By the way, I saw 3 people in GoA dist 1 on Friday saying they had already done this. Still an incredible accomplishment even if you aren't the first. Of course they didn't have any proof of it so it doesnt really matter who is first. Just doing it is great whether you're #1 or #50.

Cygnus_Zero · Dec 27, 2006, 08:58 PM // 20:58

Oops. forgot to mention they said it took them over 9 hours. So it looks like if you weren't the first, you were the fastest.

Congrats on your efforts, i should get more into DOA as well just hate cloning enemies argh ....

Cygnus_Zero · Dec 27, 2006, 10:29 PM // 22:29

I want to get more into it as well. Dont know where ill find the time to do some of the parts of it though. I max out at being able to play GW for 2 hours before I start either getting bored, tired, or yelled at by my girlfriend. If I can ever get it done, it definitely wont be successive.

I highly doubt them for two reasons:
1) No proof. Such a feat is one you post to the wrold, not spam in local chat.
2) We were the first to confirm that if you open chests in succession you get extra drops. We did that on Saturday.

It's easy to stand in local chat and claim all kinds of stuff. However, I would expect people who actually did it to showcase their achievement. Some guy was telling me he beat Mallyx before I even finished all 4 quests, and when I finally did and got to try for Mallyx, I discovered that all he was saying was made up and that he had no even seen Mallyx. So, in short... Talk is cheap.

Batou of Nine · Dec 29, 2006, 11:28 AM // 11:28

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!

I guess it was only a matter of time till your obsession completely overtook your life!! LoL, j/k Lamees. This holiday break looks like it was the perfect time to sit down and punish DoA down to a mere 8-some hours, GRATS!!

You most definitly know that i woulda totally been up for the challenge with yall, but alas, i am outta town with the family. ^_^" I will be 10x more impressed when you engineer the full DoA tour down to under 4 hours, then i wont have to request any days off work, LOL!!

Anywhoo, congrats again to you and your crew! Btw, Spardas, you CANNOT tell me your poor anymore, you can now buy your own damn 200+ ecto, haha ha ha ha ha.... etc.

LoL, peace out ill expect to see what yall bought with your riches when i get back!

cheers!

Karlos · Dec 29, 2006, 11:44 AM // 11:44

Hey hey... Thanks Batou.

Come back soon or you'll miss all the drops. :P

For all I did and the many more times I finished DoA quests than Spardas did, he somehow got Armbraces by the time I got one. :P He got 2 Armbraces out of 9 Coffers. i.e. 2 Armbraces for 9 gems each instead of 1 for 15 each. That's Spardas for you.

Well I dont know. I wouldn't doubt their accomplishment or them being the first simply because they didn't come and post it on an internet forum. There are many people who don't even come here. I was talking to a SF ele in there just last night and was talking to him about the potential SF nerf and mentioned it was being discussed on GWG and he has never heard of this site.

When the whole IDS thing was going on, I found one about 20 minutes after the update that added it. I didnt know about it. After that update, I decided on a whim to go to the ice cave and try and clear out the ice imps with henches. And I got an IDS drop. I went back to granite citadel and made a post about it in a full district and not one person knew what I was talking about. So I very well could have been the first to find one. Then I went right to gamefaqs I believe, possibly gwonline (cant remember) and I had 2 people immediately respond telling me it was "old/10" and that they already had them and they were worth nothing.

My point is that there's no way to truly hold the title of "I was the first to find an IDS", or "I beat the Mallyx quests in succesion first".

gul dan · Dec 29, 2006, 03:22 PM // 15:22

well... that's true...

some people just don't care about the communities...

i think it's great, and if it was me, would've done the same, with the screenshots and stuff...

but other form the majority that doesn't know about this, or other forums, many people (i know 2 of them) don't like forums, they think it's a waste of time, and just want to play the game...

and that's how it is... for me, Karlos and his gang will always be the first ones to do this, maybe others did it first, but it's like we live in other universes...

Hmmmm? Wuuut? I'm poor, I don't know what you're talking about Batou. I think it's time you donate to the Spardas Fund, it's for a very very good cause. A couple of stacks of ectos will do.

4 hours, huh, lol. I say you take a day off from work Batou, I'm thinking Lamees is gonna aim for 7 hours or less. Problem is finding the right build to do City->Veil->Gloom->Foundry, instead of doing Gloom->Foundry->City->Veil. That way, we will get 4 titan gems to drop, muahaha, but yeah, 100% success in gloom is ehhhhh atm.

papryk · Dec 29, 2006, 06:23 PM // 18:23

gratz.
mallyx drops any green?

xProdigy · Dec 29, 2006, 08:36 PM // 20:36

DAMN LAMEEZ, if only i coulda been on at that time u guys started it maybe i could've been your ob tank xD. Owell maybe we'll do some gloom farms again sometimes since that seems to be the easiest, we always got lucky with 3-4 gems the first mob. but congrats anyway

(<-- X Noobie)

karunpav · Dec 29, 2006, 09:17 PM // 21:17

If i sat in front of my computer for 8 hours, my eyes would bleed...

Congrats, though

Well, in principle, you are absolutely correct. No way to definitively prove it one way or the other barring ANet provides logs or something.

However, I am speaking out of familiarity with the top players in DoA (at least those in American districts), most of whom tried this with me or helped me with it at some capacity, and among those I know, we were the first. I find it hard to believe that there existed a group of these REALLY good players who can do these things in DoA (in American districts) that I did not hear of. You'll notice the many responses of people who have been in attempts with me or met me in DoA. We know (or know of) each other fairly easily at this point.

armbraces dont come out of the coffers

unless someone could provide a screenie then i would have to say nope i have opened 12 and got one mini malyix and all the rest crap but diff no arm's or weapons and other guildies have opened as well for a total of about 40 coffers and nadda

Karlos · Dec 30, 2006, 09:17 AM // 09:17

Heh, you can choose to believe it or not. Entirely up to you. That's not stopping Armbraces from coming out of coffers.

I know two people who got Armbraces out of coffers already. My uneducated guess would estimate the chance at under 10%.
