HoS chest runs?
boogerboy72
Are these chests dropping better or something? ive seen lots of "Hos cr" in the eye. Just wondering if i was missing out some something or not.
trielementz
no better, but it's relatively quick compared to full blown dungeons. plus boss is a pushover with a pug.
Arathi
Or get any hero or hench that can interuppt good or you could get Great Dwarf Weapon spell use it on henches that melle or shoot with a bow or spear for ints
Cargan
yeah, the dungeon is very quick. With the right build you can run to the boss and have the chest spawned in under 10 mins (starting from Central Transfer Chamber). I hope they don't nerf it as it's one of the few things I can do in EotN when I have a spare 10-15 mins.
Arathi
What do you think they will do now? i did this 3-4 days when Gwen came out it was fast easy then it spread like a swarm on honey they will add more mobs make it hard and alot more now

Gawddam. Anet is probably gonna read this now and nerf it. No one has been making threads on HoS for fear of this (I see PuGs talking about "not making this run too aware"). Oh well, I've gotten my fair share.

I don't see the point in nerfing it.
for an investment of 10 -15 minutes 8 people are likely to end up with a fairly rubbish gold item that will go straight to a merchant for 300 gold.
You do have a chance of a good gold , a boss item , polymock piece, a gem but the odds are that you probably won't get one.
The proper farmers -the ones that influence the economy - they have much better places to farm for those 15 minute that will net them a lot more gold (the way to truely get money is to kill lots of things quickly for the money drops - not to purposely go after a gold item as they are a random drop)
GWEN groups don't drop a lot of money piles - I don't see GWEN as a place to farm for cash. If they nerf this before they nerf some other areas I will be very disappointed

If you didn't realize, Onyx is steadily decreasing but managing to stay at 7k. HoS Runs are currently one of the fastest ways to earn an Onyx gemstone. Also... I've seen plenty of rare things come out of there, Colossal Scimitars, ELemental Swords, Gloom Shields, etc. And plus, it isn't even about the "influence" on the economy. It's about the fact that people can run through all the levels on a dungeon with no quest. And when battling Magmas, all you simply do is spam kegs to win

lol the nerf is already on it way.before this posts. something about adding a boss like moster that drops a key fpr the dungen boss level that way you cant just run too the end lay crap loads of dyomite and boom!!!!!!!!

I think it falls under low hanging fruit... needs a fix

That's a pathetic reason.
People enjoyed IWAY, but that got nerfed. If it unbalances gameplay it should be nerfed. And it does unbalance the game by creating an influx of gems/greens
Sword Liger
tbh the drops arent that good, real farmers wont bother with this run.
and besides. Players that do HoH spend roughly 15 minutes and all they get rewarded with is a gold item, I don't see how this PvE run differ, keep it in my opinion or scale down the chest so it drops less valuable items...
Neo Nugget
Man, i just find out about this stuff yesterday and bucks says its nerfed before the week is over

People are already complaining that they don't get very good drops from enemies. The only 2 golds ive had drop were 2 unmax golds, a hammer and a bow

Then again... HoS isn't that consistent, so everything you get is all luck. Someone could do this for 24 hours straight and not get an elemental sword. This has, though, become an easy way to get money without DOING anything. I like to afk alot and let other people run it, and only help during the last level. It's worth it, considering I hardly have to do anything
Neo Nugget
I wonder if they consider this an "exploit" like they did with the urgoz spirit solo.
Course they didn't ban anyone for it. I think that if this was a soloable run, maybe. But I'm actually going in a PuG now *sigh* R.I.P HoS CR
Sasuke The Betrayer
Actually... this is very well soloable. It's just faster with a PuG and there's no downside to it (Except when they afk and don't resign or something like that).
The build I use... [skill]Sprint[/skill][skill]Dash[/skill][skill]Death's Charge[/skill][skill]"I Am Unstoppable!"[/skill][skill]Shadow Form[/skill][skill]Signet of Stamina[/skill][skill]Endure Pain[/skill][skill]Feigned Neutrality[/skill] At level 1 of HoS, hit I am Unstoppable early on and then run past the spiders (Whose monster effect won't cripple you at all). When near the snowball throwing machine in the water that is filled with those chained monk dudes... hit a death's charge on one and hit unstoppable again to avoid cripples and knockdowns (Shock and Hamstring). Once reaching the skelks near Budger, hit Shadow Form and avoid getting close to them (Chilbains) and run to level 2. Everything should be easy after that... Binding "Drop Item" to a key can help, when your spamming kegs.

Better get my runs in now then

The NERF is coming!
Hide your children. Read somewhere today(forget where), semi-official word from Anet that they were working on a nerf. Not sure if I should call GW:en Eye of the Nerf or Exploit of the North Maybe Exploit of the Nerf, fits best... AlienFromBeyond

Sounds real realiable. But honestly, I would be surprised if they aren't thinking of a way to stop this. The only thing that'll be keeping me from it will be the double faction weekend.
Jamison0071
Sigh....gg I just got into this run and it'll be nerfed
TideSwayer
Having ANet leave this alone is probably wishful thinking on all of our parts. It's bringing far too many Onyx Gemstones into the economy. They've already dropped down to their pre-Duncan-nerf rates.
ANet could remove the destroyable-with-keg walls and Budger Blackpowder entirely unless the Heart of the Shiverpeaks quest was active. However, it would still be runnable, and you could probably change the basic runner builds (all this takes at the moment) into something that could fight through the blob boss at the end. ANet will probably add a Boss key somewhere and a locked door to the final room. It seems the easiest way to impede dungeon runners. plasmasword
It's still not as bad as duncan was. This run brings in 1-2 onyx per run while Duncan was dropping 7 per run.

You already have 1-4 keys by default. Switching weaponsets by hitting F1-F4, or even hitting your current weaponset key has a side effect of dropping whatever you are carrying. Just don't look for drops by pressing ALT while switching to your 4th weaponset at the same time, or you may encounter a "crash bug,"
heh.I was wondering what all the HoS CR spam was about, now that everyone here knows too, a nerf can't be far behind. I'd love to be wrong, but that seems to be ANet's modus operandi.

Yeah when you get the chest at the end, before that it gives you 200 asuran points..
went from 42k to 67k asuran faction.. goes to show how many runs i did already.. But anyhow.. yeah this will get fixed.. unfortunatly.. Zabe
Bosslock won't work, that boss would be just kegspammed too ;D

I made Drop Item comma. It's right by the space bar and easily spammed.
~sings~ And I'm gonna farm farm farm till anet takes all my fun awaaaaayyyyy
onerabbit
look what else the chest is dropping
i guess it drops all other rares too then .. B B
Drops sephis swords too

First off, the only thing Anet is "balancing" is PvP... or have you forgotten all the unbalanced PvE skills, comsumables, title effects, etc that are PvE only? Second, how does having the price of an item go down "unbalance" anything? It makes things more balanced, as more people can afford them... |
