Curse

This was what I do: 3 ale based + 1ale/min

Yesterday I could have 1 druken game min/ 2 min real time. But today I got random time, sometimes 2 real mins some times 5 real mins for 1 game min druken. But the progreess becomes faster if I drink at random time instead of every minute. I have decided to stop working on this title becasue it could take me a million to get the title until I figure out what happened. Have anyone else experienced the same thing?

I have no idea what your talking about.... could you try to explain again?

Nibor · Apr 30, 2006, 08:33 PM // 20:33

I think he is to drunk to explain

Raif Bahlaan · Apr 30, 2006, 08:36 PM // 20:36

I think he means... to get the drunkard title (1000 minutes drunk) he worked out that he needed 3 ale to start off and then 1 ale a minute to stay 'drunk'. But it seems that the amount of ale it takes to get/stay drunk changes randomly, which means it will probably cost alot more to become a "drunkard" than he had initially hoped.

I'm just doing all missions/farming while drunk. Adds a whole new dimension to Guild wars...

I haven't experienced that...

I have 900 minutes drunk so far. I chug 5 real quick, then 3 minutes later (in real time and on Drunken Title Track) I chug 3 more. Every 3 minutes I just chug 3 more ales and they last 3 minutes, I get 3 minutes credit on Title...

So, there's been no random factor for me.

It's good to have a goal in life. However I think I'll stick with the real thing. While trying to avoid that pesky "Alcoholic" title, of course.

OMG a Drunk title? I must have it. How do you find out your drunk time?

ShadowStorm · May 01, 2006, 02:06 AM // 02:06

Does Absinthe and Witches Brew and Eggnog count towards the drunken title?

At least eggnog and spiked eggnog do.

ales are available from the Monastery and Imperial Quartermasters for 1 Monastery Credit or Imperial Commendation. you can get those items through quests, but any other way i have no idea.

yes i have noticed this same problem... 2 real min = 1 game min.. its crazy

So as far as I know, in game 1 minute = real life 2 minutes, it turned out thatI I have to be drunk for 2 mins in real to get 1 min progress, yes I tried it and it was true. But yesterday when I tried again, I got a 1:1 time rate. Like I said sometimes it happened to me 1 game minutes drunk: 4 real minutes drunk, can someone explain this?

Lmao, and i thought i'd spent too long doing it at 140 minutes

Let us know if theres another level to it.

10,000 minutes is 2nd level.

And I don't understand the problems you guys are having with this.
For me, 1 minute in real life = 1 minute drunk in game. Just follow the advice I gave, and it should work out. Chug 5, after 3 minutes chug 3 more, 3 minutes later chug 3 more, etc...

Maybe the problem you guys are having is with the first 2 drinks? You need to have 3 drinks in you to be considered drunk. So the first 2 don't count. Just chug 3 in a row and you'll get 1 minute drunk. If you chug 5 in a row, you'll get 3 minutes drunk. As long as the first 2 you drank don't wear off, you'll stay drunk; so when 3 minutes are up, drink another 3 and you'll get 3 more minutes of drunk.

Post-edit: Don't bother having more than 5 in you at a time. 5 is the most that count.

Also, the ale timer gets reset every time you take a drink. So, for instance, if you drink 5 ales in a row and then 1 minute passes you'll get 1 minute of drunk. As soon as you take another drink, 1 minute will pass before that drink wears off and you get credit for 1 minute drunk. So if you wait, say 30 seconds after getting credit, you won't get credit for drunk until 90 seconds after the previous minute of drunk.

In other words, drink as soon as you get credit for (1-3 minutes) drunk, or the time you waste taking the next drink is wasted. That's why I chug 3 after 3 minutes are up. You can drink 1 every minute, but if you get distracted and forget to drink, you wasted that time between getting drunk credit and the next drink. Hope this makes sense...

I am pretty sure I have made at least 5 drinks at first and I have some drunk message murmuring, but the problem happened to me, I will try your method

Raif Bahlaan · May 01, 2006, 10:07 AM // 10:07

I'm up to 200 minutes with the 3 + 1 every minute system. That works. The screen may not be as blurry, there is only a slight effect, but you are still 'drunk'.

I'm sure if you do it while farming/doing whatever you do the minutes will rack up pretty quickly. But 10,000 minutes is just crazy.

bobrath · May 01, 2006, 08:17 PM // 20:17

btw spiked eggnoggs give a great drunk setting with just one drink.... Can't wait for the next holiday so I can collect all the alcoholic items (forget candy canes!!!)

Alias_X · May 03, 2006, 01:13 AM // 01:13

Does the time that you are drunk for accumulate? So, could I be drunk for 5 minutes, log off, then if I am drunk for 3 minutes next time I am on, it will count as 8 minutes towards the title?

I would argue that it subtracts a dimension or two, but you could be right

And yes, Alias. You don't have to do it all in one swoop ... that would be dedication (16 and some change hours straight) of drinking.

10000 minutes is just a little under a week realtime
