All of these videos were recorded by Darkning (WhyteBar). No credit goes to me, except for being his party leader for some of it.

[color="#cc8899"]Damn, can't view here. I'm sure it was epic though.

I intend to go on an ALC run whenever I can, I should have some available weekends soon.[/COLOR]

Funny how people thought how "easy" PB would be since we have Onyx Apples, Balanced Furys, et cetera. Or at least, getting up to PB.

At any rate, it wasn't bad for a first try.

Just got done watching them all. Wowza.

Started off pretty sad, I thought. People shouldn't have died that early. lol It got better quickly, though. Statues seem really easy if done right (like in these videos). You guys could have easily killed the four main statues (got three of them down) with more time. Ariel is crazy.

Time limit just really sucks, man. It should be two hours. If it wasn't so strict, we might be able to see more Ariel and actual Pink Bean experiences. I can't wait to see more of them.

Good job guys.

Almost forgot. I was going to ask what the hell is up with Phoenix? Its attacking animation was going after the stationary Pink Bean, even though it was attacking the statue. lol

Jesus that battle looks ridiculously impossible.

What's up with the timer?

That guy with the big blue afro dead in part II looks familiar F1 lol

I bet you anything there was a GM or two in hide during this fight... just watching. xD

On-topic more: Nice job, I used to play Windia and I'm quite proud. :]

Edit: Those Mini Bean's are fucking annoying, seriously, they have like 303,000 HP... >_>

Lol. Finally... News of a Pink Been attempt in GMS. O_O But uh... Why'd you guys skip that one statue? If you killed it before killing Ariel, wouldn't that make it easier? lol

All the statues are technically defined to be in the center but show up as a ton of blank space with a statue to the side, giving it the illusion that you're attacking a statue. I guess it's so the lightning can hit you across the map even if you're out of loading range of the actual statue.

They ran low on time lol.

This is pretty dang awesome, and in no way am I trying to offend anyone but... you didn't actually get to Pink Bean right?

Bit more attacking power and more efficiency and they'll make it. A more "powerful" server is going up on monday though, so we'll see how that goes...

Gratz to you guys for trying... however I still don't like PB as a boss...

It seems Pink Bean is exactly how I thought Nexon planned Pink Bean to be... a money maker:

- Not beatable by any other classes then Bish/HB mule/SE mule/ NL or Hero, since they lower DPS...
- Not beatable with normal builds (ranged ppl die all the time)
- Not beatable with low dex builds (ranged ppl die all the time)
- Not beatable with low dex builds + "normal" hp washing (ranged ppl die all the time)
- Not beatable with low dex builds + extreme hp washing (run out of time, not enough DPS)
- Not beatable with low dex builds + extreme hp washing + pro equips (run out of time, not enough DPS)
- Only beatable with low dex builds + extreme hp washing + extreme equips

Summarized: pay Nexon 2000 dollars for all "extreme pro" items + extreme hp washing and you can beat their boss...

Good idea of making money Nexon! But I'll skip PB for now and kill it on my private pserver... I'll use the 2000 dollars for something else...

I think it was a pretty amazing first try, especially since most of the people there went in not being entirely sure what to expect. There were definitely fewer deaths than I thought there'd be.

I think if you optimize the parties a bit for maximum DPS (Pair all NLs with a SE user, pair the strongest DrKs and Marksmen with a Bucc, etc.) beating Pink Bean in 1 hour would be very possible, even without wheels of fortune or whatever. It's all about organization, communication, and individual contribution.

But anyway, great job, Windia, and keep it up. Maybe you'll inspire Khaini to give it a shot.

You are always complaining about money. Stop. This is not a money-making scheme, this boss only needs a good strategy. Nexon Cash is free, learn to MTS and realize that they are a company that makes games for a living.

Good job Windia.

Can you post links please? My gadget won't play it!

No one triggered mass seduce, and there were fewer deaths than I expected.

It was more.... they were INCREDIBLY fortunate that Munin used its crappy stuff.

Anyway, it was nice that they triggered Ariel so we now know that its lasers hit the very top platforms.

Good job guys.

Almost forgot. I was going to ask what the hell is up with Phoenix? Its attacking animation was going after the stationary Pink Bean, even though it was attacking the statue. lol

No idea. Phoenix always does weird stuff. Like if he hits any part of HT, he appears down by the legs. Rest assured, he was definitely hitting that statue.

That guy with the big blue afro dead in part II looks familiar F1 lol

Yup, that's the one and only XBish. He remade his character.

Lol. Finally... News of a Pink Been attempt in GMS. O_O But uh... Why'd you guys skip that one statue? If you killed it before killing Ariel, wouldn't that make it easier? lol

We were just about to be out of time, so everyone just said "Screw it, attack Ariel and go for it!" Obviously, this isn't what we would do in a real run.

Started off pretty sad, I thought. People shouldn't have died that early. lol It got better quickly, though. Statues seem really easy if done right (like in these videos). You guys could have easily killed the four main statues (got three of them down) with more time. Ariel is crazy.

We were still lagging because we started the run during the last half-hour of the 2x on Friday. After Phase 3 or so, we were fine.

Now that we know what to expect in terms of damage and some other things, the smartest people in our group are figuring out ways to be more efficient. We didn't come in with 30 people for starters, only 24. We're trying to devise a way for the melee people to be more useful since they're usually doing nothing during the Owl statues. We're probably going to do some splitting up.

Our next run is most likely going to be shortly after the Cygnus patch. I'll try and get Josh to record the next one too.

i got abandoned in the left side. f4

So uh

I didn't see you guys get kicked after the timer hit zero. In fact, the video goes on almost a full minute after the timer hits zero and then the video maker runs out of space. Does this mean the time limit doesn't work (meaning unlimited time), or is it just an extremely delayed kick?
