Most Favorite/Least Favorite/Hardest/Easiest Missions *Slight Spoilers*

I wanted to take the opinion of everyone on this board on how they feel about the missions on Guild Wars and what their most favorite, least favorite, hardest, and easiest missions are, just to see what the average guild player has a hard time doing or is getting annoyed by a lot of the time. When you list your most fav/least fav/hardest/easiest, make sure you have a reason why, and I'll take a tally at the end to see what most people feel about the difficulty and enjoyability of the missions on Guild Wars. I'll start!

Most Favorite: Iron Mines of Moladune
I don't know why I like this mission so much. In my opinion, I thoroughly enjoyed being a Warrior and running 2/3 of the mission and watching ourselves get creamed by Markis and his Musaat crew with only one member surviving (usually the monk) and having miracles happen as you watch for one hour the monk trying watch the Mursaat get out of the way and be able to revive our nukers, healers, tanks, and lastly, trappers, to defeat the Jade Armors and Mursaat army. And for some odd reason, we forgot to infuse ourselves because one of our party members forgot to give the essence to the Seer. Good times. Good times.

Least Favorite: The Dragon Lair
It's a very long, boring mission. No challenges or difficulties whatsoever (the obstacles for each area was a complete joke) and it felt repetitive (although you could get some skill caps from the bosses). And to add to that, since this mission is really repetitive and long, getting to Glint is less than half the fun of doing that mission and since she's very hard, you'll have to endure the process of doing this mission over and over and over again.

Hardest: Thirsty River
I know many of you will say Elona's Reach, Thunderhead Keep, or Hell's Precipice, but I found this the hardest, mainly because I had someone run me Elona's Reach, had a great party who knew what they were doing in Thunderhead Keep, and Hell's Precipice isn't that hard if you know how to kill the titans and make sure the Undead Lich is in the caldera at all times. Thirsty River just made me angry at all my seven attempts to try to finish it. It's not that it was easy up until the end, but the monk boss just creamed us every single time, and that was even with a great party. I had to find an ultimate party to actually finish that mission (or at least defeat the monk boss).

Easiest: The Dragon Lair
As I stated before, it's repetitive and gets old quick, but if you don't want to pay a visit to Glint during that mission, you're pretty much setting up yourself for a free pass to Droknar's Forge, no strings attached. Seriously, I thought that they would put some super hard mission that will get people insane time after time, but with that mission, I found myself buying my 1.5K armor as quick as travelling from Iron Mines of Moladune to Granite Citadel. Piece of cake.

Favorite Mission: Thunderhead Keep
Catapults rock, defending a fortress I love. Many people hate it because it's hard, but I think it's rather easy and enjoyable.

Least Favorite Mission: Hell's Precipice
Hate it. First off, it was WAY, WAY too easy to be the final mission. Second, it was way too long and monotonous. I don't want to have to sit there pulling mobs of titans for 50 minutes, just to have some warrior/monk decide at the last minute that an entire party wipe sounds like fun

Hardest Mission: None
They were all really way too easy. It's just moron human players that make advancing a difficult task. You think a mission is hard? Hench it, and it becomes easier. Henchmen have double the IQ to average human player lingering around (especially in the idiot trap that is the Desert)

Easiest (relative to it's place in the storyline): The Dragon's Lair
I needed to cap skills and finish the mission every time I went. I had heard so many horror stories of human players that I henched it and no health bar dropped below 75% the entire time. I finished it in like 30 minutes.

Most Favorite: Thirsty River
I'll admit right up front, I seem to have a knack for getting into good, or at least solid groups for this one. 3 Characters ascended, and every one of them passed Thirsty on the first try. My last run was with a W/Me a few days ago, and our group was truly fearsome- we demolished the first enemy team and immediately move on against the second, wiping both out in under 4 minutes(3:52 I think it was). I was the only tank, and we only had one healer, but everyone else knew what to do and they simply tore down everyone in our path. That healer boss? PLOWED UNDER. Didn't even break stride. Not a single death that I can recall, either. Best ascension mission group I've ever had. So yeah, I kinda like Thirsty.

