break (includes teleports) and without anyone getting downed.

Just did that fight on way to Frost solo. Here’s my first attempt on Frost ever. I solo’d all of P2 CM to get there. I’ll probably be trying to find a group for it to complete the challenge. Here’s a video of my first failed attempt!

Interesting, I would like to have emanuel comment on the legitimacy of the try, incase it wouldve worked.

Areann.1304:

@Frost challenge: a d/d ele still has a range up to 600, does this count as melee? Is evasive arcana allowed since it can damage on dodge. Is all condition removal prohibited, like the water traite?

Yes all condition removal is prohibited, no exceptions, its not about skills range, its about how close you are to the boss, its fine even being a longbow ranger standing in melee range.

PBag.7450:

Can you range turrets + Golems?

Follow-up if answer is No: So attacks that bounce?

I believe so, I’d avoid bouncing attacks though, they’re not allowed to hit Frost.

Any other questions should be asked to the challenge master, he’s in the ascension guild.

Bismuth.3165:

Sanderinoa.8065:

Maw agony, exactly.

How much AR do you need to survive maw agony in level 80?

According to current math, you’d need over 900 AR to even survive agony at lvl 50, so there is really no making sense of that, Anet blocked off the levels in a very solid way, once the levels get released, it wont be by making enough AR available, it will be through lowering the agony damage done by the maw.

Emanuel.9781:

Rules:
-Melee only, no attacking from range allowed. summons/minions/phantasms that attack at range must be summoned/used in melee if you use them, ANY WEAPON IS FINE

I think with this he means your weapons are allright as long as you are in melee range.

Bismuth.3165:

Sanderinoa.8065:

Bismuth.3165:

Do you get anything worth it from a fractal 79, if not, then why?

Because we enjoy it ;D

Why don’t you try doing level 80 then, or will you die from the maw agony?

Maw agony, exactly.

Bismuth.3165:

Do you get anything worth it from a fractal 79, if not, then why?

Because we enjoy it ;D

This thread is now sticked.

Ah so this is the new and quality content for dungeon players and hardcores that we have all been waiting for.. Thanks arenanet.

Well sometimes you have to find things yourself if they don’t get thrown at you, next patch includes a new dungeon path, its possibly hard aswell, no use complaining right now, and definitely not on a where you know you’re not going to get constructive feedback.

Agreed, rT doesn’t really do many FoTM runs at the moment, though Im hoping it will increase once more members come in, aside from that, Im sure it will once higher levels get released.

To OP: I would consider Define [HC], their name pretty much seems to sum up what you’re looking for.

Orochi OP please nerf. btw that link you sent for it stinks

Emanuel.9781:

Hmm, Frost in CM Path 1!

Rules:

-Must be in direct melee range to attack, if not in melee range(<200), not allowed to attack
-If minions/Phantasms are used, they must be melee types(example: p. berserker/swordsman/legendary Brown Bear)
-Only allowed to attack with ranged weapons(in melee range), no melee weapons allowed(Engineer grenades are banned for this, thief shortbow is sorta questionable)
-No Projectile reflection/absorb skills
-Must fight him in his spawn area, no Line of sight-ing allowed

Optional:
-No condition clears(including Thieves’ Withdraw, Guardian’s Healing of Resolve, traits like Cleansing Ire)
-No destroying the Rocket Turrets/Golems

Any good?

I dont know frost but its sounding pretty hard :P

Welcome to the dungeon forums! Ill be your guide, this isnt exactly a forum anymore, its more of a place where a select group of people discusses things and often annoys each othere, we’ve tried calling out to the devs before but they sent a crowd controller to silence us then, Arenanet does not seem to be very concerned with dungeons at the moment, and considering they don’t actually have a dungeon team, I am hardly surprised.

Broadicea.8294:

and then blow your own brains out because you still play this game and care too much

As some people are still enjoying themselves I don’t like the way you seem to look down on those who are doing so, some of these threads do take a turn to the extreme though, but that’s mostly to blame to the people who keep on insulting and trolling each other for fun.

