Challenge of Corell... NOPE

in General Discussion (PC)
Oh, but it's easy! All you need to do is take off all your gear... NOPE
and switch your feats and boons... NOPE
and your insignia bonuses... NOPE
and then run in circles while the enemies hit you... NOPE
Maybe you should get good... NOPE

Kiss my butt, you sadistic elf "deity".

    Yeah for some classes 30 seconds in combat with anything within your own level is just going to be impossible, for others the hard part is getting below half health in the first place.

    "Survive 30 seconds of combat while under half health"

    Reminds me of my last VT run, trying to survive Valindra's Hand... hmmmm

    EDIT: Other idea: Stand in lava while battling a Magma Brute :)

    Even if you can get your health down that far and keep it there, your mob will probably die, combat will end, and you'll fail after 27 seconds.

    It's a filler event and in many ways always has been. It's easy to ignore but you can get some free stuff if you do take part.

    Can't say as I mind having a slight let-up in the event bombardment though.

    Over the years the rewards are worth less and less if they did some rework or added some better rewards. I'd challenge every God out there lol.

    down with the gods....
    Wuakakeen is the god/goddess of junks
    Tymora is no longer goddess of luck, she became goddess of fools.
    Corolla is no longer god of elves, now became god of dementia
    Torm was the god of law, but became criminal defense lawyer

    you want real god of war, worship Grummish, the orcish deity.

    I thought this is the best for GF and OP. Let the mob (such as those in SH HE) beat you up to half HP. Walk around and never attack (just in case, it triggers life steal).
    If HP too low, drink a potion, bring up the shield.

    Other alternative, bring up a pet. Let the mob to beat the pet while you are walking around. Have a bell ready if the pet is down. That would save you another 10 seconds.

    When you get a challenge that isn't particularly suited to your character/stats/whatever... discard it and wait for the next one.

    this whole concept of "Challeges of Gods" doesnt work for some classes, or some are way too much absurd, it need full overhaul.

    Pretty sure that when you go above half health you fail. I know I tried and then my boons kicked in and it instantly failed.

    these challenges made by devs sound like he/she is 14 yrs old and not checking each class on what limits they can or not able.

    You fail if your health goes above the threshold, and you fail if you drop out of combat so your mob can't die on you either.

    The challenge isn't surviving, but simply meeting the requirements.

    Yeah exactly that. It is almost guaranteed to happen within the 30 seconds.

    You don't fail instantly. You just need to do it again within the time limit. That is why GF and OP are easily. They can stay below 25% and still have a lot of HP left. That is when you drink potion.

    Or, I am confused with another challenge. Need to find one to try again this time. :)

    I may forget about one thing. Ambush ring. :)

    Edit: I did mix them up. There is a under 50% HP and kill 5. The 50% HP does not need to be maintained in the whole duration.
    In addition, the ambush ring is now totally useless for PVE after the update.

    There areso many and so powerful passive suitability boons, insignias, gear and stuff that it's indeed almost impossible to do. I don't think the devs realize how hard it actually is to die to NPCs in this game, even when you're trying.

    Depends on your gear and class. 30 seconds is a long time in combat for ANY class. For some though it's survivable. For others only if you've got a lot of very good gear. Now factor in you've got to be below half health the entire time. Yeah.

    It's easy to die @diogene0, the difficulty is surviving at the thresholds...

    The challenge was created when the level cap was 60. It still wasn't exactly easy to do back then, but it was possible

    Yeah post 60 enemies hit waaaay harder. It makes it way more difficult on some classes, whilst the massive buff from uncapping stats means the allready tough ones by 70, (especially as your GS goes up), are just obscenely hard to hurt at all.

    No it's just not possible with all the passive survivability we got right now. I tried in dread ring with my cleric, I pulled 3 groups of npcs, which was the most I could get, and it would consistently fail due to the crazy passive self healing. When the NPCs could get me to 50% in the first place, which took quite a lot of time. I could just AFK in most of the daily quests zones while NPCs are attacking my character and I'd find it alive when I come back. I'm quite sure that if I had a bonding pet on it, the pet could most likely solo my daily quests that way. That tells a lot about the "challenge" in this game. Group content is in the same vein. And then the devs act surprised when bots are on a rampage. It's not surprising there are so many when it's just possible to sit there for MINUTES and not die to NPCs.

    I always seem to get "Finish a Heroic Encounter" - in Sharandar. Or, while on my HR, "Kill 5 enemies without using an encounter power"... Umm.... :-p

    My HR hasn't had a problem with killing 5 enemies without using an encounter power. His at-wills and dailies have been easily up to the task. Now opening 3 skill nodes, that is an entirely different matter since I stopped picking up and carrying around skill packs :)
