Guild Wars 2

Choose Your Own Daily Achievements

With our new selectable achievement system, you’ll have a chance to set new daily challenges for yourself and to choose what kind of content you want to be rewarded for playing.

Can someone (Anet preferably) please clarify what part of the daily achievements is selectable?

I presumed that we would be able to choose/select which 5 achievements to complete our daily but it is not so.

Any who, I’d like more information on this topic.

Thank you.

You assumed correctly. The feature however is not yet implemented.

It should be available on Feb 26: https://www.guildwars2.com/en/the-game/releases/february-2013/

Thank you!
Lol.. shame on me for not looking at the expected date.

i think it will give us like 7 or so achievements and then we just have to complet 5 of thoses to finish the daily

I won’t be choosing dodging…I can do it but it’s so annoying getting it done. They could reduce the number required by half and it would still be annoying…just not quite so much!

Being able to “choose” will be good. But I don’t see what the big deal with dodging is. If nothing else, you can go find a wurm, let it go underground to you, dodge through it, let it tunnel to you, dodge through it, etc. Very easy and fast.

best thing i’ve found for dodging is to find a dredge gun and dodge that, it gives you 2 dodges per dodge!

I fulfill my dodge requirements by fighting Barracudas underwater in Queensdale (I’m new). I’m not interested in knowing why – I’m sure there’s a reason.

What I am hoping is that the daily screen will list all of them and you dont have to choose per se, but just accomplish the required amount.

this way you can just play as normal and all of them are getting credit until you finish the required amount for completion.

Wurms, Earth Elementals and Ice/Fire/River Drakes are my go-to enemies for completing the Dodger daily. Jellyfish also work well, but they can be hard to find.

If you fight underwater as a thief with the spear 5 skill against several foes, you will get dodger very quickly. If you fight as a greatsword ranger, you will get dodger very quickly. Dodging twice during hylek poison dart spam, krait hypnos poison cloud or Son of Svanir archer 10 arrow rapid shot will allow you to get 3-5 dodges out of one attack sequence. As mentioned above, drake breath, skale spit and wurm loogies are reliable for this, as well. Mesmer “distortion” should allow this (never tested it, though).

Generally, regular dodges won’t cut it since I am usually out of there too fast for it to count as an “evade.”

Skill 2 on ranger greatsword, only have to press it 2 or 3 times and your dodging is done.

For everyone else, jump into the ranger spectral weapons barrage circle and you rack ’em up fast
