Not sure if its me but most if not all your post have been about tweaking the game to stupid lengths and your saying not to listen to the negative posts, sorry but this far late in the game nearly all have done these titan quest and most not all have enjoyed it in one way or another

But seriously the GW live team have more pressing issues to content with, so this idea is bad for them to even consider it; but hey don't belive me post this little suggestion on there own forum.......

Its not like taking a quest from glint beating a few titans up and oh SHOULD I get a 1silver Z-coin and 1k for doing it NO! you have just been award a ton of exp and had the pleasure of doing said quest. Because it was us who helped to release the titans in the 1st place.....

What makes me wonder is why are we still discussing this when the simple answer from nearly all the GW players will be a dumb founding NO!

Point 1: How is it going to affect you if your goal is just for fun and challenge? Like I said, if you don't want the reward, throw it away after.

Point 2: Just a few Titans? I think you never pay attention the quest text.

Quote:

"Titan Lord Evirso Sectus and his army are amassing numbers out in Mineral Springs. We expect that as soon as the army is big enough they will attempt to overtake Droknar's Forge. Break through the ranks of titans to find the Lord and the rest of his underlings. Killing the Lord would put a huge dent in the titan force and convince the rest of them to retreat."

"You're a sight for sore eyes, I've seen few of the living outside the walls of the city in the past few days. We have just recently secured the main gate though the cost to the Lionguard has been great. I haven't been able to spare any troops to investigate the situation at the settlement, I'd suggest you go find Captain Greywind out there immediately and see if they are safe."

"Thank the gods, it's you! We were out scavenging for goods when a massive beast crossed our path, we lost many settlers to it before we managed to escape. The creature seems to have found more of its kind and they are not far behind."

"Quickly, we haven't a moment to spare! Denravi has been overrun by Titans, and its citizens are in need of immediate aid. You must help them before this... plague... overcomes them and spreads to the rest of Tyria!"

"Though many followed Prince Rurik in his quest to secure a better future for the people of Ascalon, there are those who remained behind. Despite the Charr threat, they could not bring themselves to leave the soil on which they had been born. Now, they are in grave danger. Ascalon's great walls and soldiers have withered in Rurik's absence. An old king dons his armor, heavy with time, to fight a battle he cannot win. It is his will alone that keeps Ascalon alive. Now it is up to you to make sure he too stays alive. Hurry to the Frontier Gate!"

"Thank the gods you've come! King Adelbern is in desperate need of aid, and though I'd give my sword arm to fight beside him now, I am sworn to stay here and protect our citizens. The king has managed to push back those demon creatures from the Wall, but now he and a handful of soldiers are surrounded.

The king's valor may have earned him a blessing from Balthazar in his youth, but he is no longer a young man. Lend a hand to our brave old king and save our people!"

The Titans are attacking almost the whole Tyria. Almost all the major factions(except the Charr), all the major cities were in danger and require help. Sure it may not be as serious as the primary campaign bosses' threat, but safe to say it's more important, saved more lives than at least 90% of the secondary quests. Even MOX' quest give you 10k and stones. It's a lot less important from the view of lore, easier and cost less time.

But not all people are trying to do that.

Again if you just want fun, throw the reward after your turn in the quest, how is it going to hurt your fun?
Where did I say ever quest have to reward us a lot? These are elite quests(compare to all the prophecies quests) after you beat the campaign.

Dewshine Wildclaw · Oct 06, 2011, 07:12 PM // 19:12

Ok so you do have a point... sorta... But forget the zaishen coins... non of that please. Some gold? Well why not.... just a small symbolic reward to go with. 1k or something.
So I suppose I can /sign for adding a bit of gold for them.

However it is not overly important, most people can live without as these few pages seem to show. Should it happen, I would not be complaining really.

loopysnoopy · Oct 06, 2011, 07:31 PM // 19:31

A few titans to me is like 100's of em to you but 1 I enjoyed doing that on 25 toons only 5 of them was prophices born rest from factions and kama

Also I can't see how GW live crew can reinstate reward for a quest which was done yonks ago

yes I agree to the point but not now so late in the game look towards the rest of gw life; gw beyond not the past

If you just want lots of rewards for doing easy quests, don't bother doing the titan quests, as nobody is forcing you to do them. May I recommend visiting Cantha, as they throw lots of rewards at you for doing trivial quests there.

