Patience - Guild Wars Forums

Man people need to have a little patience in this game. Seems most people are mission mission mission, whatever it takes let's get to the mission areas!

One of the primary quest guys died on us in the zone and I figured we would zone and go back, but no we pushed forward. Then we got another quest in that zone, zoned and we skipped that guy for EXP too.

So now I am out 1k of EXP that I can't go back solo to get because idiots just wanted to get to the next mission area and log.

It was a great group too, but none-the-less they are all on my ignore list.

I know there is no monthly fee so we get a lot of kiddies playing this game, but grow some patience please.

I think you can go back and redo the mission. It records whether or not you successfully completed them, so if you missed that one it is recorded in the game. Go back to whereever it started and this time take some sane people with you!

I know I can, And I have to fight all those again with another group instead of continuing. I'm just saying it kind of sucks when ppl do that.

Use henchmen, they never rush you.

I only use henchmen, I have my own game pace and I don't like changing it.

Yeah, thing I hate about henchmen is that the mobs always go after the healer first (at least everytime I have used them). I am only a ranger so I can't kill them fast enough.

Hi all,

Speaking of the NPC Henchman, i do think this game has good AI. I also realy only do quests with the NPC's or ill use the close friends i have in the guild i made on the game.

I love this game, lol

It's all good, she can tank 2 things at once and keep herself healed usually. And if she dies it's NP cuz the other guys can rez her (all of them have rez signet, and I think they can use it an unlimited number of times). The trick is to get the tanks to run out first, by starting an attack and canceling before you shoot/attack, they run forward and once they get there they can hold most of the agro. I use both warrior henchmen.

Cool. Thanks for the tip...

Is there a requirement before getting some henchman - I tried to hire one but it kept saying I had to group with an ally first - which is one of the early quest - does that mean I have to group with someone before being able to group with henchmen?

Thanks in advance,

Zai · May 02, 2005, 04:29 PM // 16:29

There's no requirement, but henchmen are only in post-sear. Then you'll see them standing in town, and they have the word "[Henchman]" in their name.

Henchmen do get their share of XP, gold and drops. (Item drops that would be reserved for them just don't drop.)

Aye, but it would go to actual players anyway, so you aren't really losing anything. And going all alone isn't possible after Ascalon.
