i wasn't part of the group that killed him but am in their alliance.

the point of elitest missions is to test your group and your skills. If everybody just gave you a build that would automatically dominate them, then the point of the elite missions is gone.

so aka we're trying to help u guys become creative and experiment on your own.

Kind of like learning European history when you plan to become an engineer.
Besides, why do you want to see the bar so bad? It'll leak out eventually...

VitisVinifera · May 11, 2006, 12:31 AM // 00:31

so if you have a full team, your chances at best of getting a green are 3/12? Sounds like it's a waste of 4 hrs to me.

Probably best to let this thing sort itself out like pve tombs did and the rise of the b/p team (the analog thereof in this case), so you can crank a few out and raise your odds

johanL · May 11, 2006, 03:07 AM // 03:07

this is the most frustrating thing, and i bet ALOT of ppl think the same!
why can't other ppl do this missions? its really anoying..i payed for this game so i would appreciate if i could be able to do all the missions available.
My tiny allaince will never get THAT big...ANET isn't really fair at all on this!!!!!!

and now those big allainces are comming here bragging about it....ffs

If there is a build that makes the elite missions easy enough to 'dominate,' please, let me know. ;P

Are you a girl? If so, I'm in love

Dunno, but that reply just EXACTLY mirrors my thoughts. Right down to the dots...

Aërendil · May 11, 2006, 07:36 AM // 07:36

it's so hard to do this mission, isn't it? You know i have a feeling that, that is total bull. Look at factions and tell me which part is hard? Propecies, same. And now these UBER ELITE MISSIONS are supposed to be to hard for the normal public.. give me a break.

Am i frustrated at the fact i can't do that elite whenever i like, yes. WHY couldn't they have made it that you had to farm as the Luxon side more faction then the Kurzick side? Something like the good old favor system but just different in a way that everyone gets a chance. And not by playing hours at a time but with skill.

aNET has made something which is just a screwed up system which a bunch of guys who say: "WE R TE ELITE!! WE R PWNG!!" who have just had to farm tons of hours a day to get it. I have heard a rumour that alliances already want a minimum factions input.... please aNET change this part of the game, and do not make it only for people who have all the time of the world and are even playing this game on school or at work.

Riceboi · May 11, 2006, 07:46 AM // 07:46

At first I cared about the "elite" missions, and this whole alliance thing. Honestly I don't even care about it anymore...sigh

For what its worth: Good job on beating the mission!

Pyrea · May 11, 2006, 07:47 AM // 07:47

Hi there

Well, looking at your pics I can't really make anything out.

Maybe next time take some nicer pics excluding the HUD...

Aërendil · May 11, 2006, 07:48 AM // 07:48

The problem is also that factions is a short game and when people say that such a mission takes >3 hours then i DON'T want to miss out all the fun.

Lorven · May 11, 2006, 09:48 AM // 09:48

the skill set is only 10% of the job on anything. if you dont know the layout and the spawn points and the monster behavior and positioning , be it PvE or PvP , you'll lose. nuff said.

If they did that people would just be complaining about it not being the elite mission.

Ubermancer posted a picture of him at Urguz, without blacking out his build.. also saw another screen of a monk who didnt.

ubermancer · May 11, 2006, 02:41 PM // 14:41

How about you stop bitching like some sort of parasite because he didnt reveal the way HE did it (likely because youd then have the gaul to critique his build, or demand to know why he had a certain skill combo) and instead just come up with your own build, the way he did it?

I have little empathy for most people who dont have access to the Elite missions, as almost all of them would surely die before they got out of the first room... a fact which is evidenced by peoples dependency on those who have access (and do well) in the Elite missions.

EDIT: That actually wasnt my build, it was a screen I took from Light Of Ra, an Officer in my guild, because I was too tired and let down to upload my own at the moment. (we just ate a grand total of five error 7's while fighting Urgoz)

jackie · May 11, 2006, 02:55 PM // 14:55

I heard from reliable source that if you can clear FoW // UW, then this mission shouldn't be a problem to you. Just careful pulling - of course theres extra like adjusting yourself to sudden -4 energy degen and stuff, BUT in the end it's pretty much the same.

Controlling alliances have just hyped the difficulty.

Akathrielah · May 11, 2006, 03:09 PM // 15:09

It is significantly more difficult than the FoW/UW missons which were always more or less cake. The environmental effects are a killer (not -4, try -10, and there are far worse effects), and the way that adds can pile if you don't pull intelligently is ridiculous. Add in the fact that mobs are ridiculously powerful, and this is the most challenging thing that ANet has produced by far.

I actually want ANet to allow everyone to have access to the Elite missons, that way everyone can try it, die horribly about a minute in, and proceed to go bitching on the boards and get told to stfu.

Really, if you want to get into the elite missons, XoO and TLA usually offer a spot in their groups (although Guildies/Alliance members get priority) for FREE. Of course, you have to be a non-idiot, and listen to them. So all of the "I'll play the way I want to, when I want to" people need not apply.

Almighty Zi · May 11, 2006, 03:15 PM // 15:15

I reckon that the controlling alliances should let all the folk here, whining about not seeing builds and reckoning that the mission is easier than portrayed, into the elite mission and time how long they last. Oh and post screenies so we can have a laugh.
