I did an alt run last night before maintenance. Big improvement and I assume most of them were also alts.
1 shot both gates with only communication being in gate 1 “wei cheese go 6oclock”
Seems like it’s gonna be on farm real quick with most pf groups.
EUC yes, but Shadowhunter was the main lead
last week got swap party to party but then i meet many awesome ppl that chill and improving , we group tgt after reset and clear with 2try
Last week took me like 6 hours, this week it only took 3 pulls, so I’m assuming people improved since we all suffered last week for the most part.
Last week did it in 2 pulls. Only 1 death on the second attempt. Was a good group.
This week took 5 pulls. A few duds in the group 
Granted I’m a normal scrub. Hard to say if there was any improvement here. Will be Hard Mode ready hopefully in 2 weeks (not rushing).
We killed him on the second try today, in the first try someone accidentally attacked the cow while he was charging his axe and kicked most of us off the platform.
So yes, basically 1min of explanation how the group leader want to have handled certain breakpoints eg balthor at 16 bars or with timestop and afterwards it’s just business as usual. But to say it very clearly, this doesn’t mean it isn’t fun. Valtan is the most fun experience I had until this point.
Yes. It went buttery smooth this week. Joined a pug, a couple of people died, but we cleared it in 3 tries
Similar experience but first group was terrible, second group cleared in 3 tries.
Very lucky and found a good group this week. Did both 1st and 2nd gate on 1 go. 20mins and finished.
Cleared it under 35 mins in 1 go with randoms ,the thing is i was just bored and enter the raid to have some fun. It was fun guiding them people to cleared it, but unfortunately i got carried away and finished it in one clean run.
AGS & SmileGate please gimme back my entry ticket, i didn’t meant to cleared it … i-it was unintentionally. Please give me a new entry ticket or i will have to wait for a week, doing nothing other than looking at the ceiling day by day. 
First week my static took about 6 hours to clear. This week we 1 shot it.
with all party 1415s, we used about 50 mins
Wait, you guys can log on to your server?
6 hours last week, 1 shot this week.
Still waiting on last week’s re-entry ticket for the server outages.
3 hours last week, 1 hour this week. But both Raids from LFG, so i guess ist didnt count that much.
You guys talk about hard or normal ? because damn you guys are lucky with PF tbh. My party finder experience has been :
Imagine that I’m staying alive up to Ghost Enrage every single pulls now. Did like idk maybe like 20 pulls this week before he go down, have gone through ghost berserker every 20 of theim. On 19 of theim most people dies before x16, usually between x30 and x16.
Could have been faster if I had not tell my party to not restart, but surviving ghost berserk is another kind of challenges and it has gave me a lot of fun so far so yeah I just went the all 15mn of encounter every pulls so takes a bit of time but he died in a couple of hours this week (compare to last week where I had to do insane things to kill the boss, like basically fishing for a single guy that could survive to ghost berserk and duo-ing ghost phase. Tooks me 20 hours to find that guy.)
Cleared week 2 with a pug team in 4 pulls. Granted everyone was over-leveled and we had a gigawhale 1490 destroyer with 33333 and full lv.10 gems. Valtan had no time to cast any wipe mech.
Repost on this better thread;
"First week/day of Valtan took 6 hours, I had to carry and finish with 1 other player, 2nd place dps.
2nd week/day of Valtan took 4 hours, I had to carry and finish by myself, 1st place MVP with Thirain."
I would say people generally knew what to do, however keeping everyone alive till Ghost Phase doesn’t happen often, and 2nd week we had 1 support.
That being said, this was normal mode, so more newer people compared to hard mode.
6hr>30min so i guess yeah
