I only just noticed it a few days ago. And whatever the high score was, we set it or beat it. 

The thing is - once the Avatar of Achlys is defeated, the league tends to port to the core to let the new players get their history plaques, and I suppose turn in the motes if they hadn't done that on their own time. 

I honestly can't recall what the high score was, but pretty sure the one I join with Goddess is generally the only one of the day, so there'd be no other score.

Too bad we can't check on the score without defeating the Mino.  (Well, you could record and pop into the Font and then check the score by checking the frame or two before being bounced back to the lobby)

Woohoo! We win by default! 💛 It might be a case of one day we week we turn the Labyrinth into High score day! Where we don't port after and we keep the grind going to see how high we can get 😄

Yeah we stayed the full hour in an attempt to break the 1,000 enemies defeated mark and didn't get it. I think with a bigger league and less wipes, we could break 1,200.

Sounds like a challenge! And defo possible, we got just under 500 I think earlier in like 15-20 mins with just 5 non full teams 💛

We found success with 2-3 dedicated Tanks keeping mobs constantly pulled within range of the turtled league (around the Mythic Fog). One is off-Tank for any GM spawns and the other two can continue the taunts on Glads and those pesky Singularity pets that the Family Elite Boss summons. 

 

Do you have a dedicated incan player for Mythic Fog movements or do you shout in chat? I really appreciate the added graphical bubble around it, makes it way easier to see.

 

I think I'll add screenshots next time and then put a table in my original post with any reported shard high scores (with screenshot or video evidence).

Part of my love for Kheldians: Being able to do 99% of the jobs 😄 I can solo tank/pull mobs to the league (GMs/Avatar included) and have 2 others I trust alternating incan duty onto the Mythic Fogs.

This way people can bring whatever though I do ask Ranged to stay on Misty the Mythic Fog whilst the Melee stand between the pillars to prevent her from dying 💛

That's something we had to figure out through trial and error - keeping the Fog alive became more and more apparent each time it popped because then the league got sucked in to the Fog and mostly wiped. The pillars are helpful too because eventually there's just not any more room within the 'Anchored' radius of the Mythic Fog due to so many players and pets. Maybe I'm misremembering, but isn't everyone essentially speed phased in there anyways so they couldn't be pushed out of the bubble?

Is this like Galaga?  If so, I'm leaving ASS as the high scorer.

Yep there isn't collision in the Labyrinth so people don't collide 💛

@Glacier Peak you motivated me to try beating the high score every Tuesday Labyrinth run on Excelsior XD Going to call it Tango Tuesdays starting from next week see how high we get 😄

We do "Mino Mondays" on Indomitable. Sounds fun!

Updated!

 

Double the number of players we had on Indomitable during our record run, but only 260 more mobs defeated? Did you experience any bugs or issues? We started seeing Elite Bosses spawn less frequently after around 900 defeated.

The more players the more lag there was which caused slower spawns/issues with not seeing mobs, honestly I think 2 teams is the optimal number of people, 3 at a push so really the smaller servers might have the advantage here since it's an open zone 😜

[Mini-Nukette]

 

Reunion new high score with about 30 players. GM's didn't seem to appear on 900 defeats onwards with slower EB's respawning as Glacier Peak mentioned.

addendum

[Glacier Peak]

There's a sweet spot between the number of players and the amount of enemies that can be defeated. I think it's around 24 players.

Indomitable just pushed past 1400! Exact number TBD, awaiting screenshot from league leader.
