Factions : Worst Last Mission Ever

And to top it all off, I bought a Shield of the Lion for 5 platinum right before doing the mission. Then I saw the Exalted Aegis and slapped myself.

Credits were kind of cool, though.


(If you can't see, mission completion time is 1:31, lol.

gg, screenshot section stuff though.

Yeah it's a pretty lame mission, but is still cool in itself.

how is it the worst?

you got master's

I don't get how this makes the last mission in factions the worst ever.

Also 30/-5 shields are terrible.

I believe the term you're looking for is "terribad"

I think the OP is saying it is the worst becuase it is so, short and lame.

I think the end of a chapter/champain should be epic or at least take longer then 2 minutes. I know the first time I did that final mission, I got in a PUG and we did it in 1:12. I was almost sick when I found out that was the end of the game.

Even though the end of Prof was fairly easy at least it took some time to get to, and kill the final mob.

@OP NF ending is almost as short and lame as well. Don't get your hopes up for that one if you haven't done it yet.

I don`t know I thought killing Shiro was fun and after doing it the first time I just wanted to do it again. Nice and short I suppose like an arcade type of game thing, 50p a go, they could have made a nice profit with that one.

Biggest downfall was Nightfall, run in then run away rinse and repeat, why bother?

I'm glad Factions is short. Makes it much easier to get max guardian.

NF = whoo, kill the same creatures ten times each [exaggeration unless I was PuGging], run in, run out, get KD'd.

Proph = epic.

factions has been out for what a year and a half now? Can we please keep our complaints up to date >.>

And dont complain if you were dumb enough to pay 5k for a blue shield lol

I enjoyed killing Shiro I thought the length was good as well. It's amazing how many people are having trouble with him though, and Varesh as well, well... more people to make gold out of I suppose.

Actually, to tell ya the truth, the +30 health and damage reduction is probably the most useful shields for paragons and warriors to use due to a permanent boost on health and chance of damage reduction.

My first time through that mission was on my ritualist, with henchies. Not knowing what I was up against, I failed a few times at the beginning until during my testings of different hench combinations that would work, I got into a long fight with Shiro. With a bit of luck at the end, he died and it certainly was no master rewards for me. It was a very nice feeling getting into the Divine Path after that battle and my former guildmates said that was the time I sounded most excited about anything in Guild Wars.

Also I do prefer that they didn't put Shiro at the end of some long mission like the Lich in Prophecies. Offering challenge for the casual player without the frustration of having to walk long way back to him in case of failure.

Personally I like to carry +10 vs Piercing when pveing, but to be fair the -5(20%) isn't the worse mod ever, probably comes top five with the -2(stance) mod on a PVE warrior.

For me, Raisu=Last mission of Factions

The Shield of the Lion has +10 piercing. The Exalted Aegis isn't amazingly powerful, but I would have liked to keep my 5 platinum and have an Exalted Aegis for a while until I could save up for something better than both.


Oh well, I can always switch between the shields for different situations.


Also, as for my complaint, I never got around to beating Factions until now. Now to finish up Nightfall as well. Factions beats Prophecies for ending cinematic though, sailing into the sunset was so cliched I was about ready to puke.

You could always sell the Amulet of the Mists you get for 8-10k to make up for it...

Not after I already got the Exalted Aegis. D;

Having both could be useful in certain situations though.

hmm this mission..? sums up what i feel A.net did to faction : Rushed to make a game not even half decent as proph and to rob us $50 of our hard earn money.

despite being the last "mission" imperial sanctum was just a showdown with shiro. Shiro and only Shiro, unlike in Prophecies where the boss showdown was included in the "plot foiling" fight with the boss's minions. I admit they could have made it longer and more interesting by doing the "stages" kind of boss with shiro. get him to x% health and he moves to a new area and does something new and more deadly. Anet seems to be a fan of the one area slugfest showdowns though (look at Abbadon).
