So I am ready to go but I have all this stuff............

I considered giving it away at random, but, then I had a better idea.........

I don't want to give 5+ years worth of accumulated stuff to some SF / SoS / Discord dependent scrub.........

I want to give it to some peeps that deserve it........

I am issuing a challenge. It's open to all comers. (Unless you are on my ignore list, as there is no way for you to contact me)

The reward is an entire storage box full of goodies. It may not seem like much in the current GW where SF sins are pulling stacks of ecto out of UW every week....... but it's still considerable. Check the image attached to this post for the specifics..........

The challenge is simple.........

Beat Dhuum in Hard Mode.

But there are some rules:

1. All members of the party must be human. No bots. I will take 1/8 party slots and I will play along with you. I will play any class you like but I will not heal you or lead you.

2. No consumables of any kind are allowed. This includes everything. No cupcakes, no candy canes no nothing.

3. The party may not split up.

4. No member of the party may bring Shadowform.

5. No spirits allowed.

6. No more than 2 of any single class may be present.

One addendum : If the Dervish update comes out before someone takes the prize, and, if the Dervish update turns them into something superOP then rules will be made to counter that.

If you are up for it leave your screen name in a reply here. Please don't PM me here or in game. First come first serve. I will contact you within 24 hours of your reply. You must be ready to go within 48 hours of that reply.

I will continue this contest until someone wins,or, until lack of interest ensues.

If you try and fail you are welcome to put your name on the list again; however you cannot be in another group until your turn comes up.

I will not discuss this in game, except when I contact you inititally, or, when the challenge takes place.

My friends and I have done this more than once.

Winner takes all. If you win I will give everything pictured to the party leader, who can divvy it up any way they choose. (as well as 10k alcohol which is not pictured)

It shouldn't be hard at all for all you "Pro" players out there.........

I look forward to hearing from you !

PS. I will not play with abusive or arrogant people. Please be nice and keep it clean.

Just a question, is this to be done with just my heroes and henchman, or can i bring a friend? Just curious as to how it works, once you've replied put me on the list and I'll come up with some builds that I will use.

Get your buddies together. I will PM you in game within 24 hours to set it up. You will have to be ready to go within 48 hours from the time I contact you. You can pick the time.

Good Luck !

An interesting challenge, though you immediately rule out ritualists by default, since even before the SoS gimmick, many of their skills were already dependent on at least one spirit to achieve maximum efficacy. You also rule out ranger spirits. I think you should change the wording slightly to reflect your (apparent) intention of discouraging gimmicks, or are the regular builds that existed before these gimmicks also unacceptable by default? I don't often see restoration ritualists or barrage rangers attempting UW.

I do realize that a ritualist is hardly required to complete the task you've set forth, but your conditions inherently limit our creativity.

What are the rules regarding Imbagons?

Sorry, no spirits allowed. Rits and Rangers have plenty of options.

There are no rues regarding Imbagons. Paragons, as always, are most welcome! No more than 2 of any class tho.

This is great.. for people who have guilds, for other common folks it's not really possible.
Couldn't you take out like 2 stacks of those shiny ecto and make an easier competition, like a trivia game in an outpost?

Edit: could you post an IGN, please?

What exactly u want to say by this?
1) they don't split so that only some of them are doing some quests will other are doing other quests in the same time
or
2) they don't split at all this means not even a defense on 2 sides while all of them are doing the same quest (let's just say like 4h is usually done;that means doing 4h with an center defense; in this case Servants of Grenth might be a problem cause well u will have noone near King Frozenwind or Reaper of the Ice Wastes (probably the first one) )

If you want a real challenge disallow the emo also. Why? Well you disallowed spirits (probably cause you think they are overpowered), emo is also overpowered (by disallowing all the spirits you disallowed a st rt so i find it fair to disallow emo also in this case).
If emos are not disallowed I'm not interested.

Based on this I understand that resurrection scrolls are also disallowed.

If it's 2) at my first question then well I would want you to solo tank (that means no emo)

. Why? So i can blame you if the party fails

. (cause u probably lost some aggro in Servants of Grenth and cause the party was disallowed to split noone was with king or with reaper and they were also disallowed to split to go and keep king/reaper alive). I'm joking and I'm not joking.

By this you strike badly the rits and their bar. You kinda force them to use energy management from other classes and also you kinda stopped them from acting as healers with their own skills (or they will need a battery).

Nekodesu · Jan 03, 2011, 02:06 PM // 14:06

Is this still open, or have anybody already won?

DigitalFear · Jan 03, 2011, 02:19 PM // 14:19

So, is Ether Renewal allowed or not?

Edit:And how are you not making this look like a RMT transfer? (it is a large amount of money and items traded to one account)

Either way, I'll try this with some friends.
