Guild Wars 2

I’ve read the new “state of the game” and think it’s very exciting. I’ve played the game for months and enjoyed my time here.

One thing I am very tired of.. For the past three months we’ve had to complete X fractals per month for the completion.. Enough is enough! Change this out please!

" Our goal will be to use our existing reward systems and build new ones that are fun and exciting that step away from the stale gear grind reward systems you see elsewhere."

With this being said, why are you forcing us to do the exact same grind month after month? I dislike the fractals. They are not fun. So please, STOP MAKING IT A MONTHLY REQUIREMENT!

Remove the wvw kills as well then. I don’t find wvw fun at all. Some people DO find fractals fun. Do them or don’t. It’s optional.

Did you see them mention that now you’ll be able to chose the activities that you’ll do for the monthly?

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.

You’ll be able to skip fractals and I’ll skip WvW kill requirements. Problem solved

I agree with the OP. I think they should mix it up. I only got a fractals monthly once. Personally, I think fractals are the worst thing to happen to GW2.

Well, that same blog post also said they’re retooling dailies to function more like the monthly ones, in that they’re going to guide you to content around the game.

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.

And didn’t see anything in there about making monthlies less of a chore, either. So it doesn’t sound like they’re fixing achievements in that respect, they’re actually making them a bit more obnoxious to obtain.

Which I guess I understand since this game is no longer “Whose Line Is It Anyways?” when it comes to points, but it’s still a bit disappointing.

did you know that when you set the time on your comp ahead ( like 1 month or 2)
you can see that monthly?
just by looking at that, this month (JAN) was the last month with fractals
and feb gets the exp( 255k exp withouth dieing)
and salvaging

You realize those are probably just the defaults right? WvW kills, Events, Salvaging and exp without death were the very first monthly in August.

Not sure why people have issues with the monthly. I completed the January one on 3rd of January. It got me really involved in both dungeons and WvW, which previously I hated, now I love them. Thats what the weekly and monthlys should be about. Getting people involved in activities that they otherwise wouldn’t. Promoting players not to do just one or two things. It stops players from grinding and gets players out there exploring all the things there is to do inside Tyria and out.

They’re not hard, they’re tedious. Being forced into WvW and Fractals every month gets tiring. People just want variety to the monthly. Doing the same thing for 6 MONTHS is boring. How about instead of fractals they add dungeons in there again?

Oh now that’s awesome! I’d much rather do metas or some other grouping of events for my monthlies!

I thought it was going to be along the lines of do 4/6 like for the future daily achievements for future monthlies. To me that makes a lot of sense and gives some freedom and variance while still having some randomness…and it provides a buffer in case part of the monthly achievements are acting buggy…I’m one gamer certainly fond of buffers

Its around 1 hour a month of playing fractals. I hardly consider that tedious. And do ask me about people who don’t WvW, I don’t have a high opinion of them.
