Eden: The Scenic Tour

I have a dream and in that dream I'm wearing a tutu and eating ice cream....

But enough about my therapy issues.

On Sunday May 2 at 3:30EST I am holding a walking tour of the Eden trial. Even though I love that trial I can't think of anyone that has run the thing without flying past all the mobs on the way down to the Wall.

So I will be running the trial with no travel powers. We will fall through the holes, fight the mobs and make our way through the incredible expanse as one.

I'm curious to see if one team working smartly can finish Eden in the time allowed.

We will of course be using shivs and nukes on the Titan at the end but if you don't have either please still feel free to come since there will be more than enough already.

Was orginally going to run it this Sunday but something else has come up to agro my time.

Hope to see you all there, make sure to pack a picnic lunch and resole your shoes. Its going to be quite the hike.

Gives me time to get myself a stack of goodies, and early enough that I can show up without having to worry about game day. One question, though: What do you mean when you say "in the time allowed"?

Q: How do you wreck an Abrams?

I believe the Final Mission is timed to 2 hours.

Also. B. when you say walking tour do you mean normal or using 'Walk'? I can never tell with you.

Wife and I are all over this.

She'll bring Lady Cryostat (ice/emp troller) and I can bring in tankers (inv/em 50 all IO'd out, da/db 50), scrappers (dm/reg 49, db/reg 49) or a blaster (fire/dev 50) - your call otherwise I'd bring in the inv/em tank.

If enough people show up, multiple teams?

This time it will be a normal stroll. Next time though....

Oh yeah, I forgot the thing is actually timed. Well, I picked up a set if Shivans on M I today, but when I got to Warburg the Arachnoids stopped me cold. Forgot how much more difficult it is when fighting PvE under PvP rules.

If I'm available and there's room, I wouldn't mind helping with this. I've got a batch of characters in range, and I'm sure I can fill any role required.

I would love to try this, but I'm curious, what is the main goal? Is to to simply run it with the "No Travel Powers" restriction, or is it to actually fight all those monsters?

I don't think I've ever tried it, but does IR work with no travel powers enabled? I'm pretty sure SB does...

Anyway, I can bring my Grav/Kin, or I've got a Rad Def who might be nice...

Well, it does… sorta. All movement is hard capped to around 28 mph with "No Travel Powers" selected. You can still SB or IR, but you won't go any faster than that.

I recently ran my Kin Defender through some flashbacks and both IR and Siphon Speed put me at the above cap on no travel powers. AT powers only, on the other hand, had no such limit.

The main goal aside from having some fun is to see if using no travel powers and in my mind that includes SB and IR you can actually fight your way past the monsters and make it through the whole trial in the time allowed.

We won't be clearing the entire map (although that would be fun) we will be going through the Caves in as much a straight line as we can but fighting whatever stands in our way.

So instead of flying past all the mobs on the way to the Wall we will fight them. Instead of TPing past the long hallway of rock monsters we will have to clear them out.

Now if we can somehow sneak by a group of monsters we will. Although I'm going to rule out invis here as well.

Should be fun though since I can't think of anyone that has actually done this yet.

That's about what I figured, and in that case I agree that Invis would be against the spirit of the experiment.

Thanks for the info too, StarGeek. I figured there would be restrictions, although I hadn't looked into it. That does mean though, that SB would still give its recovery bonus, so it wouldn't be totally useless. Plus, FS and TF are always good for speeding things up.

I'm not sure I ever even noticed that there was a time limit on Eden, but after looking at the paragon wiki entry, even with carving a path through the mobs, I don't see that 4 hours isn't do-able...

What about Accelerate Metabolism or the Mystic Fortune's chance to give a +speed?

Hopefully, Wolfie and I will be home (Sunday is our "errands day" ) Assuming so, I'm planning on bringing my Rad/Rad Def. unless team makeup indicates something different.
