P.P.S. Um, and what is the problem with that? This isn't GWO.

Lucifer PVP · Dec 09, 2006, 06:58 AM // 06:58

none of us in the picture care he posted our names.

Foundry is a pain in the butt an i am done with pve and guilds wars for a while

note: not one titan gem dropped during the quest.. except the chest... i can't seem to be able to focus atm so i am going to bed

Wow nice job there!

Foundry part left here, too many critical err7's lately.

sindex · Dec 09, 2006, 07:37 AM // 07:37

Does not matter you guys, I still see people get T-off when people you do this. Hey if there are certain names that are covered up by means of privacy, Hypocrisy is not needed I was simply making a point.

I am not saying we are better then anyone, but when you do beat you will want to do the same thing cuz you know it really sucks and will frustrate the heck out of you.

And jackie we have been trying to beat it since tuesday (1 run a night) and have been getting err7 10s like crazy just luckly this run i guess.

Xpl0iter · Dec 09, 2006, 08:52 AM // 08:52

Done with first 3 parts of the DoA

Will be working on Stygian tommorow nite.
We know how to do it, just hoping no error takes place. we will be done with this tommorow forsure if we enter in it, just no err7 is all we need.

DoA is definetly DOABLE guys
I would seriously suggest you all move your tushes and WORK on it rather than Sitting here on forums and crying for it. Gaile said she is not going to change it, so DO it as it is.
I have done GLOOM with PuG first time
then Guild groups 3 times

Honestly how does the scribe expect 8 people to control a mob of 40 to 50+ level 28 guys rushing you at once and suggest you spike damage individuals of that mob?

It was a miracle we survived that assault. I doubt a balanced team could ever hold it. It was one of the most unfun adverture/quest I've ever done in GW... really ANET increase the party size please.

I tanked for my team for gloom, did it 3 times for 3 different groups in my guild
An ele can hold an agro properly, and it does not have to be Ele/R, remember that.
I would have been done with entire Malyinx and had my reward in the picture i posted tonite, IF the ranger we had in Stygian hadn't Leeroyed at freakin 97% of the quest completion point.
Second time, our monk had err 7ned.

Sarcasm aside, until the area has been completely cleared, I'm holding judgement. There is so little difference between the quest zones and a GW mission that I personally don't care.

Gli · Dec 09, 2006, 11:05 AM // 11:05

Whatever you'd call it, I wouldn't call it 'compelling'. :P

Xpl0iter · Dec 09, 2006, 11:22 AM // 11:22

don't tell me that i am rushing to finish a quest which is going to end my elite mission expereince at that point....

Anarkii · Dec 09, 2006, 01:52 PM // 13:52

Grats on beating the 4 parts. Hopefully, your next screenshot will show us what Mallyx drops

That is a point

Hey, I'll bet the 'compelling mission' line was written by the same people who write the 'this weekend there are several ways you can double your fun!' announcements... enthusiasm is high in the description!

Well done to the people that finished the first quest, though it's been said before.

The point is they should have labelled it accurately for what it is. If it's not a Mission - which it appears it's not based on those screenshots - then there is no need to have called it a Mission. That is misleading, regardless of how minor the difference might be to "some" players.

For the sake of accuracy and full disclosure, they should have called it "Five Elite Quests" rather than "an Elite Mission".

I know many players who expected an actual Mission to be present after the four quests, as would be the only reasonable assumption to have made based on Anet's official "Mission" wording. Had DoA been officially described accurately, then those false expectations would not have been born in the hearts and minds of many/most players. Which is more than reason enough to have officially described DoA accurately.

So you think I envy the idea that you got through to the elite mission, I am sadly to say, you are mistaken. I offer my congratulations to you and your guild mates but everyone will have to make do at their own pace (that includes me). However being irrational about something is one thing, but bashing someone else is another; the way you guys came off was very hostile towards the point I made.

Just to clear this up...

I have completed all 4 areas, but the Mallyx quest does not end there yet.

== Spoilers below ==
When you think you are going to get your reward from the High Priest guy in the Anguish outpost, he instead warps you to an area where he goes to perform a ritual to open a door behind him. Waves of baddies come swarming at him, and you have to defend him while he completes. Haven't finished that part yet, but I'm assuming that door will lead to the Elite mission outpost.

My guess is that it leads straight to another, smaller explorable area where Mallyx hides.

As there was no falseness to any of our statements, I would have to agree with kaane on that "I do not think that word means what you think it means."

I was merely stating the truth, which I'll have you note I left out in the first post for your sake. I only told you the truth because you asked. If you don't want to know, then don't ask.
