So... In Monday's patch vSP HM nerf incoming?

Elsonso

Could not watch this. Is it worth going back and watching it?

WhiteCoatSyndrome

@lordrichter They got to Zaan without issues but spent about an hour getting brutally murdered by her over and over again before giving up and killing her on non-HM. So, depends how much you enjoy watching someone die over and over again.

Being down under I may not get to see it but can we get Arun down of gear they’re running on forums please

Personally, I appreciate that ESO has such difficult content. The devs got close! I think their best run they got the boss down to 32%? It's doable, for sure, and I think it's really good to have challenging content that everyone could work towards completing.

I don't remember everything, but two of them were running Kagrenac's Hope 'just in case'.

For what it’s worth, they completed the entire thing on hard mode in about 35 minutes earlier that day. Performing in front of a live audience is tough!

Uh huh. Video or it didn't happen.

Sounds like they needed more coffee for the live run.

Done on live or on the PTS with god mode enabled?

Maybe they had too much coffee before the Live run...

Rich needed his apple juice

That, and its hard to do in front of a live audience w/o swearing overtly.

p.s. I think Rich may need a swear jar

Playing on PTS is sorta like cheating. They don't have to deal with the lag and latency spikes experienced on the live servers.
What we want to see is them do it in the game, not the PTS server.

I am all for having some sort of penalty whenever someone swears. Say, every time someone swears we get a screenshot of content from the next DLC?

Recremen

They were wonderful and they did wonderfully, very entertaining the whole way through.

They aren't going to give up their live server character and account names, for extremely obvious reasons. The PTS is good enough of a representation.

More than that... PTS has the templates they need in case their Live characters are not properly suited for the content.

Right? 'Omfg look at my body are you fing with me right now?!'

@ZOS_GinaBruno
Changing my hostile AoE indicators to match Finn's bright white ones might be the best decision I have ever made, so thank him for that for me.

Aside from that, the show was fantastic. Lots of fun.

I was about to go to bed when I decided to check this out. Ended up watching the whole thing and enjoying it immensely. Not only did I learn a lot of the mechanics of the dungeon (especially of the final boss) but I got to laugh my ass off as the devs wiped over and over when they made tiny errors. Given how many huge errors I usually make myself in dungeons (I am no elite player!), this made me feel much better about my own wipes.

Some choice memories (not exact quotes):

“Let’s do this.”
“Uh, guys, I need a heal.”
“Fire! Ice dudes! Stay out of the poison! Interrupt!”
“I got the rez! Uh...no I don’t, I’m snared.”
“Wrobel’s dead again.”
“I’m turned to stone.”
“I got thrown back over the edge!”
“OK, no scroll.”
“Guys, Alcast says he’ll send you a guide tomorrow.”

@Alcast Did you end up sending them that guide?

Merlin13KAGL

They ended up being victims of their own bugs, and appropriately so.

We'll disregard that they went in with healer and one DPS sporting Kagrenac's (which is typically not going to be a standard setup, nor should be required in almost any content to pull off a rez.)

I am a little skeptical about the lack of damage the tank was tanking in the earlier parts.

I did

To be fair tho apparently they managed to finish it in the morning when they "practiced" hehe

Lol, I was right!

Scalecaller Peak
Zaan the Scalecaller (Hard Mode)

- Anyone protected from Pestilent Breath will now be safe, even when they happen to be in an area where the ability overlaps.
- The Orb of Stone's beam will now remain active longer to avoid the beam disappearing when you are actively seeking the Petrification effect.
- The Orb of Stone’s beam now requires less time before applying the Petrification effect.
- The additional monsters created by activating Hard Mode will no longer occasionally persist when you fail the encounter and Hard Mode is not yet activated.
- The Leimenid will now correctly spawn a geyser when it dies, even if it was stunned or otherwise disabled.

To be fair: they said before the run there were fixes coming and they wouldn't be in effect for the run.

Still funny though.
