wow...

I enjoyed GW quests and all. At least, it was a different experience everytime I played.

Sure, sometimes, I failed missions, had to redo them, but ALL of them were doable, with some decent groups.

but now... got to the place where I have to do...

5 INFUSION RUNS

game promotes no grind? sure, elite system... etc, i understand, you work on it, and you'll get it. You'll feel like you achieved something after hard work...

but infusion runs... omg... worst idea ever.
The mission is IMPOSSIBLE without fully infused party.
Now, gotta run to that seer 5 times... and there's always someone who doesn't skip the cinematics which last like... 10 minutes... no joke...

Speaking of which, Ice Cave mission, you HAVE to skip the LAST cinematics after saving Evanna. Else, 50 Mursaats will be waiting outside the cave for you.

what do you all think about this infusion runs?
i'm one of the lucky guys who found infusion run group, and got 5 infusions in 1 hour... and thank god it only lasted an hour...

I hardly think that is a grind. To make that one a grind they would have to make it so you have a 25% chance to get your armour infused, or only 1 person get the reward.

Infact, i don't think anyone should be allowed to use the word "grind" unless they went from 50-60 in the kunark era in Everquest.

You don't NEED to infusion run, alot of people beat the game without more then 1 infuse. There's no NEED, it's just easier.

Do we count the 4 hours of daily sitting LFG in Seb as part of the grind?

Talking about grinding in the Kunark area in EQ...I did that with my bard in Dreadlands and Burning Hills.

Lineage 2 was awesome!!! i was a lvl 58 SK (don't know why i picked SK..their lighting strike was awesome

for those who don't get why u can't use the word grind unless u played lineage 2 is because starting from lvl 30 it will take around 10 hours to lvl once and later on around lvl 50ish it will take around 20 if you have a good group that is

I beat the game with only 2 infusesions. And the second one was by accedent. Stop whining and play.

who the **** cares, it takes about 10 minutes a run, you probably spent more than an hour picking your ass and spamming for people to buy your crap items in LA anyways.

First of all I agree that it was rediculous that it only infused one piece of armor, it should do all five for all members of the party.. but not a huge deal

"The mission is IMPOSSIBLE without fully infused party"

well definately dont agree here as I beat it with full hench team first try, I was fully infused though ... btw I also infused 4 pieces by clearing with hench, took about an hour total

"Speaking of which, Ice Cave mission, you HAVE to skip the LAST cinematics after saving Evanna. Else, 50 Mursaats will be waiting outside the cave for you."

also never had any trouble with this, though i only did it twice

I do have another gripe of a different type of 'grind'.. and its finding elites to capture when they arent in any of the missions. I would be completely understanding if they are in the missions.. but searching randomly throughout southern shiverpeaks, rof, fissure and underworld is getting annoying. I didn't buy this to play some kind of elite skill pokemon type game, honestly lol

*goes back to looking for barrage*

oh btw kunark era was a bitch to 60, but much easier as a rogue, glad i wasnt a wizard or especially not a magician ew lol
