My Answer

Which Danger mission is my favorite so far and why?

Compound 69 for sure. The artwork is amazing in that mission, and the whole mission as a whole is pretty tough in my view compared to LOA or HOI only because the right gear is clearly needed for this mission. If you try to do it without proper shadow weapons, no poison or fire resistance you will most likely get owned.

Which has the best artwork?

Compound 69 and Atalanta's heart are tied for me on this I think three rings did a great job with both of these in terms of artwork I really love that shiny floor in Heart of ice for sure, but those tree's in Compound 69 are pretty snazzy.

Which Mission is the hardest?

I would have to go with Compound 69.

Which Mission is the easiest?

I think Heart of Ice would win this, but barely if you have a bad party for that mission it can turn into complete chaos.

Which boss is the coolest looking?

Maulos (Ice-Trojan) that dude looks badass. I think he can easily own Vanna in a fight by freezing him to death.

Which type of danger mission I'm looking forward to?

One which involves all the status remittances and monster types.

Heart of Ice

LoA is just a cluster eff of undead so close that it's hard not to get hit, but it's not too difficult. it's a challenge but kinda fun but it felt more like a mission than a danger mission.

C42 is just lag waiting to happen. I like what they did but it's too laggy for some computers and over all, i lagged to the point where i didn't enjoy it xD.

Heart of Ice was a difficult challenge that was more balanced and it is a great frost themed level. some levels felt a bit long, and the boss felt like it should be on the next level as opposed to one it was on and i could see it as part of the clockworks to face instead of vanaduke.

Interesting...

Heart of Ice is obviously the best mission. Knights hate and Devilites love Shadow and Freeze while handling fiends.'Puts to use the slightly used Skelly Suit, and you have a chance to meet a former co-worker in the end. Do you not love the beautifulscenery, the comforting snow, and the epic story we have to tell? If you have said yes to any of the above, here's a few free samples...

Artwork? Us of course.

Hardest Mission? Dangerous ones.

Easiest Mission? Material turn ins. We enjoy reimbursement of our lost materials.

Coolest Boss? Obviously, the most chilling is Maulos. He is made of ice- how can he not be cold?

New Danger Mission? Can we see the mechanization of monsters (example, Zombie > Retrode, Whelp > Scuttlebot), por favor? Shock would be nice. Oh, and Juances wants a Tortodrone. I'd like to see the big lug back. It'd make sense in this context...

Answering.

Which has the best artwork?

Heart of Ice. Bad@%# Maulos FTW.

Which Mission is the hardest?

A sudden tie! Compound 42 and Heart of Ice. Compound 42 was hard because I didn't have the right gear (I'm too eager) and the Toxoils just made it frustrating to deal with the slicks. One wrong move and boom, it all goes up in flames in your face. Heart of Ice is hard because of the #%&@ing Howlitizers that made it very hard. Too bad I could never be able to fight Maulos.

Which mission is the easiest?

...Legion of Almire. Divine Avenger murdered it. It also helps if you have a Shivermist and you don't anger the crusaders.

Which Boss is the coolest looking?

Maulos for sure.

What new type of danger missions do you think three rings should come up with?

One involving curse status enemies. Heck, it's no wonder nobody cares about it. Also, it should be as hard as compound 42. Also add shock status danger mission with same difficulty as Legion of Almire.

Which Danger mission is your

Which Danger mission is your favorite so far and why?

Easily Legion of Almire. No status gimmick, just you and the population of zombie murdertown.

Which has the best artwork?

Can't really say. If you're talking about the artwork in the mission preview, then definitely Heart of Ice.

Which Mission is the hardest?

If badly geared, Compound 42. If properly geared, at the moment, Heart of Ice, mostly due to lack of practice and that fiends suck. Compound 42 wins hardest award if you're not geared, due to the problem of "OH GODS ROOM ON FIRE" disease.

Which mission is the easiest?

If properly geared, Compound 42. If not, Legion of Almire. I suppose it's not exactly a fair question given that Legion of Almire has been out for a while, and so people have figured out tips/tricks. If properly geared though, Compound 42 is a joke, as the health of a lot of enemies is kinda scaled to be a LOT if you're poisoned.... so if you're immune to poison, they really don't have much health at all.

Which Boss is the coolest looking?

Maulos by a long shot.

What new type of danger missions do you think three rings should come up with?

