Annoyed with quest set-up to cross over to Elona

I wanted to bring my Faction chars over to Nightfall as fast as possible but the one thing that slowed that process is the quest forcing us to fight level 28 foes before shipping to Elona. This is annoying, I think the quest set-up they had for trasferring between Cantha and Tyria was better; where we fought the quests after mapping to the continent you want to be on, not before you entered. This way, you don't have to complete the quest at that moment if you don't want to and you're still in the continent you wanted to get in.

They make us fight a quest before entering the continent as if our intentions are to accomplish a quest, when really we just want to get to the continent already and play the new campaign. Am I the only one that feels this way? Nightfalls is freaking awesome and I would like to bring all my chars there without spending pointless time for a quest that just brings to Elona.

Trying with an Assassin? YOU SUCK AS AN ASSASSIN YOU FREAKEN NOOB!

But seriously, Henchies went braindead when I tried to bring my Sin across. I had no trouble with any other classes taking on these monsters yet with my mesmer, the henchmen seem to want to willingly die.

...

There is nothing wrong with the quest, it takes hardly any time at all to do. All you need to do is beat up a small group of mobs, which takes hardly anytime at all.

So basically your annoyed at having to do a bit of work to get somewhere?

<---L15 E/Mo (Me)
L20 W/Mo (Guildy)
L10 Henchies

Problem solved getting out of Kryta, maybe it'll be the same in Cantha

I solo'd the Tyria-> Elona quest with my sin....

Lol you can't handle groups of 3-4 with no healers? have fun in nightfall...

It's easier from Cantha than from Tyria. At Kaineng at least you get 8 person parties and level 20 henchies. I don't understand why you'd complain about this quest; it doesn't take very long in the first place... Just henchie it..

I brought my Echo/Renewal ele first attempt btw and it's not about dieing during the attempts to crossing over. It's just an unnecessary way of allowing us to trasfer our characters.

Whats wrong with doing a quest??? Jeez, you have to a quest to almost anywhere in the game, what's different here?

Canthans had it easy reaching Tyria... Tyrians had to fight a single L20 Afflicted to get to Kaineng. I had no probs with that and I don't have much of a problem getting to Elona.

difference is that I prefer taking care of the quest when I'm on the new continent and when I feel ready to finish the quest.

Why not take your char's and do the Tyrian quest, get the necro hero, then come back and do the canthian quest for the assasin hero.

I personally hate this quest, because when I did it, I grabbed the henchies from LA and went right in. I attacked the first portal, and not only did another Grasp aggro, but a Scythe (fire damage one) did too. Naturally Alesia at level 10 couldn't handle it, and I lost survivor on my ele. So I'm pretty annoyed at the fact that despite it being a few monsters, the monsters you fight are 14 levels and 18 levels above the henchmen, which shouldn't be the case.

Are we allowed to be annoyed at the people who are annoyed? If so, then I am.

For chrissakes, it's a 10-minute quest tops from Kaineng Center, and it took me maybe 4 minutes from Lion's Arch. You guys do actually read some of the dialogue from npcs when given quests, right? The quests are part of the storyline.

Meh, I didn't think it was that bad myself. If you seriously encounter problems with it and have Prophecies, do the quest from LA since it's almost a joke at how easy it is from there.

my mesmer solo'd the crossover quest when i got the witches hat thanks to a friend with a buddy key. really shouldnt have trouble with a group of hench regardless of their level.

I soloed it on my mesmer :S

You don't ever have to fight more than one mob at a time (LA version). Good aggro practice perhaps?

I had no problem getting to any of the campaigns from Nightfall or vice-versa, with any of my characters.
This has nothing to do with getting to Elona, I have died 3 times since I started my Nightfall warrior. Thus I don't think there is any problem with any quest setup.
Getting my other characters to Elona took, as others have said, around 10 minutes.
One healer and one prot hero, +2 healer henchies, an interrupter and two damage dealers = extremely easy if not incredibly fun to get through the game. I haven't been in a real group since Nightfall was released, every mission thus far mastered with the same henchies. If you don't have the ability to use for monks, 3 suffices just fine if you give your heroes the proper builds. Heck, you could even have one be a smiter and rely on two healers.

But getting over to Elona? You shouldn't need all that healing power.
Just be careful and don't put yourself in a stupid position to get yourself killed.
