Wygram 23 Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 okay, I am willing to die again. However if we have some new players I will be content to go explore and just kill thing. We need more players, which is why I say this. As long as it is not a PUG... the last one with Mr Big was a pain and challenge. No ones fault but I am beginning to hate PUGs. Link to comment
lujate 578 Posted November 11, 2012 Author Share Posted November 11, 2012 I took Kiyeri and Wygram with me yesterday to recon this dungeon. One of the two random players we picked up asked if Wygram could make it, since he was two levels below the recommended minimum. I told him Wygram was a trooper and would be fine. I think we all would have been fine if that same guy had not just bailed without a word right before one of the big boss fights. The other player stuck with us, and we fought our way tooth-and-nail to the final boss. Kiyeri found the "Easy Button" way to take him down and we succeeded. Link to comment
Kiyeri 34 Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 (edited) Wygram was NOT the weak link in that party. I do have to say tho, after completing it... It was a challenge and in hind site it was fun. What a sense of accomplish finishing it with just 4 of us. Kudo to us all. EDIT: oh and count me in please too Edited November 13, 2012 by Kiyeri Link to comment
Flooxim 49 Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Just before saying yes, I wanted to say that I heard this dungeon was one of the longest one. How much time do we have to plan for the run? Link to comment
lujate 578 Posted November 17, 2012 Author Share Posted November 17, 2012 I do not remember exactly how long. Wygram, Kiyeri, what do you think, a couple hours? Link to comment
Wygram 23 Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 (edited) About 2 hours, some of the areas are a real PITA. Edited November 17, 2012 by Wygram Link to comment
Flooxim 49 Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Count me in for this one! It's been a while since the last time I had some dungeon action. Link to comment
Flooxim 49 Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 The run went pretty well. I recorded the whole run and will post the best moments soon. And Scleameth got a Superior Rune of the Forge. I'm jealous. Link to comment
lujate 578 Posted November 24, 2012 Author Share Posted November 24, 2012 I think that may have been our smoothest run yet. I forgot to start recording at the beginning, but fortunately Max had my back. Link to comment
Flooxim 49 Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 (edited) Here's the first part of our run : Edited November 25, 2012 by Flooxim Link to comment
Schot 407 Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 That's one tough robot! Nice annotations max. Very good point that first one. Not easy to do sometimes with so much going on. What is it that made this run more smooth than others. Simply stable servers? Link to comment

Not easy to do sometimes with so much going on. What is it that made this run more smooth than others. Simply stable servers? I believe teamwork was the key to this easy victor. We are all fairly ffamiliar with what the other members are doing and how they react. The last time we had a PUG with two outsiders. OMG I miss the spell checker.

lujate 578 Posted November 25, 2012 Author Share Posted November 25, 2012 ...What is it that made this run more smooth than others. Simply stable servers? By "smooth", I just meant that the run went better. Almost certainly due to more experience on our part. Link to comment
Flooxim 49 Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 We were well-synced most of the time and we applied the tips in the dungeon tips topic pretty well. Link to comment
Flooxim 49 Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 The rest of the dungeon run did not result in very good footage (mostly because I died in key moments), so here's the final boss fight. I put it in a spoiler tag for those that don't want to be spoiled. Link to comment
lujate 578 Posted November 27, 2012 Author Share Posted November 27, 2012 Thanks again to Kiyeri for finding that safe spot. Regarding the boulders, like I said on Saturday, I did not use them because they did less damage than my auto-attack. Guess the game just likes you better. Link to comment
Wygram 23 Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 I found a nice safe place and was killing the lava worms so Max and Kiyeri could use the boulders they left behind when they died. Traded out my sword for my rifle, seemed to work out okay. Link to comment
