Guild Wars 2

I personally think that daily is a very anti-casual mechanic because it creates a urge to login everyday to do the daily, which feels like a chore/job. While I know that no one is forced to do them, the reward offered is quite a bit, which would make people do them just to keep up with inflation and what not.

That’s not to say that the daily doesn’t have any benefit because it do. It helps people with little play time to keep up with other players.

So, why not remove daily, add weekly with more generous completion requirement? This would ensure that casual who miss a day or two can still get the full weekly amount and without affecting the more dedicated players. Additionally, I would also suggest to lower the monthly completion requirement to better accommodate casual players. Partial completion should yield rewards too.

What are your thoughts?

You have to log in to do dailys as much as you have to climb Mount Everest. It’s an option, not a forced mechanic. Weeklies would be fine aside from the fact less casual players would finish them in 1 hour and not play until next week. Earlier my wife had to do her daily, she had 45 minutes until work. I told her where she could go for teh various things and she was done with 15 minutes to spare. This included underwater and events and crafting. I’m almost done with my monthly but may miss because I can never seem to finish a dungeon.. for some stupid reason or another.. So I just don’t do them ^^;

To put things in perspective. I have no urge to dailies, monthlies or whatever. If they happen they happen.

It’s actually a quite silly and boring mechanic to chase. Another thing I guess I refuse to do to make this boring moment in GW2 history pass.

The nerve of me wanting story content, additions to bestiary, and new areas to roam. Don’t judge me.

Your post contradicts itself.

In the first half, you claim that casuals would prefer 1 weekly compared to 7 dailies.

In the second half, you claim that casuals would prefer if the 1 monthly were split into X partial completions.

Dailies are partial completions of a weekly.

So people who like the dailies should be less rewarded because you have no self control? Probably not the best metric for a design decision.

The dailies give players who want ascended gear a way to do them without farming fractals. And they’re about to change anyway, so why not wait until this patch before you judge what the dailies are?

Then it would make sense to make a post if you don’t like them. But be aware removing them from the game will kitten off an awful lot of people.

I like having something to day everyday, otherwise I’m just sitting here waiting for FFXIV/TESO and my PS3 to get fixed… ::sadface::

No thanks, leave my dailies right where they are, thank you. If you don’t want to do them, just…I dunno…don’t?

That was pretty easy ^__^

Except any progress on a daily is lost if you don’t complete it within a day, whereas a weekly will give a much more reasonable timeframe to accommodate casuals.

Also, for the rewards for the weekly can be something similar to 7x dailies. For the people that likes dailies, you are free to do 5events and 10revive, 25 underwater kills everyday If you so desire, no one is stopping you. Your 7 daily reward is already covered.
