The AI (artificial intelligence) update has made it harder. When foes know they can kill you they will keep following you. So even when you use a speedbuff, the areas where (in the past) you could regen, will be swarmed with foes you ran past up to that spot. Only way to avoid that is completely avoiding aggro, and that is hard on that run.
This update was done to prevent dervishes from being too powerful in PvE and it is the same update that made farming harder as well.

I've seen a Dervish/Warrior run it, but didn't get to see the skills s/he used.

w00t, i get to correct an admin, on guru, a post from gaile:
| QUOTE | Hey, there,
Of the many posts about AI, I thought it would be appropriate to respond to this one because, really, it's a model of good, productive, helpful, and nicely-presented reporting and analysis of an issue of concern. The designers found this input of great value, and the good news is that they have identified the bug and have designed a correction specifically because of the details that you provided.
So the good news is, you all get a Cookie of Approbation from the Dev Team. (Well, ok, perhaps the baked goods will need to be virtual this time. ) More importantly, the team has located the issue, has identified the fix, and they'll roll it out soon.
James and John, the two designers with whom I spoke a few minutes ago, are going to work with a few other designers from the programming side, in particular, to get a timeline for this fix. I'll be adding that timeline to this thread as soon as we have one. It may not be "Thursday, at 4:00 p.m." because we all know how impossible it can be to give that sort of specific date and time. After all, there are many variables in new builds, and a lot of people contribute to each one, so it's difficult if not impossible to predict an exact day and time. But even if the timeline we give is broader than date/time, do know the fix is identified and the rollout will take place in the near future.
Thank you again for the productive and helpful posting! *major thumbs up* |
Someone asked her to specify the bug that is being corrected:
| QUOTE | | The "endless chasing" issue is what I'm speaking about in the here and now. There are several other issues that are being investigated and, if warranted, changes will be made to address those. It is the "running unto the ends of the earth" issue that is the one that is in the queue for fixing at this point. |
So that Endless Chasing that made the droks run a bit harder, is a bug and should be fixed soon.

Well it is cheaper easier and morefun to get a run to sanctum kay and to all the missions you can do yourself. It takes longer but you get about 70k xp from it and get to cap some skills. Oh and just in case yall didn't know max armor is sold in keineng center!

Off-topic, but you sig is WAY too large. Max size is 600 x 250 pixels, your sig is 510 x 365 pixels.

In reality you dont even need the droks run anymore if you have factions. you just gett run to LA then going to factions to get max armor. Pretty simple and cheaper then the droks run to get there. I guess there are a lot of people who only have the 1st chapter.
The true test of any technology is its ability to obtain porn.

I think that the Droks run is still needed by many players from all campains to be honest. And i cant see it becoming obsolete anytime soon.

I havnt gone to droks for max armor since NF came out, not only is it harder to get to droks than to get armor in NF. NF has cheaper armor too(some of the insignia's are 100g which means you can make a while set, saving 400g per armor piece, which is a 2k savings).
But I still needed to get to droks on my ele, mainly so she can farm trolls. I went the long way though because I dont know anyone who can run droks, and I dont want to pay 5k+ for a run.

Paying 6k+ for a Droks run is quite common nowadays. And has anyone noticed the amount of scammers making money off that run now? its becoming quite the breeding ground! so watch out!

MWPECK, looking at your sig its quite obvious you used the afk exploit to farm lightbringer points. Shame on you for advertising it that way. Are you proud of yourself for having to cheat to gain an advantage?

Oh please......yes I afk farmed, but before anet declared it an exploit. Yes I am still proud that I have the highest LB rank. To me, I still dont see the afk farm as cheating, I spent hours doing NOTHING in-game to obtain it. They 50 or so hours I spent to get it were wasted where I could have been farming or doing something other than obtaining a title. If I was to farm to those 50 hours, I could have easily made 500K+, therefore I see the title as just a title I was willing to pay the price for.
EDIT: And if you have a problem with it, PM me about it instead of replying to this post.

Well the latest update should make the run doable again so the prices may drop. Still don't see why you wouldn't just go to Cantha tho?
And Mwpeck: Shame on you! Why didn't you tell the rest of us BEFORE they nerfed the afk farming?!?

To be fair I do remember when this happened, pecky saying that he knew about the afk farm, but that he wasn't going to post a guide in case it was deemed an exploit by anet. Which it was, but after the event, in which you can't really blame people for taking advantage, if the opportunity arises for them.
