Is this Mission a joke?

i've reached the place the very first day of Factions release.. and i'm still in there !!!

i wont mention the stupid pug / lag / dl etc probs, u all saw a ton of thread about that ...

the last update is supposed to fix this... NOT !!

3 tries this morning, the same crap keeps happening, Menhlo and Togo dont follow u after the 2nd fight... this is my 23th tries at this, t dont get it and it's really pissin me off, it's already a mess to complete something i dont wanna wonder IF the NPC ll be buggy or not

their are ppl that should be ashamed of their programming work, i tell u that

so here's the thing again .. how do u get em to follow ya ???

Rayea · May 08, 2006, 01:31 PM // 13:31

hm....i managed it first time, but i had a full henchie setup
(except that there was one realside player that wasnt in my party, never said a word to me, wasnt showing up im my friendlies list and wanted to just skip it at the cutscene)

unless i got the wrong mission....well, im there now (its quieter to check for my pet there than in the main squares lol, takes less time to load)
so ill give it a go, assuming its the same quest were taking about

Riken Chrono · May 08, 2006, 01:33 PM // 13:33

they should be following you. here's a tip. Bring 2 monks and a VERY EXPERIENCED Orders necro with wells. becuase the wells was basically healing everyone and the monks didnt have to do much. monks should bring Healing Hands. The other monk, Mark of Protection. Bring Reversal of Fortune too

Witchblade · May 08, 2006, 01:33 PM // 13:33

i tried it.. full henchies or full human ppl.. doesnt change a thing

@Riken: even with a good human team full of monks, MM and stuff.. this keeps happening everytime

Rayea · May 08, 2006, 01:36 PM // 13:36

well, hon, im there now, again , assuming i have the girth quest part (im notorious for getting them fudged up lol)

im in Int1 of the forign quater, and its just me lol and the henchies ^^ its fabulously quiet heheeh

Nominal_Fee · May 08, 2006, 01:37 PM // 13:37

I have heard that it's hard but I have done it with 2 characters and I still have to fail it for the first time. On the second time, the other team was all hench and we didn't have a single death in our team. Wait till you get to Boreas Seabed- now this is a joke (almost impossible if you are not playing an interrupt- heavy class or the easiest mission in the game if you are a mesmer or a hammer warrior).

fiery · May 08, 2006, 01:41 PM // 13:41

Ya I henchied it as well with my warrior.

Rayea · May 08, 2006, 01:41 PM // 13:41

yeah, but dont forget, eveyone has a nightmare place in GW, for some of us, its elona, others its thirsty river, and for witchblade, its here....
sometimes its just one little thing that borks you up, even in any game...

(try using Brasstex's medievil fairground wheeled bins in the sims2 after OfB or FFP and load the lot, you'll see, it locks up till yu take em out)

jummeth · May 08, 2006, 01:50 PM // 13:50

they fixed the bug with the local quarter henchies running toward the foreign quarter players thus leaving Togo undefended? Thus mission failed glitch yet?

Riken Chrono · May 08, 2006, 01:52 PM // 13:52

i can monk for you. IGN- Chaos Frozen i'll probably be farming trolls or something but i'll come if i have enough time

Trin Storm · May 08, 2006, 01:56 PM // 13:56

I have actually never seen the bug myself, but I thought it was fixed.

The only times I've not been able to get through this mission is when the opposing teamis all Henchie. I think Rayea is right though - each of us have our mission from hell that seems to give us fits when our guild mates or friend get hopelessly stuck

jummeth · May 08, 2006, 02:00 PM // 14:00

I failed the mission 7 times in a row because all the other team's henches came running over to us, leaving Togo completely undefended. There is no way to get to the square quickly enough either, even running through all the Am Fah. (Foreign Quarter btw)

Rayea · May 08, 2006, 02:04 PM // 14:04

what bugged me was that, although i had done the friends of the am fah quest thing (so they were green to me and my henches) Mhenlo attacked them and i had to slap them around because of him ^^

(talk about being bad company^^ i mean,its worth it to have him along just to see him and Cynn fighting, but is it worth having to slap a group that im on No-Kill status with, to keep him about...gees, if i could just tell him..'um, their leaving us alone right now, dont go calling them thevin *delted* dog till they are outa earshot, ok?' lol)

ty

the bug has always been the same for me... the 2 first fights are ok.. but u cant get the door opened .. Menhlo and Togo are idling past the doors just after the 2nd fight :/

rollntider · May 08, 2006, 02:10 PM // 14:10

hmm...I had issues the first time, but since have gotten 2 toons through it...
on the first try a warrior and a MM. I do know that mission with Danika is bugged at times. I had to do it like 5 times before she would open the door....(its a mission later down the road)

Gli · May 08, 2006, 02:16 PM // 14:16

Very weird... I've heard about this countless times, yet I've brought 4 characters through this mission and only failed once. From the early access day till just yesterday, never a glitch anywhere.

Witchblade · May 08, 2006, 02:47 PM // 14:47

final observation: u GOTTA have a full hench opposite team to make it work?

first time i got no human ppl in the Cantha team.. this time both monks followed

i dont get it !!

**hugs** to Rayea ofc

as usual

Morgana · May 08, 2006, 02:57 PM // 14:57

hm... I've done Vizunah twice(foreign quarter both times) and never had any problems with it. Except for lag, which ended when I set my graphics to the lowest setting. To be quite honest, I kinda like the mission.

xxinsainxx · May 08, 2006, 03:27 PM // 15:27

its not hard to do it is buged but in my experience dont run down when u start the mission to togo i think it buges if u do that so make sure u kill everything at the start when ur on ur way to togo.

outferno · May 08, 2006, 04:15 PM // 16:15

Depends on how you start, I have never encounted this problem (maybe I'm lucky) but I've done it on 3 of my characters already (two Tyrian, one Canthan).

The thing I found frustrating was being in a Tyrian team and having a full group of henchies + 1 RL player on the Canthan team. The only solution we had was to have 1 of the monks run down and have the other 7 of us kill the Am Fah before we get to the center, so that one monk can heal Master Togo. This seemed to work out fairly well.

You can't simply have the whole team run through, or else Mehnlo will get himself stuck.
