For those complaining about noobs, a bit of an English lesson: this quote says nothing about when the decision was made. It can be read to mean that they knew from the start it would be challenging and so decided they would give people a bit more time to do it before adding another (the past tense of "wanted" does not specify how far in the past the decision was made). The portion "as a lot of people found" is a prepositional phrase defining the phrase "Yesterday's quest was challenging," (stating when the player base found out what the designers already anticipated - that the quest was challenging -> "masters") and has no bearing on the tense or timing of the main clause.

I don't recall them ever telling us they were going to be daily quests - that was assumed by the player base.

Frankly, I don't think the decision has a lot to do with who can or can not complete it as much as they are trying to fill a week with only 4 quests and hoped this one would be challenging enough to keep us busy for 2 days instead of one. And maybe it is. I have 3 chars I have not done the quests on. Maybe I'll go ahead and run them to ToA and finish these two while I wait for the next one to come out.

It doesnt say anywhere in that quote that they aren't consecutive. They can be one day after another after another without there being one every day of the event.

No complaints here. I still have seven characters to run through this (several of which never did quest one either).

They're just trying to spread the content over the course of the event, nothing wrong with that. I just hope there isn't another break or the last quest might come out on monday. Then again, they might just release two quests on saturday or something...who knows?

I cant wait to see what Green weapons Duhnn will drop, probably some QQ cup offhand called the Tear Catcher or something

electrolust · Oct 28, 2009, 07:59 PM // 19:59

do you have to finish one quest to get the next one?

Wheel of time · Oct 28, 2009, 08:01 PM // 20:01

yes you have to, but the quests are available for the whole event, so you can do q1 on the last day if you wish

yup gotta finish them 1 by 1 doesnt matter how fast but they disappear after the event ends

electrolust · Oct 28, 2009, 08:03 PM // 20:03

Hmm, okay. Just having lots of trouble with quest number two. Was kinda hoping you could skip some.

Nor does it say that they would be consecutive.

meanwhile at Lion Arch...

Seems like so many eager souls waiting for the next quest to live

But they do say they are a series of quests.

Anyway, I found that there was something lacking from yesterday's quest - A NEW SKILL!!!

I've uploaded a video to YouTube in 3 parts for anyone still having trouble with the Don't Fear the Reapers quest. Part 1 is Labyrinth, Vale, Mountains, and Planes, in that order. Part 2 begins and ends in the Bone Pits in case you just have trouble there. Part 3 runs from the entrance to Bone Pits to Spawning, back to Wastes, and done. Links below:

Don't Fear the Reaper: Part 1 7:48

Don't Fear the Reaper: Part 2 - Bone Pits 3:24

Don't Fear the Reaper: Part 3 9:01

Turn off annotations if you don't want to see tips, and watch in high quality if you can. Good luck to all. I'll probably repeat the quest on more characters since there is not a new one yet.

Not giving players the third quest today doesn't give players more time to complete the second quest. It just gives players less time to complete the third and fourth quests.

Would be better if for the duration of skill 4, the bgm gets replaced with http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2c4L4CPfQY8

You don't seem to get my point, people are using the "They wont be daily" quote as proof that they can't release the quests one after another when thats incorrect seeing as they could release them the day after the previous one and it still wouldn't be daily.

This is true. I'm glad I'm not the only one who realizes that.

I agree. I see the quest as a version of the old Thunderhead Keep. A place to weed out the less successful but then once again you get enough people QQing about it and they change or extend it as was the case here. I mean there was still 5 days to complete this quest now we are down one day to complete the new one. I am hoping the next quests are more similar to the first quest short and sweet. A nice team quest would be cool as well.

You're wrong there cowgirl, i've just said it.
Any way it's gonna be nerfed, it's not gonna be used as much as now.
