SF....First Impressions

First impression? A big thumbs up. Insofar as the new areas are concerned I just have the one complaint.

I tooled up at Camp Rancour, having decided this was the place from which to travel, and after a couple of false starts due to an insano warrior hell bent on running all the way, we arrived at Grenths Footprint. Met this dwarf that gave us an improbably big quest to undetake and made a start.

Here is the complaint. Yes the mobs are bigger and seem to be more aggressive but it takes SO DAMN LONG to get anywhere!
I am not complaining really, it is just that the devs clearly had in mind those people with no life nor family commitments. It takes a LONG time....we are talking FoW with a really good group, you know? Before you know it its two hours later and your wife has left you!

THEN I find out there is a town (The Warcamp) and it is probably closer from the Citadel!!!

OK....summary. It is a great upgrade of the explorable areas but do NOT expect to just dip in and out on a casual basis. It will require a LARGE investment of your time to do it justice.

The only reason I am here NOW is that I had the dreaded "error 7" dump me out. Now I have to go to work!!

Enjoy dudes!

well i arrived in SF ... and this is pure BS !!!!

always the same boring crappy dwarfs again and again... and its impossible with henches, u got to split up ur party to cover him from patrols while doing quests !!

Result: obvious rip and directly back to Granite Citadel, no respawn points...

Grenth's Footprint, is a stupd area w/o a damn use to it...golems, dwarfs, golem etc... this is useless

I suggest you take a nice stroll to the little War Camp. You'd probably be very pleased to see an outpost out there. And henching in the Footprint is actually fairly easy. One mob at a time. Try working on that. As far as it all being useless? I suggest you take a look at the available XP and high quality drops. If you still think that way, stay out of there...

First impression, I got annoyed with the lagging but it was still worth it Two more missions for SF.

Well Grenth IS easy...give it a try with henches in SF..u wont go far ...

I've done quite a few quests in the Furnace, with henchmen... Anything else?

How do u cover the Priest? ^^
U have the magic button that orders henches to stay back ?

Heh... well there's the only quest I've failed so far. I'm gonna take a healing spell with my warrior and pay attention to him this time

u ll have to go far from the priest...and ofc, patrols will spawn when u r far from him..
U cant stay, kill any patrols around then do the quest ..
