Funny how easy this daily is… there are plenty of dead npcs everywhere.

Yeah, exactly. No reason for people to be offing themselves for others to get the daily done.

I don’t know why some are so lazy.

i found it really easy, did both one before and after midnight in about 20-25 minutes.

NEWSFLASH !
Daily rezzer can also be done on NPCs ! ! !

Isnt there that one heart quest right above lions arch where you have to revive seraph soldiers and protect them as they limp back towards the medical station. Tons of revive chances there

Oh, yeah, in the Gendarran Fields over by one of the towns, Nebo, I think it is.

how sad are these dailies making me?

Happy…so I guess negatively sad

Go to disseau plat there’s the area with the miners.. there’s always piles of them.. got the daily in less than 5 min

point is most of the dailys can be done just by playing normal

I complete my dailies over time across the day as I play in Orr, WvW and other places. By the end of a play session, it’s done or nearly done. This hasn’t changed.

I see no issue.

And I could say exactly the same thing pre-patch. But now, for me, that’s changed.

Hence the issue I have with it.

That’s too bad isn’t it? Can’t see why it’s so hard for you to play WvW for an hour and get the thing done. Literally all you had to do yesterday was commit an hour to WvW.

Your suggestion is that I take an hour out of the limited time I have in the evening to game, and spend it in WvW – an area of the game I currently have zero interest in participating in? That is seriously your solution?

(sigh)

Same:)

Good grief. I did most of the daily before I went to work at 6 a.m. at Iron Marches this time. There were plenty of legionnaires and ogres to res there. I didn’t have time to get all the events done and I was missing a couple of enemy types. All else was done in under 40 minutes sadly alone as few people play so early.

The underwater one? go farm some armored scale at frostgorge and you’ll get it in no time.

Yeah, day 2 dailies are nice. Day 1 was a mess. Combo kills were glitching all over the place, spent 1 hour to get 7 then gave up.

That was my solution to yesterday’s Daily. I have no idea about today’s daily.

Sorry to hear you can’t get on as often as you’d like, but MMOs have never been very friendly to those with time constraints. Your grind versus my grind re two different things.

But I see where you’re coming from and I’ll leave it at that?

I think this is the only time I could consider randomly rezzing someone to be trolling someone else.

I personally Love the new dailies. They add a little variety and encourage going out and doing things I might not normally do (ex. underwater combat). While they are a little more out of the way than the normal dailies I enjoy the variety they bring.

Side not gotta say I am also loving all the QQing going on because of a simple change.

Selebrity.7469:

Is it true that u only get one laurel/day/account?

I think its per character, as each can complete a daily. But otherwise yes. Monthlies reward 10 laurels, starting with the Feb Daily

Nope, dailies are account wide, not per character.

Thats kitteny unbelievable! Haha

Celtic Lady.3729:

Black Frog.9274:

If I needed something, I’d craft it.

This is kind of how I feel about the crafting dailies, too. I plan to go ahead and do them because I want the laurels, but the items I’ll end up making will have no real purpose. Now, if they would add drink recipes to cooking, I’d be able to get my daily and do something else useful at the same time. lol

Hint, hint…

I still don’t see the issue. The only thing i can see being different is if a player doesn’t even farm the trees or ore at all. If not, it should be no issue to carry low level farming tools in the allotted slots on a toon and while doing the other dailies (this totally depends on the level are you are doing dailies on as you may need a higher level of farming tools if you don’t see the need to do your dailies quickily in a low level area) and just farm the random tree, ore that you come across.
The tough part in completing the daily is refining the wood/ore into boards/bars to complete the daily.
Here’s the part that really cuts me up :-) Tossing the refined goods onto the tp if I am so against any kind of crafting that I wont personally use the items.

I think the new dailies are fun. Although it was pretty funny when I saw other players didn’t realize NPCs could be rezzed.

emikochan.8504:

This is just part one, As was said repeatedly on the forums.

