Ok, simple, what factions on dreamweaver have succesfully completed all nine trials? Got hints,stories,opinons,etc....

Ok, Im sure regen will do it but is there any other faction with enought power, team work, and active players left to suceed?

    Regen got to trial 9 but we having to put it off atm due to we dont have enough ppl to do it...lets just say trial 9 will make you poo out gold bricks when you try it the first time. Anyways anyone else love the look of each instance o.o PWE finally made some decent looking instance Im really surprised with it and pleased.
    If I sound like I hate you, please don't take it personally...chances are I actually do.

    I probably won't be able to attempt the trials at all. Dead faction is dead. :/
    Some people risk to employ me

    Some people live to destroy me

    Either way they die

    We didn't have many on-maybe 30ish and got to the third one where the things just blow up the towers.

    Truthfully if factions such as regens didnt have enough people on it makes me feel beeter, because it seems like the players are so spread out now, lots of factions can't seem to have more that 30-40 on at any given time.

    Honestly how dead areas such as south bank was today-makes me worried about the games death speeding up.

    i think all this new content is fantastic and some of the trial's challenges are intelligent and challenging. +10 to pwi you have really impressed me for the first time in possibley 1 year+ regen started out the trials with 50+ people? i didn't really count but it went on for about 12 hours and but the 9th trial we was down to 15-25 people and had to stop for the night everyone was pooped b:faint

    My opinion is that it would be more fun for factions to encounter each trial and figure it out on their own. That was a big part of the fun for me last night (I was Regen for trials 5-9). Besides, it won't be long before someone with too much time on their hands writes up a nice guide on the general discussion or quest tips forums.

    For OP: definitely other factions besides Regen can complete this. I would say that if other TW factions are able to get about 50 people online and organized then they should be able to handle trial 9. As Bandit said, we were down to about 25 people by trial 9 and had almost no melee (I think 2-3 barbs and 1 BM) - it was an archer and arcane squishy fest. I would say trial 8 takes a decent amount of people as well. And I think even smaller factions that can get at least 30 people (lvl 100+), if they can get past trial 5 then they can do 6 and 7 no problem. One hint for trial 5: you'll want to have a cleric in each squad for BB as you need to split up (imo 5 is much harder than 6 and 7).

    Actually here is the most important piece of advice ... don't let someone start trial 9 before half of the people are in the instance, and some are still getting stuff from bank, getting repaired, base buffed, etc. Even with only 25 people and hardly any melee, if that didn't happen we might have made it pretty close. And to that person ... if it was an accident I forgive you ... but you're still a noob.

    2 biggest pieces of advice: read what the trial is before anyone starts it (would have saved us some time, but a few were started before we could read >.>). Second, make sure you have a decent number of melee/archers/casters, since some mobs will be phys or elemental immune. Also, trial 9 will require it.

    Regen finished the 9th trial today, it is brutal but entirely do-able.

    My brain is still a bit melted from the experience, so I won't try to write a guide till I've done it again. Best advice I can give is try to have at least 8 "perfect" squads (cleric/barb/bm/DDs), have them all on voice chat of some sort, and read carefully the instructions at the npcs before starting the quests (many can be started by anyone, so make sure everyone knows).
    If you make it to trial 8, focus on freeing one prisoner at a time. If you make it to 9, set up zhens near angels, and pray a lot.

    There are a lot of mobs in most stages, and the bosses have hundreds of millions of hp, so make sure you are all repaired and stocked on pots, apoths, charms, etc. Prepare for it like a TW.

    last trial screenshots. Grats Regens, great job.

    There's a few tips I can give to all factions trying the trials:
    1- Be organized. and make sure you have all kinds of apothecary available for your disposal, I dont want to spoil the fun in discovering what happens, so that's all I'll say there.
    2- Make sure you have 1 person starting quests, as Zarni said, our only faction wipe occurred because someone started the quest as we were taking base buffs, and we got overwhelmed by mobs on the last trial xD
    3- Have fun. Enjoy the learning process of the trials, we don't want to spoil it by saying what you should do. The quest description of the NPC is more than enough to guide you through, how your faction works together to solve the puzzles, that's an entirely different story.

    Oh and one last thing, if your computer isn't great like mine, turn your effects off if you value playing lagless. even at no specs there were times my game would drop to 2fps D:

    It was very fun, I want to do it again already

    Well it still not been done even once to my knowledge by any faction besides regen. Btw has anyone noticed where all the people who used to hang out in arch went to? Been looking alittle more dead everyday.Kinda sad, because the nine trial is actually fun, if not profitable.

    People that AFKs in south archo you mean?

    Cause to my knowledge most people that AFKs in north are from spades. Most afkers in south are from regen, booty and devoted.

    Have you considered the possibility we all have been, idk, doing the trials? :P

    What you get from completing the 9th trial, is the chance of redoing them in hard mode. This is our next goal. No special reward other than doble chest and pack as the 9th trial reward. Maybe in hard mode we all get doble pack on every trial? We haven't started them. We will during this weekend xD

    And go to hell badger, 130k and yet I was still holding aggro D:

    Ok so that makes regen first an the spades has now completed it too? Trying to figure out how many are actually gonna manage-so far it looks like maybe the top 6 or so factions have a chance at finishing it in the weeks time.

    grats spades.

    Once you complete all 9 trials, you'll get to start the next set of trials in a "harder" mode. It is indeed more challenging, however we're already done with the first 4 for today. We'll finish the other 5 tomorrow hopefully. One thing is for sure, it will require more people than the first trials did xD

    For the more important things... Are any faction selling the drops from this to fund their TW so that players without a faction base/strong faction can recast R8 too? (A)
