Mission/Bonus or Masters?

What do you guys think the mission set up will be.. We know that the team who worked on Prophecies is making Nightfall, so there may be a good chance we could go back to Mission/Bonus since the team that worked on Factions is making the 4th installement... to be honest i dont really like trying to get Masters. Just want to see what everyones opinion on this is.

Mission/Bonus. At least I hope so.

i want mission/bonus because i like having to find out what a secondary objective is and how to do it and taking my time and ENJOYING the mission instead of having to rush through as fast as i can cuz otherwise i get crap for rewards.

i hope mission/bonus but i dunno what itll be.

must wait till pve preview weekend for that one. (if they have a pve preview weekend)

I certainly hope for M+B. The time-race thing just sounds like a rushed job to add some incentive to replaying missions which would otherwise be run once and then forgotten.

M+B would be nice. The only way I liked the masters was for missions like Gyala Hatchery and Eternal Grove.

M/B was better IMO.

mission/bonus rocked, gave you something to do when you didn't have it done and you were level 20

IMO I prefer the M+B. In chapt1 you in most cases could do both at the same time. But with the Masters reward you most likely had to repeat the mission once or more to get the reward. And I quite frankly found alot of the Faction missions kinda boring (Hachery, and eternal grove) and don't really like to do them over over again just to get the title. Thats one of the reason why my a protector of tyria and not cantha.

I did'nt really like the timed missions. But idea behind gyala and eternal was a good one. Maybe we will get a another new type ?

either, as long as they give the same rewards as the masters in factions.

Mission/Bonus - was almost like having two different missions in one in most cases. The timed crud... bleh

I like Mission/Bonus, but I really did enjoy the XP from Master's In Prophecies, the missions only gave you the amount of xp you'd get from two quick quests. Then again, the quests in Factions gave more xp too, so I can't really pass judgement based on that.

M/B I would like to see again... though...

the only thing I like about masters was indeed gayala hatchery...

I would like to see situational NON time dependant conditions to be met, like how gayala gave you more for the more turtles that were alive >.>

but if thats not possible... M/B ALL THE WAY BAY-BEE!

I think there is going to be a new thing, instead of mission and bonus or time, but if there is, I have no clue what it would be...

But if they do have either mission and bonus or time for nightfall, then I don't really care which they use. I liked them equally.

I like the multiple levels of bonuses based on increasingly difficult objectives. (normal/expert/masters.)

I'd like future missions to be based on a variety of different things though, not just time.

(eg. how many npcs survive, % of kills the party made, how many deaths the party have, how long the party survived for in a suicide-type mission etc etc)

Mission/Bonus FTW FTW FTW FTW FTWx893741

mission/bonus one, seeking the secondary guest is much more intersting than trying to shorten the quest time many times

I hope they go for something entirely different.

i want a variety. timed missions, mission/bonus, the gyala/eternal style, and maybe something else?

Unless Nightfall brings back skill quests, we'll see more of Factions-style Master's Reward - or worse. Considering the ever-increasing number of skills I wouldn't be surprised to find four tiers of completion for each mission if the current mentality of "make them buy their skills, it's a gold sink" wins out at ANet.

That said, I am very much hoping for the return of Mission + Bonus, especially since Nightfall is supposed to come from the same development team that is responsible for Prophecies. Hopefully the skill quests will return as well.
