Guild Wars 2

With the tracker of daily on screen now, I’m sure many have noticed white ‘one hit’ mobs progress the Daily Kills.

This shouldn’t happen.

I suggest changing that so white creatures don’t award points towards that (or kill variety for that matter).

Why shouldn’t it?

Meh, I guess I agree, though I doubt anyone’s really “exploiting” this fact for any kind of significant gains. In the time it takes to run around and hunt down one-hit critters specifically, you probably ran past 10 more regular mobs you could have been killing. Or, just going about your regular business and letting the kill count just happen naturally.

That seems odd, pretty sure it never counted before. All the different white creatures did count as a single type for variety.

it has ALWAYS counted before
except no matter how many different white-one-hitters you kill, only one adds toward variety kills. These 1 hitters have a separate section in the “slayer” achievements tab, so let them add that 1 point to variety kill as everything else does. Glass cannon can go to a started area and 1-hit pretty much anything on the way, why are those white ones such a problem to you?

Don’t change it please. Slaughtering helpless critters is the only way I can reliably progress the Weapon Master achievement for vastly underpowered or little-used weapons like Focii or Shields. XD

another trick for you.

ballistas count towards staff kills

White Creatures have always counted for variety and total kills. (I spent some time trying to figure out what type the whites were — apparently, there are 2-3 types, but I could never narrow it down.)

There’s three basic categories of critters, which are white-named creatures that have no level beside their name:

1. Land Critters. This includes rabbits, racoons, armadillos and other land-based critters like lightning bugs.

2. Air Critters. This includes ravens, hawks, ospreys, sparkflies and other flying critters.

3. Water Critters. This includes the various types of salmon and other critters fought while underwater.

Interestingly, it seems that as soon as a creature has a number beside its name, it ceases to count as a critter and instead counts towards a different creature type. For example, killing a white crab(1) does not count towards Water Critters, but towards the Shell creature type, even though you can one-shot said crab easily like any other critter.