Least Favorite: Divinity Coast.
An old, long-time hate, just because trying to get the bonus with my first character gave me fits. Literally played through it dozens of times, often with groups that SPECIFICALLY wanted the bonus, and we'd always get ganked by bad luck with mobs killing the chosen before we could get to them. Stupid, annoying mission. Oh yeah, and I godamned hate that Eye of Janthir. And Hablion. What a prick.

Hardest: Elona Reach
Elona is the bane of my ascension existance. I've never been totally stonewalled by it to the point where I wanted to quit the game, but there's just something about that mission that makes people lose IQ points, I just know it. From guys that go afk 30 seconds in for the next 10 minutes, then promptly leeroy off into the nearest group of baddies while the rest of us are exploring elsewhere, to groups that suddenly forget how the hell to draw aggro mid-mission, I rarely see more mind-boggelingly random stupid behavior than what I see in Elona.

Easiest: Frost Gate
I dunno, I've just never had a problem with this one, or even the bonus really. You go, you do it, it ends, and that's it. Even some of my dumber groups have been able to pull through and complete it. Dragon's Lair is a good honorable mention though.

Favorite Mission: Thunderhead Keep
Hard and annoying, but out of it came a couple of the best, most coordinated PUGs I've been in.

Least Favorite Mission: The Frost Gate (I think)
It might have been a different map, but I remember one of the Northern Shiverpeak maps being exceptionally long and tedious.

Hardest Mission: Thunderhead Keep
Took me two days to get past this. Especially frustrating because minor lapses in coordination at the very end are what usually killed us.

Easiest Mission: The Dragon's Lair
Not much left that needs saying for this one.

Fav.
Riverside Province

A fun mission to completely solo.

Least Fav.
The Wilds

The bonus is hard here and every bad person simply must do the bonus so it's almost always better to run past unless you are at a decent level.

Hardest

Any mursaat mission as it requires a group of humans unless you have great patience and are a healer.

Easiest
Dunes

Does anyone ever lose here?

Fav:The one where Rurik dies. Was waiting for that upity bum to get an axe to the head. Royalty, really.

Least Fav: ATM its Bloodstone Fen. Not especially difficult, but everytime we get the Hablion some idiot Aggros everything and I end up having to Rez the whole team. Yes, thats nice you have the Rez spell, I don't care, Rebirth works better when I'm not trying to Aggro everyone again. Welcome to the bottom of the Rez list.

Hardest:Either Thunderhead Keep or Hells Precipace. The only two that snagged me up and had to repeat more then 2 or 3 times(barring D'Alessio Seaboard, but that was lag issues).

Easiest:Yeah, dunes. So easy. Oooo seige wurms, they hurt...kinda...

Favorite: To tell you the truth, I actually enjoyed the Sanctum Cay mission...I had many minutes of fun with my Healer Monk refusing to yield the Scepter of Orr to the Vizier ("no!! It's mine, my own...my precious") Then, when my party finally talks me into doing it: "thieveses! Filthy, tricksy thieveses!! We curses them! We hates them forever!"

Just as a sort-of rationalization...I was half-asleep, 3/4s of the way bored, and helping a Guildie. Afterwards...it made the whole mission worth it. =D

Least Favorite: Hell's Precipice. Easy if you want it to be. Hard if the idiots refuse to make it easy. Boring as hell if you do it properly...I mean, how fun is it to pull small groups of Titans time after time...? >_>

Hardest: Hrm...probably Thirsty River for me. Too many bad experiences with PUGs.

Easiest: The Gates of Kryta...I just never had a problem with this one.

Favorite: The Wilds. Challenging, not too long or short, the storyline takes a good twist (albeit predictable) during this mission. It's pretty straightforward, but I find it very enjoyable.

