What is the longest amount of time you have ever spent working on a dungeon?

Curious as I spent 7 hours last night and well into the morning with some guildies in vCoA. I have just started running group content, so needless to say, I was woefully unprepared. Luckily my guildmates are kind. We got to the second to last boss and just couldn't get in sync. We started getting tired, and lazy, which doesn't work. After several hours, trips to buy soul gems, remove someone's vampirism, and desperately beg for repair kits, we finally pulled off a deathless defeat of the boss. Unfortunately, by the time we got to the last boss, we were so exhausted that we had to call it quits when the sun came up.
I'm curious if anyone else has had experiences like this when you were starting out, or otherwise.
It was fun...but man was it incredibly stupid.

✭✭✭✭✭More than 4 but less than 6When craglorn dropped and that delve under the waterfall came out with all those spiders and the last boss with the poision lake, we spent over 5 hours learning the mechanics of that fight.
Super nerfed now of course.Tl;dr really weigh the fun you have in game vs the business practices you are supporting.1 -
Totalitarian✭✭✭✭✭More than 2 but less than 4If it gets to be over 2 hours, that means I'm not going on anymore. At that point everyone is tired and needs to take a break to refresh.
When learning, 2 hour dungeon runs is normal, but with an experienced group, longest dungeon is going to be vICP, taking at most an hour, all the other ones should be <30 minutes.
But I certainly remember those wipes and long runs in dungeons...PC NA CP 531+

✭✭I joined a group testing one of the first trials (Hel Ra) on PTS, before Craglorn was added to live server. I believe the general difficulty level of the enemies was much higher, and only a small number of revives permitted, and of course no one had done it before, so we did not understand the mechanics of the bosses, etc.
All twelve of us kept dying over and over at the air atronach boss, using up all the revives and having to exit the instance, regroup and start again. This went on for several hours.
Zero interest in trials after that, and more than two years later I've still never completed any.Edited by IcyDeadPeople on July 29, 2016 6:02PM1 -
Egocanemveresum✭✭✭More than 6 but less than 9If trials count more 6 easily, in just non-trial then after 4 hrs I usually call it.1

MarrazzMist✭✭✭✭<2 hoursI rarely feel I have enough time for running group content, so I've only done easy ones or with excellent guidance.1

✭More than 6 but less than 9It's been some time since I kept track of it, but I recall DSA taking over 6 hours when it was first released, although that is technically a trial...
As for dungeons, it's probably between 4-6 hours somewhere. vIP and vWGT were a pretty good time sink initially.Edited by Autolycus on July 29, 2016 6:53PM1 -

✭✭✭✭More than 4 but less than 6vCoA. Sad thing is we went right to the last boss then spent around 3:30 trying to kill the last boss. But it wasnt all that unexpected we were barely squeaking by the others and when you are just starting it is hard to pick up the slack when someone falters, because you still arent all that sure what you are suppose to be doing yourself.
Then you get into, well we do it this way. Well my friends said do this. Youtube did it like this. Ahh good times.2 -

✭More than 6 but less than 9Back when City of Ash came out I spent a long long time learning the mechanics with my friends, but there were also a lot of group bugs involved, which made it impossible to see everyone, lol. This was back before update 6.Edited by Saturn on July 29, 2016 6:56PM1
