Shroud Speed Runs

[Mhykke]

Still say 17-19 minutes doable.....we had to kill lion twice in part 2......maybe an off peak time run to cut out some of the lag would help:

Here we are with some great friends and great players beating our own time with 20 mins. Pretty slick run so I'm not entirely sure if we could shave alot more time off this run since we didn't idle too much. Maybe at most 2 mins more if we had gotten lucky with the best LT group. Anyways as always, a nice little screen shot to confirm. Keep it up guys someone's gotta break 20!

You think doing it off peak hours would help?

If that reduces lag at all, it might be the best way to get under 20...the lag is just killer.

And congrats on the time!

All of our speed runs have been later at night, but not planned that way. The lag is still heavy, especially in part 4.

that was lots of fun as far as lag goes, seems like the more dps you have the worse the lag gets. didnt matter tho since he went down before the blades even got there in the first round, lol.

[boldarblood]

Man you guys are lucky to make that time with Art healing :P It's always his fault.

Good job guys.

[Doktr_Strangelove]

Lag didn't seem that bad for me this time as the first 22 min run but I didn't bother waiting to see if people got hurt but periodically just spammed mass heals figuring that the group would get him down in one pass. I find it funny when there is always a difference in what we see and hear and comments from people over voice. Good thing is no one lagged out so bad that they couldn't still run to the shrine before phase 5. Outside of the time, I just want to point out that I doubled the warchanter in kills somehow where I never made any attempt to kill anything unlike that killstealing Dymanda! Anyways, it just seems like we've been doing them later in the evening since we're all from different guilds and each group does a few things with thier own guildies before we find each other to do something a bit different. I will say that I'll make a point not to take Okri on a run again... or at least not to heal him specifically.

Bah that is because I was too busy healing and buffing while you were looking pretty...

Ok so because of our ability to do the shroud fairly quickly we just started running them more often with a bunch of people from different guilds just to get em done in one day for most of us then we'd get back at it in 3 days. After all this time we fluked out and finally broke the 20 min mark. Nice work people!

Did you let jubblies die on purpose again? gj guys, but would have been 18 if i was there

Actually, she wasn't the only one... the lag got so bad she was one of like 3 people who were full health... then dead! She was pretty surprised herself but she didn't flip me off this time... or maybe I'm just used to repressing her comments to me of the 'you let me die again Dok' nature. Even my offhanded comments about the uselessness of warforged didn't equal Repairrobot's death... he somehow survived. We missed a few of the record setting players from before so it's nice to see that the little speed run methodology we've come to know has spread amongst a lot of good and capable players from around server (I think there was 4 different guilds in this run) to pull off good times without having to really think about or plan a record breaking run. I think this was shroud run number two of six for the evening and turned out to be the best yet!

[Doktr_Strangelove]

Well here we are again with yet another record breaking run with some of the same some of the old on our latest speed run day off raid timer and again run #2 of 6.... we'll see if I repost again after we're done for the night!

[mehlinda]

Oh yeah I forgot about that lag in part 4. It seemed that we had so much DPS going on that the instance slowed down to a crawl. I know I lost a lot of swings to the lag.

I have been in 2 runs where we killed fiend in 1 round in part 4. On both occasions there was so much lag that we were still fighting him and seeing damage after we got the message that he was dead for more than 5 seconds. I have talked to others who have said they had little to no lag on 1 round kills but on both occasions where i was in the group the lag started as soon as we were beating him down and ended after he died on my screen. i t was my impression that the damage output was causing it.

we experienced the same thing on our runs at about 10% healthin part 5 all of a sudden people would just drop dead as if a whole bunch of damage caught up with them

[nakedfatguy]

Told you it'd be 18 if i was there!

nice job guys, that was fun.....crazy lag tho. you guys were saying "18 mins!" and i was still fighting him

I belive the lag gis not soo much the dmage beign doen but a large amont of HIt information have to travel bakc and forth to the server ie lots of TWF peopel doing Weapon dmage+sneak+force+holy+aicd+slicing+busrts X 2 weapons, THEN if your doign a one round kill often about 15% is when the blades might start to get to the group adding a TONE of more information swarmign back about the AE dmaage the blades are doing....

Teh key is when you start geting 'DPS' lag just ahve your clerics cast the healign spells every few seconds no matter what peoiple look like 99% of the time this will kepe every one up. you dotn see the damage or the healign it just sorta happens any way
