Guild Wars 2

Since the new dailies came out I have completely lost interest in doing them now. I want to do my dailies but in a more natural way that doesn’t require me to do things that are unnecessary. A crafting daily is definitely not necessary, and shouldn’t be required for people not interested in crafting. Dodge daily? Really? Already we’ve seen complaints about this and absurd behavior from players letting animals attack them in attempt to finish the dodge portion of their daily. It’s silly, cheap and kinda ridiculous to be honest.

Generally speaking, I felt there was nothing wrong at all with dailies or monthlies. Funny now looking at it, my monthly seems easier now than my daily.

So what’s the next daily requirement? You gonna make us dance soon to finish our daily? What other unnecessary things will we be forced to do if we want to complete something that we used to do just fine?

If it’s not broke, don’t fix it ANet. Turn back the dailies and monthlies the way they used to be please.

How is dodging not natural? It’s pretty much a combat requirement.

Yeah thats often the first one i get done O_o

New dailies award laurels AND the other reward. One laurel can give 3 tier 6 mats. Instant ~50-60s. Old daily didn’t give me that.

I’m sold.

With that aside, I actually think the new dailies are easier than before. One fractals run completes 60-80% of the daily, and the remaining doesn’t take much more to complete. Dodging should be something every player should master if they ever want to be good at the game. Crafting? Well, refining 10 mithril ingots only takes so much time…

Are you serious? Jesus people just pick on everything to complain about, what’s wrong with the dodging part? it think its a great addition to get people to start properly learning how to use it. People cheap it by just letting mobs attack? Well worst to them, its their problem, it takes like 10 minutes of normal play to get it done. Crafting part? thats unnecessary yes, but it takes like 10 seconds… The worst really is the underwater daily, rest is fine and a great addition.

Im a guardian playing pve. Dodging is not a requirement lol

Some of us are on tighter schedules than others. Often during the week I have a little time to do a daily and do some exploration to get my map completion. Now I have to go out of my way to craft even though I could care less about crafting, kills a bunch of mobs underwater, because killing them on land wasn’t enough I guess, and I have to purposely get attacked enough to dodge enough times with precise timing to get my daily done.

No need to jump down my throat. The forums are for expressing our concerns, discussion and feedback. I didn’t say anything about the Laurels, those are fine, it’s the things I need to do now, the changes that have been made that didn’t need to be made now making me do things I find silly and so I made the title to poke fun at this.

dailies seem more like a tutorial on how to play the game

take part in events
learn to dodge
dodge those veterans
rez stuff that couldn’t dodge
learn to fight underwater
gather materials to craft with
learn to craft

no it is not a requirement but makes almost all combat faster and less expensive in repair bills. Dailies are also not a requirement to play the game.

If you are not successfully dodging on a regular basis, something is horribly wrong. Seriously, it’s fifteen dodges. FIFTEEN. I get that done within 10 minutes of logging in, MAXIMUM, and that’s when just walking past mobs I’m disinterested in.

Dodging correctly means you have to react rapidly to a specific in game situation. In other words, it is a form of twitch gaming. I’m physically unable to do twitch gaming. It causes me pain. Which means I play classes where you generally do not have a need to dodge, like my ranged ranger or my retalliation guardian. (Seriously, if a longbow ranger HAS to dodge in order to survive, they’re doing something wrong.)

So for me, dodging is a profoundly unnatural and completely undesirable addition for the dailies. And I’m getting VERY VERY tired of the L2P comments.

this- also the whole point of the new dailies were to get people out of LA LFG and into the world- this seems to be working as intended because I see hordes of people out and about actually playing the game.

I can’t believe the negativity surrounding new dailies- they are all part of my regular game- even dancing :P

I am starting to believe that if Anet sent everyone precursors in the mail- some people will complain that they didn’t get the right one- yeesh

Going to state that dodge daily also punishes players on less-than-ideal connections, where you have to pre-emptively dodge because dodging has to be done in a specific window during an attack animation, calculated serverside.

Hello,

There is already a similar thread here, therefore this one is now closed to avoid duplicates.

Thank you.
