    No, I don't go in for masochism
    Not I. More so after watching some many videos of beyond hardcore gamers. Runs spoiled by random bad luck one shot wrong place wrong time mechanics. I don't mind things being difficult. But extreme difficulty and extreme RNG at the same, yeah..... no thank you. I'll humbly pass. :wink:

    @Humatiel Or just under 50% of the player base that use the forum and have any interest in vmsa cannot do it. The forum users tend to be those that have the greatest emotional investment in the game and roughly 1/2 cannot or will not do it.

    Anyway this is not a nerf thread, this is purely for interest. And I apologise for the incomplete poll option list to those who wanted other options.

    Mostly I wanted to know how many pure 1st person players had completed it...

    Spent some time there on my magplar and magblade a while back. But since I know multiple people why have flawless and did 200+ runs without getting a desired weapon I decided that it's not worth farming it for weapons for my stam chars.

    I have completed it on my Stamblade and got to round 5 on my stamplar with PVP gear on got bored and went to PVP.Going to do it again on my stamplar after I beat it on my magblade just need to finish lore book hunting.

    Also @BruhItsOver9000 the Vet MA 2h is better than a regular 2heven on a NB you use it for the free 180 weapon damage that isn't a proc and get all the time. You only have the enchat for 4 seconds.In PVE the Duel wield is the strongest in the game by a lot.It out DPS your surprise attack by a lot.I only play on my stamblade in PVP man and in PVE and your wrong about the weapons being useless but I told you that in your thread

    I am finally working on it slowly instead of trying to get my first completion all at once. I'm taking it one stage at a time and learning the mechanics. My goal is to complete at least one stage a day.

    IMO, this is the way to do it. Once you "learn" the round, it becomes sooo much easier. The first time I passed the last boss, i spent 3 hours on him. The second time, it took 3 tries.

    So just taking time and clearing rounds methodically to learn them, then worrying about blazing through it later is a good call. And grab sigils, etc. as needed while learning. A few percentage points of damage done to a boss or another trash mob killed is progress! Baby steps.

    You're strange. :p

    I'll keep running until I get a sharp lightning, a sharp 1H axe, and some additional sharp fires and daggers so that I don't have to share. Which means... I'll probably keep running indefinitely. :'(

    Completed on mag nb, stam nb, stam DK, and quite frankly I enjoy it. It's a great training ground to progress and become a better player.

    I'm convinced anyone can complete it, it just takes 1 of 2 things, either lots of skill, or lots of patience. When I first started I had 0 situational awareness. I'd focus on where the boss was and would die to aoe or mobs... Or poison plants, man I hate those. And it took me a long long time to finish it. But sticking with it and doing one round at a time I became a much better player and can now even complete it in under an hour.

    So to all those that say it's to hard, just keep at it and I'm sure anyone who really wants to, can complete it.

    vMA weapons add only 50 wd to my build and I lose out on the chance to proc my enchants. That's pvp though..

    In pve they can be op. The DW combo can be ridiculous and probably needs to be toned down.

    I think Flawless conquerer is impressive, doing it on every class and resource is impressive but actually doing the dungeon...I'm not so sure. Most people that are failing this dungeon just don't know how freaking easy certain things make it, like stamblade TBS, VO, and trap beast. Mechanic? who needs mechanics when you can blow stuff up. People act like there is this big divide between the quality of player but it's really a matter of knowledge and how much initial suffering the person is willing to undergo to cross the divide. People who haven't done it, are they really below everyone else? or do they just have more respect for the quality of the time they spend?

    I've slowly been whittling away at it again since they added the save feature. Before that I always got stuck, frustrated, and rage quit on Seht's Flywheel. Now I'm on the final boss and slowly memorizing those mechanics and spawnpoints death-by-death.

    Got to stage 9 on stamDK and magSorc. For the life of me I cannot get past round 3. On my stamDK, I just take too much damage. On my magSorc, I get behind on adds and get overwhelmed. Stupid nightblade stuns. Even PvE nightblades are cancer.

    I've gone it a couple of times and tried Stage 1 to compare to Normal.

    But I've not felt the desire the spend several hours in "high alert" mode when there are other things I want to do in the game.

    I'll get around to it eventually, though.

    Simple question, have you completed vma?

    Completed it on all classes, without the use of any sigils, but I only rerun it on my malubethplar - it's so easy it's not even funny, it feels so casual compared to the zergtrain survivals that this build I use is meant for. It's cheese, definitely, but I don't feel like putting too much effort in it for no reward when there are easier options available, especially when I have a build and setup that fits both situations equally well.
    Sometimes, I dream about...cheese...
