This anniversary update + 7H update got me playing gw once again. I found villainy of galrath somewhat entertaining quest to play and this got me thinking: what other quests would I like to see?

This HM quest thing has some nostalgic factor for me as well since I have always had only one pve-char and will never make another, so I have played all these non-repeatable quests only once in a lifetime. Villainy of galrath twice now

Althea's ashes + titan quests would be nice to see!

Double Dog Dare
Maybe? It's only fun if your purposely being anti-wiki and looking for the things yourself, though. Or if ANet changed everything about the quest altogether, the riddle, and locations... lol which would be bascially making another quest, so w/e.

The Search for Enlightenment
This one would DEFINITELY need a PUG. So it's a contender.

Masters of Corruption
Double/Increase the Health Degen to all party members and make monsters harder ^^

The Captured Son

Six man challenge.

All titan quests are promotable.

A friend and i were thinking about this......

The ones we thought might be good candidates were Captured Son, Althea's Ashes, That Defend Bekhur Harbor against 100000 skales quest and the "Um guard this statue, I'll be right back" in Istan one. Also the "What do you do with a Drunken Sailor" in Blacktide den and the Shing Jea quest chain where you raid the Crimson Skull headquarters on that Southern Peninsula.

However all those quests are low-level "beginner" (and i use the term loosely) quests that are limited to characters from 1 campaign. So, i don't know if they are even eligible and if they are then can foreign characters access the HM versions?

How about "Defending the Eye" in Eye of the North?

Why?
It's an annoying Escort quest, but we've had those in the past and they're all doable without other humans.

How would they stop people from farming the letter (captured son) in NM then selling it to players for HM credit?

Technically Sorrow's Furnace is just a bunch of quests. Update pl0x.

Titan quests? Especially DNKP.

By removing the letter item, and turning it into a mere Objective entry in the quest log.
I would do the same with the hammers used to get survival-less survivor, by making them disappear when picked, and just making a log entry when that happens.

Can't say I care for existing quests in HM versions.

I would rather have them add some new quests for the latter areas of Prophecies.

(Southern Shiverpeaks and onwards).

Oh the irony...

Anyways, The Undead Hordes or anything similar to it (provided they make it possible to actually fail) would work great.

Given that they give so much XP already, the HM versions should give enough XP to get instant legendary survivor if you can get through them all. Make it so Anet! LDD HM will be epic rape.

Another vote for SF as well. Though that should also get an overhaul with an end chest like EotN dungeons IMO.

- The three Golems: P.O.X., R.O.X. & N.O.X. and their associated quests.
- The Beak of Darkness, but we battle a Lv40 Black Moa that, obviously, can't be tamed.
- The Impossible Sea Monster

Well I mean if it was put into an extremely hard context, it would more than likely need a PUG. I can do it fine by myself :P (Used it to get score some extra points back vanquishing a while back).

Besides, the fact that is annoyingly hard is what makes the challenge :P

"The Big unfriendly Jotun"....

"Worthy Deeds (Done Dirt Cheap)"

and YES "Althea's Ashes"

obviously quests that require you to travel through different areas

I would just like very hard quests with other reward than 50k xp and 3k gold.... Seriously , all that xp is pretty useless and not a good incentive to make players do it ( especially concerning zaishen vanquishs...)

If it was about fun , i would probably do althea ashes or end quest from sorrow furnace....

Can't remember the exact title but I believe it was Defending the Theatre in NF.

Attack of the Kurzicks

Can't remember the name but it is Factions where you go tot the Undercity and fight the various guilds

I also vote for Althea's ashes.

This would be pretty cool since I really only have one PvE charactar as well, so I have never played any quests that require charactars foreign to Tyria.

Also Sorrow's Furnace and the titan quests would be cool. And it may be nice if these were repeatable.

A zaishen elite challenge in Hard Mode would be funny, but one would have to make sure that the NPCs would survive traps, so it will be an actual challenge.
They could even add high-scores.

But Sorrow's Furnace, yush. My favoritest dungeon, despite being ridiculously easy. Easily captures my eyes with it's beautiful scenery.

Round 1: Fight! Norn tuornament and other similar EOTN activities; and maybe make them repeatable? Just means that when your going to the effort of making these quests then let players do them on occasions. Maybe reset quests every week of month then?

Updates to Sorrow's Furnace and the Titan Quests would be nice. I only did SF for the black moa and statue, and I still haven't finished the Titans because I really don't need more xp.

Also, an update to TOPK would be nice.
