Would this be a viable solution to have more “play your way” variety in the dailies?

I find that the current region specific harvesting and vista dailies are a lot better than than the zone/boss specific world boss/zone event dailies that are in PVE just about every day. When everyone is clumped into 1 zone trying to do events, the events often finish so fast that people don’t get tags, or can’t waypoint/load fast enough, and in the case of the world event… it was more crowded than Tequatl or Wurms yesterday for Maw, like, slowing down computer FPS crowded, which doesn’t normally happen for me. It can also just make you feel like you’re stuck in one zone longer than you’d like to be, if you’re not making it to events on time or just running around looking for events to do.

I feel it’d let people choose what events they want to do more, and spread people out and be less confining if they were regional, like instead of complete 4 events in bloodtide coast, complete 4-5 events in Kryta. Instead of complete the frozen maw, complete a Shiverpeaks Meta event/world boss.

As long as the regions rotate around you shouldn’t end up doing the same things every day then.

It seems like a daily vista, daily harvester, and daily events are going to be every day.. I hope that’s not the case and there are some more categories they rotate out with.

Yeah it’s called them going back to the old set-up and since this new daily system just got released they are still hammer out the dents.

You do know you have more than just 4 daily achievements to choose from.

As for the large swarm of players that show up to do the world boss daily and it in turn slows down your computer or other computers, that’s been happening even before the patch. There has always been a train of players going from one event to the another everyday at any given time.

I’m sure they chose to do it this way so starter zones don’t get overloaded.

They’re separated into 3 distinct categories for a reason. Not everyone wants to play every game mode. Many Spvp’ers don’t want to play WvW or PVE. Many WvW players spend most of their time in WvW, and many of the prior daily categories could be completed in wvw despite being “pve” Some PVE players won’t want to do sPVP or WvW.

As for the zergs, usually, there aren’t so many players at the world bosses, it’s not even half that many. But when it’s a daily there are more players at that one event than I’ve ever seen in one location before aside from 3 100 man zergs colliding into each other in wvw which rarely happens.. and the first southsun legendary karka event that lagged people out and such.

I’ve done tequatl and wurms and wvw and all kinds of world bosses before, but the zergs showing up for particular world bosses since they became a daily category is much larger turnouts than usual.

I suppose Teq and Wurms has the same amount of players on a capped map just those fights require division of groups
