You have to be either God or Jimmy Bondage to even get passed the first couple of groups...


I'll just wait for some crazy Korean to make a solo build...

...and then I'll wait for Anet to nerf it straight away.

I'm still stuck at work and I'm getting some great ideas on builds for my Paragon to counter the spiking.

Angelic Protection + Angelic Bond + "Incoming!" should help handle the initial spike from the aggro just fine, the question (that I won't really have the answer to until I try it myself) is the enemy behavior after the initial aggro spike.

Sorry ANet, too hard and frustrating for my tastes.
And I just KNOW that this is going to rely on builds to get anywhere, and I very much doubt that any of those builds will accomodate warriors.
As my warrior is the only character I've completed the game with, and I can't face the sheer tedium of forcing my other characters through the campaign and capping all of the necessary elites, I doubt I'll be playing DoA much.
Sure, the hardcore players will probably have a whale of a time here.
Guess I'm just not hardcore enough.

Stygian Hungers are like a primitive advanced form of touch rangers O.o, I manged to run by them, but theres another area cut off so that means you gotta kill the 12 pack of em somehow. "Cant Touch This" ftw lol. anywho, most chests I could find within range is 1, so I guess you could keep zoning until you get that 1 chest spawn?

*sigh* you think any of us aren't, Saverok? Maybe it's my luck (it has a reputation for being HORRIBLE. In alliance chat anyway >.>) but I can't find a group that is competent, or lucky, enough to get past the first 2 or 3 waves of enemies. Blargh.

I don't think Sean Connery could take this place without a little help from the rest of the League 0.o and a couple hundred thousand soldiers.

I don't understand why everyone is going.
"OMG IT'S TOO HARD I DON'T LIKE IT!"

Then go backto the underworld and fissure. For your endgame kicks... But if your like me and you want to swim off the deep end. "Monk lfg "

I'm finally happy that The realm of pure insanity is now actually... Pure insanity!

I've not made it past the third mob of margonites myself. but when I do Damn will that be satisfying.
At the moment I find it quite funny dying so fast
heal tank heal tank. *Crack* Other monk is kicked down to 5% health in one go. *Spike heal other monk* SAVED! then *Crack again* and 3 players who were at full health are just... gone... There wiped from max to nil in one hit.

I think that should be the motto of the Domain of Anguish "He's dead jim"

I bet there are a bunch of devs sitting around laughing at everyone. This will teach people to rush the game and call it too easy!
It is getting a little boring standing around in town for an hour LFG then dying in the first minute inside. This is definatly gonna be one of those places that will have a gimmick build like B/P that doesn't include warriors, guess i better get the ranger thru quicker.
Love the challenge and new skins are awesome!

Ok, so I"m in a complaining mood.. but.. you think you might wanna back off with telling us to go back to playing UW and FoW until we've had a chance to get INTO a group to discover it's too hard?

Not everyone has a monk, a nuker or a ranger end game, those of us who don't.. well.. lets hope this isn't turning out like tombs, where a mesmer has virtually no chance of getting into a team.

yeah , or other mottos could be "your party has been defeated" or "make your time"

Not that I don't like the difficulty, i've got pass 2 mobs and i think is fairly good progress or at least work in progress.

enjoy your success now cause it won't last long.. don't believe me?? do a survey and ask the people who bought your game!

Maybe you should let the in game population naturally find ways to cope with the new challenges before you make the omfguberzpwnage2hardmegaparagraph. The DoA has been out for a matter of hours, no one knows the strategy for it yet. Just wait a little while, experiment. Just chill out, as more people try it it will gradually get easier.

Imagine Chapter 4 with all the missions and quests like this. Level 28 enemy in mob of 15 to 20!

Guess no one could possibly finish the game that fast in few days.

Well I've given it another thought.. Still sucks.. im sorry i just can't get past the changes since prophecies and nightfall... no more 55'ing no more choosing my own quests to do being forced to find groups in the game in order to do missions (only problem is) MOST (not ALL) people in this game either could care less or are immature to actually be good enough to play the game hence staying in a town waiting for a group for sometimes up to 2 hours to die in a few seconds. Prophecies was good cause it gave us choices and was FUN to play this is a game it's supposed to be enjoyable and fun and im sorry it's not fun. The plot line was good better than factions but don't make it so hard people don't enjoy the game cause without enjoyment what's the point!

It's ok to make a game a little easy. Just like tomb runs. they were hard to a point but not stupidly hard. I don't like the fact that they make certain area's good for certain characters basically forcing people to use those characters or they don't get invited into any groups. or making it sooo hard u can't do it with hero's/henchies. Sometimes i don't want to play with other humans cause they either screw around or can't do it but in nightfall i don't have a choice can't play the game solo because of the difficulty level.

This game is almost as much of a joke as factions was... only reason i bought it was because it was supposed to be better... boy was i wrong.. tedious long missions that i can't be bothered to play anymore..

Something else bugs me.. i went to buy the stragedy guide so i could learn the new spells for paragon and dervish kept being told yeah it's on it's way then told a couple weeks later sorry they cancelled it.. how are we as players supposed to no what all the spells are if we can't read up on it till someone finished the game.. that just plain sucks.. Anet made HUGE mistakes on this game.. if they lowered the difficulty level of enemies and only made a handful of em lvl 24's and above maybe the game would be a bit easier hence more enjoyable.

Well once I figure whats killing me I'll find the counter...

Thing is I was dying too fast to see what dropped me. But I been doing tomb runs all day while waiting for favor which never happened so my eyes hurt.

Thing is with all these elite missions simple is better. So I bet wahtever the heel is its probably so simple its stupid.

I'm just glad the R8 LB don't mean squat. lol

Okay I have done 10 Chest runs in Stigax Veil or what not and I will say this now. I have gotten 9 Golds and 1 purple (purple being a wooden longbow? weird i know) and all golds have either perfect or near perfect stats on them. So if your wondering on if you should spend 1,500 on a key or not. I suggest you do. It may be worth your while XD

Ps i havent gotten an elemental sword....yet XD

That's all you need.

As for that you don't want to group with people: that's your choice, but being anti-social means you simply may have to miss out on certain parts of the game. I choose to be in a very very small guild with a few real-life friends, and thus I have never been in a Guild vs. Guild battle even though I've played since the first WPE. That's just the way things are.

I agree that DOA is hard and is overwhelming almost all the time but it is obviously doable. Anyway there are plenty of builds that could overcome this. For example the monk. You could have a group with an invinci monk and use it to take all damage and while the enemies are mindlessly bashing away the monk uses a skill to make all enemies take damage when they attack. You could also use shadow form in conjunction for enchantment strippers. I don't know if that would work cause i don't have a monk but come on you DOA bashers. If you are having trouble with this then adapt your build to it. So open your minds.
