In short, EOTN has many of the same mobs as Prophecies. So splitting up the areas and adding vanguard rep to kill charr in HM or Norn for shiverpeaks vanquishes would just diversify the game and simply put, make it better. And unlocking the skills would still need EoTN, which would make a good incentive for those who have prophecies but not EOTN to buy it if their ranks are getting high.

As much as I'd love to see Vanguard bounties in Ascalon, Deldrimor/Norn in The Shiverpeaks and Sorrow's Furnace and Asura in Maguuma, I seriously doubt it'll ever happen.

RedStar · Jan 31, 2011, 06:02 PM // 18:02

Charrs, Centaurs, Stone Summits and Wind Riders are the only enemies I can think of right now that are similar to both campaigns.
And even then, the builds aren't the same.

There's really no real reason for this to happen.

(This thread should be in Saderlac)

Though not all the mobs are similar, the areas are. And I dont see what would be wrong with this, it would only make a more interesting game. And you dont even need to add it as bounties, you could simply add them to the reward algorithm for finishing a vanquish instead.

How would it make a more "interesting game"..?

so that you dont have to vanquish 54 areas and get less than 1000 exp and gold at the end of each?

would need a convincing lore tie-in, which would require a lot of work

Yep, this would just be a complete rape of the tyrian lore.. The game dates from 2005 (2004 if you count Beta) and it would be a big middle finger towards the period of creation..

Also, people without Eotn could have max titles from Eotn? Makes no sense..

i agree with bright star how can you have a max title from eotn without the eotn game itself

Lore is generally in the background with updates, but really where is the sense of getting Norn/Asura reputation for fighting in lands where Norn/Asura aren't even present.
And in Ascalon not every zones are populated with Charr.

There are better ways to make an almost 6 year old game more interesting than adding random rewards for unrelated events.

LifeInfusion · Feb 01, 2011, 12:28 AM // 00:28

I don't get it. It makes no sense to add EoTN reputation to a zone not even in EoTN.

i'd /signed if it would be "after completed eotn storyline with that char"

well, thats all i can say, first eotn, then the rep points, wont hurt the lore at all, if you think so, then think again, an elonian char being able to see SPOILERrurikSPOILERaliveSPOILER, so why not like that?

ps. although i would like to see proph having its own rep titles and pve only skills like eotn has (old idea i have for several years)

There are plenty of tools available to reduce the "grind" needed to max any of the EotN Rep titles.

Shayne Hawke · Feb 01, 2011, 04:34 AM // 04:34

I don't see the point for this. This would allow players with Prophecies and without the expansion to progress in a title that does absolutely nothing for them. Players that already have access to the expansion have adequate means for progressing in these titles.

Eragon Zarroc · Feb 01, 2011, 04:51 AM // 04:51

Prophecies is not EotN. you should not be able to achieve EotN titles in places other than EotN.

Hmmm....and while we're at it, Lightbringer rep in the Crystal Desert!
