Mohby Windbeak again? That's the third time he's come up. I know the second time was due to a glitch or something with them resetting the order but a third time? How many bosses are in this game?

Better than getting, say, a boss in Domain of Anguish or Slaver's Exile.

When it all started, I was hoping the Zaishen quests and bounties would take us all over the Tyrian lands. Seems clear now that they have a limited rotation.

The prospect of completing every mission in HM while accumulating coppers was first innovative and exciting. Now it has become tedious. The shameful part is that there are enough missions to go almost 2 months without a repeat. There are so many bosses that you can probably go for several months without repeating those either!

Does anyone knows if this limited rotation was the original intent or are we missing some additional quests and bounties in the rotation due to a bug?

They're just probably too lazy to create the extra quests/bounties etc....

I just sighed when I saw Tihark and Mohby... again.

Quoted for truth. I felt the same way.

Looking at the complete list of z-missions, it appears that they have offered every mission in the game except one now, with some offered up to three times and most offered twice. Did Pogahn Passage get left out, or might it show up someday?

When they announced these new zaishen quests I thought they would be quests that lead you around world of GW with actual new quests. Not beat this mission/kill this boss like i've done time and again b4 ziashen quests was announced.

The quests should been a little more original with new dialog. Diffrent from all other quests.

Pogahn was left out for some mysterious reason.

I do wish that non-elite area bounty days were random, meaning a random boss was picked from all bosses in-game and assigned reward values based on the area it was found.

Interesting... I went and looked at the list and infact, it does look like every mission in the game is listed. However, I honestly do not recall seeing Imperial Sanctum (Shiro) as a Zaishen quest. Perhaps I overlooked it.

Oh well, Tihark again! I love Tihark, easiest coppers in the game. Large bags here we go again!

Imperial Sanctum was probably a week ago or so - without looking I'm thinking last Saturday or Sunday, since I think I did a bunch as a break in the middle of DTSC.

I understand why they don't do a lot of Tyrian bosses due to spawning issues, but they could at least do something like Maw the Mountain Heart. /shrug

Both the Zaishen Mission and Zaishen Bounty cycles have completed, and started over.

The Zaishen Mission cycle is the longest, with 68 mission quests. (As mentioned, Pogahn Passage was ommited, though I haven't heard specifically if it was an error which will be corrected.)

The Zaishen Bounty cycle has 66 boss quests. Why not more? Who knows...

And just to complete the thought, the Zaishen Combat cycle only has 8 quests.

Just give it a generic dialogue with a blank for boss name/area so it can be completely automated so anet cant screw it up

then look thru and see how many bosses are from each chapter....we did like what 4 from prophecies?? (verata, the bone dragon whose name escapes me, kephet.....not many others), factions....a few more than prophecies, but still lacking.....havent looked thru for nightfall.....but it seems the lions share of the bosses are either :dungeon bosses, elite area bosses, or in eye of the north.....can any one quote the exact numbers?

and yeah pog. passage was left out as my ele still needs just that one for her leg. guardian title (wouldnt have done those missions in hm with her otherwise).
though I do feel for the combat people...8 is just toooo few.

No, it was there, I think it was over the weekend. I remember this because I got it on four characters, saved it over a couple of days and then finished them all at one shot.

The bounties seem quite limited, though. I was hoping to see different bosses!

I don't do the Z-Quests anymore. There's just not that much fun and reward in replaying that content. I was considering getting runs for the Vengeful Aatxe bounty the other day, but at the end was just like "Eh, screw it."

That and the bounties just not cycling through all of the available bosses before they start repeating is making the system look dull.

I've been rather disappointed as well with the bounties... I'd like to see more bounties in the more classic original game areas in Ascalon, Northern Shiverpeaks, Kryta, Maguuma..etc..

I got me a Heavy Equipment Pack, stuffed it with armor....and am pretty much done with the Zquests for now. Maybe I'll pick them up in a few months or so.

I pretty much only do the quick and easy pve ones now ... like tihark and mohby. Or, farm the pvp quests if doing pvp that day.
