As quoted from the article:
“We’ll add support so daily achievements will be different each day of the week, which will help drive players to different areas of the world and play together. Later, we’ll also be adding a system that lets you complete a subgroup of achievements to fulfill your daily. For example, if there are 6 daily achievements available, you’ll only need to do 4 of the 6, so you can choose the achievements that you’re most interested in.”
I think this is great. I’ve been grinding the same daily achievements for months now. But I didn’t realize that anyone had actually complained about this, or if this was even an issue.
However, alot of people including me have complained about the Monthly achievements. How as a PvE player we can’t get these because they involve killing other people. There is already a Monthly PvP (which for some reason does not include WvW,) but there is no Monthly PvE. Please stop dehumanizing players by lumping them under “mobs to kill for achievement”. Think there is already a debate going: http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/184816/Vice_President_Bidens_warning_to_the_video_game_industry.php
What happened to: “Community and player relationships are key components to what makes Guild Wars 2 tick, and will be a massive part of the game as we evolve it further.” ?
I really do like most of the changes coming. But making people go into the Mists for reasons such as Map Completion, Legendaries and Monthly achievements still irks me.
P.S.: I actually think this:
“Our shared loot system, dynamic level adjustment system, shared resource nodes, multi-player skill combos, and the ability for every player to revive one another are all examples of key game features that help support this concept of a community-driven experience.”
and this:
“you’re fighting for control of Stonemist Castle in WvW, where each fight can play out differently.”
Are actually contradictory. One says you help each other out, the other says you kill each other (well ok, maybe kill each other with the help of your friends.)
These are not the droid you are looking for, move along… → ESO, FireFall, NW :)
