Ever since the Z-Quests had their hiccup and updated an additional time during patch day, we are getting missions that have been there before, although there are plenty of missions that had not been selected before.

Did the servers loose track of what has been done before and put those missions back into a random rotation? Have the missions simply been depleted and we get random reruns now? What's your take?

Teysar kitait · Jun 13, 2009, 04:23 PM // 16:23

well since we've so far had repeats and not a mixture of new ones, i'm thinking there's a rough schedule and that's just been reset with the update *Shrug* i'm just guessing though and i'm a tech noob ^.^

ShadowsRequiem · Jun 13, 2009, 04:25 PM // 16:25

I think this happened due to the fact they put urgoz as the bounty then quickly took it off and replaced it with an older bounty.

Maybe they'll fix it soon

MagmaRed · Jun 13, 2009, 04:54 PM // 16:54

Not sure if there is a problem, or what it is if there is one, but I don't like it. I had hoped all missions would be covered before being repeated. With the insanely large number of bosses available for the bounty, I don't see why they should be repeated already. I believe it is a bug in the system, as the update changing the z-bounties was not noted, and not expected.

I don't expect Anet to tell us what happened either

Found this in the Game Bugs Forum:

We're aware of this and looking into it.

Inevitably, they will repeat eventually. However, to have them repeat so soon is pretty stupid really, seeing as how we are still far from halfway, I guess?

Marverick · Jun 13, 2009, 08:27 PM // 20:27

We are definitely more than halfway, I'd guess around 3/4.

Having one mission a day where there are actually a bunch of people playing it is making it alot easier to get legendary guardian. No more having to annoy my guildies/alliance for help. Atleast, that's why I care. Most people who want it already have said title though.

It's not only the missions that are repeating, the bounties are the same as well. I don't check the pvp ones as i am not "elite" enough lol

aoeclald · Jun 13, 2009, 10:53 PM // 22:53

It is a bug as mentioned before, and shouldn't be happening.

ajc2123 · Jun 13, 2009, 10:55 PM // 22:55

Luckily I can't see anyone profiting off of this bug except for the fact they got two z quest changes in one day, and I don't think thats big enough gain in copper z coins to be worried too much.

Granted I'm a bit sad no new missions are up yet, but im glad this wasn't a 'omg I can profit off of this a lot im going to exploit it!' bug.

HuntMaster Avatar · Jun 13, 2009, 11:15 PM // 23:15

Considering we need something like 125,000 copper coins total to get 50 gold coins, I welcome repeats. Those elite missions/dungeons are so freaking hard and trying to do them in hardmode. lol. Most of us can't even hope to win those zquests, so we dont even take them.

Disclaimer: My math might be off as I didn't really work it out and its the weekend so I'm so far from sober I'm suprised I'm not talking to my computer.

Dzjudz · Jun 14, 2009, 02:04 AM // 02:04

I don't welcome the repeats, I was going for legendary guardian, but it'll take longer now

It's Linsey's fault :P

I apologize for the inconvenience, but don't worry, those same quests will all come up again eventually. Since the issue would go away after half a day, I didn't feel it was necessary to put the team through the whole emergency build process just for this. Again, I'm sorry about all the confusion it has caused, I hope you all forgive me. =/ - Linsey talk 21:43, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

Yeah because doing a mission in HM is impossible without Z-Quest amirite? The 1,5k gold and 100 coins are really worth waiting for.

Because doing a mission in HM with lots of people is impossible? Well, maybe not impossible, but certainly very difficult most of the time for most of the missions, yes. And going for legendary guardian one mission a day while also earning a nice zaishencoin bonus is a great way to do it. I don't feel like spending a lot of time getting a party to do a difficult HM mission when chances are that that mission will be the z-mission the next day and there will be 3 or more districts full of people wanting to do HM.

Ozab · Jun 15, 2009, 04:55 PM // 16:55

As Linsey's post said on the Wiki, they accidentally reshuffled the zquests.

There are 25 tyrian missions, 13 factions missions, 20 nightfall missions, and 11 eotn missions, for a total of 69. Before the reshuffle 50 missions of the 69 had been available as zquests. The current shuffle would have ended on or about June 30th.

With the reshuffle it will be another 69 days til all missions will be guaranteed to have come up. Which means a complete set of missions will not be guaranteed to have come up until about August 18th.

I had been doing my guardian and master of the north titles as zmissions came up, it helped lessen the grind a bit. This reshuffle has pushed my guaranteed mission completion date out by up to 50 days.

To sum up, the reshuffle has impacted my enjoyment of the game, and I'd appreciate it if something was done to fix it. One fix would be to manually modifying the current shuffle to put any missions that haven't yet been available at patch time at the front of the list.

Z-Quests massively increase the number of people doing any given mission, making it much easier to find a group (or be run, if applicable)...
