As an addendum to this post:
We did this in two tries. The first time we half wiped and were too impatient to spend a halfhour precariously res'ing our teammates.
So..we restarted...
Just a little four hours later and Urgoz is dead.

Congrats guys, that's quite an achievement.

On a side note, I get a bit annoyed to see "hidden" skillbars and party professions. You won't lose anything by showing it, take for example very common builds such as tombs barrage team: Everyone knows exactly the professions and skills/attributes, and yet very often pugs don't make it. A better way to go is to let the information about findings/builds/discoveries available, it's by sharing that we get better, not by keeping our precious little build secret from the others.

He's talking about PvE (so he doesn't really lose anything, in PvP I don't agree either but I understand that revealing your skillbar can give away many things you's prefer to keep hidden) so it's not like he'll lose GvG because people saw his build. And also he's talking about an Elite Mission. What are you suggesting, that if we see the guy's skillbar, everyone is gonna farm Elite missions and in the end they will modify the boss to drop Mountain Troll tusks? I don't think so.

Edit: T)-(E Voice Of Reason hasn't covered his skillbar, prepare for a huge nerf.
My point in short is : I didn't ask for their team build and a guide, just I find narrow minded to go into the trouble of hiding your bar (while you want everyone to know how cool you are and post screenies of you completing the mission). Even if they'd tell their entire team build, not many people would 1. Get a chance to try and 2. Have the same result.

sorry, but this sounds really bad indeed... "no regular group will do this ever".. d0000d, get real lol

I havent given a full party a go yet, will do so today evening i hope. what stunned me is that one guildie said he can solo the first 2 groups of dredge (he admitted its very hard and quite improbable, but hes done it). well, i did try his idea, but it seemed even worse than Racthohs aatxe soloing guide..

give this a month or two, and itll be quite easy to be beaten... ofc itll require preparation and discussion, but still..

I got a question, can everyone get to him? or u need some special amount of faction or u need a outpost or something? Becouse XoO is holding HzH and im not sure if everyone can get in there or only the people who are actually holding HzH.

The only people that have unrestricted access are those in the alliance holding HzH. However, people that aren't in that alliance can be invited to the elite mission. All you have to do is find someone in the alliance willing to bring you in.

Yes and that is why a regular group will never do it. A regular group can't get in there. I can't wait to try one of these. My guys aren't far enough though, soon I say, soon.

The 'regular' players would be screaming and dying before the first room was clear. Then we would have 1000 threads to make mission easier.

Good job guys

Good job guys Well, how should we know... it's not like we can try the mission.

Just a quick 2 questions, I saw screenshots of the Luxon Elite mission and saw that all 3 greens were dropped by their boss, and now I've seen all 3 bows dropped by Urgoz, does that mean there is a 100% dropping chance when the boss is killed? If so, that would raise my chance of getting such a bow by like... 99%.

And, does the tree bow come in a droppable skin? As in, does that typ of bow drop somewhere else in Cantha (if so, I'm guessing Kurzick)?

I have one question.

WHO ARE YOU HIDING YOUR BUILD FROM?

Honestly, thats the most elistist shit to pull.. ZOMG SOMEBODY MIGHT SEE OUR TEAM BUILD/BUILD FOR THE MISSION ONLY WE CAN PLAY! THEY MIGHT EVEN THINK ABOUT PLAYING THE MISSION!

Stop hiding your builds, i doubt they're anything special anyway. A few boonprots, a tank, some damage dealers, battery, maybe an MM.. :/ Really, we don't care.

The mission is not easy, but it isn't really all that hard either. It is like Tombs pve, when that first occured, was intense at first, but with good coordination, you can pull it together and do it with any build. Some will just be more effective than others. The most important thing to remember is, this is not an activity for a pug. This takes coordination and honestly, TS, or Vent is a MUST!

Tombs however, is cake compared to this

I have one question, if you don't care or think they are special, then why do you care so much if they hide them or not? Seriously.

