I personally just love this idea. Whoever of the live team came up with it, hats off to you. Why is it so awesome then?

For a people like me who has done about everything in the game @ pve-side and login every now and then, these quests offer new challenges each day. I think it is absolutely great that I can login to game when I have nothing else to do and check out what game has to offer me that day.

If I have understood correctly, there is indeed 3 quest limit per gategory but even then, the quests do stay in the log as long as I abandon them or complete them. Therefore I have all the time in the world to complete the particular quest. I may complete it the same day the quest is offered or alternatively weeks later. Still I can check those quests every day and abandon the old one if new quest seems more appealing.

So this gives people definitely something to do if they are on the mood for it. What's best, this somewhat unites player base. During last two years I have had an impression that everybody prefers doing things H/H. Now I can see people forming again and maybe making new friends with who they can tackle these new quests on a daily basis.

I also like to point out that while rewards seem indeed low (at least for 7,5k coin requirement for biggest wep pack), you shouldn't forget that while doing quests, you get all the drops and also some extra gold from quest rewards. Not to mention all those title points you receive at the same time and also the possibility to complete the hand books for more rewards.


tl;dr: I find these quests to be definately a highlight in helping to keep gw alive and kicking. Optional challenges which change on daily basis are absolutely great add to the game and also help keeping player base tuned in. So thank you.

I was amused when I went to Blacktide Den earlier to do the mission with one of my friends and it dumped me into district 2. I've never been in a mission outpost before that had a district 2. It was awesome how full that place was.

I whizzed around and collected all three quests. then I checked.

...

After a lot of screaming and a bit of a lie down, my trembling fingers managed to abandon the "win three ranked GvG matches" they cunningly sneaked in there.

Don't scare me like that, ANet - PvP is a terrible place full of scary people. Just keep the hordes of fuzzy monsters coming, k?

Yeh thats what i like. There seems to be parties forming. Although ive still done them all H/H i'd feel more enclined to join a group for harder quests.

7500 coins roughly...ive done the molotov quest quickly on 9 character that 9*7 = 630.
I didn't consider that quest to be too much grind to be honest over 9 characters. I know alot of people have quite a few characters too...

judging by my calculations it shouldn't take as long as iexpected to get that large bag. Plus we don't know how much ecah quest is going to other until the day...

I've saved the AB quest for my 9 characters when i can really be bothered to AB lol...a nice bonus

I will love it too, just Fix it.
1. Ability to move zcoins between characters
2. You can do Your 3 qeusts ONCE PER DAY FOR WHOLE ACCOUNT
3. Due to the 2. slighty increase rewards
4. Due to 3, balance them with currect economy.

Indeed, people has started to team up again. I managed to do Deep today, it was just nm, but still. We didnt even use a specific build, it felt like a bit in early days when people teamed up together to have fun and it didnt matter what build you had. Now I have the Kanaxxai statue on my new ele aswell.

Just when one tries to finally retire, Anet has to come up with something to attract his attention and get him to play the game again... whole update was pure win, and made me want to play again >< as well as some mates of me who "retired" along with me

*sigh*

Only problem I have is people who farmed that GvG quest, I know of at least 2 people that kept remaking pvp chars and winning gvgs for 9k faction + coins ... :S

This happens to pve qeusts and pve people with 5-10 characters ready to go everywhere. They have advantage over "normal" players. Thats why it should be limited per account.
