If STS can check the prices on hauntlet eggs, they've gone up tremendously with shilo costing over 200k+ now.
Reason being PUG games can't even get under the 2:30s requirement for the coin.
yes, maps were scaled when new cap is raised.
except hauntlet.
i believe this was sts' solution to disappoint leechers from just idling waiting to collecting the hauntlet coin. i still play hauntlet and die sometimes but the leechers are gone. i encountered like 2 only since nordr maps came out
this was their easiest solution change to discourage leechers rather than force players to at least have to be in somewhere near the finish line or something which requires more coding.
... i think
At least you can sell your lvl15 gears at high price.
it easy to me..

If that really was their intention they should have engineered it somehow so that unless you actually partake in the fighting you don't get the reward.
I just tried doing a run, 1 dropped out at the beginning leaving us 3 warriors, ok so the other lvl31 warrior had literally half the Damage & DPS I did but it took almost 5 minutes to complete, and I had to go through a slew of potions - for crying out loud, before they screwed up the Hauntlet difficulty I could easily solo it in less than 3 minutes!
wow.i got my title in season 1 on warrior and season 2 with pros that quit
I absolutely agree with the post and appreciate the amount of information & work you put into the post Love. Unfortunately, it's been brought up before when Nordr first came out and nothing changed. I don't see the game mechanics and difficulty of hauntlet changing until the next season. The reason I don't see it changing is because of the current leaderboard standings and people seeing it as unfair that suddenly the methods of achieving a leaderboard position has changed. Onestrike above is right in that there are certain methods to running the hauntlet quicker - but there is no reason why a group of level 15 & 16's should have a much easier time in getting records on runs.
The original post when Nordr first came out questioning the hauntlet was skewed more towards people wondering what exactly happened with the hauntlet as many used to use it for grinding experience - good luck trying that anymore. Iirc Samhayne suggested / emphasized that hauntlet should be elite and difficult for anyone to get the 90 second achievement and that it was never intended to be easy. I think the original post above indicates how difficult it is and really does a good job at questioning why would it ever be easier at a lower level.
I've helped several guild members and friends get the haunted title a month + ago in crate armor, it can be done. Unfortunately after several runs you usually end up growing frustrated and grabbing elixers in order to scrap the few last seconds off.
Here is a youtube video of 3 of us doing it all in mostly crate gear - though for this run we ended up all running elixers :/

I agree to this thread. My warrior may never see the 90 second Hauntlet achievement. I have wasted plat, time (to include my friends' time) and energy on this. I thought the free respec weekend would be *perfect* opportunity to accomplish this. My dreams were crushed -_-
Bottom line from my perspective is, I shouldn't have to go make friends with 3 "hook rogues" etc to accomplish this as a warrior.
It's actually 3:30, but yes this is very much the reality of it.

This..
As a level 31, somewhat respectably geared warrior, I second this. Since the Nordr expansion, I feel as if any shred of hope I had for completing the Haunted Achievement has escaped me. After reading Love's plea for change after 30+ runs in the absolute best in-game gear, my feeling is that I will never have the opportunity to cross that achievement off my list as an endgame warrior. My vote is for change!
Congrats on your achievement! Now you state it is possible to get 90 sec achieve without having top gear. I know for a fact that you have Arcane Blackbeard Hooks and Alvinwu has Arcane Hammer (Maul of Olerus). Those are the best you can get! I am a member of your guild (Photomac, lvl 31 Rogue). I am sure that those arcane weapons really helped you get your 90 sec time.
With a good team I can get 1:23 with hauntlet. However, the scale is a bit too much for l31

Awe but that doesnt serve justice to the endgamers. It doesn't solve the [Hauntlet] Achievement > 200M problem, and just brings twinks & newbies up to the level playing field of find it near impossible to get the achievement. I think hauntlet should be easier on endgamers, not harder on lower levels.

I'm glad other people agrees that the getting the hauntlet title at the endgame is difficult to get (-•_•)-
It took me hours of tactical thinking with my team to get it.
I feel terrible not getting the achievement earlier when it was easier ==;
Hey, I'm a lone wolf. A wolf who wants to be friends with you :3
Agreed!
I still can't get the achievement on my geared out rogue...

Maybe you guys didn't get 90s or below because of the skills you are using.. Or the second option which is your strategy.
