I'm afraid Turns 6-9 won't be enough to last for 3 months.

Wow! I never knew that people will actually spend 12 hours of their time to just finish one boss.

(found the info)

Yes it was a boss called Absolute Virtue.

The boss fight took about 18 hours for a group of players to defeat when Absolute Virtue was still new and caused people to become sick due to lack of sleep.



More current videos now is post-nerf Absolute Virtue and he can easily be defeated within minutes now.

And I'm sure groups had Twintania on farm, pre-2.1 nerf patch

I think the 18 hours fight was for Pandemonium Warden, some of the players fell ill after the attempt and it made quite a big headline, SE will certainly avoid doing something similar as players in actual fact, does not want very hard content, they simply want content that they can beat but others can't.

Ah yes now I remember. God it has been years since this nightmare of a boss fight was mentioned.

It was not only long but also one tough boss since he was one of two High Notorious Monsters.

With a good group, turns 1-5 can be farmed in 1-2 hours.

And how long again did it take all servers for that to happen? Oh, 3 months? That's what I thought.

[Tupsi]

Ah, there it is again.

It's been proven most skip through text and whatnot though, it was never exactly a secret in MMORPGs with quest grinds - Even SE skips through it when they were showing off the systems. (If they were trying to avoid spoilers as people would try to claim they wouldn't have shown it at all.)

It will last 3 months if they handle it the way they handled CT - Think about this: If LoTA didn't lock you out for a week, how fast do you think you'd have geared out your classes you play? Would you still be doing it almost a month later in terms of gear?

Plenty did, actually. On legacy worlds at least I don't know about new worlds.

[Aicasia]

What? Which MMO requires atleast 4-5 hours raid time?

WoW, for starters. At least it used to, I don't know much about the raiding scene these days. However I imagine that progression raiding, more so for 25 mans, could require up to 4 hours.

[Mook_Mook]

the only reason people didnt beat TT was because it was bugged and the TT was closed the majority of 2.0. So its not really an excuse I expect it will be on farm in 2 months giving people 4 months to log in once a week.

[LunarEmerald]

It's a good thing then that 2.2 will have more than just that.

You know the new tome will have a cap and you're gonna be spending 3 months getting gear better than myth. Buying true AF2.
