Running times, Beating the clock

saeimc Sun Apr 13, 2008 1:43 am

A few people in the Gerbils have done some testing running between Guild Lords and flagstands using different paths. I thought I`d throw out the first few pieces of data, so we all can get together and fill in the rest.

The tests have been made without speed boosts, and without carrying a flag (my warrior toon is the test-pilot). But, once we have the basic numbers the rest could be worked out.

Also the numbers are not absolute, they´re more in the way of guidlines so we know when to start running flags and such.

Warriors Isle
From Guild Hall Guild Lord to flagstand; 33sek (on average)

From Guild Lord to Guild Lord; Main road 62-63sek / Back Road 66sek

Hunters Isle

Frozen Isle
From Guild Hall Guild Lord to Flagstand (mostly land route, left on map) 39sek

Guild Lord to Guld Lord on the straight road (with the bridges, and a single ice acess point) 49sek
Guild Lord to Guild Lord using the low road (with 2 ice acess points, right on map) 57sek

Note: Ice effect: Move 70% slower for 5 sec. Does not come into effect if you are moving.

Nomads Isle
From Guild Hall Guild Lord to flagstand; 39-40sek (shortest and closest route)

From Guild Lord to Guild Lord; Teleporting Road 65sek / Quicksand Road 57sek

Note: Quicksand effect: Reduces movement speed by 15% and drains 1 energy with each attack and skill.

Druids Isle

Isle of the Dead -note these times doesn´t take the mud into account since it doesn´t come into effect outside of a real pvp-match.
From Guild Hall Guild Lord to flagstand; Low Road (main exit, then turn north) 39sek, and 43sek by using the High Road (main exit, turn south). Using the back exit (oposite of main exit) and then going on the High Road will put you at 51sek.

Guild Lord to Guild Lord; High Road (using the bridge) stops somewhere in the 73-75sek range (closer to 73 than 75 though). The one through the mud is way slower.

Burning Isle
Going from flag spawn (and allowing double time for running though lava; the cripple doesnt trigger unless in a real game) to the flag stand, over bridges and though one lava takes about 40 sec, or running under the bridges though two lots of lava takes about 30 seconds. http://www.theamazonbasin.com/gw/forums/index.php?showtopic=3035
