Guild Wars 2

5 dungeons completed
100 events
500 items salvaged
and you need to complete daily (it doesn’t say how much) i guess 10 dailies

so what do you think?
i think it’s pretty easy , you just need 1-2 gold for items salvaged
and time to farm events

no fractals or wvw kills. It’s a new day in Tyria.

Fairly straight forward. I’m not a fan of salvaging as a monthly, but there’s something for everyone in there and there’s no wvw/pvp stuff/fractals so that should please a lot of people in Feb.

Seems absolutely fine and un-intrusive to normal gameplay to me

And I hear Jormag in the backround..so thats the irst 5 events coming up

ye and for the 500 items salvaged you just need to buy 500 white items and 20 basic kits

Guess I gotta get started doing dungeons Been too lazy sofar …

The rest is np.

It will be good encouragement to actually work towards completing all the paths/story modes for the Dungeon Master title. Bummed it will take 10 days, longer i have to wait to see what the Mystic Binding agent is.

I should be able to have this done before the end of the weekend! Well, except for maybe the salvaging one. I doubt I’ll find 500 drops to salvage… (insert tired loot quality statement here)

it’s kinda suprising that it’s only 5 dungeons
so easy

500 salvages are back, which makes me real sad

Another monthly I will not receive. Eventually I would love to receive at least one.

18 salvages a day isn’t that bad.

5 different dungeons or just 5 runs??

I can’t believe that people are complaining about salvages…

Not so bad really, considering I’m working on The dreamer soon, I still need to get some tokens. Events will naturally follow as well for karma grind.

Works for me.

ArenaNet isn’t listening because there isn’t more than one path to completing the monthly — every month it’s either WvW or PvE, not either. We know they can do this because they did it with the Winter’s Day event … it just seems like they don’t care? That is the message anyway.

It just goes to show you that this monthly must be doing something right if that’s all people are complaining about

No Fractals and no WvW. HUGE improvement just with that alone.

Aaaaaaand I started singing “Brand New Day” as soon as I saw your post. Thanks. Thanks a lot. :|

Every other monthly has something you do along the way while playing, last month it was like fractals (done just through playing) wvw kills (done just through playing) something else and events (done just through playing). Now if I want to get this done I have to buy 500 whites and spend 30 minutes salvaging them. So much fun!

Luckily I don’t really care about anything in the laurel vendor enough to do anything about it.

what? do you not salvage whites/salvage items regularly while playing?

No, I can’t be bothered doing that because I can’t see the benefit in a few pieces of mithril. I’d rather just sell them. Time=money too.

I suspect that was actually a calculated move on their part to get some gold out of the economy. Whether or not it will work to any meaningful degree, I can’t say. But I think it’s clever of them.

PS – Spend karma on the lowest tier salvage kits if you don’t want to pay gold for them.

Too bad for you that money =/= laurels.

Oh I don’t mind it being there, just not a fan personally

easy to do over a month, so it’s not a big issue

+1 for no fractals and WvW

Except for those of us who do not have the time or the desire to run dungeons or do fractals. Or do WvW. Or do PvP. There are those of in the game who have yet to get a monthly because we choose to not do whatever it is to get that last portion of the monthly. Or just don’t have the time to do it enough to get the achievement.

Next month’s I believe has dungeon runs. Another month I probably won’t get the monthly because I die enough times that I lose money. Making friends and what not in game (and out of game) is hard for me. And the guild I’m in isn’t active enough to really do a dungeon and finding a guild that is decent for dungeons but won’t force me to be more active than I choose to be is not easy for me (very very very reserved).

You are playing a completely anonymous online game where no one can see or speak to you if you don’t want. Break out of that shell a bit.

Well yeah, I actually really don’t care about laurels cos they don’t give anything good so I doubt I’ll be bothered to do this. I’m really not complaining either, just confused as to why it’s there. It’s inconsistent with the other cheevos.

