Greetings. This post is a request for a revamp of the daily system.

As one might recall the daily system has changed multiple times over the life of GW2, and the current system is far from perfect.

Dailies can be awarded through certain game modes (PvE, PvP and WvW). This, in it’s own is fine, however with the recent changes, there should be additional splitting in PvE dailies.

Part of these changes is already in-place in the form of Fractal dailies. As there are 5 random fractal dailies that take considerable amount of complete, I can’t see a good reason why these would not be contributing to PvE daily total.

Second area is almost, if not, more important. This is with respect to the HoT areas. Currently PvE dailies are focused exclusively on core game, forcing the people who want to play in HoT but obtain daily AP into going back into core world. Daily system was promoted into ‘get as you want’, so I think a separate set of daily activities should be made for HoT areas.

Thus the proposed daily system will contain 5 separate pools to draw from:
PvP, WvW, PvE HoT, PvE Core, PvE Fractals.

Do fractal dailies not count toward the 3 daily tasks you need to accomplish? My issue is that there’s a whole category for fractals and the pve daily still has “daily fractal” as an option.

Because we can’t be angry about both?

Currently daily fractals do not count towards the 3 daily tasks. I do believe that if they start counting the daily fractal should be removed from the PvE core dailies.

“Daily Fractal” is kept separate because it’s part of a reward track, just like you can do “daily dungeons” for 60 tokens/path. Neither are (currently) intended to be part of dailies.

Unrelated, I think ANet has deliberately kept HoT out of the dailies because there are already so many daily activities within HoT: challenges, hero challenges, meta events, and so on. This also offers incentives to HoT owners to play in Central Tyria, which is a decent goal.

I agree that the setup seems uneven or asymmetric; I don’t agree that it’s an issue ANet needs to address.