Anubarak.3012:

Soloing Simin without glitching is impossible since stability abuse and standing inside her for never getting petrified is a glitch. I dont think it is possible without that method because you cant do enough dmg while you have to throw tears

Edit: what about Melandru :P

Ha! I didnt even think about that, and as for Melandru, I’d like to use a nice quote from Brazil :

If you do that, I’m going to cut my arms off.

TheKillerAngel.3596:

I’ll consider that. Do you suggest any other bosses that are ludicrously difficult, if not nearly impossible to beat 1v1?

While I should be having quite some expertise with that, the only things I am currently thinking of are second archdiviner and mossman at high lvl, but archie is mainly just a horrible pain with his cage fettish and mossman…mehh. Ill think of something though

Also, getting simin out completely may be a good idea, simin isnt a hard boss, she’s a dps test

I personally started a new project with a friend aswell: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/dungeons/The-Ascension-Project/first#post2918499

Yes see I like this idea and all, but you might want to adjust some things, if we’re gonna put a time challenge and allow all classes, warriors are going to win, the shaman is literally impossible for 5/8 classes, and on lvl 48, I agree, godmode, but while Ill be as stupid as to actually try it, Im quite sure its impossible. Lupicus has been done so many times you can just be directed to https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/dungeons/Compilation-of-Lupicus-Speedclears/page/5#post2873671, and start handing out money, put something like, sub 5 kill for warrior, sub x kill for class x, people wont be starting anything if they’re not motivated specifically.

Looks pretty legit to me, goodjob emanuel, Im sorry if it was a bit boring ^^

Predator.9214:

Off topic in an already derailed thread. Just when I thought it cannot get worse.

I hate to admit it, but if that’s really true you haven’t been on the dungeon forums enough.

In the meantime, don’t mind me, just observing.

or go for the challenge https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/The-Ascension-Challenge-Vol-1/first#post2893625

I agree with klaz too though, starting fractals sounds like a good idea, but it all depends on what you enjoy.

Condi warrior OP please nerf

colesy.8490:

Top PvE guild? You sound like a bunch of filthy elitists.

oioi, AIMING to be a bunch of filthy elitists, mind you (WARNING: not actually aiming to be elitist)

rT , aiming to be the top PvE guild in EU,
will be monitoring this event and potentially inviting those who complete the hardest of challenges, those who are interested can mention so in their submissions.

P2 and p3 are your best options, 3 is done pretty often and 2 is pretty kitten easy too, once you join group it’d be smart to atleast listen to everything people have to say, arah can be quite tricky, and as a necro you aren’t going to be welcomed with open arms in most PuG cases. Running with a guild is your best shot on getting its quickly.

Fear not, for this is only the beginning.

Warning: Hammer of the cultist is not an actual rank

Dub.1273:

Sandy you gave this guy your kitten?

Wait what

Forgive cookie, he’s used to the dungeon forum, things tend to go a little differently over there. If your thief build is really as immortal as you say, That is most certainly useful for soloing things, but depending on whether you are soloing open world content or dungeons, warrior may be Preferable because if well done you can skip a lot of time fighting a boss, and time=continued focus=difficulty.

Personally I don’t really have much to offer to the thread, Guardians seemed to be the best solo choice to me, because his name says survivability and is a little under warrior in damage. I personally havent played enough classes/builds to really make a solid statement though.

Celly.5912:

Because lvl 79 Fractals is the only challenging content in the game. Orr stuff isn’t a challenge :/ But Fractals has amazingly terrible loot though.

He’s not exactly being serious, you can see that in his signature too.

if not solo its hard to check though, 4 people could jsut run with UI, we cant see it if only 1 person vids

Okay edited it, you like this better?

Well excuse me, rT has no imagination, personally Im just glad Im not doing it, but suggestions are welcome
