Yup that's what I did. Except I spent 27 seconds killing the magma boss in the first mission because he counts for a gladiator badge. I just don't do well moving at high speed and get stuck on corners. So me on ninja run is like dash - dash - smack - backup - backup - dash - dash - standstill - turn - dash - dash - dash - smack.

I can be found, outside of paragon city here.
Thank you everyone at Paragon and on Virtue. When the lights go out in November, you'll find me on Razor Bunny.

That's quite good. My Electric/Time's fastest run was 11-ish minutes.


Thank you, City of Heroes, for giving me a superhero social network combined with amazingly smooth game play. Petitions signed with realistic expectations.

Thought I was the only one that had that problem.

Magma bosses - why not try that mission with a full team - there will probably be plenty of them in there. I know in about 45 minutes, a team of two can get 100 of them in the hollows.


Oh, my best time was 7:36 with my fire/fire blaster. My scrapper just did it on 8:04

My absolute worst time was with my kin/rad defender. No defense, offense is weak, and I ran out of purples in the second mission and getting more would have probably saved time in retrospect, but I was trying to push it.

Lemkin nerf made this a bit easier as I got my time down to 5 minutes 54 seconds.

8 minutes 3 seconds on an Ill/storm.

I'm sure I can manage to up that with a little effort though.

Don't need a stopwatch or anything. It says how long it took to complete it at the very end when you choose your reward.

7mins 13secs. Just ran and killed what I needed to, still had decent defense even after exemped so grabbing the glowies was no problem.

Red side I average 7.41 over 12 runs fastest was 7.19 slowest 7.55 thats using exit in first map and jumping in lava to fight last map spawns. Using SJ as travel power on a DM/SD Scrapper.

Yes, it's true. Playing with an i5-2500, 8gigs of RAM vs a Dual Pentium 4, 3 gigs does indeed save about three minutes - (depending on your machine's capability)

Travel speed and load times are indeed pretty much all it comes down to for the first one, second one has a bit more killing though.

Updating my times for my mind/fire dom, both runs are villain side times, these were done a while ago (the day the second arc came out) I had just forgotten about this thread til now when it got bumped.

Part 1: 6:18
Part 2: 8:31

Can't wait for the next one to come out, since if it follows a trend it will be higher level and I'll be able to use blaze. :3
