Prepare for Counterattack - Also known as prepare to afk for 10 minutes since the mission takes forever.

Spider Overload - This was just boring, and getting swarmed by spiders as a Sword Fiona who can't DPS them all wasn't much fun.

Hunter at the Ruins - This boss was always exceedingly boring for me, even more then most other archer bosses.

Hidden - Great grinding spot, yes. But I feel this is a reason why a lot of 61+ players can't play their character properly.

Nightmare at the Ruins - I'm just tired of it from how much AP grinding I did.

Weeping Queen - Never any parties for me to practice with, so I hate how she's the one high level raid I'm unfamiliar with.

Those are the main ones.

This. Prepare to do it 50 times for a title. I think I calculated it as taking 10 hours due to all that waiting time. Better bring your Gameboy.

Gnoll King, Ruler of the Ruins. Long, boring and makes you wait. And when itÂ´s been trolling me with the "kill everwhite with small bombs" bonus mission. I succeeded once, but instantly after I got message "Battle Quest ended because of server overload" -_- and after that Everwhite has refused to spawn, I ge those stupid toads EVERY.SINGLE.TIME.

The Evil One. All you need is a couple people not knowing what they're doing and you're screwed for the whole raid. :(

None right now - I am only up to Ainle at this moment, and I'm having tons of fun by just playing the Quests :skip:

I have no clue what you guys mean.

Maybe it is because I did that with a friend; that way I always have fun.

But I never remember having to AFK for any period of time :what:

You can kill the boss in about 5 seconds when you're Lv. 61+ going back for dailies or title grinding. The boss spawn timers run about 8 minutes total. So you play for about 10 seconds, then have to wait 1-3 minutes for the next boss to spawn (which also dies in 10 seconds). Repeat until complete.

It's pretty boring to have to go back and do it. Dailies especially.

I end up spawning the bosses, hiding in the initial hall until all bosses spawn (while I run off to do something else), and just run in and kill all 5 bosses at the same time. It's the only thing the mission is good for.

The timers were meant for Lv. 2Xs anyways, not 6Xs. It's just the problem with having to redo early game content, it gets boring, and the fact you can't speed it up no matter what you do makes it really annoying.

I dislike those missions

Especially Lionotus! I'd like to fight him for the heart=money but problems with PUGs I've been in:
1. A couple parties don't have a plan and just do whatever or only try to bomb him off the cliff. When the party only relies on bombs, you need people to aggro him to the edge and people on the other side ready to aim the bombs. I've been in one or two parties where this was successful because they knew what to do and had high attk for good DPS.
2. The perfect plan for Lionotus is the 3 floor plan but some hosts don't do it. Or just trans/rg lock him if you have a full Evie party :point:
3. Most of the Fiona's don't sit aggro at the top of the cliff so I end up doing it as an Evie and falling to the ground inside mana ember and wasting time going back up. (But I could try Lion as a scythe and just blink away when I aggro :what:)

I know I could just avoid doing PUGs and run it with my guild but they haven't done guild raids lately. And I've been in a couple PUGs where it was very successful, about 13 min runs. I joined a 6 man party once, very awsm because everyone knew what to do :thumb: I guess you just have to get lucky with the PUGs.

Hidden.

After HOURS(6) of grinding from 0% at lvl 69 to lvl 70, I'm so sick of that dungeon. I can't even bring myself to solo it on my fiona except maybe 4-5 runs at a time. It's too much x.x;

The sewers. Mainly because it lags so much... otherwise they would be pretty fun.

Well, to be completely honest, I did it solo on my spear Lann (he was level 26) and still had to wait 2+ minutes per boss spawn. The timers are just enormous.

HAHA you have no idea how much I end up in this situation. It's really annoying, but it's unfortunately the most effective solution when people don't really know what they're doing. I really need to look for a guild sometime ;__; I did a Colru run with foreignreign and his guild one time and it was probably the safest run I've ever done, although not quite the fastest (but I placed poorly in damage, so this is kind of my fault).
