Make Zei Ri available after NM WoC

I think it's really painful to go through the whole chain in HM to get her, and seems like many people dislike this. Just like Razah once require 4 gems to get, it's not cool. Please make her available just after NM WoC or add a quest to get her.

Razah was the 1st and only rit hero at the time. Xin Rei is the (potentially) 3rd. I don't think it's quite the same.

Frankly, I'm not sure where I stand on the issue. I like the idea of players getting something extra for doing harder content, and I think that that's fair...but a hero is a significant and permanent reward....but is a 3rd rit hero really that significant?...well where's the line then? I really don't know.

I think the chain of 35 quests(took at least a few hours) is enough for a hero reward, Miku is just useless.

If it was reversed,ie. miku hm,zei nm nobody would give a flying RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO, nor there would be so much qq....


You complain it took you a few hours?

How many hours does it take to complete proph or nf?

It's not our fault, Anet didn't do a good job on melee hero's AI.

BTW I always bring Jora unless it's some extremely difficult situation.

I'm really torn on the matter tho. While I have no problems with greater rewards in HM vs NM, this quest line is just....long. Sure, its a good bit harder, but that isn't the problem for me.

Comparing GW to WoW for a second, truly one of the final nails in the coffin for me with WoW was heroic mode. Not because it was harder, not because loot was different, but because of story/lore. When I play through a questline, I take my time and follow the story....read the chat....watch the cinematics. I did that with WoC NM, just as I did WiK and HotN. So now I'm "done" with it, but yet I am FORCED (meaning "forced" as in there is no other way to unlock Zei Ri) to do it again. And being the nutjob that I am, I HAVE to get every possible hero!

I'm a casual, so its going to take me longer than many to do. HM is harder, so its going to take a good bit longer than NM (I'm sure I will fail several of those end quests a few times.) Again, I am NOT complaining about difficulty. I'm just complaining that now the chat gets in the way...now the cinematics get skipped.....now WoC has lost its excitement. I just think the reward of more guard requisitions, more gold, gold z coins, more xp, etc, etc is enough reward for those who want to go the more challenging route.

There was no added bonus for doing WiK or HotN in HM was there? I don't see why they felt the need to do it this time. Personally, I think ONE QUEST (a NM but very hard "masters quest") after completing WoC NM would have been a more realistic option to unlock Zei Ri. I'm just not a fan of having to do the whole lot of 35 quests over again. ....even though I am in the process of doing so.

I'd say:

/notsigned, cause greater challenge (or at least, getting trough the whole content twice) deserves a greater reward.

Btw, i agree that atm is just silly. Maybe, instead of locking HM content on the whole content base, do it on the 3 chapter separately.

Explaing.
At to be able to do WoC pt. 3 in HM, you have to do:
-Woc pt 1, NM + HM.
-Woc pt 2, NM + HM.
-Woc pt 3, NM.

Instead, could be better to say: if you finish pt X in NM, you can do part X in HM, even is not completed in HM previous ones(that you have to complete in NM anyway).

This way, to get the chance to do Woc pt 3 in HM you have to do:
-Woc pt 1, NM(unlocks HM version of chap. 1)
-Woc pt 2, NM(unlocks HM version of chap. 2)
-Woc pt 3, NM.(unlocks HM version of chap. 3, and acces to Zei Ri).

So now you still have to go through the whole content, but only once to unlock the HM part that awards the hero, instead of 2 times every quest, which is the unacceptable part.

This is the right suggestion imo. Simply making Zei Ri aivable in NM too doesn't make sense.

With the condition that you have to at least play the quest chain over again in NM.

what really disappointing me is people in this community saying HM is so easy, and yet I don't see a step by step walk through guide of every single WoC quest in HM on these forums.

I thank the people that have helped. Many on this forum are extremely helpful.

These people who think they are so elite that they can attack anyone by saying hm is easy should prove it and walk everyone else through it step by step quest by quest, showing builds, techniques, hero placement, etc. Enrich the entire community with your knowledge.

Then I guess most of the people will not do WOC Part 1 HM again, not the whole thing.

Then could be possible to put some restrictions on orders collectors depending on the amount of content completed. But HM isnt' designed as a MUST, but as extra challenge for who wants it....that's why no much hate for Zei Ri, and my solution looks the best to me to balance out this issue. Or maybe not, who knows?

