Guild Wars 2

Dailies is the only thing that keeps me logging in, albeit briefly. I’m spending less time in this game than I ever have right now, and if Anet were looking for a way to alienate their Western playerbase, they’ve done it.

PS: China says hi.

OP isn’t “right”. He has an opinion, one which he’s entitled to. Others like the new options.

I remember the dailies being like this before they seperated pvp and pve, something that back then made me very happy and which I have enjoyed, because I got more options without being forced into something I dislike.
Now it is back where it started… and to me it seems like they first made an improvement just to then take it away again.

Yes dailies can still be done, but as others said, you have to try more. I most certainly am not inclined to try pvp more because of this.

It’s still the same 10-20 minute run in Queensdale, whats the problem guys?

The first few days of the new system (of only 10 activities) I wasn’t very happy, as they used a few new categories that most PvEers would probably not normally cover and would need to really go out of their way to do. Added to the fact that they had removed Daily Gatherer, it made it quite tricky – and VERY grindy – to complete all 5.

However they seem to have improved the system a lot now; Daily Gatherer is back, not every day but most days, and they have improved the categories so they’re much more PvE-friendly that they were initially after the patch.

So while I would have agreed with the OP when the new-style dailies first came out, they are now much better and I no longer have any grindy issues completing them. I can understand that some people were put off at the start, and maybe still have a very negative view of them as a consequence, but really they are totally back to being PvE-friendly now. (I can even still manage to avoid doing Aquatic Slayer lol). And I am a totally non-fractalling, non dungeon-running die-hard PvEer.

They didnt “remove” daily gatherer. There’s only so many PvE achievements they can cycle through each day, and it wont necessarily be the same ones the day before.

Avigrus.2871:

There has been no benefit to the changes that they made… it doesn’t matter if some people still find the daily easy, reducing the options available was a terrible idea.

Bingo. Taking options away is going to anger people, and this one serves no useful purpose. If they are trying to extend the lifetime of daily achieves, just limit the number of points you can get, don’t limit the bloody options.

I wouldn’t say it’s harder, but I’ve found that if you want to do Dailies in a quick PvE run it’s definitely more tedious now.

I have to admit, I read the subject as “I just don’t like doing daylilies…” I don’t like the new structure to the dailies, preferred the old ones.

I’m completely fine with the update except for the removal of daily activity. It was my only motivation to do these and without needing it for a daily I find myself not doing any of the activities anymore. I think they are isolating part of the game that should not be. There is already a rotation of games so many games will be even more ignored than they used to be. I know someone will say “just go play the game if you like it,” but I believe that there are many other players that are forgoing activities that they used to frequent. I miss daily activity and it is the only game mode not consistently in the dailies.

Since the patch I’ve generally found the dailies more reasonable and they generally get completed by doing a dungeon and some events in Cursed Shore. I’m not missing many of the really pointless dailies such as killing 20 underwater ambient creatures.

I’m guessing the dailies only seem hard if you are trying to grind them out every day. If you don’t mind missing an odd one then they don’t seem so bad.

I’m trying to get my daily points every day because I am about 200 points from my next wiggly box. I’m quite excited for it since it will be my first bigger size box. (2500)
