Oh, and botters doing Dragon Arena/Rollerbeetle.

Fun times.....fuuuun times.

I detect a note of sarcasm in this.

Ya know, you can always just ignore the Festival crap and just continue doing whatever you would normally do. There is no requirement to participate. So stop whining.

Dang that looks nice. I might have to log in and do the quests to get 250 tokens >.<

The devs forgot to test the four-hourly missions in light of the mesmer sklls and Fast Casting updates .

Let me guess: You tried the Tsumai Village mission and got decimated.

Any of the missions with 4 Dream Riders at the spawn point mean that any skills which take more than 1/4s are completely out of bounds.

Something I forgot to note on that mask:

I really, really hope there aren't too many clipping issues with it. Even if the "fins" jut out to the side, I can see some problems. Why do all the best Necro armors have collars?!

Both missions I did had the dream riders in the beginning. Did anyone make it more than 4 times in a row with heroes in seitung harbour?

Are we POSITIVELY sure this is the mask? What if someone just shop'd a few images together?

Although that does look pretty awesome I wouldn't mind one of those.

Does anyone know if you can get greased lightning at dragon fest racing?

BuD · Jul 04, 2010, 05:22 AM // 05:22

Why is the finale starting at 2:00 am pacific this year instead of its normal starting time of 12:00 am pacific?

No, you can't. Only during Canthan New Year.

It's amazing how many people have tried to tell me otherwise, in game, this weekend.

And I thought it was just me...I declared that mission almost impossible and totally not worth the prize.
And even if I managed to get down the 4 dream ryders, after half party's death, I couldn't make the rest with a small party and dp, eww

I tried it with 4 chars and after having perma empathy on physical chars even when I have hex removals and having 1/4 sec spells interrupted ?! I made it only with ritualist spirit spammer, had to use a lot of micro and watch my heroes very carefully to make it.

Yea and 2nd time I was 38/40 cleared and died -.-

THIS is bad

My best one was...about a half but the next time I wiped at the first group so I gave up

aspi · Jul 04, 2010, 10:30 AM // 10:30

Those are the easy ones if you ask me, the current missions are giving me some troubles. There are too many storms spawning and my heroes like to play catch with the meteor storms. Just died whith the fury at 1 blip of his health

You must be pretty lonely. Don't you grow tired of rehashing your own rants time and time again...in the summer? There's no discussion in this thread.

I've been "farming" the quests with a spirit spammer easily. I normally get at least 2-3 runs in each half hour. I found Gwen with 3+ interupts and a rit healer (monk enchantments suck compared to weapon spells) with a Leech Signet and Power Drain make a big difference on the nukers. My third hero was originally a single target fire nuker but for the day three missions I find a minion master to be incredibly helpful.

I've also done the day 2 missions fairly easily with a Glass Arrows/Needling Shot ranger and a hammer warrior, heal monk (no enchantments) and a channeling rit with a couple heals (all heroes). No consumables or PvE skills (aside from the Triple Shot and Never Rampage Alone) and I didn't have trouble.

Spirit spam makes it much easier but if you are careful and bring a mesmer you won't have too many problems. Day 3 is easy if you have spirits and minions to tank, Gwen to shut down the majority of AoE ele nukes, healer to keep you alive while a modest spirit army finishes them off with DPS. The groups are small enough that you won't need a lot of DPS once you manage to stay alive a little bit.

That said, the quests have always been very difficult back in the day, it's part of what makes them fun. I do think the recent mesmer buffs makes them a little too harsh and removes a significant number of builds, strategies and possibly classes from being able to effectively complete them.

Elementalists need a huge buff.

There's been a lot of american districts that have glitched grasps (3 and 47 I can confirm) that will not kill you, so if you want to leech you should do some district hopping.

/sigh

I just came to a realization.

This is likely to be the last time that I'll see DA or RBR before GW2 comes out, or at least before the beta comes out.
