I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post this, or if I posted in the right forum.
Regarding the mission:
Vizunah Square (Foreign Quarter)
How many people beat this mission already?
I've tried it with henchies, but it seems like its impossible.
I've tried it with humans, the best I can do is reach the second "fun" part.
Those who beat it, got any advice to share?
Thank you.

well, for my group, we get one mm and one ss..then the mish is like a breeze..well, with occasional death of course..but not too serious nevertheless..enjoy..=D
zerulus
i did it twice and the second time used two mm to keep 20 minions up and we blew threw the mission without a death and got the expert thing (factions equivalent of a bonus i guess), gives extra exp and another skill point.

where is this place at?

Since nobody accepts warriors, me and another one teamed up and beat the mission with henchies :P. Offense is the best defense. I used Ward againt Melee for the henchies, Shields Up though, but the rest into full damage dealing. I can tell you, no Prophecies mission was THAT exciting.

I'm not sure how many others have experienced this, but I went into this mission with a full group of 8 people, and we started at Mhenlo, like I expected. However, there was another group that contained people and henches that started around Master Togo. I went back later in an attempt to re-create this with no luck. Does anyone know how it gets decided whether you go with your group alone, or if you get a second group joining you at Togo?

Was fun i must say kinda like the flood in halo they just kept coming and coming.
I went as a Echo SS covered with Reckless Haste - just tore through them.

I just did this mission....Killed EVERYTHING on this map. And we waited, and waited...and waited.......mhenlo and togo just sitting there, doing nothing. Anyone else have this problem?

In all 3 tries I did, Togo had a team of his own (Confessor Gai, Su, Panaku, Sister Tai or whoshewas etc), helps somewhat if they stay alive. 
Permasiel
It bugged for us the first *3* times we tried it, as neither Menhlo nor Togo were following us.
When we did not skip the cinematic, and thus let them talk to each other, it worked perfectly.

Happened the exact same to me too. We managed to lure Mhenlo right to the ending gate, but master Togo did not move an inch. Very frustrating.

i admit that the mish is quite buggy..seems that there is a lot of bugs in GW:F..=.="

They really need to fix this mission. 3 times I've had Mhenlo and Togo just sit there! The first time we had killed everything not realizing that Mhenlo and Togo were still at the first spot staring at their own shoes...

Yep, 3. I've completed the first mission you get as a new factions toon and because I had done all the secondary quests I was a level 12 Ass. fighting level 8's. Rocked through the mission, and at the end got a Standard, Expert and Master "sword" looked like >|< (best I can do with ASCII)
I suspect it's to do with time taken to do the mission - interesting twist to the original game.

Did 2nd mainland mission perfectly without [anyone] dying at all with henchies, took some 50 minutes and just got 1 sword... So now we get to yell at AFKers and brb guys that they are ruining the chances for speed bonuses?
Not to mention [unguilded, casual] perfectinists who will have to look days for a group to do the mission quickly
I'd rather have 'perfect' swords for completing the mission without anyone dying etc, rushing the mission is kinda silly idea...

This happened to us three times last night.
From what I can deduce is if the mhenlo team rush down the slope and get to the cut screen before all the mobs on the slope are killed the mission bugs.
Basically, if after the first cut screen you don't get the onscreen dialogue between togo and mhenlo then they will not move with you further into the mission and it is bugged.
We finally got through by warning the togo team to keep him alive while we worked our way down the slope killing the mobs and then joined them with mhenlo along side us.

NOw I get why I saw a 9th men joining... he is the second team... and thats why togo died before even reaching the first group of assasins: he was all alone and screwed us up...
So there are actually 2 parties in this mission, thats a nice twist, guess not many ppl reaced the local quarter mission, because I never saw a party remaining...
Oww and that healer hench is screwed up pretty bad... no healing comming out of that with only sig of dev and no DF
SO TO ALL THAT SAY THE MISSION IS IMPOSSIBLE: it is when you dont have a proper second party... to all who say its easy... you just where lucky. Can somebody that did the "local quarter" side of the mission share his/her xp with this mission?

Tried mission with hench, and they just run away from me and togo and let the mob kill us all (they ran off to find the second party as it came in)
Got on a team with 3 lvl 14 assassins healer hench nec and 2 rit and managed to complete it.
42 minutes only 1 sword... at least it is done, will go back when they iron the bugs out and i am bored.. maybe

I just managed to do this - we had nice, balanced team with e.g. me as ranger spamming Barrage and 2 necros spamming wells. The Canthan team consisted of only one Ritualist and 7 henchies, but she kept everyone alive until we got there! Pretty nice feat.
After that the mission was annoyingly long and the hordes of enemies ridiculous, but we passed anyway.

