There is no one mission I dislike, except, maybe say Abaddon's Mouth. I don't really dislike it; just hard to find a group.

Most favorite mission<S>: Thunderhead Keep. I love it. Everyone makes it ten times then has to be, so fun killing all them and the additional forces with just 6 people because 2 dropped, and with only one monk <namely, my monk>

Another top favorite, I would have to say is Hell's Precipice. I loved killing rurik

Also, I loved those little portal you have to destroy, the titans, and all the other content there.

I'm stuck in the same boat as you...haven't done the later missions yet. I run this mission solo so I can get all of the drops. I normally get at least 2 purple weapons and 1 minor rune out of each run before I die...sell all the junk and gold pick gives me about 600G. Not back IMO for a noob without anywhere else to farm.

Of course, I haven't done any of the later missions yet

I like Thirsty River most, because it's the closest resemblance to PvP there is in the PvE areas (especially killing priests so the enemy team doesn't resurrect is an obvious introduction into some tombs maps).

Also they often drop gold armors there and I've seen many superior vigors drop

.

Elona and Dunes are also "intro into tombs" type missions, but Dunes is just slow and boring, while Elonas is too annoying ever since I tried doing it with some really really bad groups long time ago.

Least favourite ... any Ascalon area missions, simply because the whole area is so dull.

Yes, you just have to know how to get into th temple without opening the gate

Which isn't hard, just run around in the tar back to where you WOULD run up the hill to open the gate, but continue towards the ember bearer entrance..not hard what-so-ever...

Favorite Missions: Any mission where a player or two drops and you manage to pull off the mission. There's something satisfying in pulling off a mission without a balanced group.

Hated Thunderhead at first, but now I love it. Thirsty River and Dragon's Lair are fun. Going back and soloing Nolani's, especially the beginning is great.

Also like missions where you have to fight several bosses (not at the same time necessarily), cuz you get to use res sig and have it recharged after beating boss. Nothing like a well-timed res sig ftw.

I love doing missions with PUGs due to the variety of players on the team each time. It's fun adjusting and adapting to their styles. Yeah, you get a lot of crappy players, but in the end, doesn't that just balance the team out due to your superior skill level?

Hate missions when you have a retarded tank who keeps rushing or worse still, other classes that think they're tanks. Get kinda bored during missions that require a lot of pointless running. I'm here to kill, kill, kill not to be someone's delivery boy.

In the end, my love or hate of missions has more to do with the challenge than anything else. When players drop out, that ups the challenge. I don't accurately recally, but I think I've done pretty much every high level mission with at least a drop or two. Sometimes you can't cope without that player, but other times you find you can.

You can't redo the mission and get the same reward, at 20 he only gives up 100 xp or so.

Just don't take the glint missions, or if you do, you can abandon any of them and go capp'n, then just return to glint and get them again

Favorite: Not a mission, but anyway, uw trapping.
Most Hated: Anything in the wilds, tho i like to solo farm centaurs, but thats about it.

(ive never beaten it with a PUG, or a guild group, but i beat it twice with henchies.)

It is my least favourite at the mo too - can't beat the musraat dudes near the end /part2 of mission: always get owned by those guys. This last one I had to check to make sure I still had infused armour. Spectral agony is just that!!!
