[The Flameseeker Prophecies] 4/11/13
Itinerant, no guild.
For some reason I never got around to finishing the Personal Story, and figure I should probably do it now. I’ve leveled and geared two characters, world completion, leveled all crafts to 400 and even done the Legendary quest and a bunch of WvW – I’m kind of running out of things to do.
Is Arah Story mode fun, and how long does it take? Any other dungeons that are really good, especially particular paths? I’ve done a bunch of CoF, AC, CM and FotM but not the others – any recommendations?
Thanks! If Arah Story is boring I might just skip it and go back to WvW or try GW1, but I figure I should at least complete the game’s narrative.
Well, depends on your definition of fun… but I think it’s pretty cool (except the final part). Takes around 40 minutes in an average PUG I’d say…
40 min on an average PUG? Either there have been real improvements in the PUGs (or massive nerfs in Arah) since the last time I did the storymode, but I’d plan at least with an hour. Probably even a bit more.
As far as the fun is concerned … I did not have a lot there. For the great, final fight against an almighty dragon, the whole instance (and especially the boss fight) just sucks.
Thanks guys/gals.
Any other paths in other dungeons that are particularly good? I always thought TA looked fun, maybe some of the others as well (HotW?).
Arah explore is fun. Punishing, but fun. Lupi is a great boss.
TA is a lot of fun as long as you’re either doing it with friends who are communicating or a PUG that is communicating/knows what they’re doing. If not, then you’ll just end up dying a lot and hating the dungeon.
Arah story mode is perfectly fine too literally until the final boss which just leaves you thinking “…eh?” after all the build up in the personal story.
Thanks guys/gals.

TA story is fun, except if your party wipes and have to run for 5 minutes because there’s like only 1 waypoint…
HotW is okay, but kinda long. It’s got a few OK fights, but don’t see it as particularly interesting. In explorable, path 1 is kinda fun, but I would avoid the other 2 paths unless you enjoy underwater bosses that take 15 minutes to kill.
if you’re looking for story then do story, if you want money and fun, do exp. There’s really no point in doing story modes except to unlock exp and for arah, to finish personal story. Easily the most fun dungeon is arah. You will hate it until you learn lupi, then you will love it.