Least Favorite: The Ruins of Surmia. I like starting new characters, and I like helping guildies through lower levels, and I think I can safely say that Surmia is by far the longest, most boring mission in the game. The only interesting part is the very end, which takes up a good 5 minutes of a 40 minute mission. How it takes 40 minutes, I don't know! But I do know that this mission sucks.

Hardest: Thirsty River. Pretty fun, but very difficult to complete. It's kind of funny, though, how the first time I got through this mission, it was after a good 15 attempts with different groups. I got one together, and we did it flawlessly, and it suddenly felt terribly easy. Before that, though, it seemed like even a group of decent players just couldn't get through.

Easiest: The Dragon's Lair. I thought this one was pretty fun, but man, coming right out of Ascension and into this one? It's like having to chisel your way through a brick wall to advance, then suddenly having to chisel through a wall of butter.

favorite hmmmm that price would go to the borlis pass mission ooh good times soloing it

least favorite hmmm thats the nolani acadamy i did that one millions of times i hate it

hardest so far the hardest whas thunderhead keep (didnt finish it yet) because i only get noob teams that dont call and dont make strategys or its because im only lvl 19 there

easiest again the borlis pass mission.

Favorite: Riverside Province
Kind of hard to pick a favorite. But I rather enjoyed sneaking by 90% of the mobs in this mission. And sticking it to the White Mantle jerks.

Least Favorite: Anything with Devourers
No explanation needed.

Hardest: Thunderhead Keep
I'll pick this one because it requires having no idiots (which is rare). All the other missions I can get by with one idiot, but this one I need some intelligent players. Oh, and it's so very very long and boring trying to clear the dwarves and yawning inbetween 1-2 Mursaat mobs at the end. The end really drags on too long.

Easiest: Dragon's Lair
On my first time through the game after going through Elona Reach and Thirsty River I expected this mission to be some kind of super challenge. Seven henchmen and no deaths later I was quite disappointed.

Favorite: Riverside Province. I picked this mostly because it was one of the most satisfying bonus completions I had ever done. I had an excellent group. We assulted each tower, pulled aggro beautifully, and completed the mission and bonus without a single player death. Simply an outstanding accomplishment.

Least Favorite: The Wilds. This mission is so damn long and boring. Maybe it's just me, but it seems to be the longest time wise in the whole game. On my last character that went through there I had two groups quit on me half way through because they got lost... even with me pinging and drawing directions. Yes henchment really are better than half the players out there. :P

Hardest: Elona Reach. Yes I know this is an easy and obvious pick, but for me it's simply true. I always manage to find the stupidest groups for this mission... even when I form them myself. Players that seem to know what their doing just turn into idiots all the sudden when they see that timer pop up. Really folks... 30 minutes is MORE than enough time.

Easiest: You could easily pick any of the other 20 missions to put here. Hardly any outside of Elona, Thunderhead, and Hell's Precipice are actually hard. But I'll make an "outside the box" pick here and say... Thirsty River. When you get down to it, this mission is fairly mindless. Assault ONE team at a time, wait for rez timer, assault next team... rinse, lather, repeat. You don't even need the morale boost from the Sand Giants. That's just overkill.

I don't really have much love for any of the missions, I prefer quests a lot more. However,
-Frost Gate is kind of cool
-Hell hath no fury like a female * ranger trying to * finish Thirsty * River!

* = insert your fav. expletive here

Favourite: Aurora Glade, I just absolutely loved attuning the portal. Why arnt there more missions like this?

Worst: Thunderhead Keep, just so boring and easy holding the area for about 1/2 an hour while being attacked by 2 guys every 5 minutes.

Hardest: Abaddons Mouth, groups that dont know how to focus fire or to avoid aggroing enemies really make this one hard.

Easiest: Dragons Lair, a walk in the park compared to the missions before it. Only requires 3-4 people with 1/2 a brain for success.

Favourite: Abaddon's Mouth.
Those double-bosses can proof to be quite a challenge. I remember fighting Willa for like 30 minutes on some teams, until we finally brought her down. It's definitely not the hardest mission around, because if you're prepared, you can get her down in like 2 minutes - and I'm not even talking about Mesmer Power.

