Post your "Fastest" Elite area times!

We list "non-ursan" because it is a different style of play, not because we're being self-righteous. It's not a debate, just what we do. There's no need to call us out on that, saying "two thumbs down" is a little rude don't you think? We share our times because people are curious (at least I assume that's why the thread was created), not because we care what people think. Epeen is ftl.

Let's leave it at that I don't feel like derailing the thread any further.

The OP is about "fastest elite area times, I think it is good to see different players using different builds to achieve very remarkable times. I see no reason why anyone should belittle the builds others used. Let's stay on topic please and share fast elite area times.

PS the argument about Ursan good or bad doesnt belong here.

And there you go, the LOD alliance currently holds the record for the fastest FoW HM run in 44 min.

A joint LOD/SCAR run.

Another screen from the same run in case anyone wants to scream photoshop.

Mod Edit: Next time, please EDIT your post

Sry, was 2:00 AM when I made the post

your alliance looks fun

Lol, we are also very humble...


Anyhoos to recap these are our current times in elite areas:

Urgoz HM 35 min
FoW HM 44 min
UW NM 1:15 min (no PvE skills)
UW HM 1:42 min (still debating whether or not to go back there to work on this time)
DoA HM full run + Mallyx 2:42 min
Duncan HM 17 min
Slavers Exile HM full run 1:19 min

Some calls within the alliance atm to take a break fro all these "epic runs", so we maynot be doing runs for record time for a while.

So now what, the LoD alliance now holds records for FoW HM and Urgoz? Hehe we rock

Shout out from SCAR, we loves our alliance

Yes we do Labrat, but there are a lot of good PvE guilds out there who hold records we do not. This is all in good fun as GW players are searching for something to do before GW2. Keep up the fast times everyone.

Hmmmm sooo I just wanted to verify something..the beta comes out late this year but the game doesn't come out til late 2009?

Lets not start saying guild x is the best guild and lets not start saying guild x is bad for whatever reason. Both are borderline trolling and will be deleted.

I enjoy this (mostly) friendly competition, and feel it is an interesting, community-developed aspect to GW. Since there seems to be some debate on what is "leet" or not (ursan, consumes, etc.) I propose we devise split formats for PvE. I only see the need to make two formats, but others may want to suggest more, so here it goes.
"Open" would be anything available to all players. "Limited" should be no PvE skills, and no consumables.
Of course, the Limited format is going to require a certain amount of honor among those reporting/competing with each other, but there seems to be enough people that choose to run something that excludes this or that to warrant a classification of it's own.
I prefer the Open myself, so I will let others debate about how to further classify the Limited. Or rename it, or change everything I just posted about, etc. I just thought it might be good for the community to try to establish some guidelines on how to compare accomplishments as opposed to arguing about what team build is more "leet."
Please let's try to keep this civil, because I think this type of competition may have the potential to develop into something really cool for everyone.

here is our last uw time record breaker

Here's one from me xD

Damn we rocking tonight

the power of teamwork.
this is our latest time withme holing off mindblades as we complete the last one

Bleys, lets count the amount of "PhotoShop!" spamming nubs we get.[IMG][/IMG]

And the Deep record is held by PuGs. Which is more impressive?

I still don't see why "fastest" elite mission time should be catagorised subject to build type. Like I said before, it's about the fastest times and finding the most suitable build is only part of the challenge. When looking at the sort of times we're achieving it's pretty obvious you need to do more than your standard ursan team to pull off some of these times - so there's a degree of skill invovled in the pulling, splitting or whatever else your team decides to do to speed things up.

Good job on the UW times, by the way

I personally agree with this, wholeheartedly. Skill, planning, and strategery all come together in these runs. I'm not sure why some people choose to limit what builds they can use, but hey, different strokes for different folks, right? So, extremely valid point on the entire point of the thread. Just go with the fastest times period, and if others wish, they can make a new thread about fastest (whatever?..limited, traditional?) build times for elite missions.

the 35 minute post we made did take huge teamwork especialy at the start we had a rough start and a few unexpected deaths and we started off slower than we normaly did but managed to tunt it around so well into a record time as a testement to our coperation and improvising our tactics on the spot. there are some really fast deep runs adn imo.. anything under 50 mins in fow is really impressive since you cant teleport around like UW.

our team splints 3 ways at once and our backline completeley changes mid map from 1 hb 1 sb to 2 sb.. and sometimes 2 hb/ sb hybyrds.
quite complicated and tough to pull off without voice coms since you dont have time to type a dam manual everytime you need to adapt to a situatuion.

we also take a pug or 2 quite often so its not always the same, and are starting to get a larger playerbase of people that are familiar with our strange tactics as a result of pugging a few.so NO you dont have to be leet to join us, you just need vent and to folow instructions.any group can pull of under an hour no vent no nothing.. if each member masters his part in the group and everyone has a good overall comprehention of the big plan. we typed up a big guide and everything when we achived 43 minutes and a few things have changed, but
that guide is still garanteeed under an hour if folowed properly.
