Guild Wars 2

The new dailies are horrible, dodger is near impossible and vet killing dailies has just led to vet spawns being camped and made near impossible to complete. WE WANT OLD DAILIES BACK !! If its not broken don’t fix it

Story but i don’t find the dodging that difficult at all. All you have to do is watch When the enemie is going to do his/her/its attack and then just time it the next time.
You could also pull/run into a lot of enemies and dodge mindlessly to get some points to your achievement. Best of luck <3

I don’t want old daily back, so why do you say WE?
i buy at home in mars is a nearly impossible achievement in this life… dodging is very easy

Who is this “we” you’re referring to, OP? I for one, like the new dailies as they provide more of a challenge.

go to wvw and avoid seige/arrowcart attacks?

Two suggestions for Daily Dodger:

Metrica Province: red oozes have a ranged fireball attack that is very easy to 1) see coming, and 2) dodge repeatedly. And, if for some reason you’re not good at dodging, they don’t do much damage, so if you only aggro one, you shouldn’t have any problems healing through the fight.

Kessex Hills: Ettin hammer swing. Very visible wind-up and easy to dodge.

As far as veteran kills: there are so many veteran mobs out there that you just need to learn where they are. The easiest to find are the veteran oakhearts and pinesouls, which happen to also be useful for the dodging daily, as their wind-ups are easy to learn.

It will be nice when we get to choose 4/6, but I don’t think the new dailies are unreasonable.

The old daylies might have been easier to do (like 15 minutes in Wayfarer) but is a game that is realy easy to play fun? More variety is more fun as long as it doesn’t take more then 1 hour to do so there is time left to do other things

if you cant do the dodge daily, then I would assume you must die a lot while playing this game. because dodging is hte main way to prevent yourself from being hit by attacks.

Is it just me or the old dailies would not reset if you failed to complete them in one day and let you continue the remaining tasks the following day? Because I know they actually do reset now if you don’t complete them by day’s end.

old ones reset at same time new ones do, nothing there has changed. As to whether it seems to reset at end of day or not, all depends on your play time.

There does need to be some Tweaking done for the new dailies. Yes the dodging seems to be a hassle, but it can be achieved with a little extra effort during a days run. But things like the Veteran kills need to be looked at, you pretty much HAVE to go out of your way just to hunt down Vets for that goal. I’m not one for making the dialies easy, but they should not overly distract from running your story.

Shame on ArenaNet for asking people to use that dodge button. Really, ever do grenth or balthazar lately? No one knows how to dodge. Truthfully, the dodge daily should come naturally and you shouldn’t have to think about it. Find those 5 veterans and finish up the dodge daily during it. And there are hundreds of ways to find veterans, ask in map chat if you can’t find them. New dailies rock, you just gata let it soak in a bit

These are just excuses for the real reason. Op wants dailies to take as little time as possible. This new daily system takes more time, but is more rewarding. I enjoy it.

If you can’t evade. Grab a group of mobs and roll around in them. After a minute at most, you should have all 15.

Less time consuming actually . You can pretty much get dodger veteran and event all in one go at Jormag . You have Jormag himself plus the crystals which are all events and have vets and that wall of spikes he sprays at you can be dodged as well as the things he drops from the sky . After that take a swim for under water and if your lucky the 5th event which includes revives so really you can cover virtually every possible combo but crafting in that area

A note on the Daily Dodger: I think there are a lot of problems with it. It forces characters not well suited to being directly attacked, and those with alternative dodge mechanisms (like the mesmer’s phantasmal retreat), to put themselves in harm’s way. It discourages “early” dodging (like jumping back from a wurm before it pops up from underground), since those don’t count as evasions. But all of these are trivial.

What I hate about it is this: it’s not fun in a group. I was provoking a doe in the Diessa Plateau, trying to dodge it’s attack. I was cautious not to put up any clones or phantasms, since they might draw the doe away from me. So far, so good.

And then another player came up and “assisted” me.

We both got the experience. We both got loot. Normally, I wouldn’t be unhappy. I’d be thankful. I enjoy playing with other people around.

But this character was a warrior. He went up with a sword and used a few skills to shred through the doe. And I wasn’t able to dodge it for the achievement.

Sure, I can go on and attack another one. I just happened to notice that it was the first time while playing the game that I felt anything close to “kill stealing” happening. It broke the immersion for me, and I hated it.

I’m not saying dodger is overly difficult (it isn’t), or that it takes too much time (it doesn’t), or even that it forces a particular combat style (it does, but that’s not my main concern). I’m afraid that it takes away fun from the game.

(By the way, the reason I don’t feel identically about Daily Vets, even though someone earlier mentioned “camping” being an issue with those, is that they can be completed by a group. My issue with the dodger has nothing to do with “camping” and everything to do with discouraging and reducing the efficacy of group play, which is IMHO pretty crucial to an MMO and one of the best things about GW2)

I like this new daily dodger. Because this daily will learn new player how to dodge and why is very good to use all the time.

I just don’t like the daily healer.
You’re supposed to help other people and NPCs, not waiting there like an idiot hoping they’ll die fast.
Sure, you can find good places to do it faster. But still…I don’t like it at all as a concept (mostly for casual gamers that don’t have all day to find dead people to ress).

daily healer or not there will always be places full of already dead npc without you to wait them to die… if you like to help and ress them, now you are also rewarded.
next complain?
