Curse

I was wondering which campaign is easier to get the protector title in(all mission masters normal mode): Nightfall or Prophecies? I already did Factions since that was the easiest lol, so I'm trying to figure out which one I should do next(since I only have to get protectors in 2 campaigns for the HOM).

Thanks in advance!

Prophecies has more missions but are easier, I'd say. Either one works though, not a lot of difference.

I'd do canthan HM in that case.
NF over Proph though. Prophecies has really long missions but on the positive you get to experience awesome lore and surroundings. You'll probably end up doing em both anyway, it's really fun first times around.

I agree with maya, do cantha HM but if you want to go to another continent def NF. More of a fun challenge than a annoying krytan challenge

Proph is longer, but the missions are more straightforward, and generally easier. It also has much richer story, and scenery is gorgeous.

NF is less likely less overall time to complete, and you'll pick up heroes along the way, but some of the missions can be frustratingly hard to newer players, and you'll be forced to come back and do two missions later, given the way heroes and some missions interact.

Prophecies is much more fun and well thought-out. NF is boring, it forces you to sit in noob island for about 3 years... Prophecies has so many different landscapes, it's never a dull moment.

Am I the only one who thinks Prophecies is crap? It's relatively easy but amazingly boring imo. More OT however; while I'd start with Cantha, you may as well do all the continents if you're interested in titles.

Prophecies has lots of missions but they pass quickly, for example in Factions you have lots of quests that actually take time in the beginning as the way is a bit harder to find.

Nightfall has 50/50 from those both campaigns, but still have the hardest missions in all the Trilogy..

I prefer Factions, you can Master it easily, might only have some problems with Eternal Groove or something..

^^ This. If you're looking for easy, Prophecies is the way to go, especially if you pick up some heroes first. Prophecies was not designed for heroes, so having them makes most of it ridiculously easy, even if the missions are more time consuming than other campaigns.

The only place where you might encounter real difficulty is in the Dunes of Despair mission, which has what is probably the hardest bonus in the game. However, the advantage to Prophecies is that you can do most of the bonuses separately, and do not need to repeat the entire mission to pick up a failed bonus. See the wiki to learn about doing the Dunes bonus using Necrotic Traversal.

I personally found Nightfall easier than prophecies imo, the hidden city was a pain but when you learnt the correct pulling zones it was easy to corner bunch them, the last bosses can all be pulled away without alerting the others as well so that makes it easier. Thunderhead keep and the ring of fire islands chain really got on my tits in hard mode though..... this was before i discovered spiritway and discordway mind you..... a long time before 7 heroes were released as well =/

Yes actually with the new 7 heroes, its way more easier to complete the hardest missions.

nf is definetely nicer than proph for masters.

proph bonuses are old and buggy

NF bonuses are alot more straightforward.

I'll take NF over prophecies anytime. It's the campaign I did last for everything, vanquishing was boring and doing the missions nearly had me stop playing the game.
