I can’t believe Devs gonna put another daily in the game…..

Look your leaderboards and look how many points those players are making everyday…

There is a competition to be on top, I spend 4hours per day to do all daily, this is boring and sux, but I want to do because I want to do more points that other players, this is enough , don’t put more daily at the game before you remove some others.

Sorry if you don’t agree, but I’m doing all daily past 5months and I’m still on 516rank. So I know what it is do all daily everyday, do living world and try to get some time to have fun.

PLZ, don’t put more daily at the GAME, PLZ!!!

ps: sorry about my english. English isn’t my main language.

For anyone who is confused, this thread seems to be referring to changes being made to PVP achievements on Dec. 10th. See this article for more info:

https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/player-vs-player-rewards-roadmap/


I’m fairly astonished by people on the achievement leaderboards, because it doesn’t sound at all fun to me. I’d rather they give more options for completing the daily than worry about completionists having difficulty knocking off every single achievement, every single day.

(It’s not a perfect system, but, barring some major changes, it’s too preposterous to worry about.)

guys, all top550rank do all daily everyday, this is like about 17 – 20 points per day. Ask for anyone who do that if they are happy to do that, I prefer a hundred times to do liadri at hard mode, and be a smaller % of ppl do get that points. well, this if my opnion, you don’t need to agree with that.

I just do 5 things total (either pve or pvp) to complete the daily and I’m fine from there.

@op: Nobody cares about the AP ranking, if you arent the first, then nobody cares…at all. Sorry to break it down to you. (some people dont even care about he #1). All the rankings are used is to see which one is that person with the highest [achievable] AP score and see how far away from it you are.

I haven’t looked at the AP Leaderboards since they were first released. I’m not sure how prestigious having your name on there is, when many people have no idea who that is, nor will likely encounter them.

Especially, when said place on the Leaderboard comes with such distress and lack of enjoyment. Why voluntarily do something you find distasteful? I will never understand. =(

More dailies are great. They should also add weeklies. Faster achievement rewards.

Asking for them to remove dailies because you can’t keep up with the competition is a little funny. It’s like going to a PvP tournament and demanding that last year’s winner plays without a mouse because you deserve a chance.

I was rank 96 a few months back but now am at 256 what has changed? What I found you are less enjoying the game when you are achievement hunting added to this you have limited time to get the LS achievements which is another pain. It feels we are being pigeon holed to grind.

Now I just do my daily laurels then I move on doing my normal stuff. In about another 3-6 months i will be around rank 700+ and frankly I dont care nor should you.

At some point the pain becomes too much and it is time for a radical detox. Namely, qutting the game. I am sure you are going to retort that nobody cares and anyone is welcome to quit at any point in time. And you will be right. But consider the group of players with OCD who take the “everything or nothing” approach to a game. If achieving “everything” on that scale will start to destroy your out-of-game life, dont you think that besides a person in question having some issues (OCD is an issue), also the game tailored in such way is not “working as intended”? You could also say that cigarettes are 100% working as intended and all that is bad in them is a fault of people who are smoking them. But really? I would not share such approach. Corps who produce and do everything to sell as much of their cigarettes as they can are not fine. That being said, system which in some way encourages you to spend half of each day grinding your one-time-only dailies (hey look, you will gain more AP and rewards!) is bad. If it is not designed with some moderation, it becomes bad like a drug and the only cure for a drug is to stop using it for good.

I’m sympathetic to people who legitimately feel a strong compulsion towards being a completionist; I know not being able to act on a compulsion can be very distracting, stressful, and aggravating. However, I’m not sure how much “saving people from themselves” needs to be designed into the game.

An “everything or nothing” approach to the game just isn’t a reasonable ambition. It’s too big, and rewards players for too many different things, to go full blast on all sides all the time. That’s not strictly a bad thing, because I can play the way I want (say, never doing PvE or WvW, or never doing dungeons, or skipping the Living Story to raise alts, etc.) but if I want to do everything, that is going to end up including some things I don’t like (but that others do,) or, especially in the case of dailies, too much content to reasonably take in all at once.

For an alternative to the cigarette metaphor: Just because Netflix gives me a bajillion shows to watch doesn’t mean I need to actually watch all of them. Even if I scale it down to trying to watch everything I enjoy on TV, that’s still too much TV to be healthy. There’s simply too much game to reasonably do everything. I don’t think that’s the expectation, even if we do get rewarded for it.

