Guild Wars 2

Due the release of the new AP use now we have a race for the 10k AP to get the current max level of achievement point.

Right now as casual player, logging since the head start and playing weekends and weekday night im sit at 5.3k AP, maybe in another year i can get about 9-10k.

Since anet is releasing new contest every 2 weeks and every one have around 150-200 AP in one month we can get around 800-1000AP doing dialy and monthly.

So Plz anet make the amount of AP we get from living story a little more high.

a little bit more achievement points for some of the more challenging / time consuming achievements would not hurt.

Um…. 10k is not max. Per the user that put the information on there.

people will keep on getting rewards every 500 achievement points.

there is no limit.

relax, people!

Well, due to the big lag I have only with World Champion Bosses and WvW I simply cannot play those parts even if I would love to. So, I cannot have any AP reward at all. Be happy with your Achievement Points

I find simply don’t fair that I will never reach a certain AP in a strickly time even if I would because of lag. Many players also cannot do the automatic jump in the new race because they fall before (and so cannot do the achievement).

Can you explain because I don’t understand
You say in your original post that you cannot get any AP at all when that is impossible- you get AP for pretty much anything in the game- so you must have some?
How many do you want?

I don’t want free AP at all Morrigan, I simply said that people should enjoy their AP because there are person (like me and many others) that will never get some achievement (like WvW, run race etc..) because of high lag that is going always worse with every massive patch ^^

Ah ok-
Well there are some I will never get either because I suck at some things like PvP, JP, racing etc.

I am very happy with the AP I have though because I got it pretty much for free by just doing stuff I like- so it is all good.

I get that achievement points are how some people like to compete in what is otherwise a noncompetitive aspect of the game (PVE), but for most people it really shouldn’t matter as the rewards won’t go away and you can happily accumulate points at your own pace.

Unfortunately, having a laggy connection means MMOs will not give you an optimal experience. The box clearly states broadband is required. Either invest in a higher quality connection, move continents or accept that US/EU MMOs probably won’t be your thing.

Last option is to beg A.net for korean server that hopefully have less latency in Oceania with a dedicated server down-under.

You get 500 achievement points a month for completing every daily every day and every monthly every month.

Living Story typically grants around 200 points. There are 2 living stories per month.

~900 AP per month.

Then there are other achievements, which you most likely haven’t done, such as JP, Slayer, Weapon Master, Personal Storyline.

Well I get my AP through doing different activities in the game. I’m sitting on 5k AP at the moment, but with this patch, I’d like to earn more chests, so I’m simply going to branch out and do things I otherwise wouldn’t have done. I’m not going to get a bunch of energy drinks and grind out 1,000 achievement points in one sitting, they will come when they will come, they’re not exactly elusive.

Due to the way the WWW achievements are set up, that is very likely the area with the least overall contribution to almost anyone’s point total, unless that person is doing WWW exclusively. Killing big world bosses also does not reflect in the achievements really. Lots of areas which do give points do not require a super fast connection – mine has been rather sluggish mostly too.

“I am casual and hence feel treated unfairly” seems to become the main argument for any demand in changing the game. Those achievements reward a lot things. People who stick to the game and log in often. People who supported anet in GW1 times. People who keep the pvp aspect of the game alive. People who go and try things new to them. People who try the harder things in GW2. Someone who invests more time, skill, dedication, whatever into the game gets more rewards… is that such an exotic concept? Do we need game socialism now? This game rewards about anything with AP safe standing still, you will get to your next reward tier sooner or later. Not to mention those rewards are not game changers worthy of note.

I don’t get it. I started to do monthlies like 5 months after I started playing and spent most of my lvl 80 time in Orr farming stuff and still have almost 6k APs. In fact, I got last 400 or so since last patch doing almost nothing.

I mean, what I should have NOT to do in order to have less than 3k APs from playing for at least 10 months?

I used to do dailies before they changed them. Then I started playing less around November. At this point, I rarely if ever completely my dailies, simply due to not having enough time when I can play in the evenings. While I do look at them, and I do get 2, maybe 3 of them done with my ‘normal’ play, I’d have to stop what I’m doing and specifically got out of my way to get the other 2 90+% of the time. With the pvp reqs for monthlies, I’ve never completed one. Oh well I guess….

There used to always be a ‘get x kills in wvw’ req in the monthlies. Although, perhaps not now since they changed them a bit. I’ve stopped paying attention to them, since WvW wasn’t really my thing.

You only have to do four of the monthlies to complete your monthly. I think it’s been like that since February. The monthlies have been pretty easy since then. I usually get them on like day 3 or 4.

This month someone got the monthly on day 1. Seriously it really hasn’t been that hard. If you WvWed last month you’d have the player kills, the veteran kills and the events easily over a weekend.

Im not understanding where is all this discontent coming from… is free stuff, and those who dedicate more time to the game get more stuff than those that dont. I myself dont have many ap points, but I just cant see whats the issue.

Lol, like I said, I stopped really doing them/paying attention to them in November

Edit: Just for clarification, not getting them done doesn’t really bother me either. It is somewhat annoying to know that if I’d like to do them, I have to distinctly go out of my way in some cases (not all, but some), but I understand the point of it. I have plenty of things to do to earn myself APs, so I’m not stressing over a the few points from the dailies or monthlies.

