BS timed Speed Run quests

[Paura]

On theory you could do gb, bbbe, hv and bs speed runs twice per week which means 8 crests. So by that the prices are not so big beside the colour which should be lowere to 20.
After all speed runs are not ment to be done by everyone, no matter gear and group setup.

yes what you say already would make more sense if it were implemented

I might be lucky with my 3 runs since the patch without any teleport issues but the timer is fair IMO as this isn't supposed for everyone.
It's for groups working well together, where everyone knows the mechanics and the gear levels are high enough to kill fast.
Furthermore you can tweak the group setups like going with only 1 tank to add more damage, it's a speed run after all.

They just need to fix the age old teleport bug, time otherwise is fine.

How many times did you manage to finish in time to get the Mark? If you say so, it means you managed to complete it several times.

Two tries, two sucesses with 5-10 min time to spare.

Also Id like to add that on the 1st run we did, we also had people who got ported out and still managed to do it in time.

not sure if it is only hearsay or if it is true but the portal bug happens only if you use the teleport while mounted. i did bs with pug on thursday and we did it in 1h and 30 minutes wiping 2 times and having ppl ported to IC thanks to the bug so I suppose 1h and 10 minutes is actually a reasonable time if you are properly set. I didn't know about the timer being off, thanks for the head up.

How can a time of 1.10 hours be reasonable if you just contradicted yourself by saying that you had teleport problems?

Like it was mentinoned, if the bug is fixed 1:10 is reasonable...

People should ask if the whole timed quest is usefull. While fully geared players should have an incentive to go to the dungeons to have more frequently runs, people now start to select players based on their gear. At the end you have a BIS rr80 group trying to speedrun and the people that need the gear for progress are searching hours for tanks and healers...

Incentivise players who don't need BS to play with players who do, the problem being that rewards are too long to obtain and this leads to rr 80+ not being interested in this content.

The timer is wrong, it does not show the real time, it is not 1 hour and 10 minutes but 1 hour and 5 minutes, maybe even worse it is very random.

I speak as a noob of these particular content but as an old fart of mmos. Speed run dungeons are for players who already cleared it at the point of madness. Beside the bugs which definitely can frustrate players, I think it's more a challenge with yourself rather than a step to take. Rewards are there as a medal for the winner. Perhaps would be more appropriate to have rewards available for total time ranks. The faster the juicier. Even though I can tell you in another game with my crew just the time was enough to cheer us up. But this, eventually, it's not a pve game. I played yesterday for the first time ever a dungeon as a returning player from years ago because I got mauled like a seal pup in SCs to get better gear. It's fun, and players get less salty and more relaxed (well, some of them). And it's a good way to know other players and team up even for future ventures. In the end, it's always the healers' fault and don't pull you idiots, ltp losersXD (jk, best game and community ever, like an ex with the best sex ever. Always coming back)

Last BS run I was part off was so close to complete it in time, but than we all entered portal and were thrown to IC ….
Ye the timer is okay, but the bug with portals are anoying AF.