If someone can’t enjoy the game because they can’t complete it all, the game isn’t working as intended, but it’s an unfortunate side effect of other parts of the game that are intended. There’s not a perfect answer on this one.

Personally, I hope they keep putting more daily/monthly options. I only do the ones I like and that’s it. If they’re not fun, then I don’t do ‘em. If they keep adding more then hopefully I’ll find more I like.

I’m not sure about capping the points. I mean, if someone has the drive to do as many as possible, then why should we hold them back? Why shouldn’t they be rewarded?
Of course, a lot of places cap peewee football games nowadays. Maybe it’s the same thing? Maybe. I dunno.

Look at it this way, OP. If you grit your teeth and power on, perhaps more people in the top 500 will feel as you do and drop out, finally allowing you to claw your way up to the top.

Spending hours each day grinding Dailies is the price for being at the top of the Leaderboards. It’s what showcases true dedication.

Leaderboards are “content” for people who want to throw massive amounts of time at a game and have it mean “something.” They’re designed for a particular demographic, one which has more time than anything else. If you’re having trouble keeping up, they aren’t for you.

Agreed, it’s getting ridiculous. After a couple month long grind of doing most dailies every day, I finally inched my way into the top 1000 yesterday. But with all these living stories and ridiculously grindy WvW achievements and now a new set of dailies, its going to take ages every day to retain a spot. Guess I’ll just take a screenshot and give up. Probably for the best, the achievement grind is like heroin once you get hooked.

I think what they should do is keep the current system of having lots of dailies to choose from but cap the achievement points at a relatively low number like 5 or 8. So once you’ve hit that you can still do the achievement but won’t get any points.

Most people won’t care about the cap because at most they’ll lose the odd point here and there and the obsessive leaderboard fanatics can stop grinding every single daily for a few extra points and then complaining that they’re doing it.

As I am one of the Top AP-grinders I really understand those concerns. I can understand why many people shake their head and point their finger at us…
But please guys, all those posts with “if you can’t keep up, then don’t do it”/“the problem lies with you – not with the game”/etc. really don’t help us.
Everybody is different and plays games differently

At the most part we are completionists – it’s our mentality to play games. It’s not that I want to brag about what I have achieved and even look down upon the rest. I am even getting every achievements in SP-games and doing it to 100% – that’s my way of enjoying a game. If I miss something it really gets to me… (to the point of not having fun anymore).

We just want to “cry for help” as it’s too late to change our playstyle – we just ask to ease our load a bit. I really enjoy the game, but as described above – in a way it’s “all or nothing”. I think if I miss too much I might consider leaving the game for good. There are many games on the shelf that want to be played.

So let’s not discuss how you can’t understand us and nobody cares about leaderboards anyways. Please keep the discussion constructive.

We desperatly want to enjoy the game, but with every AP added it becomes more of a chore.
We just want a CAP on daily Achievement-Points – that’s all there is to it and i really think it’s a valid request!

I dont collect AP for the purpose of leaderboard. In fact, I was doing AP long before leaderboard was even announced. Even more so, I would throw some money at Arena for not only to remove those leaderboards and never look back, but also to hide AP values from other players so that only you can see how much you got. Collecting AP is a playstyle. One of many. Its not better or worse from any other playstyle. Whatever suits you best. That being said, bloating dailies more and more is hindering this playstyle. People who like AP have some valid concern here. Mocking those concerns is not helpful at all. I dont downplay concerns of people representing playstyles which I dont take part in. For example I dont give a kitten’s behind about my rank in PvP ranking or future ladder system. But I understand that for some people PvP rank can mean everything. Try to be more open towards how other people are playing and trying to enjoy this game.

I used to really chase these points and it is in deed boring and mind numbing and I really started to hate the game. Still not as bad as wow dailies but getting close.

I was unhappy over an update and stopped trying to get these points. I discovered that while I was happy to not chase them that the truth was I chased them because there is nothing else for me personally to do in the game.

Now I log in, do my 5 and log out. Sad because soon enough I won’t even log in except on Tuesdays every 2 weeks to see if the patch is even worth my time. As of late it hasn’t been.

I have hopes AN will make the game interesting again but I am losing hope and faith.

I wanted to get all achievements done in the past, not due to the points though.

