The night before last, the guilds Don't P I S S In The [ Wind ] and Don't Pwn Us Again [Plz], along with friends from many other guilds such as Rebel Rising and I Disposable Heros I achieved a massive 201 consecutive wins in dragon arena (or 'dodgeball' as the guilds know it).

We believe this to be a record that no one else has achieved. Screen shots will be added later today, since they are stored on various pc's around the world.

We played for 13 hours solid and were lucky when a couple of players dropped out and we were able to sync more of us in.

The tiredness and burning eyes plagued us as we played, with the guild leader of [ Wind ] (De La Gimper) resorting to putting ice on his eyeballs...

If anyone's achieved higher than 201 wins (when we chose to finnish due to tiredness) i'd be happy to know about it, however I doubt this has ever been achieved before... We hope to beat this record ourselves before tuesday is up.

Long live dodgeball!

Max Ive managed before being bored was about 45 wins in a random team.

Ahh, way to ruin the fun of loads of players there with syncing btw.

As mentioned you probably ruined the fun for a lot of people because you were syncing.

Only played it once and noticed that everyone on my team was from the same guild so knew syncing would be a problem. Got enough for 2 Z-keys then everyone on my team leaves, decided to leave to instead of getting all new players. Haven't went back to it.

Syncing Dragon Arena is nothing like syncing Random Arenas. In Dragon Arena it's all about skill, thus puggies will have a chance, in Random Arenas .. synced builds tend to stomp through pugs no matter skill.

Back on thread, awesome job getting to 201.

You still have better communication (vent).

Really makes the other team need to be SUPER GOOD and/or bots.

People who actually know how to win in Dragon Arena are so rare that I would say synching is even more abusive that it is in RA. If you play a team that has even one clueless person all you need to do is dodge constantly and take that person down over and over.

Eh, not really. The only challenge would be if you actually went up against another full group that synched in, and even then there's a good chance that they will just suck.

201 wins through synching is impressive in terms of endurance, maybe.

No, Syncing in either Arena is cheap because you would probably be on TS or Vent and automatically have an upper hand because of communication.

The only difference between the 2 games is that DA has a set build and att points (zero), whereas RA has Mending healing hands Wammos (last time I ran in there with my necro I was grouped with 3 of them ).

The only reason I gave up after 45 wins was because I was bored out of my mind and really tired at 1AM.

Another thing which makes syncing cheap is you can and will also have players on the other team who didnt manage to sync on the right side running leeroy giving free wins.

Pretty fail bragg thread. I think the real accomplishment is playing 13 hrs straight without going insane. There are guilds and teams who win in TA until they get bored, against decent competition no less. Synching games like Snowball arena or DA is like a group of ringers competing in the special olympics - Most of the competition is made up of pve'ers, and it's very rare to run into a team with more than 2 good players. Find a weak link and the game's over.

I didn't mention anything about skill, I said it was downright impressive (and yes, I meant the time aspect)

I played for 2 hours straight earlier today. It was the worse thing ever in GW, now my back hurts even more than it did. I can only imagine how horrible it is to play for 13 hours. o.o

Wow, you know how to sync and to dodge slowly flying ball. I'm impressed.
I wonder who will play you in the movie.
If RA didn't force you to TA after 10 wins we'd probably have threads with people bragging about how they managed to get 4336 cons wins and synched.

Noone beat us in the arena, we cleared the 200 mark then went to bed.

I'm sure you have beated up once in a while, though, to be honest, I doubt you could beat us on your own. Having said that, we sometimes play a game when 5 of the team hang back and one person tries to solo the entire enemy team. That's quite amusing.

For all you saying it's nothing special, it's lovely that you think that, I respect that. But, well, though I respect your oppinion, unless you can produce the goods yourself, I just don't want to hear it.

Playing dodgeball well takes more skill than you account for, it's not a matter of simply dodging the ball, one has to know what to do, and when to do it. When to rush up close, how to position ones self etc. That you just say it's all about just dodging, really shows that you have little knowlage of the minigame.

Anyways, the numbers speak for themselves, that, and shim's screenie.

As i see you are saying 6v1. Funny since if they all randomly shot balls at you you cant evade em. And they would prolly empire you, so you can stop bragging now and go get a real life hunny.

Scroll up....

If you're too lazy to look at shim's screenie, well, here's it again, taken by Gimper: http://img167.imageshack.us/my.php?image=gw727in2.jpg

As for a screenie of dodging all 6... well, you can't really show a screen shot of them all shooting as that shows nothing, and you can't show half way though as the person dodging may yet be hit by one. Finnaly, you can't show the end as they all shoot at slightly different times so the balls wont all be on the ground together - meaning you can't prove it that way as you can't see the six balls, the only way to know, would be to play against us when we're doing that.

Edit- We've also come up agianst several sync groups on quite a few occasions while on our win streak and off, one also finds themselves playing names you quickly recognise, most of whome, are not total fools. It's not as if we're playing against kamakazi idiots... Having said that, we've come across a fair few of those to.

Less DA, more beer.

Also, I guess congratulations are in order, 201 is a nice number. But 13 hours is downright WoWlike.

It's not that big of an accomplishment seeing as synching with 2 people that know what to do rolls over any random team.

My best is 6 in a row.

In the end, if you don't got proof, I can't say congratulations.

Nonetheless, over ten hours of "dodgeball"... I'd give up after 35 minutes due to lack of actual activity.

EDIT: After scrolling up... congratulations.

Hey (yes im gimper) no 1 beat us our goal was to achieve 100 then 200 then 250 while no one wanted to go on after 160 i told everyone lets just go beyond 200 (the 201) after that we just left the game and went to bed.
