3rd run.... only good stuff on 1st run.... o_O

It's brilliant design from Linsey and the Live Team to have moved the final chest and then created the condition for a "tough" fight. I'd love now to go and play "balanced" (and get the HoM statue too!).

Welcome to the fun.

can you check if there is a new statue at the hall of the monument?

DeepFreeZe · Nov 20, 2009, 10:15 AM // 10:15

why should there be a new statue? Its like before the UW, its not a new area or alike.

I sure as hell hope that the drop rate for the mini smiter is not like the mini polar bear.

That would be utterly ridiculous.

I'll sum it up:

"The ways of Anet are like unto God. They are mysterious, inefficient and sometimes they transcend understanding."

Fortunatly for them, the world is already insane.

They had just moved the farming attention to the FoW and now they intoduce an enemy thats best (read: quickest) killed with SF and increases the value of the end chest dramaticly due to new mini/skins. Is it really that hard to reverse SF to non sustainable duration?

I know i'm a GW old timer, rocking to and fro in my chair, but To me balanced is not using con sets and pve skils and is profession inclusive, not exclusive. So just wondering.

Yes. Just pull him out of the door. And to get there... just use buffed melee with a necro spamming GDW and Wells... just bring lots of support.. Maybe WaH can be used instead of imbagon (which is what we use)... but dude... yea...

keep the corpses in the area of the priest and just spam wells and wards around him. Spirits like recup and life help a lot too...

As far as killing mallyx... it's almost laughable when he's pulled out of the gate.

(to pull out of the gate... all but one player needs to stay back near the priest.. and skip the cutscene VERY fast... then run out of the gate.. gg)

Is HM actually a requirement to fight Grenth?

UW is so darn hard costly with its Aatxes and no rez shrine.
I understand people might make the "life is not fair" argument, so I'll leave my statement at this:
When you have to buy a shitload of consumables and keep your whole party under protective spirit constantly when you play balanced, something is wrong.
Dhuum just promotes the use of another dumb gimmick with tanks. Be it Obsidian Flesh, Shadow Form, or whatever.

I wish that were changed :|

bad players are bad. tbh. You're right... if you play balanced like that... something is wrong. =/

I'm confused. Even more confused than before. With the Halloween quests and the skeletons, I was wondering what exactly the Live Team were trying to do. Though the skeletons were a hindrance to speed clear groups, it was evident that many were still doing fine, just with slightly longer times. The problem was unresolved.

I thought I'd wait for Dhuum's appearance and see if it cleared things up. Well, it hasn't. The first screenshot of a defeated Dhuum is a party of 6 assassins (presumably all SF) and 2 monks. Perhaps they didn't finish it particularly fast, but they've shown that SF is still the king of the Underworld. No doubt within a few weeks, Dhuum will be mastered and clear times will be down below 20 minutes again. To top it all off, a bunch of shiny new rewards await. If clear times are now slightly longer, these will more than make up for it.

What is the point of all this? How has the problem been addressed? ArenaNet, do you enjoy wasting your time?

Sharkinu · Nov 20, 2009, 10:49 AM // 10:49

OK so Dhuum is green... but what rarity is Smite crawler? Green or gold?

didnt drop for me

UnChosen · Nov 20, 2009, 10:56 AM // 10:56

What I'm wondering most is the drop rate of those stuff....I hope its not another mini polar bear or eternal sword debacle where the drop rate is so low that even with skill its still a grind. I've been saying that UW needs an increase in reward for a long time but not with the type of rewards where most people can't get it playing normally before GW2 comes out.

Joe Fierce · Nov 20, 2009, 10:57 AM // 10:57

It takes a firrken hour to do, that's sure cut the s part out of sc, sf officially not as big of a problem in uw.

Sharkinu · Nov 20, 2009, 10:59 AM // 10:59

I doubt is another Polar bear like mini. My guess: will be more like yakkington, gwen doll

lorenna · Nov 20, 2009, 11:00 AM // 11:00

so are we thinking these or the only 2 minis or does any1 else think they released a mini uw set?