Luckily I missed out on some Living Story Events … freed me from the vicious circle a while back ^^

I guess an AP limit to the PvE Daily would be okay to live with, though it has helped me get to the next Achievement reward once before logging off.

To be real fair to all: If a limit to the max possible APs through a daily were introduced, the points gained through the extras should also be taken away (if possible). Just like they did with the salvage achievement.

I usually only do my 5 required dailies to finish it and any other daily that I might finish while having fun is a bonus. Except this. Sometimes I do dailies I wouldn’t normally do just to push me over the edge for the next level…

This.

AP hunting is a minigame some people (like me) enjoy and are extremely commited to. I think it is legit to express our concerns about the changes Anet announced to that minigame, just like a dedicated PvP player will discuss the balance changes. Since Anet is promoting this minigame through the leaderboards, I think they shouldn’t ignore that always increasing the number of daily achievements (from 5 at launch to 22 starting 10th Dec.) does not promote a healthy competition.

Setting a cap to the daily AP would be a good solution imo (something like 10AP/day from dailies, either Pve or PvP). Since a very large majority of players dont bother to do their daily achievements after getting the chest, a cap to the daily AP would almost only impact the AP grinders, the very same player that are asking for it.

The only other consequence I can think of is players that want to get their next achievement chest quickly and would have to wait one or two more days providing they dont have any other way to get fast AP (quite unlikely if they’re not themselves AP grinders)

chuckle This boils down to ‘I want it, but I don’t want to work for it.’ Plain and simple, if you want it, put in the time and effort. If you don’t want to do it, then you obviously don’t want it badly enough.

This is the same as a student complaining that they should get an ‘A’ simply because they attended class, though they didn’t bother doing any of the assignments. Or someone that feels they deserve a promotion, though the rest of their team is carrying the person’s dead weight.

If you feel you are ‘working’ while playing the game, quite simply you are doing it wrong. I am not trying to insult, but take a step back and think about it logically. What other “game” would you play if it felt like work? Simply, you wouldn’t. Games are not intended to be jobs, but the only person that can decide how to approach your game play is you. It is you that is making the decision to turn your play into a job, instead of letting it be enjoyable, because you are making the decision on how you opt to play. No one is telling you that you have to do all the dailies, hell no one is saying you have to do any of them. You choose to, for some arbitrary reason which you justify to yourself. The only person that can change that is you. Do not make the game hold you hand and make your choices for you, or we will end up with more crap like time gated materials.

What next, someone requesting that the game impose a time limit for us because it’s not fair that some people can play 8 hours a day while others can only maybe play 1 or 2? No thank you.

Don’t look at me like that. Whatever you’ve heard, it’s probably not true.

More daily - are you kidding me ?

I would not care for a cap on Daily Achievement tasks. I enjoy doing the ones I want to, for the points I get, and ignore the ones I don’t care for. Not sure why my play-style is any less valid. If doing too many tasks is causing distress, beside the fact that that would be against the ToS, don’t do them?

As I am one of the Top AP-grinders I really understand those concerns. I can understand why many people shake their head and point their finger at us…
But please guys, all those posts with “if you can’t keep up, then don’t do it”/“the problem lies with you – not with the game”/etc. really don’t help us.
Everybody is different and plays games differently

At the most part we are completionists – it’s our mentality to play games. It’s not that I want to brag about what I have achieved and even look down upon the rest. I am even getting every achievements in SP-games and doing it to 100% – that’s my way of enjoying a game. If I miss something it really gets to me… (to the point of not having fun anymore).

We just want to “cry for help” as it’s too late to change our playstyle – we just ask to ease our load a bit. I really enjoy the game, but as described above – in a way it’s “all or nothing”. I think if I miss too much I might consider leaving the game for good. There are many games on the shelf that want to be played.

So let’s not discuss how you can’t understand us and nobody cares about leaderboards anyways. Please keep the discussion constructive.

We desperatly want to enjoy the game, but with every AP added it becomes more of a chore.
We just want a CAP on daily Achievement-Points – that’s all there is to it and i really think it’s a valid request!

A thousand times this. I fully support limiting the earnable daily AP, and have for quite a while now.

REJOICE! Dwayna hath had her mercy on us; her battered and beaten, tired and taxed.
For we have held fast our ground and our loyalty to Tyria each and every day…
And it is time the Six show their blessings. Freedom for ALL doers of great and wondrous things!
