how longs hard mode been out, im pretty sure this was available last year, i could be wrong

Oooh these missions are lots of fun. Especially when you get 4 people, totally random professions (we had no healers) to do it. It doesn't take that long to do it, and is guaranteed fun (as long you don't take it too seriously). Henched it second time, so not as much fun.. So my advice: If you want to have fun with some other people, go for it.. otherwise, leave it be

Tokens are falling everywhere in pre I got 30 in 2 hrs and what can we use them on.

did it for a laugh,it was easy ripped through it with ursan to see what we would get awful drops and 50 tokens,but as i had 6 stacks of them it was a total waste of time (sold 5 stacks and bought tickets)

Honestly, if you like the challenge do them, but the rewards are not worth it and there's nothing to show for it anyway. So just tell go tell people you did it, they can't prove you didn't.

I did all of them last year it wasn't worth it.

As someone who just wasted a solid 15 on Haiju Lagoon - no. Not in the least.

They're worth it for the experience of doing them, but not for the in game rewards.

Did the Lagoon one yesterday, as I never finished one in previous festivals.
After two heroes died a couple of times, we managed to finish it. Just remember to take out the ele's & mezzies out quick.

It's more for the "sense of accomplishment", I guess.

NOT worth it... >.>

seriously..

12 chars lolwut

Phoenix Tears · Jul 05, 2008, 09:59 AM // 09:59

nope, absolutely not worth it...

the rewards are bullshit, because wen you just want to collect the 250 Victory Tokens, its much easier to make the 4 little Quests. Completign them earns you 240 tokens, then jusr make some rollerbeetle races to get the last 10 tokens and you have enough tokens for your mask..

it would be rewarding, if players would receive instead of tokens big amounts of party items, alc or sweets.
Then that would be really rewarding.

That's why I made them ONCE.

To have any re-try attractive they MUST give 50 tokens for EACH Rift closed, WHEN you close the rift, EVEN if you lose.

Otherwise they are good to try once and forget about them.

I find The Wall much more fun to retry than any of those.

Proff · Jul 05, 2008, 01:27 PM // 13:27

Did the last mission in like 15 mins for 75 tokens...

Miska Bow · Jul 05, 2008, 02:24 PM // 14:24

Its nice to see that Anet kept in mind the casual players for those missions.

All you can read about them in local chat is how so many fail at them.

Doing them for the sake of it, but not really enjoying them. I think they are a bit too hard core for most players.

Longasc · Jul 05, 2008, 04:02 PM // 16:02

I like these missions.

They reveal how BAD people are at playing this game, but unfortunately this is not an incentive for them to become better.

In GW2, you cannot fail. Your fail will be rewarded a title and precious items.

The future of GW? Hopefully not.
GW2 hopefully gradually challenges people more and more so that they become better players automatically, enabling them to do some more sophisticated missions. "Easy and accessible" often spells the doom of boredom on every not super casual gamer.

Navaros · Jul 05, 2008, 04:57 PM // 16:57

Nope. Not at all worth it. Never have been, never will be (unless Anet is proactive about this issue and fixes the reward for those missions so that they become reasonable).

Tatyana K · Jul 06, 2008, 01:33 AM // 01:33

Did two of them with heroes just to prepare for vanquishing 4 men areas in Tyria. I don't care for reward (I'm the one of those that do them just for fun), but they could make new mission appear every hour and not every 4 hours - this way I can only catch 1 mission in a day.

-Lotus- · Jul 06, 2008, 07:20 AM // 07:20

i got destroyed 4 times... im not use to build for a 4 man team. the strategy is just to different. plus your healer actually has to do something unlike in a 2-monk backline.

back to the rings...
