Turn 9 downed in less than one month after release

I am not surprized that BG downed it as quickly as they did, they are an awesome FC. Now for Other FC's trying to down this ( meaning the majority) is an entirely different question. If only 10-15 FC's can down it out of 300 that attempt it, then there is nothing to worry about.

Not surprised either really. Unlike the first turn there wasn't a 20 ilv discrepancy in gear and it's no secret that they've been at it pretty much all day every day till they got it down.

Pretty sure a lot of people could beat if there was a 1 week lock out holding people back.

This makes no sense. There's no lockout on turns you haven't beaten yet.

The big problem with Twintania was that no one could figure out how Twister's worked to literally save their lives. They made it a little easier on everyone, and even took it offline if I remember.

Also, judging by the screenshot, they died a few times. So no, I imagine it's not easy, even for a skilled group like Blue Gartr. Regardless, congratulations BG.

And that sword looks amazing. I want it.

I'm mad.

So very, very mad.

So very, very mad.

Seething I tell you, seething.

I'd like to think that any of us would be able to pass the turns if we had a dedicated group such as theirs. The circumstances to find such people are to rare and too few. I'm sure they've even got large quantities of time to practice with. It's very rare to find 1 person like that let alone 8..

What a shocker that a bunch of streamers that make money off of streaming all day beating content they can literally practice for hours on end while some people are busy working jobs that require them to leave there house. Sometimes I wonder if people can even tell the difference in how many hours they dump into this game compared to people who leave there house to go to work.

That's just the nature of the beast. People who work 60+ hours a week will rarely be a part of endgame simply because their time won't allow for a static (even if said player was potentially the greatest player in the game, pugging wouldn't get him/her that far)

Turn 5 was bugged and kept getting shut down because the game was rushed, thus it took more time to beat even with all the good skill. They had more time now to not screw up on the coding and they also didn't leave a whole tier of gear out like CT was supposed to fill in before it got taken out.

I don't understand how anyone was even remotely surprised by the timing on this downing. I consider myself a fairly average slightly above player in terms of skill level, and my own static downed T6 before the first reset the following tuesday after patch playing literally 3 hrs roughly each night. I also took time to consider that there are other groups, better skill wise, with better gearing luck and much more time for raiding 6hrs+, factor in how fast the turns including T8 were getting downed by multiple groups each week, there's probably several groups not only BG that have been on T9 i'd wager since last week and have just been ironing out mechanics.

If BG releases a video, the downs will come quickly soon after. These turns were a skill check for sure vs a DPS, or HP Check. Skill checks do not sustain with a lot of the end-game community. Its no different then Titan Extreme in terms of skill. Skill is flexibility,adaptability, understanding, planning, etc. Factor all that into any fight and they're all doable. Keeping that solely as the only mechanic to wall content though is horrible. Way back when, people were failing turn 4 horribly because of the DPS check. Then even after the T5 kill vids were up people were failing dive bombs or tanks getting one shot by death sentence.

Look at the new turns, which honestly felt dangerous?. T7 is probably one of the most skill requiring turns atm, albeit with assumingly t9 as well. People say t8 is a dps check, and while that is true in basic instance planning, its not valid as a DPS check, if you completely eliminate a need for a off tank in the instance mechanically, thus opening the spot for a 5th DPS.

it's all depend of the skill of the player. why did they dump soo many hours, mostly because they have done it with the minimal in equipement, i'm sure with a bit more stuff they will down it easily.
what someone with a work can't do? if he is dedicated, he can spend 3-4 hours per evening at only do this with a group of good player i don't see why they can't do it.
