Guild Wars 2

It must have been years since the OP played, since dailies specific to Ascalon, etc have been in the game for a really long time. Further, the new daily login rewards offer close to the same rewards we used to get for both dailies & monthlies — a few things are even better in the new system. The only big thing missing from the (not very) new dailies is achievement points.

I think it’s reasonable that we be asked to travel Tyria to get the new rewards.

The old events were better and had more variety.

Kill ambient creatures.
Do a costume brawl
salvage 10 items.
Kill aquatic animals.

Low level players can not do fractals, Jormag the new system always ticks me off even though the rewards are ok

I never realized doing three things out of a list of 12 was such a drama… I’ve still had days where I thought “meh, can’t be bothered with any of this”, but as it happened, the only consequence was that I didn’t get 10 achievement points that day.

I agree, all i want is the 10 points .Some dailies don’t belong with each other
How can you compare harvest 5 lumbers to doing a set of fractals, the time gap is huge between them or
Spend 25 honor or capture a keep , Dafaq?
And they all contribute +1 to the set no matter how absurdly different they are -_-.

I liked the old dailies because now that they only have so many rotations of the same daily over and over, the maps get insane and for the daily events at location it is so hard to actually get events done because people zerg out so by the time I see an event pop up on my map I either miss it or just make it. I miss the jumping puzzles and killing bunnies/frogs for my daily :/

The issue isn’t that I don’t know how to get there, it’s the fact that I can’t get the daily by doing things I would have done anyway, I have to go out of my way to do them.

Did you read yourself? QQ I can’t have the daily reward for free? Oh wait you do with Login Reward.

QQ I can’t get the AP for free.

The daily AP has a cap. Assuming you’re focusing on AP, which you’re sort of not.. if you’re whining about doing dailies.. then skip it for a day. If you don’t intend to be playing by the time you’d naturally meet the cap.. then.. what does it matter if you get that 10 AP today or tomorrow?

Luckily, low level players don’t have to do fractals or Jormag. Dailies on an account with only low-level characters will never ask them to go to maps beyond their level or do fractals. If we’ve got a daily in Orr, then a low-level player might have one in Metrica Province instead. My daughter just got her own account a couple of weeks back, and her dailies (her “oldest” character is level 17 I think) are mostly totally different from the dailies my old account has.

Once you’ve got an 80 on your account you will get high-level dailies, too, but then you’ll always have at least one character of the appropriate level for that content anyway.

They not only contribute +1 to the daily completion, but also give rewards by themselves, ranging from a 5%-of-level experience scroll plus some logs of wood to pristine fractal relics plus tomes of experience. Especially with the more involved dailies like fractals or keep capture, the +1 to daily completion is just a small part of the reward you get for doing that daily.

And?
It’s 10 AP. Pointless as it can be, what does it matter? I mean I’m not saying they shouldn’t remove AP from dailies, I agree, but it’s a problem for later once more pressing issues are resolved.

It’s true that’s not a big deal, it’s just AP. But it doesn’t matter that the daily lack choices, sometimes it does some weird stuff like 2 fractals or 2 engineer wins limiting even more the choice if you don’t do these specific things.

But the difference in term of effort between some of them, I don’t mind. The reward for a harder daily is usually higher anyway so this balance out. If you are only looking for the AP then yes the reward isn’t balanced, but more choice of daily would fix that for you.

Also keep in mind that some people like AP. I have a little competition with my friend over this and this motivate us both, which is a good thing. New players are often discrimanted when they have low amount of AP and daily is one of the best way for them to get more. I agree that the discrimination is stupid, but it exist and daily help new player have a better experience of the game, so it’s important for them to get easy access to daily.

This is my objective opinion from someone that have no problem with completing daily because I play PvP with 6 differents profession so I can always do my daily in 15min in a PvP match while having fun.
