Guild Wars 2

I like the idea of choosing your own Daily requirements but as an achievement hunter I have to get all 11 points in PVE and WVW as well as the 4 points in sPVP. This takes an average of about 2 hours, if I work hard and fast on it, to complete and even though it doesn’t bother me that much, my girlfriend has taken a hate to the words: “I have to do my Daily.”

I have also realised a few people who were like me stopped playing GW2 for the reason that grinding those 15 points everyday is just too much of a pain.

So I got the idea that it might be better if we got Weeklies instead of Dailies. Multiply the work you get in a normal daily with about 5 and give the reward as if you did 7 dailies or something in that direction. Leaving me to play more GW2 during the weeks and have a little more time for my friends and girlfriend on weekends. I am sure this also benefits people who can’t play that much during the week because of their every day job, so that they can catch up what they missed, on the weekends.

Please like or comment on this post to let me know what you think.
Thanks

Yes, please. I can’t stand dalies, and now that we have daily time-gated content (crystals… and more coming), it’s even worse. Dailies were by far the WORST thing WoW invented/popularized, and I really dislike their inclusion in GW2. The whole reason I play this game is because it’s the one decent fantasy MMO that isn’t a WoW clone.

I dont see a problem with Dailies…. In fact I like them. If u don’t like it – don’t do it and go for monthly instead.

why make it an either or? why not have both?

Suggest: Having both weeklies and dailys, whichever you complete first, voids the other. Or just simply add weeklies.

Wow, it’s been a while since I’ve seen one of these. If you can’t get the daily done in a maximum of an hour you’re doing something wrong. If you can’t get every single daily with the same amount of ease, then don’t.

I have a character sitting at the beginning of the Ulgoth chain in Harathi Hinterlands. This chain completes, with ease, kill mobs, kill veterans, kill champions, kill kryta mobs, kill kryta veterans, do kryta events, 80% of do events and mentor events, do group events, gather, spend karma. Craft and talk to laurel vendor can easily be completed too. It only takes a short trip past the main area to get kill variety, and usually the remaining event for events and mentor events. That only leaves, ambient killer, underwater killer, Maguuma, Shiverpeaks and Ascalon events, kills and veterans, along with WvW and occasional PvP minigames. That’s not that bad at all. The chain only takes 45 minutes, and it happens pretty often. I don’t see any reason, what so ever, to change it.

I don’t have a problem with Dailies I have a problem with doing every aspect of them plus the sPVP Daily so i don’t fall behind on achievement points on the leaderboard. Plus not everyone has the option to log on every day, why should they be denied the chance to get high on the leaderboard?

Yes it is true that most aspects of the daily can be done fast, but as I told Frostfang not everyone has the option to log on every day.
The 3 WvW daily achievements takes at least 30 mins if your lucky. That is hoping your not on at a bad time waiting in queue for any borderland. Took me 20 mins last Friday just to get into WvW.
Then there is Dungeon Story, a quick AC story run takes 20 mins at least, thats hoping there no newbies or cutscene watchers.
sPVP daily is about 10 mins per game, meaning 3 games take about 30 mins on average.
Then there is also the Fractals Daily achievement, yes, if you get a party who just want to do their daily fractal run and you keep on entering to get swamp first this part can be quick, but finding that party takes time itself and if not you either have to do an entire Fractal run or you must leave when you are done with the first one leaving a mad team behind.

If you can’t log in every day, then don’t. I don’t understand why people think that someone who isn’t able to play the game consistently should get a break just because they can’t play. Support the people who are and can play, not the people who can’t. That’s asinine.

Simple fact. There is no reason that you actually NEED to complete dailies. It’s simple as that. If you can’t finish it, then don’t. You didn’t lose anything as a result.

I put a lot, and I mean a lot, of time into GW2 that still doesn’t mean I am able to log on every day. That doesn’t make my opinion any more or less worthy than yours. I think if you ask around there will be a lot of people who can’t be on every day because of work or personal reasons

Easy for someone to say when your not high on the leaderboard when you are in the top 300 like me and aiming higher you can’t miss a single point of the every daily.

Wow, so you’re not in this for the masses, you just can’t handle losing your oh so important status, which means nothing.

I think you need to get your priorities straight and the reasoning for those priorities before trying to make game changing suggestions to support yourself personally.

1) I’m not the only guy with this problem.
2) People who are not already high on the leaderboard won’t ever be able to get there unless they do this long daily grind every day.
3) “yourself personally” is a grammar mistake

You can’t tell me that you actually complete all those 15 daily achievements and enjoy it, but you don’t have a problem with it because you are not the one doing it everyday and you do not mind if you miss a day.

I do not think I have an important status I just like competing for the top.

Another solution might be to only let the 5 achievements that complete your daily give achievement points then you really only have to do 5 of them.

I would like weeklies in addition to the dailies. I would not mind another way to earn laurels.
