Rujiyo! (Mini-Missions)

im starting to believe that there HAS to be more to it than just what we're being shown now. coincidence that this quest was only just now given and not given the first day? perhaps tomorrow there will be a lvl 2 and so on until the last day of the festival?

YES GO SOCCER55 *hands him a mini defender o anet suit* Good job I am glad more people are seeing the light! *big thumbs up*

i found a terror shield while doing the mission, too bad it was only purple

I don't think there's anything in particular wrong with anything you've said, and this very well could be just round one of something bigger. But, we really have no clue if it is or not, and therein lies the problem many people had with this. We don't what it is. It could be the beginning of something big. It could be just an incredibly hard quest with an incredibly crappy reward. Anet's left us pretty much completely in the dark here. That can be very frustrating, especially given the possibility that it all might be time sensitive. I don't want to come away from a game feeling completely bewildered about what just happened.

a TERROR shield? wasnt that the big hoax of about 5 months ago (ie. are you just joking?)

yes, there was a big hoax.
I remember also a hoax around an IDS, that ANet later implemented in the game to make it real.
But I have doubts they would do this on an Event.

No, no they don't. That's precisely why Tyria is mostly all deserted now. No worthwhile rewards left for players there = no fun left for players there.

Worthwhile rewards for doing stuff is what makes RPG games fun.

Them not being in place is what makes RPG games unfun.

There are a lot of times where you can defend ANet's actions as "Oh well, you don't have to do it if you don't like it," but they simply dropped the ball with this quest (unless there is something hidden about it, but I'm not here to speculate).

It's crap, plain and simple. If you're looking for challenge...do ToPK with 4 people. It's the same thing, except you also get a reward. Note that a reward is not necessary all the time, but there has to be SOMETHING to justify doing this quest. It doesn't even advance a story, because it's endlessly repeatable. At this moment, 50 orbs are worthless, plain and simple. You only need 10 extra after doing the 4 quests, and it's really bloody easy to get those 10.

Furthermore, people who don't frequent forums are going to be even more ticked off at this, becuase it's so much harder than the other quests...yet gives a worse and arguably worthless reward. People will feel like they've in effect wasted an hour (or more, depending on how many times they failed) of game time.

This is an undefendable screw up. There is absolutely no redeeming quality to this "mission". I'm normally one to attack excess negativity, but in this case, y'all need to get your heads out of your (or ANet's) collective asses and see that this was a mistake, unless the entire community is missing something, OR ANet manages to correct it later on by adding something else that ties in with it.

We have rifts uip there!

Whos willing to bet we get 50 orbs for that too?

Actually this is VERY defendable, there are ulterior motives I can just about guarantee it, and besides why complain? its not gonna get anything done, and it makes YOU look like a little baby, crying for your damn bottle. Live with it or pay for it.

we almost beat the quest!

we took a worroior/mes with mantra flame. echo nuker with mantra reslove, sprite spammer, 1 monk with reslove we had 3 more to go but lost because of too much arrgo!

but the build rocks

Well, there's a new quest in Jaya bluffs. :s

100 Orbs!

OMG! you beat me to it! man ur fast
all i did was take the screenies and then got over here. well yes the captian has just announced a new mission in the bluffs. looks like some predictions where right. might be greens at the end after all!

What's strange is that it completely replaced the Hanju Lagoon quest.

So I guess there were no greens there.

PS: I have access to it, and I never completed Hanju Lagoon. So I wouldn't expect a completion bonus.

If there is, and ArenaNet seriously screwed up the presentation.

Navaros I also disagree with you, what makes RPG's fun to me, is bashing things head in, that may just be becuase I am sadistic but that is beyond the point, also I like MMOs for being able to play a game with other people, being an only child and not being allowed ot have friends over. Of course this is all a matter of opinion. Also about the tyria thing I am planning on taking my sin through there, not for the rewards but for the fun of killing stuff, I also think that I might be able to just about rape glint with a skill bar with a 6-7 hit combo with my sin.

Well if there are, too bad for me. I'm done with the night, not going to waste any more time killing my brain cells when I should be sleeping .

HAHA YES I WIN! I told you guys there was MORE! *does the ima winner dance*

OH GET OFF THE ORB ISSUE PEOPLE. 50 IS FINE! TAKE IT FOR WHAT IT IS...


This is a friendly preview for NIGHTFALL. I think Anet was great for doing this.. I enjoyed the mission 50 ORBS or not. Others have enjoyed it too. Be satisfied you beat it where others could not.

TO You who beat the mission... you are 1337 for it.

GOOD FOR YOU!...

/cheer

Really crappy, Now I feel how people feel when they cant get to the Deep themselves or something.

Level 3 henchmen.
4 people max.
Reallllly limits your options for a group..After the first 10 minutes the only groups going are " LF TANK/MONK/NUKER/TRAPPER/COOKIECUT"

Its impossible for anyone to get into a group unless they are 1/5 things!
On top of this, the first mission only lasted like 2 hours!!