Least Favourite: Ruins of Surmia
I think that one is just awful. I always walked from Piken Square to Nolani Academy and skipped Surmia. Rurik is an annoying companion, and I hate having to listen to him. That said, I really love the setting of the end fight.

Hardest: Thirsty River
I agree on that one, simply because it's the only mission I ever failed on good teams. All other missions just require a decent team (that includes the three missions at the end), whereas this mission definitely requires a bit of luck.

Easiest: Dragon's Lair
Easy going, nothing else. Except the bonus, of course.


Some comments to the other missions:

Elona Reach:
Extremely easy - in my opinion, if you include the bonus - way easier than Dunes of Despair. I finished it with all (four) characters with henchies only (and that was before they added Lina). Everytime I help someone to do the mission, I feel like a tour guide, going on some sightseeing tour.

Thunderhead Keep.
Easy as well, although it depends more on the team. I failed this mission only once, shortly after release, because we didn't know about infuse then. After that, it was always pretty easy. Actually, I only found out about the bonus like 2 weeks ago. Before that, I always wondered what the point of the bonus is (because I always lit the beacons, and there didn't seem to be anything special).

Ring of Fire
That one can be pretty hard if people don't listen. And it's even harder, if someone insists on going the long way (never trust that Vizier, remember?)

Hell's Precipice
Almost as easy as Elona Reach. Henchies do a great job in concentrating fire (so those Sparks are dead pretty fast). If you're with a PUG, make sure someone takes winter, and things will go much faster.

Favourite: Hell's Precipice
Simply because on my third attempt 4 people from my group left halfway through leaving me (ranger) a warrior another ranger and a necro I believe, and we finished the entire mission so easily, I have to say killing the Undead Lich was the easiest boss battle of them all, simply because he sucks.

Least Favourite: Anything in Ascalon, Pre and Post
Walking around that infernal place just depreses me because of the amount of times I've done it all.

Hardest: Abaddon's Mouth
The amount of times I ran into that fortress and died is uncountable, that was until I managed to get a good team together.

Easiest: Anything in Ascalon
It's obvious as they're the first missions in the game, but I just don't see how its possible to fail any of them.

Hardest: Thunderhead Keep

Any mission with non-team players is hard but Thunderhead stands out because it's quite hard to do with henchmen compared to the other hard missions.

Easiest: Thirsty River

This mission isn't actually the easiest but relative to other peoples expectations and experiences I found it easy. As long as your team understands the 2 minute res system and you haven't got the standard 2 warrior 2 elementalist 2 monk party and bring a decent ranger or mesmer (even a decent axe warrior will do) this is one of the easiest late-game missions.

Favourite: Thunderhead Keep

Get a good team and this is the best mission in the game. Running back and forth wiping out mursaat while the catapaults are annihilating even more is great fun. It's tense but it a good way and it's great when the mursaat finally stop.

Least Favourite: Elona Reach

The mission itself isn't too bad but like plenty of people have pointed out it seems to be the biggest idiot magnet in the whole idiot trap that is the desert. Thankfully it's possible with henchmen though so not too hard to get done.

Favorite: gotta be Hell's Precipice. By the time you get there, most of the idiots have been weeded out by the stupid-filters that are the ascension and Thunderhead Keep (and to a degree, Ring of Fire). I've never had a bad PUG in Hell's Precipice. I've had some of the best groups I've ever been in during that mission. Plus, you get to see teamwork and coordination really shine there.

Least Favorite: Ruins of Surmia. OMG why is this mission so long? Not only that, but the bonus has you backtracking through half of the damn map. Very annoying and repetitive until the last part with the obelisks.

Hardest: Thunderhead Keep. There is a serious backlog of retards who have been stuck on that mission for days or even weeks. The more times they try and fail they more hostile they become, especially to monks. You almost are required to take henchmen, guildmates, or friends that you know are competant. PUGs will invariably fail more often than not.

Easiest: Borliss pass. I could probably solo it, but I haven't tried yet. I did breeze through with a 3 person party once though. Too easy.

