ATTACK OF THE KILLER TOMATOES

A/

I remember doing a quest which involved me having to kill wave after wave of monsters now this (I'm pretty sure anyway) was in Factions and it was when I first began playing, needless to say I failed at it horribly after like 20 tries.. I just wanted to find it again and see how easy it is just for the lulz. I hope my memory serves me right... I am pretty sure they came at me in waves O_o


TL;DR
Which quest involves waves of monsters coming at you?

No but it was in the beginning zone somewhere around Shing Jea Island

Are you sure it wasn't a quest that took place during the dragon festival or something because I don't recall quests in the beginning area with many waves of monsters.

I suppose that's possible... but I know I was noob enough not to be lvl 20 yet, and I definitely didn't get ran anywhere by someone. I was in one of the starting area's for sure.. I'd say lvl 13-16 max.

Could you be mistaking waves of enemies for the big mob of Crimson Skulls in The Captured Son?

Both of those are fairly easy though. You could have had trouble on each if you tried soloing at the levels you mentioned or without max armor (being "noob").

Well there is 1 quest with waves and waves of monsters but it's in Nightfall that's the only quest you could have mistaken this for and where I could imagine multiple deaths with anyone that is inexperienced.

I'd say The Threat Grows, but that's a rather easy quest. The only other beginner area wave quest that can be hard for low level characters I can think of is Assault on Beknur Harbor, but that is in Nightfall.

Perhaps it is this:
http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Attack_the_Kurzicks!
There you fight in front of Gyala Hatchery and you have to fight 9 waves of Kurzick.

There's also the mission The Eternal Grove, where waves over waves of enemies come in.

Not at the start of Factions, but fits your description of waves over waves.

Not many waves, but possible.

I can think of a couple quests that involve waves of foes but none which are normally part of Shing Jea quests.

Could you be remembering some of the mini-missions from the Dragon Festival event? http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Dragon_Festival_2006 I remember those missions seemed amazingly hard during the first Dragon Festival (when there were no heroes, HM, or even NF yet.)

I remember there is a quest on Shing Jea Island, in the zone which leads to the final mission (forgot the name), where you have to retrieve an item for a questgiver from an island, and once you pick up the item you get attacked by three waves of Naga's, with a Naga Ritualist boss at the end.
Is that maybe the quest you meant?

Is there any possibility at all it may have been Nightfall starting islands?

Because there is one there, http://guildwars.wikia.com/wiki/Assa..._Beknur_Harbor that has a few waves of critters, might be challenging if you were lower level.

Only other ones I can think of are the ones already mentioned so far.

I'll bet you are thinking of this Prophecies quest:
http://guildwars.wikia.com/wiki/The_Undead_Hordes

I can remember it being a real pain back when there was only one "medium" mode. ("Normal" mode now, is easier than the "only" mode used to be, "hard" mode is harder.) If you want something closer to the old nostalgia days, do it in Hard Mode.

It was probably one of the protecting quests, were you protect places from afflicted. possibly even Zen Daijun?

At first, I thought of The Undead Hordes (as a Level ~12 Proph character with a friend or two and some Proph henchies) and Protect the Learned (when I had no idea what was about to happen and went charging forth, triggering it all at once ... in HM. It wasn't pretty.)

But it seems like ruk1a is sure it was around Shing Jea Island. So now I'm rather stumped and really curious to see what turns out to be the answer.

ruk1a, do you remember what species the foes were? Mostly humans or some general family of creatures?

Was this one of the primary quests which had the tutors from the monastery defending the village in panjiang peninsula? I remember doing that, though not what it was sorry It mainly involves defeating sicckened guards like the ones found in minister cho's estate.