But why in the name of all things holy would they only implement something like this in parts when the changes were clearly meant to be part of a whole and never designed to be implemented in parts because that would be too stupid (if you beleive the OPer’s logic as I do and ther OPer already states that he knows Anet is releasing this in parts, that’s one of his premises!). What was the reason for releasing the worst parts now and not just waiting until the whole thing was ready? Anet’s decision denies all rational sense.

New dailies are fine. They just need to work! Good gosh reports from various sources and my own personal experiences say that it’s quite a mess with some new daily types not working/triggering.

Nothing is ever good for you people is it? kittening hell.

Yes, I sort of see your point. I’m just not sure how it relates to the quote from me that you actually used. lol

I can’t believe some people would complain about the crafting daily… It’s literally easy as your gathering daily. In fact, it’s A LOT less time consuming than all the other dailies…
Just crazy. It’s like saying you want that removed in favor of other dailies which take more time (like the kill dailies).
All you need is a craft, and those are free pretty much lol.

Syktek.7912:

Sorry to hear you can’t get on as often as you’d like, but MMOs have never been very friendly to those with time constraints.

Back in WotLK I could do the daily dungeon in a half hour or less. And which being all I intended to accomplish for the day i would log off.

The old one always required multiple different mobs. If you are in orr you need to leave because risen are classed only as risen. Could be a chicken, ape, eagle whatever they where considered 1 type of mob. So the old system also ruined it for you?

kenshinakh.3672:

Yep, it’s free. But no one is worried about how much it costs to equip a craft. lol

maddoctor.2738:

Not where I am. So I have to stop what I’m doing and make a trip to some other area to get the dead NPCs. Then I have go back where I want to be…

It’s not particularly fun. What it is, is a 20-minute waste of my time when I would have killed all the (60) enemies necessary in what I was doing through the ordinary and natural pace of the game (Orr event farming) and gotten the sweet, fat loot my 200+% MF build would have earned me.

At least the healing isn’t any worse, in this case, than the stupid ‘15-kinds of enemies’ garbage that basically forced you out of Orr every day to run around some other area killing bugs and trash mobs 20 levels underneath your level because Orr had all of three or four enemies. Though it is equally stupid as 15-kinds (and we still have it, btw, though it seems to be 13 now).

Worse than this is the new dodge daily that isn’t registering most of time I use it to dodge ordinary melee attacks. For whatever reason, it seems that ordinary melee attacks, even when dodged, don’t hit the timing window for recording as a dodge even though I took no damage.

So I had to go find slow-attack and AoE attack enemies and spend ten minutes dodging them. At least in Orr, those are common — grubs, tar elementals, most of the risen.

But if you’re going to have a mechanic in the game, it needs to work.

Sorry, Iv’e been randomly following the thread while at work and I think I was aiming at teh quote imbedded in yours while also thinking back to some of your points in earlier posts :-)

ArcTheFallen.7682:

I didn’t get a single one for an hour’s worth of trying yesterday. Despite running in large Orr DE zergs. And that was using the Poison Field with my grenade engineer and trying pistols and even my rifle as projectile finishers.

I’ve also had issues with regular melee attacks being dodged and not registering today. Fortunately, I quickly figured out a solution. But it was annoying as all heck.

Worst case scenario…

“OK guys, you all wait at the bottom of this cliff, I’ll brb…”

Ah, okay. No problem. lol

That’s pretty sad, nice screenshot. I had to let an NPC I was supposed to be protecting die over and over to get the achievement. Probably not how the DE was intended to be played. I may have felt guilty about it if I wasn’t suffused with anger at Anet for ruining the dailies.

Secret Bonus Area: Iron Marches

The heart in the bottom right corner requires you to raise logger NPCs that have been attacked by ghosts, just stand there and watch the skulls pop up on the map, it’s pretty much a corpse farm.

I’m Nero, I got a laurel …

… and hardy.

where’s the smilies ’round here?

I must say the new daily achie is a real disappointment.

