    Congrats guys!

    This "exploit" I hear about is clearly unavoidable and it's pretty insane how people are putting the blame on a guild rather than Zos. Just wait until Zos fixes their mess and see who is first it really isn't a big deal in my opinion. Dragon's is completely anti-exploit, any exploiting will get you removed from the guild even if it's not to do with trials.

    No one is blaming them for clearing it with speedrun while it is bugged. People are simply pointing out (and rightly so) that it is kinda silly to make a big deal out of it with a thread when it is clear they would not have accomplished it without it being bugged.

    And if they are so anti-exploit, why go to the trouble to cut the entire fight with St. Felms out of the video? Why not simply show everyone in which state you cleared it? Feeling ashamed perhaps? Who knows.

    Soooo there is like 2 raid guilds on EU and like 2 in NA that do this end game trials competitively...

    End game seems healthy

    Glad we balance game around pvp and not 100 people that play trials

    In case there’s anyone here telling themselves that there’s no way this could have been handled without this level of criticism, here’s how to completely fix the post:

    -add all the things you admitted once backed into a corner: the bug was there, you knew it was there, it seems to be what allowed you to get the speedrun, and of course, the sentiment that this is only a step on the way to getting the speedrun without the bug.

    Bit late now, though. Sure, you’d still have the salty “why does it matter is just a game why don’t you play like I play” comments, but every thread does.

    It’s just a game of course, no one has to take it seriously, but a “world first” post is going to draw the attention of those who do.

    Meh my post got deleted...

    - I was thinking... Leaderboards should get a small facelift and include how fast a trial was beaten and the date and time when it was cleared as well.
    - On PTS trials should be nerfed just like vMOL. On top of that they should be internally tested to make sure the mechanics works as intended.
    - OR trials should be released 2-4 weeks after a major patch.
    - Also trials sholdn't always be locked behind a DLC / EP.

    Maybe also because it is not balanced around anything(neither pvp or pve), it is just kinda random changes every 3-6 month independent of player feedback.

    If you get salty over this then go throw it at ZOS for screwing it up, as long as said guild did NOT abuse (actually doing) something to bug it out then it is not exploiting. Not their fault if they try and run the trial while one of the bosses is bugged like what else you gonna do.

    Yes they might not be able to achieve the speedrun with the current time if boss isn't bugged but also they can eventually achieve it since they are working on. Do I call it legit? Yes, assuming there was no exploiting which I believe is the case since I know these guys :) . You feel the achievement has less value cuz of the bug? sure why not thats up to you.
    Would other guilds have cleared it if they tried? Yes they could if they put time into it specially in its current state. Why didn't they? I guess focusing on something else like Boss+2 HM or whatever, not like all these guilds didn't attempt speed run cuz boss is bugged.

    For example, back in the days this bug happened to us
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHvj6zHI2-w
    Boss totally skipped his explosion for w/e reason and we continued killing him, if we didn't wipe there we probably got super fast kill and maybe helped us for crazy score. And I don't think we would have stopped there just cuz it was bugged. As long as we did not trigger it then not our fault

    Main point is, if for whatever reason you don't like some people you can not just diminish whatever they achieved by calling for exploit or w/e. No need to throw your salt/hate here.


    Congrats guys for speed run :)

    And made absolutely no admittance to the boss being bugged making your run a lot easier until 3 pages into the thread.

    People knew about the boss not teleporting 2-3 hours before we completed the speedrun, and the players I talk to about it thought as well it was a part of the patch that was that day. I didn't think it was something to "admit" until 3 pages into this thread either :)

    The lil children were so happy about beating the easiest vTrial. Was so cute.
    Difficulty scaling is desperately needed. 9 years. 6 paid expansions. 25 DLCs. 41 game changing updates including A Realm Reborn-tier overhaul of the game including a permanent CP160 gear cap and ridiculous power creep thereafter. I'm sick and tired of hearing about Cadwell Silver&Gold as a "you think you do but you don't"-tier deflection to any criticism regarding the lack of overland difficulty in the game.

    Well I wouldn't feel good with myself to post Achievment on the day bug lands without even mentioning it. It was like "many have tried, but we are the first". Yes, but they tried under other condition.

    Just feel alil sport, challenge and respect yourself. If you do this for a small amount you won't be capable to open such thread.

    is it easier than vAA or vHRC? Faster yes, its just 3 bosses easier? don't think so, has only done it in normal but its way harder than the craglorn trials who feels more like normal dungeons.
    No vet for me did vAA or vHRC but was an wipe feast with my old guild before morrowind.

    It's usually because we're the ones mainly coming up with tactics when it comes to trials, and we're tired of people just looking at our videos, copy pasting our tactics without having to put any effort into actually being innovative.

    But as said multiple times in the thread earlier, I would like to see more transparency from dragon crest's side about the speedrun where the dual wield was bugged, but nevertheless it's an achievement worth mentioning. Congratulations, and keep up the good work!

    Dragon's Crest was the first Swift Mercy clear and it's not their fault things are messed up. Heck I even feel bad for Zos here as well. Surely they didn't want their new trials first speed run to be mired in controversy.

    Once it's fixed I'm sure we will hear from a guild that gets the speed run w/things operating as intended but you all are still the world's first Swift mercy.

    W/out trying to lessen the achievement. I do think it's kind of the perfect ending for a month that has seen all kinds of issues in ESO.

    Here's to a better December to end what I thought was actually a really fun year of Scrolling!
