I don't know about the rest of the forum members here but I find that I don't really have time to play during the week. Starting on Friday night, early Saturday morning, Saturday night, and early Sunday morning are the only time I can dedicate some time to playing GW. As such, I am hoping that Anet can extend the number of Zaishen quests that each character can have from 3 to 5 so that I don't have to abandon some quests just to get others. What does everyone else think?

Oh gosh yes!
Or unlimited even!

I am currently sitting on 3 bounties because the rewards are just too good to give up.
1,250k Vanguard points?
Hell yeah!
750 Lightbringer?
Ohh baby!

And Rotscalle.
It's Rotscalle!
(This guy will be the first one to get dumped if something cuter comes along.)



The problem of course is the fact that I am currently playing my para pretty much exclusively and he's completely new. Which means I barely have any places unlocked on him. So even when I want to do the quests (because I don't bother with crap that I am not interested in - which also means that I don't stock up on quests just because they are there!) - I simply am not able to do them because I can't reach the destination!

Too bad you can't stack up same bounties anymore.

I also find most of my playing time on weekends and would love to have the ability to hold on to some of the more intensive bounties (like elite areas) for when I'm able to get some guildies together.

And can you do 40 zaishen missions + 40 zaishen bounties on a weekend?

I'm like "prophecies missions - too long, next!"; "bounties on hard dungeons - next!".

I just do the fast ones and maybe some long ones if it involves something like a dungeon I need to finish a book or a long mission that will be the next to some character to advance.

Sincerely if they let you store 5 you will be asking for 10 because you simply won't have time to finish them all.

Doing 8 or 10 Rragar's Menagerie in a weekend TT.

not signed. It is a part of the CHALLENGE to do all quests without waiting. It is called zaishen CHALLENGE for a reason.

Uhh, how does only being able to store 3 quests instead of 5 add challenge? It doesn't.

Anyways, I'd like this. A mission/bounty quest most likely isn't going to be repeated for months, and it sucks when you have good ones that you don't have time to do.

It is 3 quests limit because 3 new quests come a day..but I must say have 5 pvp quests to do on weekends is nice. /sign

hmm... the only quests that get backed up in my logs are the PvP-related ones (due to being too lazy to get the max reward benefit and not dropping them til i do). other than that-- i personally think the 3-quest limit is fine.

I hate having to give up/miss out on challenges just because I get home so late or I don't have the time to do them.

Take the time to read and shut up.

The point of suggesting 5 saved quests is so that people who don't have a lot of time to play during weekdays can save the z-quests and do them on the weekends.

Maybe where you live there are 10 weekdays in a week.

Well excuse us for not being able to put as much time into a game as you.

Also, the daily refers to a different challenge everyday. If it were, in fact, your definition of "daily", there would be a reward collection deadline.

You would do the same thing if you had 5 as if you had 3, just let them sit there. People just want more pretty quests to look at and ponder on doing, but not actually doing.

The idea behind the 5 quest limit is to allow users to accumulate challenges across the weekday (when people normally go to work and/or school) and finish them on the weekend. With the 3 challenge limit, those who cannot play during the weekdays miss out on 2 out of the possible 5.

This. I already do enough quest storing as it is, I don't need to have more things piling up that I don't intend to do.

Plus, this is somewhat contradictory of ANet's hope to "achieve critical mass" on certain areas of the game. Players would have less motivation to complete a specific task immediately that day if they knew they had a lot more room to store challenges to do on later dates.

Stop assuming everyone is like you. Just because you don't do the quests you save doesn't mean everyone else does the same.

Then this suggestion really doesn't apply to you. I don't know if you've realized yet, but the game doesn't revolve around you. It revolves around casual players. This suggestion helps casual players who don't have a lot of time to play during the week. This gives casual players the chance to do more quests. Making the casual mass happy means more consumers for ANet, which by the looks of it, they want.

If an additional 2 quests were allowed to be held, I highly doubt it would make a huge difference. Many players will still do the quest the day the quest comes out. This just makes it so casual players are able to do more quests in their spare time. They'll most likely still do quests on the day the quest comes out, they'll just be able to do more another day.
