nine trials

I probably won't be able to attempt the trials at all. Dead faction is dead.

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

So nobody wants to actually share any info about what each trial is an how to beat it?

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.

Last trial final boss.

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

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.

trials are fun, trial 9 sure enough is fun, and for the people dissapearing from hot spots, games to damaged people leaving swiftly nothing is fun anymore, trials are though till it gets boring like TW did. b:bye enjoy the game while it lastsb:pleased

Gratz Spades on Doing the 9 trials.b:dirty

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

Can seeker hold up vortex with regen buff?

Completed Medium mode. I'm scared as hell to even try god mode.

actualy Dynasty also completed trials few mins back

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)
