    Man screw the mustering allies quest in war of kryta. Blimm got himself killed right as we were getting to the gates of LA, and now I have to do the entire mission over? Including all the bullshit running around telling people to get to LA because there is a damn war on?
    How dare I not bring a super specialized escape build by reading a wiki article before hand to know that you have to run away the entire quest.

    Fuck you game.

    You should only have to redo the final run - I failed the same spot as well.

    Welcome to old school Guild Wars!

    I shared a similar joy after hitting the end of Slaver's Exile and realizing the build I had was in no way going to allow me to beat the boss.

    Or when I was vanquishing rotscale's zone and he was all, "Lol, fuck you I will kill you and your entire party before you can use a single skill once. Learn to wall clip, newb."

    What is this I don't even.

    LOL... Shadow Nexus. 1st run: I bring Norgu w/ every interrupt he can pack. He doesn't stop lightning once.
    2nd run: Mage spawns on head. Party dead instantly.

    I went back to beetletun and went outside, livia and the asura weren't there.

    Also there is a difference between an elite dungeon and an overworld plot quest. I wouldn't mind the mission had it reset at beetletun and let me continue from there, but I am not going to re-run that boring slog for the other guys again. I don't need the last few points in HoM that badly.

    Wait, what? It restarts a zone away from LA instead of at Beetle? Meh would be nice if there were some quest markers on this quest to indicate that. Maybe I will give it another shot tomorrow then.

    I told you in-game when you asked, it's at the last zone wall you crossed, inside toward LA.

    I think part of the problem is that War in Kryta is actually end-game content. The big plot events that they released, starting there and ending with Winds of Change, are actually the most recent content. I think they were also testing out having "end-game" content outside of a dungeon, which I think is neat.

    What is this I don't even.

    I require only 4 more minis thanks to some generous folks. I. We'd 2nd year heket and wind rider and a handful of 4th. All 3rd whites are done.

    I've got an average of 20k per mini to spend, whatever is leftover will be donated to those in pursuit of further points. If you see/have some I will pay what I can for them.

    The white ones, which represent the best value of minis to points.

    Next one should be "the 30/50 Compromise". I really do want that title at 40/50, but there is just no way for me to configure the 10 points I'd need to not just completely suck balls. I will just have to be content with 30/50.

    I'm pretty sure I can make 35, but the path to 45 that I've plotted myself is a long one, full of a lot of bullshit. Gonna give it the old college try, though.

    We need to get together another some more group events. Even if they're just helping Geod finish his vanquishes. :P

    Yeah I think I misunderstood you and thought you said I could restart it at beetletun, not temple of ages. But then got pissed when I couldn't so just logged for the night. I will give it another shot tonight. Yeah its cool having non-dungeon end game content, and some of this stuff has been fun. If I hadn't just spent like half an hour running around to do nothing but tell people "Yo dawg, wars on get to LA.", I probably wouldn't have minded having to restart so much. Or if they had given better warning in game that hey bring run skills lawl. Maybe I missed that warning?

    I just don't like it when content takes a radical shift from the norm that requires a radical change in abilities with no warning. I was expecting to have to fight my way there, not run benny hill style from hordes of jade armors. It just kind of ruins the experience when you are trying to do this epic story line quest detailing how LA avoided destruction, and then you fail the first time with no real chance of victory.

    But whatever, I will give it another shot and see how it goes.

    Yeah. They definitely learned this and aren't repeating it in GW2. It was sort of the design premise of GW1, though. Lots of missions require you to figure out their weak points and build to match.

    I'd like to thank whichever developer put in an ultra low chance for really rare mini's in the 7th year presents. I just sold another one for 35e plus a unded celestial dragon (gold). Should be able to wrap up 30/50 much sooner than I thought!

    That was like my first week playing and I had just hit 20 on my derv. Not only did I have no idea how to do anything in melee, but my skills were quite haphazard. And I tried to customize my build to "be more useful" in the dungeon when I had absolutely no idea what that would even involve.

    So I was useless even when I didn't die. The best part about the rez was drinking my alcohol again to get drunk.

    Oh and it was just rank 1 of survivor. I had 124k into what I think needs 140k? And I still havent made it past that mark either :O.

    Doesn't matter cause I am prolly gonna AFK up survivor for my 5th title.

    I still have 2 points to go to 30. I am so glad I bought my Vabbian armor before Eye of the North was a thing. I could actually go get myself 2 points in a stupid easy fashion. The only thing missing from my Fellowship monument is a black widow, and I could easily go buy an oppressor weapon (or, you know, actually finish War in Kryta).
