Domain Of Anguish

Hale:

You can see any skill under any profession's attributes by going to a Priest of Balthazaar. These will not only be organized but will be updated with patches and will not become obsolete.
On the PvE aspect of not having the guide: That can only be solved by a bit of patience. Let some people go through it, and spread the word down to those behind. It will all become clear eventually.

Back on topic.

I've been scrambling through the end of NF hurrying desperately to get to the DoA since its first mention. I just reached the RoT and my friend with whom I'm doing the game with had to log off I was so disappointed that I would miss the first drops and screenies and such, but now I'm not so sad, by the time I get there some of the tough parts might be worked out! wewt.

Geezus. Your post is not only way off topic, but you're complaining for the sake of complaining for the wrong reasons at the wrong people. And you do realize that you can look up the skills on the forums right?

But then again I shouldnt expect much from someone who can't tell the difference between "no" and "know"

would that mean that there are little to no enchant strippers in that area?

We are in teams of 8 - they are not.

Lots of attributing your feelings to everyone else. Little substance. For your suggested "survey", I, for one, appreciate such difficult areas, because I know eventually we'll get them figured out and I will know I am a good player because I was able to accomplish something that not everyone could. That is one of the points of the elite mission, isn't it ? Having such an area in the game cannot possibly detract from the playing experience of casual players, since they still have all the other content. So, don't get so hung up on an area that is too difficult - just go explore the Plains of Jarin where you will probably enjoy yourself more.



I ROFLMAO'd at this one.

Ok, Gaile, you can tell us the truth. :P The devs haven't completed everything, so they give us this update, knowing we'll never get to the parts they haven't done, right ? LOL. Just kidding, but obviously, the thought did cross my mind. :P

not for the margonites, afaik. the menzies mesmers do, however.

Nah, only Blizzard does that (and the Everquest devs before them)

Margonites do strip enchantments. Not often, but enough.

Some obvious questions have been:
1) What do Coffer of Whisper's do.

2) How do you get the Embraces of Truth for the weapons (or w/e they are called)

I guess these will get answered the second a group actually makes it past the first 5 or so mobgroups in an area :\ (I was able to kill 2 groups with just Heros , only because I had 2 nukers and they were obstructed from hitting us down in a river thingie)

Each of the 4 areas has an "overlord" boss at the end too it seems, It'll be fun to read about beating them.

Eitherway, I'll be saving my team in the area until after rewards are confirmed, from the outpost all I can see is some scrub Hero Armor guy, and some ugly (IMO) Weapons.

Doesn't work, the margonites take 1 damage from sliver armor. You'll never kill anything.

You don't even have to do DOA if you don't want to unlike places such as gate of madness. Already people are bashing this area. In a short time builds and tactics to do this mission will be discovered and if you don't like DOA don't do it.

Well it looks like I found that Abyssal’s I was looking for in the realm of toument. Hounestly I feel like im the only one laughing at this, to me it’s hystrical. Not one of the so called “farming builds” work here, even if they had a lvl8 lightbringer title. I think A-net really did a service to all of by providing a kick butt dungen style area. Iv’e died so many times it’s pathetic but I still laugh. All ive been doing latly here is primary chest runs, it seems the only prductive thing you can do (and the rewards have been exelent). Thank you A-team.

To everyone who is crying how the realm is too hard and it's so unfair, some of you may or may not remember the UW and FoW back before people actually figured them out and came up with certain builds that worked very well in them. I was in several groups that wiped to the very first group of Ataxes. This was about 16 months ago, now that we've tamed the UW and FoW, ANet has given us an even tougher challenge, quit whining and enjoy it, or continue whining and go back to your safe UW and FoW.

No offense but that is bullcrap and you know it. There is no way that a group of 5 (with four of them being heroes none-the-less) could beat it. Sorry but just no.

I pity you for believing him.

Excactly my thoughts. I want enemies with challenging AI instead of enemies who 1-hit 3 of my party members at once.

It's a game, an excellent game, a challenging game. I don't understand how fair means fighting exact same level as yours. I enjoy the challenge.

Actually, I agree with you that it IS a FAVOR!!! They add a FREE area, missions, quests... that were NOT included the game you PAID for. This is EXTRA, something ANET does NOT have to do, just like all the special events that we all enjoy and were not part of the original game. Stop whining, and be grateful that they BOTHER and take time adding things for us, FREE.



Yes, they have nothing better to do that laugh at you while they sip some coffee. Impossible to do? maybe impossible to you, but I assure you, people will beat it. It's an ELITE area, it's meant to be HARD. If it's too hard for you, go play Sesame Street. You don't want to move up ur six characters? so? what's your point? Why would you sit there and play a game that is NOT fun, is HARD, and tedious and boring? mmmmmmmmmmmm , that really makes a lot of sense.


Maybe YOU should develop your OWN game? Do you think you have the brains for it? Oh yeah I forgot, you sit there and play a game that is NOT fun, is HARD, and tedious and boring? mmmmmmmmmmmm

Speak for yourself. I am loving every second of it.

You will be missed. Sesame Street FTW.

Would you buy the next chapter of Guild Wars?
Memememememememememe
I can't WAIT!!!!
Seriously, you might want to take a long look at your behavior. You buy a game, you don't like it, DON'T play it, simple. Play something that's easier and that you actually have fun with, I believe that's the purpose of games.

I have bought games that I did not enjoy. So? I put them away, and find one that I do enjoy. I don't whine about how hard it is, about how I WANT it to be, and sit there all frustrated blaming the developers because I KNOW they are watching me and laughing at me and made it hard just to aggravate me.
I see dead margonites, I hear little voices... GWEN??? IS that YOU???

