ANet could easily make up some weak story, re-jig the whole mission. Make it harder and give a good reward at the end.
But... Dear God! No new Greens! Please!
Reward Tombs of the Primeval Kings.

It's another Underworld, so-to-speak, and the other one is considered elite so no reason this one shouldn't either.

i remember back in the day when it was worth it i used to do it almost every day and enjoyed it everytime ^.^
it IS an elite area of prophecies just like SF, i dont see why there is no HOM statue and an end chest reward...

I remember doing plenty of Tombs runs for the hell of it in the past; it'd really be nice to see a HoM Monument for it. I've never really understood why SF gets one when Tombs doesn't.
On the weapons, that doesn't really matter as much, because the boss weps already count as somewhat of a end reward. If people want those items, though, then the distribution of it really does suck :P.

Cause the greens used to be worth 100k, now you're lucky to get 5k. And that's if you're really lucky.

The quest is finished by killing the Darknesses. - Reward chest. There will be only one, that will drop 1 non-green rare boss drop (materials, rare equipment, etc) and one random unique (green) from the their drop list for each party member that uses it. 2 drops of each in Hard Mode. That way if you get one of th funny green items, the other reward may still be good. The Darknesses will no longer drop items. - HoM statue. - Dungeon icon. Sorrow's Furnace, Urgoz, the Deep, the Tombs and the Anguish will get their respective Dungeon icons, with a chest once they are finished once in each mode. - Replace timers with rifts. Instead the timers that appear when you clear an area, some of those dark rifts will spawn in various places of the area. Players will then have to 'talk' with the rift to teleport to the next area. * Aditionally, if players are too slow or take too long to use the rift, Margonites and other Nigthfall demons may spawn from the rift. To prevent they been farmed and making them just a downside for slowpokes, they will drop nothing and give no XP. |
Another thing that needs a HoM statue is beating EN and beating Slavers', I mean all the other games and elite areas get statues for completion except these three areas, Tombs, Slavers', and EN.

the only thing you can possibly get is storm bow that is not inscrivable from a chest, or an ecto. those IF they drop dont drop more then 1 or 2 per party.
all loot together with no rares gives you about 1.5k, for a run that takes about 1 hour on average. might as well do UW/FOW and get 5k worth of loot only and a chance of a decent drop, over the same period of time.
but hey, back then ToPK payed for my very 1st set of elite armor, so ill always be happy to go back

at this moment hardly anyone farms it, since fow/uw etc. offer much better reward for the same amount of time spent.

Could it be that this was left this way for a reason? Is this some sort of link into plot of GW2 and that changing it now would mess with the story bubbles of GW2? Just a thought. Most game designers do not accidentally overlook things like this. Food for thought.

On topic: Tombs definetely deserves a statue at least. I'd think it be cool if they added in some sort of end chest, but I'd be happy with just the statue

I remember when I only had Prophecies and everyone thought Rangers were bad for everything apart from this, and Hell's.
I farmed it like 100 times, got crappy greens, and it deserves a decent reward. One worth playing it again.

It was fun to do for about a month until the greens were farmed out and better skins came along. It really does need to be revamped.
