how in the name of any diety did they think this was gonna be a fun or rewarding quest? Lets drop 4 lvl 28 baddies just outside the spawn area and sit back and giggle while 4 man groups get their sphincters perferated...

Well that just rules that he's in the game now. Can't wait till I get off work and do that, what sounds like, impossible quest. Keep us poor people who have to work at night updated on what is found, rewards/greens/etc. Thanks!

Yeah the quest is hard compared to most of the faction standard missions.
I went in with a group of four on my Mo/Me and we took it slow got the first rift down and proceeded to the next. Open spaces and the fact that the mobs tended to pop out of the ground and go monks we eventually whiped. I think it's really unfair of Anet to add this type of mission to a Canthan event when clearly it requires a strong investment in skills obtained only in prophercies. I didn't mind the run on my monk me as healer another monk as prot and tank and a necro. I thought maybe i'd give it a shot as my warrior but had buckley's of getting a group on account of having to be stance tank with dolyak sig and glads defense. I mean c'mon Canthan friggin mission, gg. |

50 orbs for this LONG and HARD mission. I got more from soloing level 18 yetis. Not worth it at all (unless you really need 50 orbs??)
EDIT: No green drops AT ALL. No chests. If you want to beat it ----> Get an ele, STANCE TANK, monk and MM. The tank should be much more ahead of everyone else to take hits and keep aggro on him. It'll come down to times where you have to run, and make sure you check your map (by pressing "U") to find all the locations of the rifts. But I strongly recommend that YOU DON'T DO this mission, the time factor and rewards are simply not worth it (approx. 1 hr for first timers, you get 50 orbs as your ONLY reward) Last edited by d3fcon; Jul 02, 2006 at 04:55 AM // 04:55.. |

got to the 5th rift with ma group, but our monk then got rocked by 3 dudes popping out from the floor =/
Like someone before said, prohecies spell would be so helpful (IE. Illusionary weaponary, hooray with blind, renders warrior to be useless) but it certainly isn't necessary... just gotta take a long time. And is it worth it for the reward which seems to be 50 orbs? I don't know. |

As much complaint as there is about the 50 orbs, its possible, maybe even likely, that there will be more quests after this one with better rewards.

I played tank and got to the third rift, but it's pretty hard with a pug. You need expert players to get very far. The odd thing is it is completely limited to high levels, unlike the rest of the events.

This quest has to be a joke. I refuse to believe that anybody at A-Net would put a player through this kind of strain to get such a crappy-ass reward. You get 90 Orbs for killing roughly 10 Grasps of Insanities (level 18 ones, mind you) on a soloable quest, and then you roll into this mission, which is...pretty difficult, kill 15 level TWENTY-EIGHT grasps of insanities, among dozens of other mobs, and it's time-consuming, and you only get 50 Jade Wind Orbs..
There is no logic in the rewards-to-effort ratio on this mission. Even as a stand alone quest, and not comparing to the other quests, the reward is just a piece of crap. I hope A-Net has some kind of gift to be provided at the end of the festival for completing this headache, otherwise my faith in them is gone. This quest was worthless, and I want the past 2 and a half hours of my life back. |

it's still more gratifying to me...i asked for a high level quest, and i got it...i don't care about the reward, not having a good reward just makes it less frustrating when you lose
edit: but yeah, i'm assuming it's a bug that you don't get a quest after this one, there has to be more to this than an insane quest with a crappy reward...i'm sure there's more to it....maybe a green didn't drop, maybe the 2nd quest didnt show up, not sure Last edited by The Great Al; Jul 02, 2006 at 05:16 AM // 05:16.. |