Unlike any games out there, ANET DOES listen to our requests, the reasonable ones. Is it a perfect game? no, but it's not a perfect world either.
Do I love and agree with all the updates? no, but I move on, adapt and continue to have fun. If the day ever comes that I stop having fun, it will be then that I will stop playing, but I don't see that happening anytime soon!!!

agreed.

Proove it...

I tried it in a pug and we went down quick..)I did one of the other portals with just heroes for a look see and I lasted longer.It was a easier area from the other.It looked as if you could pull the groups to a managable size.
Having a ranger I switched to trapper.Seems to be a demand for them.
I am just curious why Anet set this up this way.Are they looking to push certain builds only?Certain classes?
To get the RIT you need to do certain mission.So are they doing it so only so many people can have the hero?
What really interest me is getting the Rit but if the hero is only good for after you beat the game then it is a waste.I like to use my heroes through out the game.That is the fun part for me.
Also just a note:Someone mentioned something about people being anti social because they did hero/hench thru the game.It could be because they were tired of dealing with prima donnas and leets you run into in pugs.They always seem to be the first to bail out or go afk in pugs I been in.Anyhow that is mach nix ...you buy games for fun...so have fun...oh well

qft

its sad that people feel a need to lie about their gaming accomplishments in a forum...

Yep why would you not take screens of being one of the 1st to beat a super hard and new mission quest.wanna show us the 250 ectos u got from the gems then?

i dont believe you......

I think it's doable. The problem is, finding a decent team build to do it.
The counter part is that this build probably (like many others) wont work for every profession, which means that Anguish will see a lot of the same ppl with the same professions :S

OMG I can't beat an area that was just opened today ANet sux0r

grow up people and learn to play, people wanted a challenging area, more than what we have had before and when it is produced people start crying because they gave it a couple of hours, mostly in PuGs, trying and dying.

Learn from your mystics, learn your enemies and move on. This is NOT impossible, the group I was in was able to take out about 3 of the groups after a few changes to builds and such, yes it was hard but I can guarntee that after awhile group builds for this area will start to appear and strategies will be formed.

It says "Elite Mission" right when you walk in the door, don't expect it to be a day at The North Gate, this is what people have asked for, maybe not all but some and this is what those people got. If you don't like it, do something you do like, you can still buy the items off of people who do learn to do it.

All I can say is aptly named, I'm in anguish from my last hour of trying to kill 1 mob...though I did manage to get that done. However, I think the 2nd mob was out for blood after that, cause I didn't last long.

I agree with you 100% if people were such flakes and bail half way through a mission as a bunch of monks i've seen if someone dies early all of a sudden uh oh. this group sucks time to bail.. then people wouldn't be complaining about it.. I like going through the game "occationally" joining up with a group but i don't want to feel compelled to do it.

I don't know why Anet does things specifically for certain classes or builds.. u'd figure a nice well rounded group (meaning every class) ina group would do better than having say 5 bp's 1 mm 2 monks and 1 rit. or something like that.. what about the other classes.. if they suck that bad and can't do the mission why did Anet make the classes to begin with.

Hey I teamed with you for a while! (Me = Hylian Nightmare). We got owned a few times by that first group than tried out chest running which actually provided us with some very nice drops. Though I am currently farming for some more money for keys

Its got nothing to do with beating the area. It has to do with not being able to kill the 1st group of mobs. Or the fact most if not all the mobs can kill you and your whole party in less than 5 seconds. Or the groups are so large and so close together you have no chance of pulling just one group. And so and so forth. I'm all for a challange. But this IS just STUPID. Now maybe stupidly hard missions are fun for a few people but the vast majorty don't like them. I'm all for challange but the whole party geting wiped in seconds is NOT fun or a challange its just STUPID.

oh i tried to do the razah quest....i need the gemstones...4 .....1 of each...from the big 30k xp quest...which is hard:P. Mabye i wont get razah:P.

From what I've heard it sounds like they got the name confused, DoA should mean Death on Arrival, not Domain of Anguish..

2 mobs...... going to try some weird stuff tomorrow, dmg is too insane to catch in any normal way.... tho party wide bonding made us last longer...

Agreed.

Made me laughing out loud ^^

Haven't stopped in yet, but remember when Tombs first opened. It took a while for people to figure out how to get through it. Stop expecting to blaze through this place within the first few hours. Nobody is that good. And it'll take a while before we all know what skills are necessary.

From how challenging it sounds, I might just wait for someone to post a decent build and then go with guildies. Don't really feel like wasting my time dying right now :/

Yes we tried B/p. Maybe it does work, but it didn't work for us lol. Well, I have to say, we got the furthest by using b/p. We managed to kill 2 and a half mobs. This place is really hard, I mean really hard. I still am gonna keep playing tonight so I can be among the first, that's always important lol.

Razah should have no prerequisites. No other hero in the game requires prerequisites. It's absolutely asinine.

Went in with a guild group, experienced people, nice round balanced build and went down in 15 secs. Does it really have to be this way?

tombs was difficult but not impposible, this is impposible! heh well not impposible just really hard well figure it out im currently on an 8 monk group heh, ill try anything once

...just.. no fun..

Thank you, ANet, for a wonderful, nasty, devilish challenge.

I'm just glad my first character thru the game was a Ranger. Now I have incentive to push my necro through as well...

i believe i'm not the only one thinking all of this is barely bulls**t, if you wished to be praised for pretending that, i guess all you barely deserve is about the opposite.

even players with above average "skills" can easily tell those places are at least as tough as previous elite missions Anet made before (i'd honestly say it's tougher actually).

even "hardcore" gamers spent a few weeks training together to get through some elite missions such as the deep with less people than required, so hell yeah, i firmly believe no one should have already got it done... with heroes only, which you're telling you did, barely a few hours after this content has been released.

L2lie kthxbye.
