Zos Shivros high score

seriously, 100,000?http://guildwars.com/competitive/cha...er/default.php

yea, you're really bright, wasting a week or two letting gw sit there and do nothing. Thanks for making it worthless again...

I know Zos has been broken since the beginning, and i admit i've used it to get faction, but seriously, some courtesy to people who realize you did nothing but waste a ton of electricity to get that stupid high score would be nice.

If anyone wants a build to let your 7 heroes do Zos for you, let me know and i will post the build i use.

ok, here is what i run on my heroes to sit and watch:

note that this is just one of many that will work.

and it won't get changed until everyone is farming it like amatz basin when they added faction to it and we were all running SF sins.

i don't really want it changed. I love that i can fill my faction bar when i am not playing.

I just wish people had a little common courtesy. With a 12k quarterly high score, people received a little faction, gold, and xp with reasonable scores.

It takes about 24 hours total to get 70k faction without the bonuses, and your score is about 2000. Pretty much everything is faster than that buy a ton.

Getting rewards for not playing the game is NEVER a good thing.

So going afk and exploiting the mission is all good as long as you stay in just long enough to fill your bar? Mmmmmmmkay...

Who isn't playing the game? I guarantee the majority of people that go into Zos Shivros are playing the game. All you need to do is look at the number of people on the daily list who have scores in the hundreds, compared to the maybe 3 or 4 people who have figured out how to beat it.

And like i mentioned, 24 hours to get 60 some odd thousand faction isn't even on the level of bad vanquishing or standing around in ab waiting for a group.

can you call something an exploit when it has been broken since the day it was released? Zos Shivros has never worked properly. Arena net is aware of this. If they didn't want people using it they could have closed it, or added massively overpowered monsters, etc.

All i wish is people would think of others, of allowing other people to actually be able to get a little something for their hard work when they don't win, and end up dieing.

Hmmmm....

kind of like 9 rings?

Whats wrong with 9 rings?

Mildly disgruntled that I'm still banned and this guy is not.

Only mildly, mind you.

I'm the only person who plays it and is not AFK while doing so.

i bet you get loads of excitement out of that

Nerfnet claims that they don't want to see people grind. So many of the titles require grinding or farming of some sort. If you could complete the titles simply by playing through the games it would make many people happy.

I could see people getting banned for this or a nerf implemented.

I pretty much play Guild Wars like this all the time now we have 7 heroes, agro a group, tab out, read/watch something on the Internet while tabbing back in every minute or so to agro the next group. The only difference here is the monsters come to you in Zos Shivros.

3 problems with this.....
1. it could be abused by an alliance to capture a town ie everyone in the alliance fills their bar while sleeping
2. it hurts other people that play the mission and get less rewards because of the insane high score set by afkers
3. it awards players a title/gold for being afk and thats exactly why the old lightbringer afk farm was nerfed

derp de derp derp
Shame they probably won't change these because it's hard to balance this.

I may be wrong but I thought they said there intent was for there to be no grind needed to complete the game, and in that they succeeded.

I do however agree totally that finishing the game so you can play it in hard mode to max the title that helps you finish the game is a little silly.

The titles are there for those that want to get them and if you want them to max then you have to work at it.
But its not needed to complete any of the games the pve skills work in the general game with modest levels in them.

Even the hom can be filled to get all the material rewards without too much effort.

Anet did some things wrong but endless grind wasn't one of them we did that to ourselves.
I am even now in pre trying to get ldoa for no real reason at all I have 30 points in the hom and its a little boring back in pre but I am doing it to myself.

there are almost no titles that "NEED" grinding anymore. since the HoM calculator, ANet has made everything easy as hell. and yes with 7 hero teams you only need to tab into the game to grab aggro for your heroes, then you are off to doing whatever else you wanna do.

I am a bit confused. I remember after like wave 15 no more enemies move to attack you. Just a bunch of siege turtles spawn around you.

A random Lv1 Crab will appear next to you every minute. If you don't attack it within 10 seconds of appearance, you instantly fail.

See, everything can be solved with simple ideology!

it's faster to get 8 competent people and do MQSC in 1 hour.

