Always had a lot of trouble with the Shiro fight until now.

It's also prompted me to finally get off my duff and finish some dungeons.

Thats not that big a deal, Ellys solo shiro with a single hero

(The hero doesnt do anything important but run around, your still pretty much killing shiro entirely on your own)

True, but it's a big deal to me.

Before Normal Mode Shiro meant that I'd have to zerg him into oblivion four or five times until I finally got lucky and took him down.

Now I can get him on the first try in Hard Mode.

That being said, I'm not the most skilled player you'll ever find. But hey, it works!

Vanquish, yeah..you read that right....VANQUISH, UW under 2hr..including my diarrhea breaks w/ 7 heroes.

Does that count toward an area for Leg Vanq title?

Got 3 ectos and 1 ruby. Not bad for 1K entrance.

People are still -getting- the heroes and are still upgrading them and such. It would take a bit longer to see how things go.

The only char I have that had all heroes was my main. Now I'm rolling everyone else through nightfall and gwen :/

But I already got what I call Oblivion-syndrome. In Oblivion, that's a single player game, you can't have a conversation with your companion. So you get lonely and then you go to embark beach and find some noodles to help out.

Vanquished Sacnoth Valley for the first time in 1 hour 19 minutes. Two party wipes occurred, but I did so much better than usual.

So it's going great!

My heroes FAILED me. I thought that with how easy things are going for everyone, I'd try to get master's on Gate of Madness (normal mode even!). Well, things were going smoothly, I had killed the Lich and had captured 3 of the 5 Shrines. Then all of the sudden, *POOF*, the end of mission cinema is showing. My heroes killed Shiro in the time it took to walk between the various shrines, leaving me two shrines short

Go for Shiro first, and bring spirits.

The Lich gets easily distracted by the spirits. The guy loves hitting them.

Also, as I recall from doing that mission, I managed to get Shiro stuck in a corner by pulling him out far enough - he just stood there and did nothing.

Anyway, I'm having fun with the update. My main is the only one with all of the heroes, and I've done three vanquishes (Jaya Bluffs, since it was the ZV last night, Perdition Rock, and Raisu Palace...why those ones? Why not?) and cleared Stygian Veil, just because I could. I'm also setting up teams on my other characters and doing WiK on the other two that have it unlocked - I steamrolled Riverside Assassination with my Assassin.

Thats hilarious. I've seen shiro get close before just with SoS + minions trailing behind the group, but never actually die.

I highly recommend against killing him first through. Lich just dies way too quickly, 1 hero left unattended for 10s would probably off him.

MisterB · Mar 05, 2011, 05:40 AM // 05:40

For Gates of Madness, it really doesn't matter at all which you fight first if you flag your heroes ahead to cap the shrines before the Lich or Shiro turn hostile. Just stay out of earshot range from the door and flag your heroes to each shrine.

I'm loving the seven hero parties.

Bullfrog · Mar 05, 2011, 05:44 AM // 05:44

And being able to micro all 7 heroes pays off! I got masters by killing the Lich, then disabling all the offensive skills on 4 of the heroes. It felt just like 3 heroes / 4 henchies again

I've never been able to get the "flag your heroes ahead and let them capture the shines" thing to work, but then again, I've only tried to do so twice.

You may already know this, but just in case you don't...

I learned from doing that mission that you aren't just limited to flagging heroes on the round compass map. You can also flag them on the "U" map. You click on the flag beneath the round compass map like usual, and then just drag it over to the open "U" map and place your flags. That "U" map displays the location, and status, of each of the shrines... so you basically just move your heroes from one shrine to the next, waiting for the one you've flagged to change colors before moving the heroes on to the next shrine you want them to capture.

I played for months without knowing you could flag on the "U" map. LOL

I've been playing this game off and on for five years, and there is still stuff I don't know. Thanks

I found out that flagging your hero's directly to the shrines in GoM gets them stuck. I would suggest flagging them in the middle, count to 5, flagging them to the shrine.

EPO Bot · Mar 05, 2011, 09:03 AM // 09:03

I like it. So many custom options it melts my face.

Hint to Anet: Introduce a new necro hero in the near future and watch the forums explode in complaints of people who feel ripped off.

Guardian of the Light · Mar 05, 2011, 09:32 AM // 09:32

I managed to beat war in Kryta and complete my 30/30 in the hall of monuments.

It's fun testing crazy team builds with heroes.

I cleared wastes and chamber then i bailed cause i had to go to work. Tell me , how are the old friends mindblades? What do you use against them?

I was thinking of doing all quests in UW, but 4H would be nearly impossible and i would fail at Dhuum.

Beside that i did whole hm fow (vanquish and quests) and ToPK hm. Still want to do Urgoz , Slavers, Deep, and maybe frostmaw and see how's that going.

QFT.It's be best way for Anet to (try) mantain alive the game, after 6year and large part of players got everything.

It's the same reason because SF is still so powerful i guess.
Nerf it and half of player will say "We'll see again when GW2 comes around!".
