Velious Solo/Duo Challenge Official Thread (and Trio/Group)

[Tewaz]

All the fake restrictions by Zuranthium do is make an attempt take longer. It's something that is a complete non factor but he's adding it for his own personal pleasure.

Can you not lull and fight your way to a mob? Sure. Can you make your charisma 50 to get more crit resists so you have to gate or cap and start over? Sure.

All it does is waste time. I doubt Z even plays on this server anymore but he spends all his time in the forums arguing to add more shit that makes the server more annoying to play. It's probably the lamest thing I've ever seen from a player.

Yeah I am not sure why he is trying to spearhead this effort based on his other comments recently:

It sounds like I shouldn't waste years of my life gearing another character on a dead end game, to do something that was solved long ago. It's not even possible to obtain BIS Monk equip right now, and the fight can already be calculated outside the game to determine if it's realistic or not.

I have more experience with this game than you do and far more skill as a gamer. Have you ever won tournaments and actual money? Ever ranked high globally at an actual competitive thing? No, you haven't. I don't need to log on and do anything. I've already played more than enough EQ since 1999. It's not the role of a retired athlete to spend their time on the field. They move onto coaching, officiating, or professional analysis to impart their expertise.

Zuranthium's best solo kill is apparently a Cliff Golem on a Druid:

He hasn't done any Velious Solo Challenge content that I am aware of. Yet he wants to suddenly do a guide on it.

DSM can you stop ruining yet another thread with your incorrect spam. I've done far more solo/duo content than you have. Even if the most I had ever done was a cliff golem with a druid, that's still more impressive than anything you've shown.

You always have a chip on your shoulder about people bringing classic mechanics to light. The lull changes are coming and nothing you say is going to stop it. This is absolutely not a "non-factor".

The entirety of doing challenges is mainly just a measure of time expenditure. It's all a "waste of time", unless you enjoy completing the challenge. Given that you don't seem to care about classic EQ in the first place, why are you even posting here?

This is the attitude that prevents you from actually making a solo challenge people will agree with. You are all talk, no show. Everybody else sucks except for Zuranthium, and Zuranthium doesn't have to prove it.

Other readers see this and take note. You haven't shown any velious solo challenge videos. I have.

So what? Thousands of people have done far more than you ever have. Most people just don't record themselves. There's not anything inherently different about killing something in Velious either, as compared to killing an equally difficult NPC elsewhere in the game world. Your videos show nothing special whatsoever. Everyone understands how to slow+torpor tank something on a Shaman and others do it with more efficiency than you and have killed much harder things than you.

As I keep saying, your attitude doesn't help you convince anyone.

Why would anyone want to do your challenge when you will just come back and say they suck every time? That it's all been done before and better (without proof)? You already discouraged Sscalez from posting more videos of challenges.
