    Legit timers were some of the best for the entire mod for runs, no GS bull <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> and 2 round instances were aplenty.

    The issues they are not quite as good now, is simply, not enough of are running them at the moment, and you will not see more then 5-6 legits in most instances.

    i mean I got 400 linus this mod.. with legit timer mostly. with over 95% success rate and it was higher until last couple weeks.

    Most of us have the linus we need. I run a odd one just for fun now.. but thats about it. The timer on the whole, for all channels is a bit worse on the weekends, as super casuals come into play (you know the poeple who dont bother with gems, fight mobs during dragon phases or stay 30 meters back from clerics.) even the "say" hey man, move up, do this" gets a "screw you" comment from those guys.

    If you got your boons and the 15 linus, you should be good for next mod, Tiamat in mod 6 , will be very hard, and because you cant make up a team, will be almost undoable.

    What is funny is that my main has a GS of 16k. I can't even imagine how hard it is to get a TR's GS way above that . . .

    Oddly enough I find it significantly less frustrating to grind the secrets and sigils to buy the books, than to go to 90% Ultra-LagFest-3000 (I don't blame the clerics but my non-gaming laptop here :)) Temple of Tiamat and get Linu's ... and that is also why I've yet to get the last two boons...

    I can just suggest you one little thing: join legit channel, get there the timer to enter Tiamat or just get a good timer from elsewhere. So most runs will be successful

    It won't work. Timers in legit have never been more successful than spamming F while standing near the door.

    To OP: don't play tiamat during the weekend, it's the time during which weekend warriors, the most incompetent players in this game (and this tells a lot about them, considering how easy the game is), massively join every single instance, even #1 or #2, and make the fight a miserable experience. I have yet to succeed in a pug during the weekend. Only week days have been successful so far.

    Actually the issue is that they've been using the same timers for weeks now. I had the same experience until they changed the rules to standard timers. Which becomes a simple economic problem (In the sense of decission-making behavior under incentives). Using the same timers repeatedly mean that every success makes more people (especially people who are not from the chanel and will not listen to advice or coordination) have success at those times so more people use them. It's a 25 man instance. Which means if 40 legit and 60 randoms all use the same timer you end up with 5-15 members of your group per instance over 4 instances.

    Wtf do you mean 'legit channel'?

    Sorry, English, please. I have no friggin' clue what that even means, and I have been playing this game for quite a while now

    20K GS CW? Ok, sorry, that's BS.

    24K? Now you are lying, it's not even possible..

    With an attitude like that you will be kicked from legit and any other channel. Kicked - just like Tiamat kicks your butt (and hopefully will continue to do so)

    Isnt it just wonderful that to play the game with any level of sanity, you have to eventually stumble upon
    the coded messages and actions of the group...otherwise...

    OP has been posting rants all over the forums. Take it with a grain of salt.

    OPs post history has been nothing but rants. But at least they can be counted on for mild forum entertainment.

    Much as I don't agree with the ranting, the idea of running Tiamat with one character enough to get those boons makes me feel puking-sick, to the extent that I will skip the boons if that's how it has to be. The idea of doing it that many times with all the characters I enjoy playing? Unfathomable. Utterly unfathomable, even if every single run is a win.

    I'd even be happy with a quest that allowed earning 1 Linu *per week* without having to do Tiamat. I can get Linu's favors by buying stacks of 100 coffers from botters and feeding them to the hoard, but Cryptic doesn't really want me to do that now do they?
