I honestly don't know if I have seen a post about this but I was wondering if the DEVS are working on a mechanic so you can track what difficulty Heroic or Epic has been completed on? Maybe I am the only one that has a difficult time remembering what difficulties I have run a quest on, but it would be nice if I could track it either in the quest journal etc. or as I click on the quest to enter (maybe a number under the difficulty so I know the number of completions). Especially now with twists of fate and epic level 25 I now found myself joining a group and realizing I will get 1000 xp for completion on epic normal or hard due to repetition. That feeling of being in a bad PUG and the obligation knowing of working hard and drinking mana pots to help a subpar group while I am honestly not getting much of a benefit is bad do I risk dropping and getting a bad rep because I dont benefit or do I stay and complete? Maybe I am just soft hearted not really lol! I would like a nice way to politely excuse myself before I zone into the quest and I feel obligated to complete. Im sure even with this mechanic I would get grief but better than the lack of options available to me now.

I have read about a mechanic that people have suggested that is similar to ransack but I dont think that would work or is what the DEVS would want. People waiting to not be XP sacked is odd they IMO would prefer you level up in two maybe three destinies then TR but I would not put words into the DEVS mouth.

This is an open discussion for DEVS and players alike that is looking for feedback and or a better option to track quests. If I am a lone wolf with this problem thats fine but I dont believe I am. Its hard to keep straight multiple character completions of quests over one server let alone over multiple servers like others may participate on. Am I the one druid wolf howling at the moon or are there others out there I am not hearing?

you can hit 'p' and it will display a list of every quest and highest difficulty completed. im not entirely sure that's what you're asking.

I think he's meaning an option to look at your Adventure Compendium and see an extended "Progress" column where you can see how many times you've repeated a quest, like "EHHHHHHHHHHNC" - different colours between Heroic and Epic ofc :)

Would definitely help with working out what your repetition penalty will be before you step into a quest, especially when you're just returned from two weeks in the sun and can't remember how many times you've done stuff before :)

I'd definitely be in favour of it - I'm guessing that it is already tracked behind the scenes (or something very similiar to it) in order to work out whether you're getting a first-time bonus for a difficulty. I say do it. We can handle the additional information. We won't be freaked out by it :)

This kind of feature would really help dedicated TRs.

I would love this feature as well. It becomes difficult to remember how many times something has been run across multiple characters.

Sometimes I look at my "P" panel, quest shoes "Elite", and I have no idea if I ever ran it on hard or normal.

/signed, especially since heroic completions count towards epic XP after first time completion + have impact on opt XP in say Von3 Epic (learned that the hard way)

i think it would be great to see how many times you have completed a quest on each difficulty. with most people trying to keep an elite streak, its hard to remember if you did a quest on hard or normal or how many times you did a quest so you know not to bother joining a group if you wont get xp thats worth it due to repetition.

i join pug groups that i see on the lfm, so i could be on one end of the world than jump to the other side and lose track of how many times i did a quest on a certain difficulty.
