That is right. I am glad that they did not change some things to make them easier to obtain like LDoA.

I remember working long and hard for my LS but then the boxing came out and you ca get it in a day.

TBH WTF don't give bad advice and your math is off. 2 pets+8 players=/=16.

And @ OP, the mission is easy enough, work for your rewards ffs and the instant gratification of getting it cause you already did it doesn't apply. If you really want it DO THE FRIGGING MISSION, god people these days are way too spoiled.

My advice is to not take any advice from this guy.

Well then it would seem like I have no idea what I am talking about. Hero's/Henchies it is then.

I am OK with that. Hero's and Henchies are controllable to the most part.

Oh if everyone runs ranger and has a pet then that is 8 players and 8 pets for 16.

On a side note, when I first started to play PvP I played my War/Monk. I got killed cause I had no pet. I had to kill 2 kill two things. Then I got ranger with pet for extra damage. Now I have 3 hero's on most mission and take henchies with me as the game is way easy with H/H and no one plays with real people in all 8 slots anymore.

So I have 3 Maxed out Hero;s with pets and I take the monk henchmen. I have 8 in my party and 4 Hearty pets to hold agro. Easy stuff.

So basically I remember doing only one mission a night before the expansions cause we were all trying to balance out builds. That is where the skill was. Setting the builds to go with a group and how to react to different situations.

An example of that is I had 4 different shields for my war for every mission that I went on. I would change shields depending on what baddie that I was facing at the time. I have NEVER heard of that being done anymore.

So, if you want someone to show you old school stuff like Pulling and holding agro with pets alone look me up sometime. A S L A N is the toon.

The Meth · Jun 19, 2008, 02:53 PM // 14:53

'Pulling and holding aggro' and using pets in general are signs of bad players. Good players kill things. The fact that you aren't using either Necros or Ritualists and that warrior waste slots on both survival skills AND pet skills shows you have no idea how to kill things.

Kanyatta · Jun 19, 2008, 02:58 PM // 14:58

TBH, Factions, Nightfall, and EotN were just too easy. Walk into an arena, fight the baddie, and win. Prophecies was the only end-game mission done right, an actual mission. Oh, and StueyG, the story for Prophecies was the only one that I actually felt compelled to follow. Factions story was kind of stupid in general and Nightfall really didn't have one. I don't really know about EotN, because I haven't gotten the work ethic to complete it yet.

IMHO, if they're going to do anything, they should revamp Factions and Nightfall endgame to be an actual mission. I think it would be cool.

/notsigned @ OP

Are you serious? You've "NEVER heard of that being done"? Obviously you either don't pay attention or don't play the game. People have been doing that since 20 days after release.

MithranArkanere · Jun 19, 2008, 03:57 PM // 15:57

If they made the Lich MUCH, VERY, VERY, VERY, ...
[ten minutes later]
...
VERY, VERY, VERY, MUCH harder, then I would do agree with this. After all, youcould consider Rurik the boss of the previous battle and put the Lich separately then.

But the Fight with the lich should be something around 3..7 minutes, not something you can do in 30 seconds.

It could be the second timed mission in Prophecies, after the Doppelganger one.

This thing that they added at the end WHO CARES. I can make a weapon with the same mods in EYE OF THE NORTH.

Matter a fack I can craft a 5K weapon or shield or whatever with the req of 9

The Reward that I mentioned is PROTECTOR OF ASCALON! Geesh. No more on it. If you play this right it only take 15 minutes tops!

The problem if I might be so bold is that NO ONE knows how to play the game anymore.

You need 7 REAL people with you. Not H/H but get yourself into a team like this...

3 Monks - 2 War - Ele - Ranger - Mes and it can easily be done.

One of the monks is SMITING 600.

You appear to be mistaken what Legendary Protector of Ascalon title is. Also, a trapper ranger, eh? A Mesmer too?

you may be mistaken. there is no title called "legendary protector of ascalon". there's "legendary defender of ascolon" in which you must hit lvl 20 in pre-searing. Protector of Ascolon requires you to do mission and bonus on all missions in Prophecies. this is one of 6 titles required for Legendary Guardian.

i could be confused too though because it's kind of hard to follow what imnotyourmother says a lot of times.

Tyla · Jun 19, 2008, 04:58 PM // 16:58

I believe "less time consuming" should be how it is said.

Either way if you won't work for it don't bother.

Yeah, Legendary Defender of Ascalon, not protector.

Protector of Tyria.

I actually love this mission the way it is. Not really hard at all but a little longer than the others. It is the last mission of the best campaign and it still reigns supreme.

It took longer for you to log on to here, register, type out this post than it would to complete that mission....

I'm pretty sure he's trolling you all.

I sincerely HOPE he's trolling you all...nobody could be THAT noobish...

How anyone can feel it's such a chore to walk through a mission, look some at the scenery and kick the shit out of a few insignificant foes is beyond me.

They should have made the other end game greens harder to get. Leave the Prophecies end game greens as they are please.

Thizzle · Jun 20, 2008, 04:51 AM // 04:51

All you do is get a run to THK and then do three missions and you're done. If your from Prophecies then you have to get ascended. and that is also not a big deal.
