Guild Wars 2

I do not like the minigame rotation. Can we get rid of it? I want to play Keg Brawl whenever I like, like I used to be able to. Some of the minigames in rotation I only play for the achievementpoints, because I find crab tossing frustrating and southsun survival boring.

I am really annoyed by the fact that keg brawl is only on Sundays, the day where I usually do a lot of other stuff like guild missions. At the very least randomize the daily activities so they are not always on the same day.

You’re not alone in your love for keg brawl. There was another post like this not long ago, and though it had a bit of support…it wasn’t that much.

The problem is the kind of people that generally enjoy minigames isn’t necessarily the biggest percentage of the population. As more and more minigames come out, the population gets divided more and more.

I used to play Keg Brawl and the hours I played (I’m in Australia) very often there’s be no one there but me or me and one other person.

Anet, in my opinion, it trying to create a situation where there’s always people when you want to play.

When Keg Brawl was a stand alone game every day, most days I couldn’t get enough people for a game at the times I play…now there’s always a game going even at odd hours.

In other words, this change made it harder for you to play Keg Brawl, but easier for me to play.

Maybe make the rotation random at least, so its not always Sunday which has keg brawl.

well keg brawl seems unenjoyable currently. Too many people afking for the daily achievement or stacked. Its not very enjoyable if half your team is doing nothing. Played several rounds today and most ended with 0-3 vs 11. Only one of them was somewhat even and enjoyable.
I even met people purposely trolling the game by turning the keg in to the opponents NPC instead of our team.

Vayne’s post is a poor representation of Keg Brawl and the other activities at best, and a detriment to any hope of seeing things change at worst. As long as ArenaNet accepts that apologist sentiment as feedback, things are never going to get better. He’s pushing a tired, metric-driven argument that has no critical analysis of the condition of the game, it’s player base, and the actions ArenaNet has or has not taken since the game has launched.

I’m largely in agreement with you, OP. I like Keg Brawl, as evidenced by my signature. I was even willing to create a guild that served (very successfully) as a roster for people who also liked Keg Brawl and wanted easy access to finding people to play with if and when they wanted. But I don’t like Southsun Survival. And I do not like either Crab Toss or Sanctum Sprint as they exist in the daily activity rotation. There’s no community dialogue, no leader board, no way to even play or compete with friends. No social or competition tools whatsoever to bring out the best parts of free for all game types.

At least when Keg Brawl was the only activity and barely played, I could somewhat guarantee getting into a match with my friends. I far prefer that over the daily-afk’ers, and severely lowered competition level that makes Keg Brawl so incredibly boring to play now.

Possible solution:

- Keep the Daily activity rotation and the NPCs in LionsArc.
- Allow Players to play the Activities whenever they like, if they walk to a “local” NPC -
this do not yiel (all of) the Archievement Points.

I’ve already suggested that, but yeah, I agree, it’s a FAR better solution than to make me not allowed to play the activity I liked to play on my leisure time for 6/7ths out of the whole year.

can anyone give me advice on the keg recovery achievement? with 23 of 500 its by far my lowest achievements on my task to becoming a kegmaster even thought I probably played over 200 rounds.

When your teammate has th keg, pretty much stay as close to him as possible. Especiwlly when he’s knocked down because someone for sure is gonna try to knock it out of his hand. If you’re rrally trying, you can get 3 or 4 recoveries per game.

However, its not the most enjoyable way to play. I got it eventually playing normally but it, alongside assists are for sure gonna take the longest amount of time to get regarding the conditions of the keg bral matchup
