Guild Wars 2

Why do I need to do pvp to finish the monthly pve quest?
I only need to kill 50 more world invaders to finish the monthly quest but pvp in this game is a joke.
Why doesnt anet just make the PVE monthly quest pve only.
I cant be bothered playing wvw for so long its literally the worst feature ever existed in gw series.

I believe there is going to be a fix for this soon. Once they change how the monthlies are done to where you chose 4 of the 5 otions kind of thing and I am sure you will be able to opt out of the PvP aspect

Why do I need to do pvp to finish the monthly pve quest?

1. There are no quests in this game.

2. The monthly achievement, which is what I’m going to assume you are trying to talk about, requires people to play WvW.

3. Ergo, if it requires players to play WvW, it’s not a “monthly pve” anything. It’s the monthly PvE & WvW achievement.

4. If you don’t want to fulfill the conditions required for the achievement, don’t get said achievement.

Ahh – my favorite rant. If you finish the daily every day of the month then wouldn’t that be the monthly? Duh. That is much fairer than the current random crap we have to do now.
And it is supposedly PVE – so why not keep it just PVE. WvW is not PVE, dungeons are not PVE, Fractals are not PVE.

the monthly achievement has never been defined as being “pve”.

the daily/monthly achievement exist to encourage player to diversify their game play and to try out parts of the game they might not normally encounter.

If you can’t even come up to kill 50 players (which shouldn’t take more than 2 hours if you’re bad) then there is something wrong.

You have an entire month to do this

In general I’m with the OP on this. There are people who play PvP almost exclusively, and others who prefer to stick with PvE – while I understand the underlying intention of having everyone try all modes, at the same time it makes lots of people spend time on activities they don’t particularly enjoy. In a way, I feel it’s almost unfair to WvW people – not only I’m seriously bad at it, bad enough that my presence is probably detrimental to general “war effort”, but I don’t really care about it at all; running around and slowly collecting required kills feels much like a chore and I really can’t wait to be out of there.

This said, so far I’ having most difficulties with PvE part of Jan monthly; as I never bothered much with jumping puzzles, I decided now is the time to correct that and went through four, completed them, got the treasures and relevant achievements, only to find out that only two of them registered on my monthly meter. I wonder if I missed something or it’s just plain old bug?

You can get 50 wvw kills in one night wvw-ing. You might even like it.

Which 4 did you do?

btw: for the monthly achievement, you don’t even need to finish them, just “find” them.(the trigger goes off when you enter what it considers the start of the puzzle)

How do you get 25 in an hour? I’ve done a little bit of WvWvW (not much, just a couple of times up there), and in an hour I usually die like 7 times and barely manage 5 kills. And that’s on an 80 Guardian with full Exotics and some Ascended gear.

It just seems to be Run with Zerg > Crowd of Enemies > Kill/Die > Rinse Repeat. Would like to get the monthly but it would take me frickin forever.

Tips welcome (NOT ‘L2P lolelevenzzz’).