If the quest doesn't "have to reward us a lot", why do the quest rewards for the titan quests have to be increased? Besides, the elite status of these quests is already reflected in the fact that they have better xp rewards than other prophecies quests. If you want to have more goodies for killing the titans, do the hard mode versions of them.

No, I want to let the quest to have reward that match its difficulty and time, just like Prophecies got its own green added.

Because it's a elite quest chain compare to most of the quests(especially the Prophecies ones), it should have something other than XP. XP got not much use compare to money in GW. Unless you are working on skill hunter of survivor it, these XP are pretty useless.

High experience, special items and excessive gold amounts as rewards have spoiled people from what rewards used to be. Fun then is a chore now.

If a reward for something isn't worth it, don't do it. Don't try to weasel a way around things so you will do it. That's being greedy.

Concise Description: Anyone who would sign for this... are spoiled.

Again, how is it gonna hurt people's fun? If you don't want the reward, don't keep it.

The thing is what about the people who want the exp but can't cos they changed the quest to you recieve 1k exp 500gold and a shiny weapon that to me is a worse reward then the 50k exp

So keep the XP reward, or you can make a choice between these stuff, it's not a big deal.

Yol · Oct 07, 2011, 02:22 PM // 14:22

Your sole argument for raising the quest rewards for the titan quests in normal mode is that you say they are hard quests and should be rewarded accordingly.

However.....

1 - titan quests in normal mode aren't hard, even with henchmen. If you're finding them tough, look at your own character's build first.

2 - the rewards you are asking for are those currently given for the hard mode versions of the quests, so are you suggesting that the hard mode quest versions should have their rewards increased as well?

3 - if the rewards for the titan quests in normal mode don't match your expectations based on what you see for other quests, why aren't you arguing for the rewards for other quests to be reduced? That would achieve the same result for you (consistency of rewards for quest difficulty), those that play the game for fun can still play the game for fun, and everyone will be happy?

1-They are more difficult than most of the prophecies quests. Most of the WoC quests are not more difficult than them but got much better reward. Many EotN quests also gives you 1k.

2-No, it's ok for now, near 40k and 5 gold coins.

3-Because most of these quests' reward fit their difficulty and more people will go against reduce reward.

What you're saying OP is that quests added in 2005(!) need to have their rewards increased to scale according to difficulty with quests added in 2011. What many, myself included, are trying to tell you is that reward-creep has gotten very out of hand (see: WoC). It doesn't need to be made worse by retroactively adding in rewards when the progression through the NM versions is already required and incentivized by the very generous rewards in their HM counterparts.

So what you are saying is that you want to be able to choose your own reward ie one not set by GW crew so you want an option system introduced.

Like: option 1: 50k exp, option 2: 1k 500 exp, option 3: 100 exp and 5 silver z-coins.

Don't you think that would be stupid to say the least and pretty much take forever to code into the game as it would require all new dialouge

Again leave the old quests alone there has been too many high reward's from nightfall,factions and WiK,WoC,Eotn we do not need to spoil prophs that would ruin the best thing about GW.

As the option system would get winers going why isnt it in all of the game so on soforth

So what? Prophecies came out in 2005 but Anet still added end game green in 2008.

Yes but also the people who completed prophs before that time could not receive the green weapon or have we forgot about that?

Katastroff · Oct 08, 2011, 06:47 PM // 18:47

Just for the fun of it, i went with a friend to do the NM version of the Defend Droknar's Forge quest, it was fun and was like a walk in the park.

Once done we rezoned, and when at it again in HM ( i have the HM one active, he's got the NM one)
With the same all around HM team i use on a regular base, we were licked, slapped and mailed home with no return adress.

There are WAY much more titans in HM, they are lvl 36-40 with attributes according to their lvl.

Of all the quest i've done, both version have the best reward i've seen and getting some Zcoin for the HM version goes according to the difficulty lvl on the quest.

If you dont like the rewards as they are now, just move on to some other stuff.

You want those Z coins? Breeze trought the NM version then have a go on the HM version and enjoy the pain.

Uhm... I finished prophesies before the green weapons were added, when I later did the last mission with some friends I got the green. So people should be able to get them I believe.

What's your point?

So, you would say the same thing to people who want green after beat Prophecies before Anet added those greens?
