Guise camp: go to bed

[edmazur]

I'm finally high enough level to /list for Guise. I don't know if this is a representative experience, but...

It's currently been about 20 hours since the last Guise dropped. The current #1 has been at the camp for around 38 hours. I myself joined about 10 hours ago and have moved from position 11 to position 9 in that time. Hopefully just bad luck!

Well that was kind of funny. A few minutes after my post, a Guise dropped! Drought over. Position 8 now.

#1 @ Rubi BP was there ~38 hours this week.

If you only notice the times it takes forever to drop, its easy to forget about those other times like 9 guises drop in a day, or 4 rubi bps, or whatever. RNG gonna RNG but I still think the /list system is the best possible antidote to the sociopathic neckbearding that would be happening without it.

I've camped gynok in befallen sooo many times. Like 8 times on green alone cause its an easy camp to farm while you're mostly afk at work or whatever. Sometimes it's taken like 17 hours, other times only a couple hours, and once I literally had a 2nd gynok spawn directly after the guy before me got his.

Should never take 20 hours for a guise to drop though.

How the hell are you guys staying awake for more than 35 hours on a /list?

I feel like we're breaking some world records for people staying awake here.

Probably account sharing or crack/speed addicts <shrugs>

Well, that was quite a ride. I added myself to the list sort of on a whim, but learned the hard way that the longer you go, the tighter the grip gets. After a certain point, you no longer consider turning back because you've already sunk so much cost in that you'd have to repay if you started over. I don't know how I'm still functioning after a 30 hour camp, but it was a fun group of people over the hours. I'm also now kind of questioning what I'm doing with my life, but I guess at least I got a DE mask...

Good luck to anyone else that tries - I hope you don't have multiple ~10 hour droughts like we did (bold annotations added by me):

Had a guildie go from #10 on Manastone to looting in about 28 hours, then one didnt drop for 30 hours after. RNG is RNG.
