Can u kill the mesmer bosses as a solo monk

Hailfall · Jan 19, 2006, 09:03 PM // 21:03

The baddies got cry of frustration.. which makes really difficult to dual run it or solo it for that matter..

Me and my guildie tried it earlier.

Yep, they've made it so that you can't solo

That green axe looks nice, even if it is very similar to the Tanzit's Cleaver I have (I don't care about skins).

*bows to anet* THEY LISTENED TO US!

So wait, to make sure I have everything clear.

There is now a second entrance to UW at tombs? Is it the same UW we are used to or a new UW or just a different entry point within UW?

If it is from Tombs, it is a PvE area right? I don't have to do a PvP group to get the new greens?

The new bosses truly do hose up the 55s I think. It won't be long before someone figures out a way around it, but I think it not only hosed them but others as well. Sure there are other ways to work the underworld, but it is hard enough with a normal group.

So if there are new bosses, do they have the new elites to cap?

Papi Chulo · Jan 19, 2006, 09:26 PM // 21:26

Well i wonder where u can get it cuz if i cant find it il end up buying it

DvM · Jan 19, 2006, 09:26 PM // 21:26

@cherno

its the same way as just going into tombs, first UW, then scarred earth etc, but now there are all red dots on your rader, ahoh, KILL them

Hello Kitty · Jan 19, 2006, 09:26 PM // 21:26

The new greens sound so sweet - that area is super hard though... I'm gonna have to practice up so that I can get a bit further in tombs me thinks.

Whe got to area 2 with henchies but whe got owned right away by a group of 2 terrorwebs and 2 banished dream riders (so far for the UBER henchies :P)

Scutilla · Jan 19, 2006, 09:33 PM // 21:33

Thanks, that sort of answers my question... I forgot to mention that, not being a pvp player at all, I have never been in tombs. :embarrass:

The PvP arena that used to be at tombs got moved to Battle Isles. Tombs is now a PvE area that has 4 maps, the first starting with UW?

Sorry to be so thick headed. I am at work and can't see any of this yet and am excited

...and don't want to play pvp to get the cool new stuff.

ktadie · Jan 19, 2006, 09:36 PM // 21:36

this is correct! new greens are dropping from the chests in HoH (which u enter from the battle isls, not Tombs)

2 of my friends got some staffs, and i saw a guy with a max perfect sickle!

snapp · Jan 19, 2006, 09:51 PM // 21:51

it's not a real sickle though :P

Rau · Jan 19, 2006, 09:52 PM // 21:52

IMO gg anet,

this will crash the market so bad just like the chest infasion...
how far do u want the market to crash? so far that everyone will go pvp ?

i mean i stopped pve like i pvp now trade a lil but ..

Sai of Winter · Jan 19, 2006, 09:52 PM // 21:52

Green perfect sickle and shadowblade....

*heart attack*

Ventius Hozza · Jan 19, 2006, 09:56 PM // 21:56

nah, this is bad.

As much as i would like to se these new items or even have one why do anet have to bring out a perfect sickle and shadowblade?

that poor poor guy who found a max sickle. oh hes kicking himself now

Cherno · Jan 19, 2006, 09:59 PM // 21:59

While the market is an important piece of the game, I think it is not as important as actual game play. I like that they added these highly sought skins with perfect mods. It helps bring down the rediculous prices that are being paid and asked for these items.

Sure they brought it upon themselves by making them so rare to start with but I am sure there will be new replacement uber rare items from the expansion.

I do not state this out of sour grapes, I have purchased and sold my share of rare items, so it isn't a case of "you say that because you can't afford them."

There will still be a market for these items because the greens are not modable, which is what a lot of people are complaining about now and saying that green items are dead (see green item price guide last few pages). So someone who doesn't necessarily want a sundering sickle of fortitude will still pay for a good max dmg sickle that can be modded, but the price will become such that more people can afford them.

I have found, if nothing else, that this game is well balanced. If something now ruins the profits of those who have been gaining from them, trust that there will be something else to take its place in the not too distant future.

Change is good

I'm sorry but QQ more. PvP players have the drops from Heroes Ascent, you have the drops from the new Tombs. I'd say that was pretty fair, wouldn't you? Not to mention farming a PvE area is ever so slightly easier than taking and holding HoH.
