    Default shroud question

    Was looking in the achievement section the other day and the speed shroud section caught my eye because we have been running it from 22-29 minutes each time while looting chests.

    We decided to see how fast we could go if we looted the chests at the end and compared it to the fastest times out there.

    We hit 18 minutes on our first attempt the other day. I wasn't impressed as it was behind by several minutes from the overall record held by Caffeine on sarlona. I re-read the thread today and i didnt see any faster time for shroud on argo. Surely this server has beaten 18 minutes. Im sure we(The Ancients and friends) can go faster by optimizing the party , maybe even bringing Blah or Mykke, hehe.

    here is the only screenshot i took. My GF says we missed 17 minutes by 6 seconds.

    So sad but true.

    yep there haven't been any real attempts in almost a year, I think. The last recorded argo run was 22 minutes

    Yeah most of my crew dont care to approach the record either or even try. Most are content to get their 4-5 22-29 minute runs a night in.
    As for myself... i find it exhilarating and dont really even want to run this anymore if we arent gonna blaze through it.

    Think you had caster by name Babacadabra who slowed you down otherwise you can do it faster if replace him with dps

    Nice time Babs! Wish I could get people on argo interested into trying true speed runs again seeing if we could drop the record a fair bit(on argo at least)

    nice run! I would have thought that argo would have been all over the speed shroud thing.. it always struck me as a server of power-gamers.

    I'm sure you'll be doing 15 (or better?) in no time.

    I know what you mean, but I feel the need to run with a random pug once a week just to remember how bad things can go wrong sometimes. If you have the time a chaotic run can be a lot of fun as well.

    at the first sign of losing Argo as a server likes to present the front of not caring or indifference to avoid discomfort and embarassment.

    Your GF was timing you down to the second? She seems competitive... or bored. She needs a hobby.

    Think that some on this server were big into the speed run thing last summer and it fizzled out. I can remember a few friends really pushing it.

    at the time i was content with 100 percent completion percentage with 40 min runs.

    think im the one who may need a new hobby, i had her time it.

    Great run, reckon we could beat that time with a bit of practice and the right group. Nice work Baba!

    Looking forward to the next one.