Maybe 1/2 signed....Like others have said...its not that it's just a hero.....it's a useful hero. Currently it takes far too long it get something useful. Since an extra rit hero is useful ppl will want to obtain on multiple toons, which starts too get into some rediculous time spent. I think once most obtain him they will switch rajahs prof, thus still only using 2 Rit hero. dern u auto correct......I like Andrews suggestion more than the op, but agree had the heroes been switched there wouldn't be an issue at all

Busy doing HM questline on character number 9 maybe?

How lazy are people nowadays, seems like they require a guide for everything. The people that puplish builds are doing a heavy job and for what gain? I can say that you'll be able to do HM WoC if you just take some builds from PvX and mod them after what you're facing, trial and error.

The first phase was released on July 7, 2011; the second on September 29, 2011; the final phase was released on February 9, 2012.

I agree that if you ignored that there's something like WoC for 6 months, it will take a lot of time to finish it now.

This is the same as asking Anet to get both heroes from mutually exclusive couples before completing NF.

Nobody knew you need to finish HM to get a hero before part 3 released. Not everyone enjoy HM(same plot, stronger mob) that much.

I liken it to a little badge of honor showing that you completed the content. We don't need more heroes (thanks mercs!), but getting something a little extra for going through WoC HM was a nice touch.

So you would support we have to collect 4 gems to get Razah?

What you meant "more effort" is 35 quests in HM all over again and with increased difficulty.

Without any effort? So finish the whole chain of WoC NM(at least a few hours) is nothing in your eyes?

It's much more difficult and time consuming than most of the other heroes. It's quicker to go over NF and EotN to unlock most of the heroes.

There ARE guides and builds!
Just read disscussions on wiki pages and run PvXwiki builds. They work despite they're boring. You have to do something little yourself.

WoC HM is SUPPOSED to be challenging, and that's why Zei Rei is one of the rewards. Being a rit, it opens up big possibilitys for 3 rit hero teams etc (without mercenarys). Miku isn't going to be used as much (IMO) since she's a sin. I'd rather actually have to try for a new hero that can actually be used rather than mindlessly click my mouse and let my heroes kill afflicted.

If you're a completionist, do it, if not - don't! You can do pretty much all content of GW without one extra ritualist hero...

It is, as a matter of fact WoC is intended to be harder-then-your-normal-campaign kind of expansion; people asked for challenge - people got it...

Please show me where I said this? The gems was a gimmicky thing. I wouldn't care now because I basically have stacks of the little bastards, but it was stupid back at the time. I'm talking about effort for greater reward. In HM DoA you get more gems than in NM. This makes sense. If it doesn't to you, you sir need to get your reason checked out.

What I meant with free reward is that WoC is completely free and handed to you. Yes it has its flaws, but it's FREE content. So are Miku and whatever the new Rit hero's name is.

It's not nothing, but it isn't much either. The quests in NM are a piss tbh. I don't know how the quests in HM would be if you play the game legit. I did all of them with 6-14 heroes glitches, so it was a blast for me. But since a lot of people did it without abusing said glitch, I'm sure it's perfectly possible to do it with just 7 hero's and a working brain.

Just saying: the only thing i think is legit is being pissed by have to do 70 quests to get a hero, even more if you're planning to do it on more chars.

On the rest, agree with bright and others.

Also, if you can complete WoC in HM...you pretty much do not need a extra Rit hero.

Yes, and we already got the NM, 35 quests, harder than any of the main campaign and pretty time consuming, 1 rit hero is too much?

You already got more reward in HM.
Double money
Double Ministerial Commendation and Imperial Guard Requisition Order
A few more rubies
1 extra Imperial Dragon's Tear

It's much more than you got from the HM of the main campaigns, are you ignoring these? Do we have to beat HM of Prophecies, Factions, Nightfall or EotN to get more heroes? NO, then why make an exception for WoC?

It's not just 70 quests, you have to do the same plot all over again when you beat NM and with significantly increased difficulty.

Expansions are mini campaigns, no? I assume it's normal if it requires more then 10 hours of work, even for (only) 35 Quests (...times 2.. for HM).

It's surely easier, you can buy them or spent some time to farm them, but the only way to get Zei Ri is to beat all 70 quests(half of them are HM).

15 hours of work to get a rit hero? It's not fair and way too much compare to all other heroes.
