I agree, and this is mostly why I signed.

Also, DNKP and LDD are particularly difficult (Defend Denravi and The Titan Source really aren't that difficult) because of the party limits that plague early-game areas. The party limit of 6 in Kryta, and only 4 of those slots are yourself and heroes, the rest are level 12 henchmen who are really just 200hp meat shields, since they really can't do anything against Titans, and Ascalon only has a party size of 4, and with Hero AI the way it is, it just makes it all the more difficult.

I know I could try to find a group with real people, but with the infinitesimal amount of people doing these quests, it would take about 2 hours to set up, and then the possibility of one person being stupid and over-aggroing or something is very high.

I was never able to do these quests back in the day, purely because finding a willing group was so hard. Since then I haven't bothered. Hopefully something like this would motivate more people to start groups and (finally) save Tyria.

HoM statue isn't important and the quests are easily soloable, are they even worth a statue?

/meh, I don't care about just another HoM statue, and would rather not see it without the quests seeing some changes...

Right now they aren't worth doing at all, they don't count for anything and rewards are nonexistant. Instead, a character finishing them is put into a disadvantage of not being able to ever enter their specific maps with titan spawns, which can be used for farming.

/notsigned. First off, they're not repeatable quests, while all the other hom statues are for repeatable quests/areas. What happens for the people who did them already? Second, they're pretty easy (I h/hd them) Thirdly, there's not even a hom statue for slavers exile, which is arguably an elite area, not a series of quests.

I won't use the argument of difficulty. The reason no one does them is simple: no decent reward. "Yay! I saved Tyria! What do I get? 50k xp? ZOMGWTF???" I'd at least suggest an end chest for Titan Source. Maybe make the difficulty higher and make the chest like Heart of the Shiverpeaks.

^ ^ which is why I argue for raising the difficulty level. It was tough when all you had were Prophecies skills level 8 henchies. You had to do it with others. Now all you need is Sway, or any heroes, really, with PvE skills and others from other chapters, and you can run through it.

They can be tweaked a bit, use separated instances, be for parties of 8, have one unique set of weapons (Titan) that drop only there, etc...

I'm still a bit disappointed on how easy where the lat 3 Titan bosses. Getting past all those charr was harder than killing them.

one of the few things that need statues:
statue for doin tombs
statue for finishing titan sourse
statue for finishing all discoveries in BMP
statue for collecting all polymock pieces

It's a SHAME not being able to get to those areas with different spawns again.

They should have been repeatable and start as mini-missions, being teleported there after talking to Glint, and coming back to Droknar's Forge after finishing.

QFT.

Though, I think it would be more contextual if it was added as a text block in the first window, like the campaign completions are.

As long as it works retroactively.

Good idea, I don't see why not.