Last time I checked, Nine Rings actually cost money to play. So I don't see what's wrong with standing on the game AFK since you're essentially paying for a crappy title anyway.

In this case, we're talking about paying nothing and getting a reward for it. I'm guessing that this is "allowed" and nobody has ever been banned for AFK farming Competitive Missions.

It's just no Zos Shivros....you can apply this idea quite well in Glint's Challenge (EOTN) and go AFK for 25 min and come back to collect your "well-earned" armor remnant. Good hero placement is the key to finishing it completely in afk NM.

Do both, MQSC in the day when you're at your computer, afk Zos Shivros overnight.

That was actually me that set that score, and it wasn't afk'd! Took 7 and a half hours right enough (good thing about this challenge is you can have tea breaks ) of killing turtle waves. Stopped when I got 1000pts per wave (and have screenie at home if someone wants proof) and my eyes were too heavy.

In fairness I decided to do it on a whim after a couple of trial runs and didn't realise how long it would take. But it's not been afk'd so that complaint is wrong and tbh the other high scores prolly haven't either as I don't think anyone's connection is reliable enough to just leave for that length of time.

Anyway, if you've got a spare 8 hours it's very doable now we have 7 heroes

Edit: There you go, afk not ok! Also, you can laugh at my build, I really was just trying to get past Wave 7 when I started so I could have a proper run later but it went fine. Huzzah! for what you can acheive with sub-optimal builds! Didn't remove my name 'cause there doesn't seem to be any point given [Records];


Superedit!: Bored at work so did some maths, to get my score by afking you'd have to leave your comp on for 35 days @ 2pts per minute (101000/2 = 50500mins, 50500/60 = 841.66 hours, 841.66/24 = 35.06 days) roughly. Good luck with that.

ZoS shivros isn't really challenging since it's begins to be honest... I remembered doing it long time ago with some mates, but once you passed 20k points , it's getting really repetitive and difficulty isn't getting higher ( not even arguing about if you got a cons...)

Though this is exact opposite of what poster is hoping for, this is also a nice way to afk your survivor title. just sayin..

Note: This is extremely slow, but if you are looking to add exp while not there. It does require a bit of faith on your hero builds though.

35 days straight. Wow. We gamers truly are the biggest time wasters on earth. Also, can we close this thread now that we know this guy wasn't afk doing this? It's a pointless thread now.

Lol, I loved that challenge missions. 400k faction/day ftw. And that was without even trying.

damn that is impressive. So mind sharing the builds?

hey, i have been trying this recently but when i go afk it seems to rezone me after a while (and i haven't died)

I follow the monk up to the hill and stand there with heroes, any idea on whats goin wrong? :/

Did Battle Priest Calibos die?

I'm not sure since I haven't ever done Zos Shivros, but could you afk legendary survivor if you waited long enough? Stand close enough to get exp but far enough to not put yourself in any danger?

congratulations on an EARNED high Score.

I'm at work just now so can't give exact builds but there was nothing exceptional about it. Was roughly this;

Me (Imbagon(ish) with Fall Back, I had no elite so if I did it again I'd prolly stick Incoming in instead of Wild Throw)
3 Discords (2 MM's, one with Bone Minions and the other with Shambling Horror, plus conditions, hexes and Rit skills)
Soul Twisting Rit
SoS Rit
Panic Mez
Woh Monk

Only other thing I'd say is when racing between turtles it helps to disable MM skills, or else they lag behind raising pointless minions from turtles.
The guy who posted about it being repetitive after 20k is absolutely right, after that it's an endurance challenge really. Only problems being bad turtle spawns (middle spawn too far apart, or as they move away from you they clump into a 3-4 turtle group) but if you keep your eye out it can all be handled.
Sometimes they will wander close to the Battle Priest too. Usually the raised ground he's on provides him protection from main turtle attack, but the area damage still hits him so watch out for that.

That's all I can think of at the moment, have fun!

Hmm I needed a nice fun team for my paragon, and it is pretty fun to see all those white tigers during my VQ. Thanks for the fun builds and yes it does work in zos, even with lvl low tigers but since thats kinda boring I will use it for HM missions and VQ.
