Horrific Visions?

[MadMilitia]

in the later ranks of the cloak.. doing it multiple times ( full clears ) would take a crazy amount of time if you do it solox5

I've no doubt. Which is why I'm scaling back my multiboxing commitments for dual boxing. I think the visions will be way more manageable then.

So I had streamed it tonight but for whatever reason saving the streams for up to 14 days wasn’t on. So I can’t show you but I just did a 3 zone clear with an entire orb left at the end.
if elite extermination works for the entire group the a full clear is definitely doable with my current gear. I made some incorrect choices on the mementos so I’m 3 slots behind being able to purchase it but I should be able to in the next few days. Org is also way better than SW for progression.

Can confirm once I ditched my locks and just dual boxed my last vision it was incredibly easy. No cloak upgrades and could have easily done more than I did. Thoughts immediately are the locks were adding a huge amount of HP without equating that to damage because of the amount of movement I had to put on them to survive.

They just made some changes I didn't see on 2/14.
Reduced the health of enemies for groups of 2 or more that include at least 1 healer.
This will help make the situation a bit more viable. I also noticed that the mobs don't hit as hard (but it could be just my gear going up slightly).

I finally got Elite Extermination on all of my characters and hope to try out a run today/tomorrow and see if I can do a full clear. It should be doable/possible for Org at this point. Unsure on SW.

Here's a video.. it has some pretty bad mistakes in it. Example - using an orb to res one of my characters in the wrong spot. I made the most of it though and still pulled off the W for what I was trying to do.
At the end I realized I didn't have enough sanity on 2 of my characters to finish the last boss, so I let their sanity drain and then res'd them with a different character..I was surprised it worked.

Great job, Ellay! Not sure if US/Eu are in sync in this regard but the "affixes" seemed a lot better in SW this week. Might have to push it myself, but I'm not sure if it'll be fast enough for a full clear.

Here is the Full Clear video.

The affixes were definitely more favorable this week. As you can see at the end of the run I had basically a full entire bar left so I'm excited to try adding some masks. I think a few of the easier ones are doable in this situation.
Having Elite Extermination was really the game changer. I had read previously that it only worked for whoever got the killing blow, but the whole team gets the reward. On this run I also had purchased the instant res back to 500 sanity - but never had to use it. So even further wiggle room.
From the beginning of this thread to now I feel like I've done a complete 180 on this and it seems more doable as time goes on. Having the cloak upgrade over time definitely doesn't hurt and will open this up for more comps as well.

Edit** On the full twitch vod last night this was my third try. The first run I realized this is actually doable - but had no idea how some of the encounters worked - such as opening the door with 2 characters, and I didn't know the route for the mage quarter, so I looked that up.
Second run I feel like I hit some kind of bug, the corrupted oozes on the ground instant killed all 3 of my hunters somehow right in the beginning of the run.
Third time was a charm though.

I did the run last night using an all Druid DPS comp, I thought I did a full clear but I forgot to click a couple of cages in the trade district!! So technically it is and it isn't a full clear but either way it's doable with different formats. The hunter pets are definitely way more valuable. You can see on the boss in the Mage quarter I had to split my team to stop the mechanics where the pets just have to run up to the boss and it breaks it, trivializing the fight.

This will help!

UPDATED 2:45 p.m. PST Monday, February 24

We’re working on a set of hotfixes to the game that should streamline upgrading your Legendary cloak via Horrific Visions.
We now have some specifics to outline. Once again, these changes will come into effect with scheduled weekly maintenance:
Coalescing Visions

• Visions of N’Zoth Daily Quests now reward 50% more Coalescing Visions.
• The main N’Zoth Threat now rewards 2500 Coalescing Visions (in addition to a Vessel of Horrific Visions).
• Lesser Threats now reward 6500 Coalescing Visions.

Quests to Increase Cloak Rank

• For Rank 13, the Quest now requires 4 Torn Pages (was 6).
• For Rank 14, the Quest now requires 6 Torn Pages (was 12).
• For Rank 15, the Quest now requires 8 Torn Pages (was 18).

---

Posted previously–

• Coalescing Visions now drop in higher numbers from Assaults and Daily Quests.
• The Unique(5) inventory cap on Vessel of Horrific Visions has been removed, allowing you to carry as many Vessels as you like.
• Up to 4 Torn Pages of “Fear and Flesh” quest items can now drop in Horrific Visions from objectives on the rank 7-11 Legendary cloak upgrade quests (was a max of 2).
  
  • You’ll need to clear more than two sides areas in one run to get more than two pages. The rank 13-15 quests will still drop a max of 2 pages, only from Lost Area objectives.

These updates will go into effect with weekly maintenance (Tuesday, February 25 in this region).
