ive been considering actually finishing final assault (after i get my first char through NF though :O)

places that i love in GW:

Southern Shiverpeaks in general
Maguuma Jungle
ANY Kurz Territory, mainly near Vasburg
The Deep (amazing!!!) (dont like urgoz much though)

nightfall has pretty much failed at pleasing my eyes... im at the first 'gate' mission or something close to it... not very interesting

I have to admit, I love SF. I still go back and farm there from time to time for kicks, even though it's not the most profitable activity out there. Perhaps one of the biggest reasons I like this area is that you can get in, do some good farming with other people (but not necessarily a huge group where you will get very little in the way of drops) and be able to do so without needing a huge time commitment. If time is available, quests, oro/questless farming, or just general exploration is nice, but you can always just go for a quick FA run if you don't have much time.

I get to Deldrimor War Camp on my ranger finally and I'm dissapointed. As soon as I'm there it's "B/P lf B/P group!" etc etc. I'm so sick of these groups from Tombs that I'd rather not even go to SF if this is the only kinda groups people are running.

AJD · Mar 02, 2007, 03:20 AM // 03:20

Heh, my guild plays down there regularly. It is one spot in all the games that we have not gotten sick of, it is never boring and actually takes strategy, not lame builds to beat (besides BP, but we never use a bp build).

VitisVinifera · Mar 02, 2007, 03:48 AM // 03:48

my favorite area by far. Great mood, atmosphere, uniqueness. You can explore it, farm it, or go questing (or all of the above). The effort to reward ratio is perfect.

Wish Doa were more like SF

I'm a newer GW player and I have just started going through this area. Today in fact was the first time I have done the Kilroy Stoneskin quest, and it was great. I really like the area so far.

I do have to admit though, it is a little easy with my 2 searing flames and mm hero. I have a feeling the later quests in the area are going to get harder though, which I am looking forward to

I payed off my 55 monk runes by monking for b/p groups here. its great. some of the greens are sub par, but this place is what got me into green farming. i love it

What else? Qouted for truth.

sf is brilliantly designed, props

Kay84 · Mar 02, 2007, 09:27 AM // 09:27

Yeah SF is nicely done!

With the ruins and all.. I should visit it again soon :P

Arduin · Mar 02, 2007, 09:37 AM // 09:37

Sorrow's Furnace has been a brilliant addition to Prophecies. The music especially gets you into the mood. Funny quest dialogues, the poor and suppressed Dregs, some nice greens, (Drago's, Galigord's and Rago's stuff are still in high demand). It all adds to it.

While inside, the feeling just gets to you that you do not belong there. Here you are, a 8-man fighting force, against a overwhelming amount of Stone Summit. Everywhere you go, you here whispers about some terrible entity, lurking deep inside the Furnace... It kind of reminds me of Tolkien's Moria.

Definately two thumbs up for this piece of work, which still is enjoyable after a year and a half. It really makes the Domain of Anguish pale in comparison.

Archangel Xavier · Mar 02, 2007, 10:11 AM // 10:11

I enjoy sf as well. Not only is it well designed graphically and technically, but it is also an excellent place to farm. Sorrow's Furnace is the farming spot for people who like farming.

Another area that is very good looking is the Dragon's Lair mission. Very cool.

Raxxman · Mar 02, 2007, 12:09 PM // 12:09

I really like the enemies as well.

Hengis · Mar 02, 2007, 01:57 PM // 13:57

It makes me wonder how the same company can get something like Sorrow's Furnace so absolutely right, yet get Domain of Anguish so absolutely wrong.

Ok, so Sorrows Furnace now seems reasonably easy, but at the time it was released it took team work and planning, but you certainly didn't die within seconds. Yes, you could easily get whole party wipes, but you had some fun and explored a bit before that happened!

The graphics are beautiful, the quests are genuinely fun, the dialogue is funny, the drops (or at least some of them) are even now still pretty good, and above all, the difficulty level was pitched just about right.

I still go back to Sorrow's Furnace regularly, but won't go near the Domain of Anguish.

Sorrow's Furnace is how DoA should have been done.

King's Spectre · Mar 02, 2007, 02:38 PM // 14:38

I agree with everyone else, SF is great.

Agreed. Definatly better than DoA, least the greens actually have some variety and that includes names and stats.

Kilroy Stonekin's quest is great fun

Different design teams and so on.

SF was the greatest update ever, it's easy, yet still challenging and the variety in landscapes down there are beyond anything else in GW.

The Bloodrose · Mar 02, 2007, 03:44 PM // 15:44

I went down with a full guild group last night and pretty much cleared it. A lot of looney nonesense was said on our vent, and fun was had by all. I still remember the day it was released. Before my group left there was 22 Dist's in CR. When we finally got there it was amazing. The music, the graphics, the quests. Hands down best update EVER!