What I don’t get is the idea behind it, everything else is broad aspects of the game that encourage people to try new things like wvw or dungeons, yet salvaging is a specific thing which benefits nobody, it’s just clicking on things over and over again.

salvaging? i want to play this game, not spend money on kits to stand around wasting more money salvaging them for crap.

what a ridiculous challenge. i also don’t know how many dailies are required, but if it is over 10 then it is in the same league of kittenedness as the salvaging one.

so i just checked and you only need to do 5 days of dailies , really sinple

I do not do dungeons or pvp. I also prefer to not jump, but I do it on days when my hands are working enough to do it. (I have arthritis and I am slow, so I prefer to solo any jumping puzzles I MUST do, so that I am not holding up anyone, and frequently dungeons require jumping…..imagine me in a dungeon with jumps. The entire group being held up while I figure out how to get my hands to work correctly to make a particular tough part—-no thanks.

So. Another monthly passes me by. I am not being forced to do it, yes. But it would be nice to get one. Just one. A year. I could live with that.

I have no interest in dungeons, so that’s kind of a bummer… but I don’t really expect to have the monthly cater to my playstyle either.

Easier said than done and I am more social online than offline. It’s just even though it’s a huge jump, it’s not really enough to make it all that easy.

Awesome no Fotm or WvW, what a beautiful sight that is.

xxx crafting
xxx dungeons/fractals
xxx events
xxx dailys
xxx wvw/pve kills
xxx Fourm posts

Pick 4 how hard would that have been?

That said seeing i have to burden 4 other people with a complete noob whos only dungeon skill is being able to ignore big red circles on the ground which dungeon could a blind man with a one legged guide dog solo?
Perhaps if i do 5 runs of that one no one will notice im a naked corpse near the start.

Perhaps if you do 5 runs you won’t suck so much anymore. Who knows, you might even have a little fun.

No WvW? Nice
No FotM? Awesome
Dungeons? Are you kittening kidding me?
Can we have WvW back plz. Even with the crashes every time a zerg appear or a total lack of skill is really easy to complete but dungeons? With all the segregation? With the policy of Guardian/Warrior only? C’mon

My only problem is the dailies. It seems like a contrived waste of a monthly section to just dedicate it to dailies – there’s already a (very new) pressure to complete them for laurels…

I’m also somewhat puzzled by the decision to put in 5 tiers to this section of the monthly. There’s never been 5 tiers to a monthly requirement in the past, and this kind of looks like an attempt to unnecessarily obfuscate the total amount needed.

this game needs “add 200 players to your friend’s list” tier.

I completed it awhile ago on my ranger. Less time on the forums complaining, more time in dungeons completing, and you can get there too.

Actually, the number of dailies needed is 5 since after completing the daily it was at 20%

Yep, thats right, after completing the daily you get a tracker for the montly.

this month sounds super easy.

heh and they brought salvages back! i love salvaging lol

and wow, if Blackwolfe is correct, just 5 dailies?? :///

i actually really enjoyed the WvW kills. heh

I wouldn’t assume that, actually. Given that the daily tracker uses lazy math for its completion percentage (20, 40, 60, 80, and 100 being the only valid values, incrementing only upon total completion of a category) it’s entirely possible that the monthly uses the same lazy math (incrementing by 1/5 for each tier completed).

I find it funny there are threads discussing chores.

Seriously people, look at what you have been reduced to.

I really hope in the future they add the “choose 4 out of 6” for the monthly as well as daily achievements. They are essentially a reward for playing the game, and this game likes to tout “play the game your way.” Thus, dungeons or PvP(oriented) activities are NOT the way I would play the game…

At least it is not fractals…I might actually convince myself to begrudgingly run the dungeons,

I wish we could have choice between pvedungeoncrap and www kills.
Dungeons are such a pain for me :/

As a PvE person, I’d rather do WvW than dungeons or fractals, no contest.

Wrong, completing 5 events gives you 5% on that and a total of 100 is needed. Same with the salvage, you need 500, 5 = 1% 10 = 2% etc

So yeah, you only need to do 5 dailies to be done with that one.

Greetz (‘-’)/

The monthly could be reduced to kill 1 rabbit and i bet there will still be people complainting.

I love how WvW is no longer in the picture. But ANet mentioned planning on making wvw more rewarding. Can we expect a separate dailies and monthlies for wvw in the future?

Anyway I guess a better way to do the monthlies would be to lay out like 6 objectives, and you only need to finish 4 to complete the monthly?