No matter what I do I can't do this mission, When the someone doesn't trigger the bug people leave or die so quickly it just isn't funny, and when they trigger the bug they tend to be skilled fighters. And i've never ran into anyone but all henchies for the second group.
I haven't had factions a day and knowing that they is more of this ahead makes me want to uninstall the game right now.

Tried last night, all I was getting was massive lag, complete jerkovision. Will try later. Must admit while I was playing all i seemed to do was hit 'c' then 'space' and the occasional cyclone axe..
Karmakin
I tried 4 times today, no success each time.
First time, Mehnlo bugged.
Second time, henchies were the local team, they died on the second wave, and was killed on the third.
Third time, Mehnlo bugged differently (He spawned in the middle of a huge group on the first wave and was killed almost instantly)
Fourth time, local henchie team was killed during first wave, didn't stand a chance for the second wave.

*Continues the bashing*
I just tried this one. Went in with henches, and started at Togo. Soon enough the other team joined in. We cleared this entire map! Nothing happened.... I'm really getting tired of the Factions bugs. Maybe I'll just go to UW until they're fixed. >.>
edit: Ohh, and if you do this mission, DO NOT bring EoE. Some guy on my other team did, and he must be blind or something cause he didn't notice we took damage when enemies died. I now officially hate EoE....

This is one akward mission. I just tried with humans for the first time (attempted with henchies first) and hardly anyone responded to my calls (I was the only one calling) and in the first big fight (where they are coming at you from all angles) everyone died within like 2 minutes
Urias Skult
Factions bugs FTW!
I just had a great PUG then, we killed all the mobs in the 3 main areas pretty comfortably, but alas, Mhenlo and Togo just stood in their spawn points....
Soo frustrating....
One piece of advice though, a Wells Necro exceeds in this mission. I was able to keep 5+ wells up the whole time due to things dying constantly!

I feel pretty bad with this mission. It's already hard to find a good group with random people in a normal mission, but now you also rely on another random group. The first time I tried, I didnt know there were two teams fighting together. I went with henchies then. The first team left/didnt show up/whatever: I never saw them. I managed to reach Togo with Mehnlo alive and kill all the mobs till the "fun part" where I was outnumbered I died.
Then I realized there are two teams. Going with henchies may be good is you're alone, but objectively having real players is better and for the sake of the other team, I didn't want to go again with henchies. So I joined a group. We carefully moved towards Togo. Half way, everybody died. The other team hadnt understood they had to keep Togo alive. 3rd atttempt then. The other team: 1 guy with 7 henchies. Togo dies again. I managed to complete it next attempt.
I really think if we MUST have two teams, ANET should mod the code so a team full of real players cannot be pitted with a team full of henchies unless there are no other team available. Factions would be really boring if all the missions were like this. There is some fun, but stuff need to be fixed.

Finally gave in on repetitive quests and took my beloved Ranger there last night. After half an hour of spamming LFG (me and about 8 other Rangers), I gave up and started a B/P group.
Was a bit worried after reading all the issues people had, but we ripped through it - took 24 minutes.
The other team were saying things like "wtf is going on - how can they do this so quick" and "Yay for B/P" as we basically carried them through. Had none of the problems people have described with npc's not talking to each other.
Was a total blast - we had no deaths on our team at all and I think only 1 on the other team. Makes me realise why I play Ranger so much

First day of Factions me and a bunch of Level 12-16's in the local quater did the mission, Breezed through keeping togo alive and lo and behold a team full of uber good koreans comes running down, Safe to say even though my team had alot of deaths (Flesh of My Flesh is great for battle ressing btw.) it went by quite easily.

I can't get past this foreign or local quarter. Too many chances of either bug, bad PUG, bad other PUG, just dying. Almost had it with henchies, but they don't have stamina. Ugh...need a break!
LiQuId StEeL
I've done it twice with PUGs already.
- Monk x2, Fire Ele x3, Useless Mending War x3 (I was boon, and the other monk was heal). No "local" team
- Damage War x2 (me and a guildie), 1x Hench Monk, Well Necro, MM, 2x Barrage Rangers, Fire ele
Neither one had a local team, and I've never had a problem beating it... once I gave up doing me + 7 henchies.

First attempt, my team did fine, the other team, quickly build up DP, finally whipping right before the last fight of the mission. Why did they die? Because the second team was 7 henchies lead by a lvl 12 sin, who was wearing starter armor.

One way to make sure that Togo stays alive is to just run to Togo and ignore everything there, the cutscene warps everyone over.

QFT...this entire mission hinges on getting a decent team on both sides...before i finally beat it, i had a run of three tries in a row where the other team let Togo die before we could get to them...
