Feast your eyes on the ultimate prize:

We just finished a 4 area run in hardmode as eight rampaging elves! 8 Titan Gems for EACH party members. 64 shiny gold gems in total.

We ran into some trouble with The Fury who was particularly furious tonight, but overall... Awesome stuff. 7.5 hours, our average for a 4 area run is 6.5 hours, so hard mode has introduced added difficulty here and there but the same old-same old build works just fine.

I definitely agree with you there, Batou. I freely admit: I was one of those "cranky" ones.

Of course, it was also 8:30 AM my time! Everyone did a great job despite my ranting on TS.

The Fury was particularly annoying last night. I think the Hard Mode buffs are particularly noticeable on him (400 HP Shatter Encants thru Bonds, SFA, and Armor of Earth FTL) and the stupid Vu's with their constant Magehunter Smashes.

I left the run with 9, then we killed mallyx. Sadly I used the mallyx gem set for a coffer and got 5 diamonds. Also the Creation :P

Heh, this was made more pleasant by the fact that I go the reaver from Mallyx. However, I don't get the whole I rolled a 3 and he got my Titans thing. I think that's actually deplorable.

That happens when you gamble I guess. I was in that run, and there was no way in hell I was going to gamble my 8 titans, but those 2 can afford the gamble, I can't

In the group that Lux and I go with we /roll 100 after each area chest to see who gets the gems. It is optional, and I never roll for my titans, but I do roll for the other three gems. Only Lux and Fo Shizle rolled for the titans.

its kind of funny to have like 30 Margonites in your storage and almost no torment or stygians because you have been unlucky on the rolls for those to areas lately.

grats on the reaver mate.

I guess my fault for not explaining well has Farshaw stated it is pure optional, I do it for the fun of gambling, I do this runs for the hell of it, I do have more than enough gold, that "I rolled a 3..." was a humurous try of auto spanking for gambling

Be well and stay well.

I don't see it as deplorable, we both took a gamble and I won. Don't know how I won having only rolled a 10 on a 100 dice, luck was simply on my side. All in all we took longer than we should have but it was a good enough run. By the way lux, I dont enjoy tea parties, so I pulled big groups that we should have been able to handle in City. I pulled big groups in the last room of foundry and we were fine, so maybe it was simply a matter of "WHERES THE DAMN HEALING!!!!"

Lol Fo - blame the bipper (sorry Lisa

)
City is an energy hole and when they put on qz how can we monks keep up with the energy output? No juice, no healz, simple as that.

BTW it was nice to see different tanks doing Foundry. It was very illuminating to see how one can pull those Anguish titans from the furthest snake back to the entrance of the room. GJ mate.

<--Yule B Sari I'm glad you guys succeeded. I know Lux, I know Shizzle, not sure about the other names. However, again, if I went on a run with others and achieved this kind of success, I would NOT take my team pmembers' hard earned Titan Gems. I don't care if they're 1k or 100k each. Just wrong. I also would not brag about gambling away my gems... This is just unfathomable to me, and trust me, I'm as rich as I ever want to be in this game. Weirdness.

You seem to be missing the point. It's a game and some people like to "live on the edge" to have fun, even if it means losing out on some Titan Gems. The important thing to remember is that if you had fun, that was the point.

4 runs with an average of 6.5 hours is very good guys, you have skills I give you that.
Good teams are hard to find, unfortunately in doa leavers and noobs are a majority, specialy with the event wich attractedted noobs like flies to the s*it.

I'm not extremely experienced but I'm not a noob either and not a leaver for sure.
Add me if u need a monk (SB,HB,bounder) or necro (bip, SS).
