AV Developers Strategy

[Darkren]

Since groups have been PD-zerging Absolute Virtue for a while now with no nerf on this, have the developers released any more secrets of how it was intended to be beaten at 75 since the video release? i.e how they dealt with meteor spam, how the same players used multiple 2hrs, the time they killed it in, why earth staff pld etc

seriously?

this was all figured out a loooooong time ago

I'm asking if SE had released any official notes that were not obvious from the video after its release. You cant exactly figure out how long they fought for etc. Also not talking about player findings just there own written method as they fought.

SE hasn't released anything. Players have figured out most of the secrets. They're just no simple feat to pull off. With the level cap rise AV was left unchanged. Many games have bosses that are impossible or almost impossible and then become more winnable after a content update.

It would be nice if SE did release their notes so we can see how they did their full fight compared to how we have planned our own strategies on fan forums. Since its only really being zerged at the moment they might aswell.

You don't know crap. AV 2H were not the problem. Any 2H could easily be survived even manafont with fealthy and clever positionning. The problem is essentially centered around him being able to cast Meteor at any time under 50% HP (or something) without it being predictable.

It'd be nice if SE came out and in detail explained how they expected lvl75 AV to be defeated. All the smoke and mirrors over the years amounted to nothing but an enormous waste of time.

I'm kinda interested myself as well. Sorry that you don't seem to wonder what SE was thinking at the time. Kinda like when PW was 1st introduced. How did they expect anyone to beat that as well I wonder?

I'm pretty sure we know what they were thinking.

We know how they expected it to be defeated. It was just too difficult for the average joe to pull off.

Even if you disable him in all the various ways, when he puts his bracelets on, he becomes extremely dangerous. The bracelets phase is what ended things for most groups who made serious attempts on it.

And how was that?
