Rujiyo! (Mini-Missions)
Cash
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?

Nah, never....ANet just tries to kill all of the fun of playing the game by introducing a new mission and giving us "lame" rewards. <insert rolling eyes smiley here> I'm sure I'll be flamed by more than one user here due to my opinion, but that will just add to the hilarity. So flame away if you like! -Tom |

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.

Worthwhile rewards for doing stuff is what makes RPG games fun.
Them not being in place is what makes RPG games unfun.

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.

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.
Kijik Oni Hanryuu
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.
Xen Foranus
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!

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!...

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!!

GREEN ITEMS, or wait a couple hours and you get the NEXT MISSION and after that another then at the end you get something extremely good! just be patient!
Song Rui
ye. we'll get something worthwhile in the end.
Kijik Oni Hanryuu
my god... WAAAAAA WWAAAAAAA you can't get in OMG find a group that will work with you. Gloryfox I think for once I may completely, unequivably agree with you, BTW I don't think this is just about nightfall, this is about the greater evil that will encompass all of the guildwars world, I knew anet had more of a storyline than some dude who betrayed the emperor and a lich.
Zinger314
Want to know my theory?
The creatures? They are from Lyssa's Realm. That's right. Chaos? Put 2 and 2 together.

The small party size plus being in an area that's typically full of lower level characters makes this a bit difficult to pull off with PUGs. Heck, with an alliance group, we had enough trouble (but that's because no one seemed to want to pull).
Kijik Oni Hanryuu
hmmmm maybe, I still think alternate dimension= greater evil, these guys will be popping up in every chapter trust me, and I do believe Nightfall will be a huge fight against them, then at the end we will think we defeated them and then Chap 4 will have a small taste of how these grasps and stuff were only the tip of the evil iceberg, then Chap 5 will reveal the controllers of the grasps, chap 6 we destroy em, 7...8....9... it goes on and on, the fight of Good vs Evil never ends.
GloryFox
Well I did it with 2 characters already
TEAM 1
Warrior (*Ripsite / Glads def build) ME
Assassin (Palm Twisted Fangs)
Mesmer (Domination)
Monk (Protection)
TEAM 2
Ranger (Barrage / Pet)
Monk (Smite / Pet)
Ritualist (Restoration Communing ,Wonderlust Elite) ME
Necro (Blood/degen)
See it can be done with many different classes and builds... Just takes time... Just do what you do best...

Well there may be a nice reward at the end. BUT, where have these quests left the casual player? I play Guild Wars for FUN and to relieve the stress of the day, not to get stressed trying to do some quest that yeilds very little in the way of any reward so far. I guess it is yet again Anet's way of saying that they like to gear everything toward the PVP style of play. Now your going to say the quest is not pvp. Yes this I know, But it has the same intensity as pvp play is my point.
My point here is that I am not a number cruncher. I don't sit and pick apart each skill and stat in the game in order to play it. If that is everyones idea of fun gametime then you should get out more. The release of factions brought us the MOBs of foes. I was told when I started playing guild wars some 8 months ago that you can do pretty much everything in the game with henchmen, and in Prophecies this was true. BUT now all I see is that anet is very pushy and insistant that I absolutely MUST play with pug groups a majority of the time. I must say that I do not get anywhere near the fun from playing factions that i got from playing the Prophecies Campaign. Just my rant. I guess this new quest has me somewhat at a loss for understanding. I just don't know where they think this is really going.

if it goes the way of people who dun like the game leave, IMO so be it, frees up server space and stress for me. I understand your viewpoint but what stresses me out is that people come on these boards and on guildwars to say, simply put, "Anet sucks and so does guildwars" and they are playing for free and that kind of trash pisses me off.

It's still 50 Jade Orbs.
Kijik Oni Hanryuu
it is leading up to something tho, you still have a good two to three areas of the island to clear, like panjiang peninsula, Zen daijun, and minister cho's estate(maybe?).

He finally appeared and started yelling for help in the monastary....we all start running to him and he wants us to accept a quest with no reward comment etc. - everyone teams up blindly with a basic balenced team to see what the heck to expect ! This happened at around midnight CST....like 6:30am for those on the Euro server...
Lol needless to say many teams came back saying it was extremely hard and died at the first encounter >.< But what can u do entering blindly? Keep a safe build, that expects variety...we made it halfway before wanting to reorganize and experiment...I got so many pm's while fighting asking if we made it I almost killed myself lol.
You will quickly see what will work for a 4 man team that ends up fighting pretty much 2x the amount of your party
Spoiler****REWARD****
*******************
(its a to be continued quest for 50 orbs >.< and will have more stages)
***Spoiler Hint for how to win ***
***************************
Look at what u encounter, the monsters will distinctly remind u of a place we have farmed to death..and make a mini team out of it.
***Spoiler -what worked- ***
***********************
We approached this like the tombs and used a 2 barrage/pet team with a MM and monk...when done we found this is only part one of a "to be continued" mission...good luck and have fun !
