Guild Wars 2

Please more clearly communicate when the monthly achievement ends.

I had planned on doing my fifth dungeon today 2/28, but the monthly achievement is already reset as of 8:00 central time.

I am disappointed that I will not get the monthly achievement reward, even though it is still the month of February.

Resets happen at the same time every day, though. Since this is the last day in the month, of course today’s reset would bring March.

It’s just sloppy. The achievement screen should display dates and times.

I have learned my lesson, and that is, take nothing for granted.

I will make the assumption that you are new, and therefore forgive your not knowing and say welcome. For the rest of us this has been a simple fact since launch so it stands to reason that it would work this way.

It’s best to do things before the last minute, in all areas of life.

It’s asinine. At the very least let us display the actually game server time which appears to be GMT. When my server time is 4 PM, I have no reason to expect it to be reset at 4 PM. Midnight is the customary time for rollovers. Allowing us to at least display GMT in game might alleviate the stupidity of the system, it is entirely unintuitive at the moment.

WTF have just server time or local time as an option if it means absolutely diddly squat for the players?

I don’t care if ANet uses Mars local time for timing its resets or has done so since the Eisenhower Era, I just want to be able to have it on my mini-map because local server time means absolutely nothing.

Yes, because games are like life and should be just as frustrating, right?

I don’t whine when something goes wrong, I adapt. It’s much more frustrating shouting at a wall than to go around it.

Yes, because it’s always a good idea to eat that soup with the fly floating in it.

I could concider agreeing if it weren’t for the fact that the server has reset at the exact same time every single day since the very first. As such, if you haven’t gotten the hang of it by now… That’s really not ANet’s fault.

That’s a crap reason and fails all logic.

What about all the people that started playing the game today?

Or the people that that never bothered with dailies or monthlies until the recent changes, of which there have been many?

You need to reconsider your thinking because it is a deplorable way of rationalizing why things should or should not be improved.

“Narf, we always had a hole in that deck plate, everyone by now should know to walk around it, it’s really not the Captain’s fault, Narf!”

This is a wall that I don’t have to get around. There are lots of games to play, and if a game is frustrating, and there are no positive changes, then I will play a different game. It’s as simple as that.

monthlies have reset at the same time every month. Honestly, the easy solution is to not wait until the last minute to get things done.

Where the hell you people come from? Most people aren’t walking around or playing games with GMT times dancing in their heads.

In the game you have only two choices for tracking time: LOCAL or SERVER.

Guess which one the game actually uses as a a basis for dailies and monthlies? NEITHER!

It just so happens my server time is the same as my local time, go figure. Why in the hell is this so hard for people to at least make an attempt to understand?

I don’t care how long something has been done, if it needs improving, improve it. If KNet is so attached to GMT, then at least f. f. s. let us toggle on the the GMT time in game.

Because right now, server time doesn’t mean anything.

First of all, all NA servers use the same server time. so don’t tell me it’s not based on a solid server time. It’s 4pm server time during standard hours, 5pm server time during daylight. Get used to it.

Second, there are about a zillion things I’d rather anet work on than handholding people who literally wait until the last possible minutes to get things done.

If all the North American Servers use Pacific Time, which is my local time, then that’s even more of a reason to type a couple of numbers in and change the kitten server time system. Makes no sense to arbitrarily have server time be different then actual reality based server time.

Secondly, if we used your logic nothing would ever get fixed or improved in the game because there would literally always be something more important by your methodology.

There should be a calender monthly achievement that is given for each month and a monthly achievement based on a months worth of achievements that is not bound by a months timeline with expiration dates. Same goes for daily achievements.

It resets on the 28th of every single month. The game was launched on the 28th. Anet is using a ‘fiscal month’ type of thing with this.

you mean if this game says monthly it ends on the beginning of the last day of the month…that’s very, strange.