NEW CATEGORY!
Most annoying: Dragon's Lair, in the last part with the facet of strength. Random, LONG knockdowns that only affect YOUR PARTY. Ugh that is so damn annoying. Almost as bad as masses of giant herders in south shiverpeak wilderness areas. But at least with giant herders, you know the knockdowns are coming. In Dragon's Lair, they're random... and did I mention long?

Favorite - Oh, I can't remember which mission it is, but it's the one where Rurik is killed in the final cutscene. Was it Frost Gate?

Least Favorite - Easily Ruins of Surmia. My goodness that's a long and boring mission.

Hardest - Thunderhead Keep. It took me so long to get a group, then we'd fail like a bajillion times. Ugh. That's the most stressful mission.

Easiest - The Great Northern Wall. lol.

Here's the tally so far: (For those who didn't specify and gave an overall description of what types of missions they are, gave me two answers, or gave me an answer that didn't follow the criteria, I didn't record them down)

At least, we are seeing the obvious, clear winners of the four catagories, but we've only had 17 posts (or 17 people), and even though 17 people replied, there are still hundereds, thousands of people who have even more different opinions. Let's keep going!

Favorite mission:
Elona's Reach. I was stuck there for about a week because i didnt get a good group but when i completed it I felt good the rest of the day.

Least favorite:
Thunderhead keep, maybe its fun with a good team but thats very very rare.

Hardest:
ooh wich should i pick: Elona or Thunderhead Keep. Got stuck with both for a while.

Easiest:
Dragons Lair. Its soooo boring, hey there is another group of monsters *yawn* lets see *yawn* if i can kill them soooonneeer then the last group of *yawn* monsters.

FAV: Iron Mines
Least Fav: dunes
Hardest: Gates of Kryta in the early beta's (by far)
easiest: dunes

Most Favorite: Tihard Orchard or Raisu Palace
Least Favorite: Jennur's Horde
Easiest: The Great Northen Wall
Hardest: Raisu Palace, hardest to get Masters that is.

Favorite: Raisu Palace

Least Favorite: Any of the Realm of Torment missions (ugly, hard and boring.)

Easiest: Fort Ranik

Hardest: Thunderhead Keep

Ooh another res sigged thread...

Favourite: Consulate Docks. Felt so very different from any I'd done in the past, frenetic without being irritating.

Least Fave: Vizunah Square. I hate this one so much my assassin is still parked in Kaineng, and will probably never leave. I got my ele through it with no probs but only because we had a good party on the other side.

Easiest: Chahbek Village. Hardly deserves the name 'mission'. In fact all the missions up to Tihark Orchard have been pretty tame. Also found Thunderhead Keep pretty easy, but that's cos we camped the King.

Hardest: Well, Aurora Glade gave me the most issues. But we were playing a two man + hench team with no rangers to cripple the runners.

Favorite: Ascension. (killing Doppleganger that is. it counts as a mission in tyria protector). It's quick and fun.
Least Fav. hell's precipice.
easiest: Ascension
hardest: Jenur's Horde. i knew exactly what i was doing, still couldn't get master's on my hero/hench team.

Favourite Mission - Thirsty River , its a hoot , me and the guildies have that one down pat , last time we ran it we cleaned the board no deaths and the monk boss was a joke Mesmer power is the key , one of our guildies rocks with his mesmer.

Least Favourite - Any of the Fire Chain Islands , Titans really annoy me and spending nearly a hour just to die at the end rubs me up the wrong way

Fav: Gates of Madness. Just because it felt good to kill Shiro and Lich. Especially as there was only 7 of us, we managed to cap all the God shrines with Shiro hassling us, and when we did turn our attention to THE Shiro. Impossible odds took out almost everyone, he reduced us to two. Me and a monk. Only thing left to do was to run around in a circle from him for 20 minutes whilst the monk rez'd our team. Shortly after we finished him off. Easy as.