Collect stuff : fine. it’s there anyway on your travels. Kill stuff : fine. you meet mobs everywhere. Kill different stuff : that was already boring in the old setup. I found that in some zones it was rather hard to find 15 different types since you didn’t meet them easily and jumping to other zones just to get a kill was rather annoying. Do Events : fine. They are everywhere so you meet them anyway.

But those new ones are insane : Dodge…really? I prefer to die where I stand. Dodging is not my favourite thing to do. I do it sometimes but now I’m forced to get upclose and personal with the mobs just to finish my daily? Revive : another rather stupid choise. I’m a friendly guy. And I’ll help people when I meet them. Preferably before they get killed. But now I must first let them die and then I can rezz them. Hurray!

Did you hire some wow-designers/managers or so because those new ons make no sense at all. That’s grinding and forcing people into a play style. Not at all what GW2 was supposed to be.

Dailies should encourage play. Everyone who plays an hour should have them completed without thinking about it. That’s no longer the case.

I seriously hope someone gets this back on the right track.

LOL Love the comic relief. If I’m lucky later and I can get my dodges, I’ll have a laurel, too.

Now I will have to say I have not come across the “Combo Killer” daily yet, maybe when I get home ( I thought someone said they deactivated that one?)
What does the explanation of the daily read?
Also I think I read in this post that there is a kill with allies type of quest where you have to kill with others? Sounds like a couple trips to the Maw can finish that one :-)

I’ll agree with some here, the dailies seem like a chore..a checklist you have to get done, things you have to go out of your way to do that you wouldn’t normally do in the course of gameplay. It seems grindy to me.

I had never paid attention to them before, but yesterday everyone was talking about them so I gave it a shot. After several hours of my normal play I had hardly any of them. I spent several more hours purposely grinding them out…doing stuff I don’t really enjoy doing.

I feel sorry for those who may only have an hour or so of playtime a day.

It was yesterdays, and it’s been mentioned by devs to be bugged. It did not work as intended, as the combo didnt always count, so they removed in in favour of dodging.

The new dailies are fine… except for the bugged combo field yesterday. They removed it since it wasn’t working though. So it’s good.

Just use your brains a tiny bit. They made the dailies more interesting and less of “kill and gather”.

For dodge daily, dodge right at the moment the enemy attacks. If you see the words Dodge popup, then that counts as a dodge. Also, note that it isn’t a dodge if you move out of the way of the attack.

Other than that, crafting daily works perfectly with the gathering daily and it’s the easiest one. I don’t get why people whine about being “forced” to craft. Well, you know what?? I don’t like being forced to kill 60+ NPCs, so that’s a nice alternative.

My current daily is for kill variety, healing, dodge, gathering, and events.

The one previously last night had the combos, but they weren’t working properly and were removed.

LOL Reminds me of Blazing Sazzles….We Welcome you with this Laurel…and Hardy Handshake…..

I don’t know what “play” means to people for this game, but the dodging and healing one will come naturally if you “play” the game. Go back to FB if you are looking for a social media.

That was mine last night :-) Went fast
Dodging was a little annoying at first but it really helped me with timing them better.

Hurray!

Dodging is one of the fundamental skills of GW2 combat, and a lot of people don’t know how to do it properly. This is why so many people complain about dungeons, etc. I can see how it’s really irritating for people who play mainly ranged though.

You can rez dead NPCs. They count. Just head to an area with lots of NPCs, there’s bound to be a bunch dead everywhere.

Honestly, not everyone’s going to be able to complete time-limited achieves. The dailies are mostly pretty easy, and there needs to be something to teach people how to fight properly. The forums were getting flooded with CombatSucks!, WhyIDie and L2Play threads.

I think the point of dailies has been and always will be just something to do, something to log on and complete. For this I love them. I got bored of the exact same dailies every single day.

I love that they now have a rotation and hopefully they will add more and really switch it up. Hey if something is too hard or annoying then simply just don’t do it. The daily will be different the next day.

That’s the real problem here. The prior dailies were easily completable in a one hour window, with or without grinding (i.e., they could be completed in an hour of normal gameplay). Some of the details of the new ones require additional extraordinary measures which can increase that time estimate substantially.
