GW Update : Grenths Footprint

[mike_w]

I tried henchies for a quest in Sorrow's Furnace (the one with the Priest) and promptly found out it wasn't henchie friendly. Started doing the slave one for a bit, did one quest (making a drink cold!) - I think I'll go back to that sometime.

I done that full set of slave quests, took me approximately an hour and a half to do all of it to completion, really enjoyed doing it, quite amusing some of the things the dwarves say. Managed to do it all with the henchies also, think the reason I can do it with them is that I have done alot of the game with the hench so know what to expect from them. Cold one quest is really amuzing I have to say, kill the Dredge and lure the Frost Golems into the crusher to get ice then add it to his drink !

Fire Djin was quite nasty, attacks on the bridge and does loads of damage, also constantly heals itself, kinda reminds me of the Lich. Still, managed to massacre it !

Few more screenies from inside Sorrows Furnace, theres an indoor area that is like an underground forest and temple, it looks absolutely beautiful, you see it when going to one of the slave masters quests. Take a look :

Heres the temple leading into the wooded area, waterfall has to be seen to be believed :



Looking out from the steps down into wooded area :



Finally the exterior of the temple (directly above the steps) Best shot I could get of it :

Still need to get the last 2 quests done in Sorrows Furnace from the guy in the entrance to Grenths Footprint (Orozar and Alkan the Priest) Alkan you have to be in an all human team as you have to split the group in 2, half to get the crystal and half to guard priest. I managed to get 3 of the crystals last night with a hench team but on the 4th one I couldnt get back in time to keep him alive unfortunately (hence splitting group in 2).

Is it just me or is it really hard getting into groups at Grenths Footprint. No one seems to want to really do the quests, just go farming ?

[Geist]

those shoots look amazing

Iv done up to the frost gate atm all with henchys. the few times iv grouped with ppl have been total disasters and a complete waste of time.

[Ferral]

Dont get me wrong, I've been in some excellent groups of people where we have pulled hard missions off pretty easily.

It just seems to be difficult full stop to get into groups at the War Camp, I spent 30 mins the other night just asking to join groups and not one invite was sent my way.

Those shots are pretty cool I must admit, came out really well. Not bad for my system :

Athlon XP Barton Core 2500+ (333 FSB)
1Gb Crucial 333 Mhz Ram (THink thats PC 2700)
XFX Geforce 6600 GT 128 Mb AGP

Everything at stock and running the game in 1024x768, AA and AF is off, it doesnt look as jaggy on the straight edges ingame when you are playing though, think its because its so hectic at the best of times so you just dont notice !