Least Fave: Arborstone. Just a crap mission all round really

Easiest: Chakbek Village. Even Great Northern Wall had a boss that could be unkillable to some pugs. Serious.

Hardest: There arnt any really. THK at a stretch, but thats nothing with heros.

Favourite:
I don't have one, I enjoy most of them.
I love killing charr, Ruins of Surmia and Nolani Academi.
I like using the ballistas a Thunderhead Keep.

Least Favourite:
Arborstone. I keep yelling 'Do not stay in debris areas!!' but they keep camping there... sigh... that gives me the nerves. I don't mind a mission being more or less har as lng as you can actually do it, but I hate people ignoren all those symbols and alerts on screen, they are there for something.

Hardest?
I don't know... I have completed all of them... I think that I must say Domain of Madness. My specialty is dealing high amounts of damage and burning, and that is what Shiro needs to wipe out a team... :P So this is one of the few areas where I need to change my "PvE Eternal Fire" build for another, and I did so only for 3 of them, not including Elite missions.
I only find really annoying the times Bonuses and Masters.

Easiest:
Chackbeck village. You can do it just by walking to the oil pits, then using the flag to make Koss kill the rest.

This poor thread must be really disturbed by the cruel awakening its had after being dead sooo long

Fav - THK/Consulate Docks (was manic but fun)
Least Fav - Any Jungle mission (boring)
Easiest - Chackbeck Village (WTF?)
Hardest - swap that for most annoying..Frost Gate..spent hours wandering around lost when I finally got to the end I got slaughtered because henchies decided to agrro everything (this is back when I was a newb to the game)

Favorite: Riverside Province, I always like the way people had to sneak around in one method, or kill everything and have more of a possibilty of dieing, back then of course it was hard for me which increased my desire to play it over and over again.

Least Favorite: Thunderhead Keep, although the mission was fine, the people in it were always annoying, i was never able to use a real monk since i did it during the monk protest thing, so i had to grind with henchies which was very unpleasant and further told me that i had no interest in this mission.

Hardest: Gyala Hacthery, with henchies and only myself i wasn't able to keep the turles alive since i was a ritualist, my spirits died to often and the smoke canisters were to hard to carry three at a time so i only used one, i didn't do the usaly trick so i was stuck to healing the tutrles myself and often dping myself very badly.

Easiest: Great Northern Wall, with any speed booste possible i was able to run by the Charr and enemies, completing the mission wihtout much dmg on me.

Fav= Imperial Sanctum
least fav= Gate Of Maddness
hardest= Gate Of Maddness
easiest= Great Northen Wall

Favorite: Ruins of Surmia. *lol* I've helped scores of noobs with it and generally have a good time doing it. Though getting them not to aggro the Charr Fire Bearers can be hard sometimes. The whole "Wammo smash!!" thing.

Not Favorite: Tihark Orchard. Its so frigging tedious. You have to do 3 parts of the bonus just to get on with the mission. Grrr. I wish I could skip it. *sigh*

Hardest: Bloodstone Fen. I always get to the end and get owned by the White Mantle. They guard their Monks like maniacs.

Easiest: Nahpui Quarter. Once I knew what order to kill the Celestial's in it was easy.

favourite: thirsty river and raisu palace
least favourite: frost gate
hardest: unwaking waters
easiest: chackbek village

Favorite Mission:
Consulate Docks

Least Favorite Mission:
All Realm of Torment Missions

Hardest Mission:
Grand Court of Selbekh, Masters on that mission is near impossible..

Easiest Mission:
Cahbek Village

Favorite: THK like all you others, the fort defense just owns. =)
Least favorite: Many good ones have been named, but.... the Wilds, so many twists and turns, worse if you try for bonus
Easiest: Tihark Orchard, so fun too!
Hardest: By far, Dunes of Despair, BUT ONLY if you try bonus. Otherwise it's probably Abbadon's Mouth or Jennur's Horde (Especially w/ bonus)

Favourite Has to be Vizunah Square espicaly as a necro. So much fun to have all most unlitmed energy.