Can't say. I'm not exactly the most creative mind in world, but I guess it'd be interesting to see something that uses multiple damage types rather than multiple status types, such as constructs + undead.

Heart of Ice aka Atalanta's real Heart

Which has the best artwork?
Heart of Ice

Which Mission is the hardest?
C42 definitely. Must learn how to dodge properly and shield at the right moments.

Which mission is the easiest?
Heart of Ice. Easiest from my point of view.

Which Boss is the coolest looking?
Maulos of course!

What new type of danger missions do you think three rings should come up with?
Maybe a bot styled danger mission with a big mecha styled boss. Would be a cool one if done properly, expecially the graphics.

Which Danger mission is my favorite so far and why?

C42. Easiest and most comfortable types of mobs.

Which has the best artwork?

HoI has a special feeling to it.

Which Mission is the hardest?

HoI. Definitely.

Which Mission is the easiest?

C42. LoA is extremely gunner-unfriendly, and HoI... I didn't get past the first room. :(

Which boss is the coolest looking?

Maulos. Trojans. <3

Which type of danger mission I'm looking forward to?

Tortodrone. Slooms. In the same mission. A mission that would be a dream of the knight actually, a dream of things that are long gone. That would be the best thing ever.

Yep

Which Danger mission is your favorite so far and why?

Ice Heart because ice levels are cool, despite lacking stuff as interesting as the other missions.

Which has the best artwork?

Ice Heart because ice props are cool.

Which Mission is the hardest?

Almire most likely.

Which mission is the easiest?

Either Ice Heart or C42.

Which Boss is the coolest looking?

The big trojan demon frozen guy. That fight is kind of lame though, I would give it less mobs and make the boss stronger.

What new type of danger missions do you think three rings should come up with?

More with unique enemies, and implement these enemies in random parts of the clockworks too.

I love heart of ice, but after reading the memos, I was rather surprised that Maulos himself didn't have any dialogue... This was the perfect opportunity for an over the top gloating bad guy.

How does one forego a subject line anyway

Which Danger mission is your favorite so far and why?

I like both Heart of Ice and Legion of Almire. I've only run Heart once, though, so it's a bit early to decide on it.

Which Mission is the hardest?
Compound has the fake difficulty so it wins this one.

Which mission is the easiest?
Legion by far. Polaris makes a complete and total joke out of this mission. I ran this once with a party using nothing but guns and we absolutely obliterated everything. If you bring a Blitz you'll also make Crusaders a non-issue.

Which Boss is the coolest looking?
The giant scorchers are kinda cheesy, so definitely Maulos.

What new type of danger missions do you think three rings should come up with?
Let's see that Tortodrone, it sounds like fun.

Ata > Eury

Nj you're just jelly that your Eury is giving you the cold shoulder and so you make fun of Ata. You should call the mission: "Eury's Treatment of Njthug: The Cold Shoulder". Atalanta has a heart of gold.

Stay golden Ata. Stay golden.

Which Mission is the hardest?
Compound 42.... I don't have another 5 star set of armor besides Chaos, sooooo.... x3

Which mission is the easiest?
Eh...um... I don't know. Our team revved quite a bit at HOI, but I revved a lot when the other 2 danger missions came out for the first, but eventually got better and didn't need to worry about revving. Hard to tell ATM since I have only did HOI once. But for now, I guess it's LOA.

Which Boss is the coolest looking?
Well LOA doesn't really have a boss. C42 is kinda cool. But HOI's Maulos was epic :3

What new type of danger missions do you think three rings should come up with?
Something with constructs. And tortodrone. Yeah.

I like turtles.

-Favourite: Heart of Ice
-Best Artwork? Heart of Ice, those icy paths and last room are just beautiful ;_;
-Hardest? Compound 42, gremlins and oilers had always annoyed me. Not that they're together AND they spread massive amounts of poison/fire/poisonous fire, I end up failing due to my rushing playstyle. Still a very fun mission though :P
-Easiest? Legion of Almire, this level is beyond easy since it's just a big graveyard.
-Coolest boss? Of course it'd have to be Arkus v2 at the end of Heart of Ice, not only does him being made of ice make him cool (lame pun is lame), but he is actually a boss. LoA had a tough last room, and C42 had oiler colonies and giant gremlins. None of those are really bosses.
-New danger missions? 1)Construct themed with Tortodrone at end.
2)Unleash the slooms! It is time for the sloom invasion (/e sits there hold on to Royal Jelly set.)