I think that was before they changed the monthly so that we can choose 4 things out of a list. I never completed a monthly before that.

A race? Man now I’ve heard everything…

I hate it That you get to many points for Daily quest .. I dont want to get forced to do my dailys because they are boring . Start to do some real challenges where people earn some more Ap for it

Then I have to really ask what are you actually doing in this game. The daily achievement offers a wide variety of activities, 5of those are usually completed almost automatically. Kill x enemies, veterans, champions – don´t you fight in open world in case you play pve. deconstruct x items – don´t you collect and deconstruct for materials? gather x materials – do you run past all resource nodes (which the maps are abundant with), kill x in WvW/pvp – are you avoiding all fights in case you are a pvp player? The only thing that pushes you a bit are things required in a specified area, well, then play your time there, not a big deal with level scaling as it is in GW2. Sorry, I just don´t buy it that anyone has a playstyle that would totally bypass any of those activities.

Yes i run pass by nodes , yes i run by little mobs .. I dont want to kill them .. I play pve for for fun and challenge .
I play hard dungeons , the little minigames and ofc pvp .But i dont get how you can be on the first place in pve by farming daily quest thats my whole problem , what is it that the guy with the most ap in the game done better then me ? OH wait i got the keyword GRINDING .. I want to be a top player but i dont want to grind the easiest thing in the world “kill 10 mobs or farm 20 nodes” WOW .. I want to have AP for some real challenges like be 100 first place in the spirit sactun or be first by not using any other skill then 2 ..Or the last dungeon where you needed to dogde every spell Thats The real AP people should get , and not for grinding

I recommend this all the time, but seriously, I believe you will be happier if you don’t chase any arbitrary goal that ANet puts in front of you. Do what you enjoy and that’s all. If you like getting achievement points, cool, but the minute it’s a grind, stop. Do something else.

You can burn yourself out with an achievement grind (edited not to put poorly remembered words in Vayne’s mouth. :-) )

The rewards are better than I expected them to be, but they aren’t THAT great.

kobi – i dont understand you guys

YOU buy a game and YOU want everything you can get with playing while not playing?

seriously

If you don’t want the chest from AP then don’t do them. This isn’t 3rd grade. Don’t punish everyone for the one.

Yeah. I completed them on day one of the month by running 8 dungeons. I didn’t even know I was doing it until the achievement popped up.

No thats not what i say , I say I want Some real challenges to earn my AP and not "kill 10 mobs " .. I am sick of theese easy grind quest , implement AP witch are hard to get and only if are skilled you get them

Maybe you could skip the ‘easy’ ones, and just do the more difficult ones, like Dungeon Master, or….whatever you feel is challenging enough. =)

For me, Torch Master is challenging, or most of the offhand-weapon ones. Also, plants and giants. And jumping puzzles, I’m not good at those disappearing platform ones. I guess what I’m trying to say is: Difficulty/challenge is in the eye of the beholder. =)

Last time I checked pve made up more than 80% of acheivement points so if you mostly pvp or wvw you are going to be way behind. Then dailies+temporary content make up more than half the the achievement points not sure how that takes skill…

Time to get to 10k and get me that title :x

I guess it makes sense to further your own argument to take “skill” out of my post and forego any other quality like sheer time in game I also mentioned.

Wow… it feels like 2009 all over again…

I feel sorry for the people compelled to change their daily playing habits b/c of this.

We’ve got YEARS ahead of us to do all this crap in. You people know that right?
Every new shiny you think you gotta have right now??….Guess What…
There’s guaranteed to be an even Shinier Version in the future that may be easier to get

It’s kind of strange. I played nothing by PvP for 5 months or so. And I have 6.2k achievement points. Not sure what I did really.

Don’t say that! The entire computer/electronics industry is built on the habits of compulsive upgraders who buy the newest version of everything without ever realizing that it will be obsolete in two months just like the 3,251 nearly identical items they bought before it.

Imagine what would happen if people knew that their shiny new Limited Collector’s Edition Ipad Nano Uranium Mark IV was already obsolete before it was even advertised and that Apple has Mark V – Mark IX stashed in warehouses around the world waiting for sales of the Mark IV to drop so they can get everyone to hand over another $500 five more times before they have to actually come up with something new…

If people actually thought about what they are buying, the entire real-world economy would fall apart!

As far as now vs. later, one still must consider that getting something sooner also allows the owner to thoroughly enjoy what they have over the duration. That is its own reward, I find. I got my first legendary back in November…the time up until this point would not have been as enjoyable without it, because I choose to enjoy things in the moment and appreciate the ones that have passed as well. This is good for me because not all of us may actually have years to do all of this in.

Neve.7134:

I’m sorry, did someone inform you that there is AP to be found in WvW? They were sorely mistaken.

1000 hours might get you around 100 AP.

That said, it’s a shame you can’t enjoy that portion of the game. IMHO it’s the real endgame.

I’d rather they expand other permanent achievements than increase the amount of AP from living stories.

Living stories are already easy AP anyway.
