Zaishen Mission - needs help in Eternal Groove.
Thank you for zaishen quests, Anet!

I've done 2 sets of the quest and mission, and was in a group of 8 for both. Pretty nice way to encourage grouping considering people all do them in HM. This would also made protector/guardian titles easier, just need to wait until the mission comes around.

I like the idea, would like to see a couple of tweaks maybe, but i'm happy enough for now. Thanks Anet, hopefully we will see even more awesome additions around August time?

ANet's doing the Blizz strat: see what works, why, and then implement it.
While not really expanding too much on the gameplay, they're still great additions to the game.

I like how it makes it easy to find a partner for 2/6 parties. Not as good as 7-heroes would be, but still nice.

New MMO comes out with new feature.
Blizzard copies and integrates feature.
New MMO now has nothing to draw away Blizzard fans.
Guild Wars worked by virtue of being extremely different from most MMOs. GW2 does not seem like it.

Thanks for your hard work, ANet! It's fun seeing crowds again and having ample PUG opportunities, warts and all

"cartography" and "drunkard" titles in WoW. However, I think you are jumping the gun by assuming GW2 won't bring anything new to the table.

not sure if this has been mentioned before.
Wouldnt it be better if each type of zaishen daily (bounty,mission,pvp) had more than one available per day.
ie.
Missions: have one from proph, one factions, one nightfall, and one Eye.
Bounty: same as above.
PvP: different types, 3 to choose from maybe?
I mean for me (and probably some players) I didnt actually have all my characters everywhere and everything done, which these dailies seem to expect.
I hope they already know this and add more choices.
/g'day.

Well, so far they have done good at cycling between the different campaigns. I imagine by this point they expect everyone playing to have all of the campaigns (especially with all of the Trilogy collections being sold).

Just get a reward for it.
H/H is still the way to go.
Alll they did was make you think you are getting a new challenge when in fact you are just redoing the same thing you have been doing for the past 4 years (or however long you have played) No new challenges at all.

I know i'm not the only one who appreciated seeing 5 districts at THK.

Thanks ANET will always take any bones thrown our way.
IMO this is grind, but glad to see renewed interest from many people. That is always a good thing. Did the Molotov bounty and it was kinda weird that Molotov's minions would spawn and you would get the message to defeat him, but he was up in the forest out of sight. Definitely caused some confusion for people. Thanks to the people who pointed that out in town.

It seems like those Zaishen-Quests will slowly lead me to quite a few titles.
Already Vanquished 2 areas due to the Quests, did 2 Mission in Hard mode in Master/with Bonuses....
Good job
I just wish I had more characters that have access to all the outposts and areas....
I could kill Molotov only on 2 chars.... would have been nice to do it on 5 or 6

It gets annoying getting to the end or close to something and then have to restart because some idiot pug didnt know what they were doing or wont listen.

This update would be great if it was something new but its not. Its the same ole stuff that ALOT have already done 100 times.

Am I the only one finding it odd that people rejoice over as much as 5 districts at a specific outpost?
Did anyone ever see the game back when towns used to have about 100 districts?

Well speaking for myself, I've only started playing the game for a year. I only had prophecies w/ EoTN, but proceeded to buy the other 2 expansions and created 8 chars, thinking my Derv was going to be my main, then my Rit eventually falling back to the original character I first made w/ my necro. She's title grinding now.
I only remember seeing around 70 districts during Cantha, Wintersday, Halloween festivals. I really enjoy the game and even though I've done a lot of these z-quest missions before w/ the exception of rragars (only once in NM). It's fun with PUG's. I'm the only guildie alive in my guild so I've H/H'd practically everything else. But the 4 year players back in the day having to learn everything on their own, that must've been something seeing over 100 districts.
Noticed Elusive Golemancer is todays mission which is easy IMHO in HM with H/H. But I want to try it with a PUG to see how people go about the mission...split 2 groups and fight the waves by the furnaces or go over the fallen stump and kill everything up ahead then back to the furnaces?
BTW I prefer to go over the bridge and clear out the area first...
BenjZee
Im pretty sure they haven't changed the amoun of districts that much ....also look at the the amount of languages we have now for districts. The ones over 100 would be on an event.
um btw your thinking wrong quest
elusive golemancer is the one with the security golems...your talking about G.O.L.E.M.

Doh, my bad. I was at work while I was posting so I obviously can't log in to check. This is the one with no bodies to be had for an mm once you get into the caves...right.

Doesn't change the fact that 5 districts of PUGs NOW is a feat to see.

I'd like to say that I'm very happy with not only the new Zaishen Challenges, but also the entire update as a whole. Anet really stood up to the potential I knew they were capable of in this update, and my hat is off to them. What a wonderful couple of ideas to keep new and persistent events in the game without having to rely on updates. The PvE veterans have something new to do, and to look forward to now.
Puebert
My only wish is the Zaishen Summoning Stones were split into separate summoning stones so I can chose what I get, instead of a random something.
Otherwise, well done.
Oh, and maybe some one time use tonics. =]

i too also love the zaishen quests actually im overwhelmed with so many chars and trying to get the things done i may have to skip a few now and then
