Lovin' the Speed Shroud Trend

[nakedfatguy]

when i'm leading, i dont mind someone lootin and then /death prt5 to get out quick. if only 1 or 2 are doing this its not that big of a deal really. As long as they ask before clicking to join, i dont really mind.

people who dc in part 5 wont get sent to korthos as long as somone stays in the instance to keep it open. the only time i've missed out on chests is one time, when the server crashed. so in 600 or so runs, i've missed out on 1 set of chests, pretty good odds.

like everyone is saying, once you've done a true speed run, its the only way to go. who cares what the lieutenants are, just pop them asap drag the ele south and get it done. its so easy now, theres no reason to sit around discussing it for an hour.

i normally hate puggin, but its been fun gettin some puggers in lately and showing them speed runs. seeing them get excited about a 1 rounder or a 20min run. kinda neat to see it thru "fresh eyes" again....god, we need new content soooo bad

Instead of crying and complaining how Matt runs his shrouds just dont join them if you dont like it. Just like we wont join shrouds done the other way.

If you have anything to contribute to the discussion, this isn't the best introduction. How about you try that again, but turn down the ass?

So do we by the way. After I see who is available in my guild and knights of the phoenix we grab a few others perhaps and then lfm goes up. I take the first of whoever asks to join unless multiple people ask the same time then I grab the guy I know or have run with before..

Edit: You can always craft at the end of a raid and what is better you don't hold up the other 11 people in the raid..

u know u can count me in on your runs if I have ppl off timer :P since i am barely on when my guild runs them anymore due to screwy work schedules every week

lol so you like the peeps crying in this thread ? , I was just making a point and others here agree with me.

So its ok for you to be a smartass? oh ya its your thread i forgot.

Trust me i havent even come close to showing my ass yet.

I made this comment in the regular power shard thread. Intersperse your new characters in guild on different runs. Run one new character on each shroud and get them your shards pulled. It can take a few runs, but they will likely have all the shards they need quickly..

Lol Im still crafting haste/rez/earth clickies and such for all my toons even my old ones, not to mention 2nd set of dbl shard weapons, I have alts with 80 finishes who still need shards.

Im really just wondering if people who need shards can straggle behind open chests and the group still do a speed run- or if 2 or 3 chest openers would mussy it all up--if you guys have ever done it that way.

Well moops as Nakkid said above we have had guys that don't want to complete before and they just straggle behind and open the chests but as long as its more like 1 or 2 and not 3 or 4. It sounds like you guys must farm the heck out of the Vale quests. We honestly don't have much of an issue with shards - I mean we have some people like Mantra who regularly runs with us who have a gadzillion gs items and weapons, but even he gets its shards. There has to be a way you can work it out as a guild so that people can get their shards because 80 runs is ridiculous.

Could be complete boredom driving us to craft more. . .Seriously, now I'm all into crafting Symbol of Weakness clickies for all my toons--and it is prob boredom driving me to do it even look at this other stuff.

But alas, I give away alot of 1st tier shards to anyone that is new--guildie or non guildie, or people I know that haven't crafted as much as I have, or people that haven't had any luck getting one--I knew a guy that went 13 runs without getting a first tier shard.

Anyway, will try speed run with 1 or 2 people staying behind and see how that goes.

Not sure that's something to be proud of, but okay.

I've been personally hosting speed runs for my guild, and filling in with pugs, every monday and thursday for a couple months now. Speed is definately where its at. I have to agree with the boredom thing, since mod8 was practically a waste of space due to the randomness and general crappiness of the end reward. Shroud is the only thing left for me to do that will actually yield something favorable other than bloodstone, choker, mask, etc runs (which have also come to frustrate me nearly as much as trying to get a tome from reaver). So far, ive only had a few people bail in part 5, by means of ddoor or death right before completion. Most people that run with me have soooo many toons, completions dont hurt them.
