Anyone Else Bored At Kryta? - Guild Wars Forums

Velric Shadran · May 12, 2005, 09:03 PM // 21:03

I am in Lion's Arch, have partially made it through the Cursed Lands and have yet to successfully finish D'Alessio Seaboard. This has been the most boring area of the game. The enemies and fight just feel lacking to me and I am finding it more difficult to come back to the game being that I am still at this point.

Anyone else reach a place like this?

Leventh · May 12, 2005, 09:09 PM // 21:09

PM me ingame (Loventh Sharpshot) i'll be glad to run you through it.

Sekkira · May 12, 2005, 09:56 PM // 21:56

I too am bored. Not really cause there isn't anything to do, but more because I can't find a decent (if any) group to venture out with me to the hot springs as I have two missions to do there first.

Ramus · May 12, 2005, 09:58 PM // 21:58

I have to agree, ive been stuck in lions for a while now. I did the next mission, but thats about it. Other then that ive been exploring a bit, but the missions are very hard without groups, and its so hard to find a group with the same missions.

Leventh · May 12, 2005, 10:01 PM // 22:01

throw me some ingame names, lets get this party started

I am not at Lion's Arch yet but am finding the henchmen really great to work with.

Same here. The only mission I've been unable to complete with henchmen so far is D'alessio Seaboard. That fight around the healing fountain is insane, and the henchmen are bad about attacking things other than what you attack. I've also discovered that with henchmen, ranged characters are the only ones that are worth getting, the brawler and fighter are too difficult to control.

Curlyfry · May 13, 2005, 02:20 AM // 02:20

Wow, you guys are far behind, I am about 14 mssions/primary quests past LA, and i am not bored AT ALL!!! Just keep doing missions to get farther, and the game just continually gets better

Cs Coldize · May 13, 2005, 03:02 AM // 03:02

the thing I find most frustrating about this game is the difficulty in finding a party. I took this game a lot slower than my friends so I could do every quest, get every section, and do everything while they are all close to ascending. I cant play with them so with who

Nlandge · May 13, 2005, 04:58 AM // 04:58

blandge the great here, me and my guild would be glad to help some people out, provided you get on teamspeak with us

pm me in game and ill see what i can do. we have alot of people here at all places, im at the frost gate with my current character, most of our guys are at the ring, but also have a bunch of secondary characters around the arch. so whisper me ingame.

VooDoo · May 13, 2005, 05:52 AM // 05:52

I just reached Gates of Kryta myself. R/Mo15. I was somewhat bored before since I pretty much did every single quest I could manage to find. My Quest log is EMPTY! I finally get to Kryta, ask around if any quests are available. And everyone says NO!

WTF? So from here on, all I have to do to gain levels is to grind? Ugh.

Sekkira · May 13, 2005, 06:00 AM // 06:00

They're lying.

Nlandge · May 13, 2005, 06:04 AM // 06:04

lol kryta is a mission, once you get ot lions arch there are several quests to do

Tormunda · May 13, 2005, 07:50 AM // 07:50

And don't write off the henchies too quickly. I have managed to do every mission so far with henchies. It's a case of which ones you take for which missions.
If you want to do the missions with just henchies as you love to solo, then make sure one of your classes is monk as you will need to assist your npc healer.

I do well with henchies as I take the monk and my secondary prof is monk.

You need new friends

. I have done each mission all the way past Kryta 2 or 3 times with friends and or people just needing another person to do it.

Nothing is stopping them from doing the missions with you. Heck, at 20 I ran a group of noobs through defending the wall because they were crying they couldn't figure it out, side quests and all.

Spike · May 13, 2005, 05:04 PM // 17:04

I'm at the wilds now and its just STUPIDLY diffcult I've tried the mission about 10 times and die with in a couple of mins each time. Does'nt matter who i take with me live people or AI 4 hits for anything there and i'm dead. Whats the point in playing if you can't get anywhere. I'm lvl 16 and my Ele/Mez build has been rather good up to now but its just useless in this mission. As it any build apart form w/mo. Last time i tried it there was 6 of us all lvl 16 to 18 and we all got killed in the 2nd battle by lvl 12 things. How stupid is that.

Lewick · May 13, 2005, 05:07 PM // 17:07

Once you get past Lion's Arch, things pick up. There are a lot of fun zones ahead. There are also some challenges to be had.

Just as a point of reference, just about everything is doable with henchmen. I've did all of the pre-ascension missions with henchmen, and while it was sometimes challenging, it was definitely fun. I've learned how to control what they do and what to expect from them, up to the level 17 henchmen you start getting after you leave Sanctum Cay.

I find the common objective with henchmen is to pump up your DPS as much as you can. With my character combo, R/Mo20, I've pumped up my smiting prayers skills and I just AE roll through groups of mobs efficiently. I also use the ranger concussion skill for those particularly nasty mobs (hydras, sand wyverns, etc.) It's an expensive skill, but with old Claude following me around, when I use a 25 energy skill he always tosses me a Blood Ritual and I'm good to go in a few seconds.

I know it sucks when people post this, but change your tactics. It's not a hard mission. Watch the pathing of the groups and take your time. Make sure you have a leader calling targets and everyone on the same page. I did the mission with all henchman so it can be done.
