Post Your Most Annoyed quests:

Mine has to be "Blood And Smoke"
The reason is that your have to go all the way to the falls to talk to dark oak, do back to Ventari's Reguge, then go to the dark Oak Again..

That's definitely an annoying one, although my vote goes for: "The Last Hog" in Kryta where you have to painfully maneuver that stupid pig all the way back to the Ascalon settlement, whilst stopping to fight ettins, and then afterwords trying to figure out where the little porker went off to.

It's not a long quest, it's not a difficult quest: but damn It's annoying. Too bad it usually gives good skills as quest reward, or i'd forget it altogether.

broodijzer · Mar 06, 2006, 09:16 PM // 21:16

yeah that quest sucked. I've never done it, but a guildie needed help with it. took us much longer than I expected, if I'd know that I would have done dropping eaves first, hadn't done that yet, now I have blood and smoke active while I've done the quest

cities of ascalon sucks too, especially the ruins of surmia part. without prince rurik it would've been so much easier.. now you have to kill everything.

any mission that has a cut scene that people wont skip...either that or any of the ascention quests that you have to listen to the ghostly 3 pack a day smoker speak...does the swinging arm girl in the free ipod ad abouve count?

VGJustice · Mar 06, 2006, 09:21 PM // 21:21

^ That's just annoying people.

I vote for "Last Hog". Middle of nowhere, pretty good rewards, and really annoying mob spawns. I'm so glad I figured out how to get that pig to go where I want him to.

dr1zz one · Mar 06, 2006, 09:23 PM // 21:23

You can get the hearts before you go talk to the oak. But, i agree, that was an annoying quest.

Villany of Galrath.
Bonus for Dunes of Despair.

SilentAssassin · Mar 06, 2006, 09:24 PM // 21:24

blood and smoke !! all the way, that was so stupid needing to kill a same place 3 times, bah

Cherno · Mar 06, 2006, 09:24 PM // 21:24

Blood and Smoke isn't bad at all.... If you kill the guy on the way down. You can easily do that if you take the path to the left, and then when you get down to talk to the druid you will already have the item.

Most annoying is probably the Helping the Dwarves. You have to go and get the guy, and go back. Then zone and kill the boss and get the plans. And go back. Then zone again and go torch the towers, and go back.

I kind of like doing the pig quest. I am a good wrangler, and as long as you just have one person doing it, and you don't run into Ettins, it is pretty easy.

Mysterious Message is another annoying one because it seems like it never ends.

Duke's Daughter can be very frustrating because sometimes she spawns on that platform behind that huge mass of charr.

Pre searing quest with Devona to wipe out those grawl across the bridge always winds up with a death for me because Devona goes into A.D.D mode and decides to either not attack and admire her hammer or starts attacking random scale along the side.

i love the last hog quest. i do it 5 or 6 times a day. i never accept the reward but i do the quest.

aB- · Mar 06, 2006, 09:30 PM // 21:30

Agreed with helping the dwarves. I never actually complete those quests which offer so little exp.

Fantus · Mar 06, 2006, 09:33 PM // 21:33

Blood and Smoke and the Shiverpeak Mines triple quest

Lowly Peasant · Mar 06, 2006, 09:33 PM // 21:33

I can't stand Helping the Dwarves, maybe if the damn guy wasn't on the other side of the portal so that you didn't have to kill the same mobs every time you have to go back.

Skuld · Mar 06, 2006, 09:51 PM // 21:51

Familly ties, a lot of work for no reward -_-

So people who haven't seen the cutscenes should skip it so you aren't inconvienced? Sounds a bit selfish imo

Teklord · Mar 06, 2006, 10:00 PM // 22:00

Wow.. guess people like lazy short quests or something. Most of the ones mentioned here are the nice long ones that actually take some time to complete. Personally I'd like to see more Villiany of Galrath type of quests. The longer the better, it's nice that it actually takes some time and coordination to do. As for Helping the Dwarves when you have to re-zone multiple times... again, at least it takes some time and you actually have to do something to earn the reward. Personally I woudn't mind it if each subsequent time the spawn points changed randomly, and insert a few random bosses. But guess that's just me.

Yeah, people that complain about "People won't skip the cutscene.. I've seen it thousands of times" - now that's annoying. Again to clarify, that's the people complaining about the people that want to watch the cutscenes.

thor hammerbane · Mar 06, 2006, 10:14 PM // 22:14

Blood and Smoke, Althea's Ashes, Helping the Dwarves...those are my top 3, but mind you i dont do ashes anymore, i buy them for like 50 gold...but back when i did that quest, man i had 60 dp before we finished

MalVeauX · Mar 06, 2006, 10:16 PM // 22:16

The most annoying quests ever, are the ones where you just have to talk to some fool in some town. Being in town is more annoying than being outside, questing, with all the "LFG! FARM! WTS! WTB!" and the sheer number of people I see.

Of course, I'm a bit sour

Cheers!

Manda Panda · Mar 06, 2006, 10:17 PM // 22:17

I don't like blood and smoke. It's so long, and I usually like to do longer quests with people rather than henchies, but it's harder to find a group for it than for other long quests (e.g. galrath) so I end up henching it anyway, and its boring.

But the award for most annoying quest has to go to the last hog. It's so aggravating and stupid I've never actually bothered to finish it. It's easier and quicker just to farm gold to buy the skills than to herd that damn pig.

Numa Pompilius · Mar 06, 2006, 10:17 PM // 22:17

Red Cloaked Deserters. Even the blood and smoke quests are positively enjoyable in contrast.

Altheas Ashes is even fun. Or used to be, before ANet nerfed it and lowered the number of charr and increased the distance between the charr groups.