Which Mission is the hardest?
Compound 42. I AIN'T GOT NO PIERCE/ELEMENTAL POISON/FIRE RESIST.

Which mission is the easiest?
Heart of Ice. Bring blitz.

Which Boss is the coolest looking?
Maulos. There are only 2 bosses (legion of almire has 2 slag guards. Those don't count), Maulos and Herex and I find gremlins to be cute so Maulos wins here.

What new type of danger missions do you think three rings should come up with?
Candlestick keep, hardcore edition.

Best artwork: Heart of ice.

Hardest: C42. Only because it lags like hell.

Easiest: LoA. Shiv + Blitz takes care of everything

Best boss: Maulos is the coolest looking, but also the easiest. I mean, come on, 1 huge stationary target + Blitz charge = Win.

New mission? Lets add this with IMF. With lots and lots of shock and tortodrones >:)

Not just shock

a Shock + Stun combo would be deadly. (the stun could come from some noxious gas the robots release). Think about it. When you're shocked, you want to run away so you're safe when you spasm. But Stun will slow you down so you can't run from the monsters before you spasm.

Heart of Ice because it's a great map visually. It's the best scenery I've seen by far.

Other Questions About the Danger Missions:

Heart of Ice

Which Mission is the hardest?
Compound 42

Which mission is the easiest?
Legion of Almire(everyone attacks the almirian crusader before they awaken & know when they are going to awake if you walk close to them so they step back & lure them out one at a time). That's how I first learned to fight them when I first did LoA which was a little later after it came out. I guess only the last & second to last rooms on the second depth are where the hard parts are. Well, sometimes in the first depth, certain maps are really good/difficult.
Which Boss is the coolest looking?
Malito Maulos!

Heart of Ice. Fiends are always fun.

Heart of Ice again. I do love those trees in Compound 42 though.

Which Mission is the hardest?

Compound 42, mostly because of the intense amount of special effects lagging me.

Which mission is the easiest?

Legion of Almire. Almost pure shadow damage and almost no statuses to worry about.

Which Boss is the coolest looking?

Maulos.

What new type of danger missions do you think three rings should come up with?

Sleep-themed in some kind of ancient shrine of unknown origin. Gremlins have sent their sleep-immune constructs here to capture the Slooms to study their sleep-inducing ability and adapt it into a weapon against the Knights. Naturally, the Knights must stop the construct invasion while also dealing with the rudely awoken Slooms who have a nasty case of grouchiness. Knights must avoid a plethora of hazards along the way such as clouds of sleep-inducing mist and plenty of Indiana Jones-style traps. Guarding the depths of the shrine is the usually peaceful Tortodrone, who is attacked and enraged by a group of gremlin constructs. Tortodrone goes on a rampage and easily makes scrap metal of the mob, but then attacks the Knights who must defeat it. Afterwards, the Knights are free to loot the treasure room.

Okay that was more of a mini-fanfic than an idea, but I can dream, especially when there's all this stuff to put me to sleep. :P

All of them are pretty bad if your team doesn't know what it is doing, but I would say C42 is the worst (with LoA following with that last room...)

Heart of Ice; It's fast, beasts are easy, and lots of room so you can avoid/ isolate devilites.

Maulos~~~~~! (Runner up; Gremlin Incinerator)

By far C42.

Heart of ice.

C42, considering that I have fire+poison resists.

Which Boss is the coolest looking?
The giant oiler-toxilargo combo things in C42.

What new type of danger missions do you think three rings should come up with?
Given that they haven't made a construct one yet, and that I like to get beaten to shreds...

Types: construct + beast
Special elements: A new type of beast enemy; preferably raptors, as well as perhaps a hybrid construct-beast enemy.

This theme would force players to use normal weapons for maximum efficiency. Otherwise, they would end up hitting for one super effective damage and one not very effective damage. Level design should follow this, and be biased towards the use of area of effect attacks and bullet attacks; e.g. A large open area with a hole in the middle baring a gun puppy. This would force the player to use normal weapons to fight things; if people tried to bring dark briar barrage they would only effect the beasts while leaving the construct in tact. The new beast enemy is needed due to how few beasts there are out there.
