Please rise the time limit for gold run achievements!

As title says!It is impossible to complete for example griffon master flights in gold time.So frustrated!Have tried hours upon hours and always goes over gold timer like .600 or 1 sec.Ty!

[Ayrilana.1396]

Not impossible as many players have done so. The key is to learn to do them at max speed.

[Etria.3642]

Watch the videos and do exactly what they do. I took one day and went all out and got them all.

Clearly it's not impossible, since many people have gotten gold.I'm not one of them and I'm against ANet being more generous with the timing; it gives me a target to strive for.

Is this for the Barnstormer title?Youtube will help you see how it needs to be done, I think I got this after a few tries

Definitely not too hard to do

Probably not for that since the OP posted well after the Festival closed.

I was amazed I got Barnstormer this year myself, I'm not very precise on fast griffon flight and have failed most griffon adventures I've attempted, but indeed watching a video made all the difference. This is likely the case for any of the adventures.

Also worth noting that the videos only give you a single way that works. If you enjoy the task and keep at it you'll find ways to continue to improve on them, which is even more fun :)

No it is not impossible. Just because you can’t do it does not mean it is impossible. No need to change the time limits.

If it was impossible, no one would manage. I mananged, and it took me some time and practice. Don't expect things to be gifted to you. If you don't want to invest time, that is your problem - no need to ruin the challenge for everyone.

I suggest you practice the speed mechanics before you attempt a course again.

[Ayakaru.6583]

it's a practice makes perfect kind of thing. you have to try out all different kinds of positions you dive down and climb up to.I remember this one gryffon race I was stuck on. Always about 2 seconds shorts.I completely changed a dive position in my track, and I beat gold with almost 5 seconds to spare.

The way you do it can have a significant impact on the final time. and most of them simply do take a lot of practice.Don't ask anet to take that away. It's a practice makes perfect kind of challenge, not a give and go to the forum to make perfect kind of challenge.There are also beetle and supply races I haven't finished yet, and those are a challenge I leave for the future.

I say nay! to a nerf to these timers

[Cynder.2509]

Maybe just "git gud"? :)

[Aaralyna.3104]

Should not be impossible to do and get and yes it does take practice. Also make sure you know all things you can do, dive/rise/flap. Many players forget you can increase dive speeds when flapping (aerial finesse mastery) during the dive. Alternative pathways can also put some time off.
