Guild Wars 2

It looks like I will start doing WVW ones or something now. Way too much different stuff is being put in there and if you do pve-only you can only skip one of them. Sure, add dungeons and stuff …. but put them in another track rather than pushing other things out.

Not only that but if you did not buy HOT you do not have to do the hot ones. They get replaced with an easier one in central tyria.

Is it just me that feels this way?

I guess it’s a problem for some. I just do the 3 easiest of any of the types and get it over with for the rewards.

Yeah I almost regret having HoT now because of the HoT daily that replaced some of the core game ones. I hate the HoT maps and don’t care to ever go there even though as another person pointed out apparently HoT is more fun after the patch. I just have not had the opportunity to play and find out.

It would be nice if HoT daily was a separate category and didn’t replace some of the core daily. That way people that enjoy the HoT maps have their daily and those that do not like HoT maps but own HoT do not feel like they are being funneled into HoT maps.

More options are always better. In a perfect world the daily would allow players that enjoy their prefered game mode be it PvE core, PvE HoT, PvP, and WvW can do so without feeling like they are being pushed into an area they do not care for. Or they can mix and match if they enjoy a bit of each. I know Anet wants people to try various game modes but let the player decide to do so on their own.

For example there have been times when I did a PvP daily. Not because I like PvP but because the PvE options I enjoy were limited that day. I join a daily “let win” arena get my credit, quick one and done and I don’t go back. It certainly doesn’t encourage me to play real competitive PvP. I think most competitive PvP players are happy for that. They don’t want me on their team.

tl;dr More daily options are better for everyone in all game modes. That way players can do the daily they enjoy instead of feeling like it is a chore. And yes I know there is no requirement to do daily.

It seems odd that these things weren’t taken into account to begin with. Some of them sound like standard MMORPG options. Maybe ANet is going a tad too far trying to make GW2 a non-standard MMORPG.

At any rate, I don’t PVP, I don’t WvW, and I rarely even team (which rules out dungeons; I really ought to try teaming more often, I guess—but with the recent complaints about dungeons….). Soooooooo…I guess I’m missing stuff and don’t even know about it. Hmm.

One note: My computer isn’t great; I can’t even join in open-world boss battles because my framerate drops to 1 frame every 4 seconds. By the time I move a little bit, I’m down, then I’m defeated, waypoint, return, repeat. It’s one of the reasons I don’t try some things—my comp probably can’t handle a lot of it (probably PvP, not sure about WvW).

Note – what follows is a view on PVE only. I don’t play the other modes.

I think it is good that there are now some HoT dailies but I think they should be in addition to the existing ones. I was in the habit of doing the dailies on a lower level toon where possible for a bit of variety and XP but the new bias towards HoT means that most dailies now need a level 80 toon.

So I set off on my main to do the minigame. Double figure deaths later I reached the entry point for it only to find that it was disabled due to the meta. That’s not something I will be doing again. I think there will now be days where I do not complete the “3 pve daily things” task. They just need to add a couple more options to the list each day. Give us a bit more choice.

Anets yearly task .. give us a new worse daily system at least once ever year.
