SF is for children. Where is the hard content? Only the iron forgeman has so far eluded extermination.

Starsky-sama · Sep 18, 2005, 04:14 PM // 16:14

/definitely Ring of Fire (or you mean the 3 fire island mish or just RoF?)

SF is pretty simple/enjoyable.

Definitely Fire Islands, Sorrow's Furnace is good though, still like it... There are two other areas to go to for a slightly harder challenge (UW and FoW)... Everything is a bit too easily accomplished though with only average teams, need some really hardcore difficult areas still

.. for teams of 12 or something

Sorrow's Furnace. It's not that hard, but the Ring of Fire is too easy. And the Fire Djinns are so good it makes Sorrow's Furnace hard if you ask me

prime stinger · Sep 18, 2005, 05:06 PM // 17:06

the missions around that area are hard because theres hardly anyone there to do them with, sf is easily done with 1 ele 1 war 2 monks

Sorrow's Furnace is doable with henches to a point.
RoF = near impossible with henches, they aggro too much

The Orozar quest makes rof look like cake.

I'd say SF is harder, but that players are so experienced in combating NPC strategies that it seems easier. RoF was always about finding a decent group, with one it was pretty easy. SF has a lot more situations where brute force simply won't win, and the PUG's seem to understand that a balanced party is required. I'd also say that the balanced nature of the quests is why henchmen are more effective than usual. The only thing that really makes SF easier is the ressurection points, without those it would be a lot more tricky.

The titan quests are a good challenge, the first is doable with henchmen and is pretty easy, but all the rest pose quite a challenge.

I can solo almost everything on the RoF Island Chain. I can't solo anything in Sorrow's Furnace. Enough said.

Sorry I really can't believe you solo any of those missions, a single person couldn't kill Burning titans and a bunch of other people. Show screenshots to prove it.

You say that, but I complete the mission and bonus of Hell's Princeple yesterday with a full team of henchmen since no one would take my character. We did fine, no deaths at all, no aggro issues.

If you aggroing then you don't know how to handle the NPCs correctly.

Kampfkeks · Sep 19, 2005, 09:21 AM // 09:21

I don't know which is harder. Personally i think both are too easy. You basically only screw up when one of your teammates does so and sadly...
For both, RoF and SF henchmen are the superior choice over PUG. They do atleast one thing... focus fire. One thing you'll never get into the thick skulls of people. Heck, some persons want the Target Calls even removed from the game alltogether because they are "useless".

I notice most people having problems with henchmen aggro are those that love to say a warrior entering battle first is a noob. Some really should examine their aggro bubble Oo

Did Thunderhead Keep -> Hells Precipice + bonuses with henches yesterday. I've got a mesmer.
Thunderhead Keep was tricky until I realized I needed to keep close tabs on the mad rusher king, the Ring of Fire & Hells Precipice were straight-forward.

Sorrows Furnace I've only tried a little, and it seemed easier but honestly quite boring.

super dooper · Sep 19, 2005, 01:23 PM // 13:23

Orozar quest alone is harder than any of the fire island missions. (if you say you did the whole quest with 1 ele, 1 monk, and 1 warrior, or even 2 monks, then I'd like to see a video or multiple screenshots of the different points, party window and all. -.-)

cooljelly · Sep 19, 2005, 01:35 PM // 13:35

Some quest, such as Orozar, is pretty challenging especially when you just follow the mission instead of cheating for a little bit... There are other quests in SF that are just very easy especially when you know what to do.

The ring of fire missions are easy as well if you know the mission well. They are very dorable with henchies. They might seem hard if you do not know how to send two warriors to destory the mursaat tower and keep the rest of the team outside. Other than that, they're pretty straight foward.

In PVE monsters just follow certain AI and do not change strategy... Overally, I think the quests in SF, at least some parts, are harder than the missions on RoF.

Vilaptca · Sep 19, 2005, 05:23 PM // 17:23

RoF is harder because getting a decent group is harder. There are so many districts in SF each one near packed, that it is quite easy to get a half way decent group.

mrmojo · Sep 19, 2005, 08:01 PM // 20:01

SF is easy, you can kill a shitload of enemies by yourself and 3 henchies.

derrtyboy69 · Sep 19, 2005, 08:08 PM // 20:08

sorrows furnace is really easy, but its also my favorite PvE area in the game, cause killing things is fun, losing isnt

Ruoenkruez Tudor · Sep 19, 2005, 10:48 PM // 22:48

ok so far RoF 9 and Sf 4