I don't know, i was just wondering? Inquiring to how you guys did it? Did i say i didn't care what build you were running? Too lazy to check. :x

Edito,

Oh, when i said 'we don't care' i meant it in the context that we don't really care what kind of build it is, we'd just like to see what it is.. (or at least, i would. ;P)

I've managed to anger plenty of people today, why stop now.

First, congratulations on finishing the supposedly hardest mission in factions, good job, you surely deserve a reward (and got one ).

But in all honesty, who cares? It's not like other teams were taking shots at it, trying to get to the end. If my team was the only one that could go into FoW, would it matter much if I "won" it? To myself and my team, yes. To the general people of the game? Big deal, you are the first to beat a mission only you had access to. Yay? (not your fault in any way, a problem with the system)

The hostility is so thick in the air, I could cut it with a Jitte. This thread is turning into a whole new topic.

Either way, good job beating the Elite mission. There wouldn't happen to be any new area unlocked after you finish it, would there?

we made it to Urgoz earlier today with 3 err7. 1 monk way in the beginning and 1 monk pretty close to Urgoz and a W/Mo at Urgoz. We could have beat him if our 2 monks didnt error 7.

Whats the secret to those popups near Urgoz that suicide bomb you?

I like how you seem to think I was part of the group that did the elite mission. I've never attempted it, nor am I part of an alliance with a glimpse at it currently. (and yes that's a hint to the controlling alliance if you need a mesmer for mission!).

I highly think that's a lie... ok... the boss is uberhard... but the other weapons i've seen (all 3 of Luxon elite and the Urgoz Longbow) have 15>50, then I don't think there's one weapon with 20>50.

Whats your builds? i don't care i have my own ...orginal? umm theres only so many you can use whose to say you will suck all ass using thier builds? Anyway...

Good job, but my problem is this....we all paid for the game the same as any "leet" team/guild, why should it be restricted to just the top players???

This is much like trying to get into a good team for HoH, and win the hall, guild group OR not, yet again anet decideing to turn gw into a pvp like environment, which had good sides and bad, but wtf allwoing content to be axcessable to only a top guild/allaince, that would only allow a given amount of players anyway.

So did i get my 50/70 $ worth of this game? i honestly don't have words to describe my anger or whatever you want to call it whining etc etc..

This has just cheepened my opinion of the game...and it's developers.

You stared out with a great concept and the graphics are great but now your falling into the way of the real world, ...your skin color, your money, your women your friends your car...etc

Very disapointing.

Yeah yeah i know the whole idea behind a "guildwar" and all that ...just like some of the stuff in the books a lot of us read, but now just like the world your seperating the hardworking man from the rich and famous if thats what ya wanna call it, the "i'm better than you...nahaanhaanhaa" syndrome.

Some might say Hey it gives us something to work toward, yet it doesn't give us something to look forward to. Content that only the "choosen" few get to see. Befriend a member of of one of these top allainces...yes let's all kill our guilds, split from our friends and people we have grown to know and like etc etc....all for the love of content.

I dunno maybe i'm just ranting then again...shrugs.

Gods don't always favor the best of the best...and if they do then i say the "Gods" are flawed, and we are better off without them.

Don't get it twisted this is not a diss to thoses that reached and beat this mission, i say good job and great for you, it give us lower on the pole guys to see some of what we cannot, i just don't think it fair as i paid the same for the game as everyone else, it's like denying the uw or fow to anyone who doesn't have over 500k in their bank.

And don't give me this over 1 million sold bs...same as a pvp'r talking crap to me and trying to show off his so called lvl 8 rank which could be a few lvls lower, doesn't mean shit to a pvp'r, so go stuff your rank emote.

Disturbing on so many levels.

So what? then its not unique? who cares ...

They should have better used the old fow/uw system or anything else where everyone can acces it at same point ...

OR they should have made something besides the elite mission. because there is NOTHING when you finished the game.
