Talk:Haiju Lagoon (mission)

From Guild Wars Wiki

Started off this article with the info that I had. As people finish this mission could you expand upon it? Thanks!

This took our team 2 hours to finish....and at the end we got 50 victory tokens. What a let down. I expected something more for what I considered a hard mission. ---White wasabi 14:07, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

It would be nice to see how many people actually beat this mission. I found it impossible to complete. Giggling White 15:49, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

The article said average time to complete this mission is 30 minutes??!?!? what's the secret?!? Barinthus 00:21, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

it takes 30 minutes knowing where the popups are using a monk, a paragon and 2 searing flames eles... however the reward is stupidly low compared to amount of effort... kinda sad they've kept same stuff as last year and didnt even improve anything... failfailfail

You really have to ask yourself, just what were they thinking when they came up with this mission!? I've only been playing now for less then a month (N00b! N00b!) and thought I'd give this a try, and have a little fun. After all, it is the first mission given. How hard could it be?

Deadly Hard!

I took my fifth-level Assassin and three third-level Hench-persons...and we were all dead within a minute of hitting the beach. I can see now that this was designed for four human heros, but what the h*ll would you need to defeat Pairs of Level 26--28 Foes.

So please excuse my snivel, but this was not fun and I though that was the point of this Festival (and this Game). I'll go now.

• To be fair, this mission is intended for lvl 20 human players who have probably already been in high-level areas and fought against groups of 3+ foes lvls 24+. Realistically, however, the effort required to do this usually yields max gold items, rare crafting materials, and/or greens whereas this gave you 50 victory tokens, which was not at all worth the effort.Rebirthofdragon 13:24, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

From what I can tell, this mission was designed for an 8 man team of level 20's, NOT a 4-man group of beginning players! I took my level 20 elementalist with a solid build, coupled with three heroes, each with runes, green items for their builds, and good, hardy builds, which I may add I have been fighting through Hard Mode dungeons and vanquishes with. All level 20. This mission is still ridiculously hard, for a fun event mission. To this I add that at one point we're supposed to lead a group of four players against a group of TEN level 24+ enemies, with the Fingers of Chaos skill, that destroys most build in seconds, coupled with a few elementalists in their group that do ridiculous amounts of fire damage. The only way I can see of doing this is with a bunch of Ursans. Great job again, Anet.

There is no group of 10 enemies to fight. The biggest group I found contained only 4 or 5 enemies; however, there were a few patrols and quite a lot of popups, so I can see why you found yourself overwhelmed. The mission isn't too difficult if you assume a popup group will appear at any given moment and pull visible groups carefully. I completed it relatively easily on my dervish with 3 necro heroes (MM, N/Rt healer and SS, though next time I try it I think I'll bring an ele instead of the SS.)--Mme.

Did the same as above and completed with only 1 near wipe*due to lag hit me at the worst possible time*. Still for how annoying all these missions are, the reward isn't worth it. I'd rather do Dragon Arena for my tokens and I hate that place.--Masato 19:43, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

Consider these first two missions practice. The rest can be completed 3-5 times per window and give more tokens per completion. --24.179.151.252 19:48, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
