1) Arborstone - Have had MANY BAD PUGs for that mission... it's always the mission that I'll need to attempt more than once on each character...... everything else in Factions is easy-peasy

well maybe that 2nd last mission (forgot what it was called =p) - a good PUG is also necessary for that one... actually just a PUG without a Leeroy Jenkins will be fine.

2) One of the Crystal Desert missions... the one where you have to eliminate like 7 groups or something? before the priest rezzes the mobs... that one... always had groups that loved to aggro EVERYTHING once we got to the last area...

If I can post another one, I'd like to say that Jungle mission where we have to protect the pedestals.

Thirsty River, Abaddon's Mouth, Hells Precipice, any canthan mission.

Arborstone - Oh how i hate that ****ing Cathedral Collapse!

Vizunah/Unwaking Waters - 2 parties sucks, face it.

Napuhi Quarter and Gyala Hatchery.

Edit: Yeah I meant - Gyala Hatchery, without the exploit.

Ooh, I was gonna mention Gyala! Geesh, that mission eats you alive if you go in not knowing what to expect. I give mad props to anyone who can beat that mission on the first try without reading any walkthroughs. Hell, I give props to anyone who can do that mission the way it was originally intended!

I completely agree, and I fervently hope that Nightfall won't include anything like that. I actually don't mind Vizunah Square, because it's pretty trivial even with henchies on both teams, but Unwaking Waters is horrible.

Arborstone and Thunderhead Keep

Unwaking Waters, a) because it's always empty when I get there, and b) because getting a good team joining you is such a lottery. I can (just) survive Vizunah with a joining team of henchies, but it always seems to go horribly wrong at Unwaking.

For the second one, I can't decide between Gyala Hatchery (I have never successfully PUG-ed it unless we go 'the back way'), or Nahpui Quarter (which I can never get Master's on - arrrgh!).

In terms of sheer drudgery, I loathe all of the Ascalon quests, especially that poxy Surmia mission & bonus.

zarah · Aug 17, 2006, 09:01 AM // 09:01

Unwaking Waters can be so a pain, if the other team consists of a warrior with 7 henchmen, you are in for a long fight. (in my experience at least)
Arborstone, falling rocks just isnt my thing.

bungusmaximus · Aug 17, 2006, 09:09 AM // 09:09

this thread rocks, mine are:
Gyala hatchery, for getting a group together that doesn't screw up is a nightmare, even the backway fails miserably as ppl always think its done after we clear the terrain. I had masters after 10 tries

Arborstone, these falling rock get on my nerves real bad, had masters in 1 try though, but that was also because the rest of the group ruled.

every mission before the dessert, ice caves and and the infuse mission. in the dessert for the first time you need to coördinate instead of just slashing you way true them.

Gyala hatchery is very annoying as it seems impossible to find a good pug, always have to wait untill enough guildies are online.

I dont know why everyone says thunderhead i beat it first try

Mine is most likely Naphui Quarter took me forever to get protector of cantha
and Hells Presipice Took me a long time to get protector of tyria

Numa Pompilius · Aug 17, 2006, 11:29 AM // 11:29

Worst: Raisu Palace (I hate timed missions, I hate missions where the only difficulty is rushing through infinite waves of mobs - and, yippee, this mission has both!)

Second place is a tie between Arborstone and Bloodstone Fen. Both bite.

My favorite missions are Thunderhead Keep and Vizunah Square (provided the other team is all-hench, otherwise it's a horror).

Nahpui Quarter 2: A mix of bad groups and the back agro problem (anyone who's done nahpui or has gotten close to finishing will know what im talking about) caused my ranger to be stuck there for an entire month.

Agreed.
I couldn't do Nahpui Quarters for a couple of days with my monk (lvl20 with Energy drain, PvP style). 2 assassins in the group, rangers bringing there lvl10 pets, blood necros, channeling ritualists, water eles, warriors wielding hammers, I saw it all

. Grabed henches in the end and finished the mission.

The same story with Thunderhead Keep. Had to do it with henches.

Vizunah Square and Tahnakai Temple

If this thread was done before I didn't see it. But Ohh Boy here comes a rant!

Okay the mission I HATE HATE HATE right now is Arbor Stone! My Monk ALWAYS gets bugged by Alliance members to do it and like a sucker I get stuck pulling people through it! There is NOTHING worse... This mission is very hard on Monks.

Close 2nd, yet still full of hate is Abadons Mouth. Mostly the same reasons.

Basically any choke point missions. I like the way the game is set up that every so often you run into a mission that is more than Hack, Slash, Nuke, Lather, Rinse Repeat. And once and a while you have to THINK your way through a mission. The problem is that these missions become a noob choke point where crappy players just can't get past it.

And YES, by the way if you have tried arborstone more than 10 times and you still haven't gotten past it, it is more than likely it is because YOU are doing something wrong NOT your Monk. **Sorry rage Moment**

I might be a little nuts but I LIKE THK, I find it fun...mind you that is with a god group. To be fair there are very few missions that aren't a walk in the park with a good group. There are a few that are still a challenge even with a good group, Unwaking waters being one of them. But I like the challenge.

The missions I hate really have very little to do with the missions and a LOT to do with the players in them.

torquemada · Aug 17, 2006, 12:30 PM // 12:30

Hell's Precipice - noone wants a warrior in party, so that's it.

Any other mission in a bad PUG. Otherwise, in a good groop everything is easy & enjoyable!

EDIT: And, just remembered, that jungle mission when you have to cap portals before White Mantle does is an absolute dread with a bad PUG.