Least Favorite Mission and Hardest Grand Court of Selbekh

Easiest Mission Cahbek Village

Favorite: Sunjiang District. I love the Spear of Archie (so much that each time I pick it up I yell "I got the power!") and ViM trapping works wonders. It's also straightforwards, and if you have good aggro management it merely becomes a challenge of how well you can order your team/hench around.

Least Favorite: Vizunah Square. It's a huge turn off to anyone incoming from Elona or Tyria trying the Factions storyline - the first mission you access is half impossible due to the other team. Don't forget that level 14 assassin running around with Frenzy.

Easiest: Dunes of Despair. I don't believe I've ever had ANY trouble doing it before... the siege wurms aren't that bad. I mean, 90 damage compared to a 300+ siege turtle? It's nothing. The monsters come in like they're having a lesiurely stroll through Wal-Mart, so slow that a decent PuG can wipe them out.

Hardest: Raisu Palace. You've got this ticking time-bomb in your face, Emptyhead Kiss-You - I mean Emperor Kisu. It still amazes me how after a buttload of hard missions (Vizunah, Arborstone etc) and you still get the class-confused idiots in Raisu: 1)the "were timed aggro aggro rush rush kill mob frenzy leeeeeeeeroy gogogogo" Wammo, 2)the "My Curses is 12, Hammer warrior with SS LFG" guy, 3)the "heal my pet if u dont i leave" Ranger, 4)the "Pay Me 10k or I'm Out" monk, 5)the glyph-of-sacrifice Fireball flarespamming elementalist, 6)the mesmer who thinks he's an assassin "Me/A LFG! I have Twisting Fangs and Temple Strike!", 7)the MM with level 16 minions, 8)the SS with 9 in Curses, 9)the assassin whose aggro management is no better than the Wammo mentioned above and AoDs precisely into the fattest, juiciest, boss-heaviest mobs, 10)and the ritualist who uses firestorm. All of these I have met while I was dragging my poor ranger through the mission. Not to mention the ele boss who whacks off solid 200+ with his spells.. on a Ranger. Can't hench the mission, it's laggy too. I'm never doing this mission again.

Favourite: Consulate Docks. I like that warlike feel with all the tactics and such. How you must capture the forward wall and flank enemies etc.

Least Favourite: Ruins of Surmia. God I hate this mission. Whenever i've created a new prophecies character, I find it to be the most boring 30 minutes of my life doing this mission.

Easiest: Chahbek Village. This is the most simple mission I have ever encountered. Tihark Orchard comes close behind.

Hardest: Gate of Madness. Tried this 5 times with PUGs on the first time i got there and failed miserably each time. Tried it 4 times with henchmen and died all 4 times from Shiro's Impossible Odds. Still havn't passed it yet ...

Favorite: People will think I'm nuts...Gate of Madness. Reasoning is because it's the first mission in long time that makes you think.

Least Favorite: Naphui Quarter. Lets go left, lets go right. Lets not do this mission

Easiest: Great Northern Wall. It's meant for early characters. It better be easy. Also, ever bring a lvl 20 minion master to beat up the Charr? That's fun.

Hardest: Jennurs Horde. Getting someone other than myself to actually pick up the Light is amazing...especially when final boss needs 3 drops. I had a ritualist, not a sprinter.

Favourite: Aurora Glade. The first GW environment that required capping of some sort, this was great fun splitting up in order to stop the Mantle. A shame the bonus was so easy.

Least Favourite: Tannaki Temple. I needed to do this mission numerous times for the elite skills -- I hated doing it after the first time.

Hardest: Abbadon's Mouth. Hard when I first did it with Prophecies only skills, even harder when I returned mid-Factions to get the elite skill caps with only henchies. The frustration of how craptacular they were was aggravating.

Incidentally, can the people claiming that there were no hard missions drop the pompous pretentiousnous? You weren't pro the day you started playing the game, some mission would have had to be hard for you at some point. Drop the elitism.

Easiest: Tihark Orchard. I wish there were more solo missions!
