Guild Wars 2

Can anyone confirm this? I’m too afraid to try it out on my own.

I have skipped every new daily! Feeling better than ever.

(so okay, I haven’t logged in after the patch yet. :P)

I skipped yesterday as well. Still alive. :P

I’ve skipped most of my dailies since the patch. I skipped some before the patch, too. What’s the point of this thread? Because I’ve never had a problem skipping dailies before.

I skipped my dailies yesterday and I woke up dead this morning.

RIP.

don’t do it. You might regret 1 year from now.

I have skipped those new dailies aswell!!!

I will only do dailies if I like them, this won’t force me to do things I don’t like. If I feel that I’m not earning Achievement Points at a reasonable rate, maybe I’ll just quit the game. No, not only because of achievement points, but because this is yet another nail in the “play the way you want” coffin.

i’ve skipped all the pvp dailies since revamp, and some of the wvw ones..
have completed all the non-fractal pve dailies D: i’m such a horrible person

you guys are scaring me…Are you sure this is allowed? I feel like there must be some punishment..THERE MUST BE SOMETHING!!!!
or i just spent too much time on the forums

thanks OP for making me laugh

This is a filthy lie. It is a well known fact that if you skip dailies, the earth’s orbit will start to decay and if enough people skip them, the Earth with plummet into the sun, wiping out the entire human race, possibly before we get to see the end of Season 2.

So for the love of all things holy, NEVER EVER skip a daily.

You all lie. You died when you didn’t finish the dailies and are currently stuck in Limbo which conveniently has internet.

Truthfully, I doubt it. I think it’s much more likely that aliens sucked you through the walls of your house, strapped you down and gave you a drug that caused’ amnesia. I suggest you go to a policeman and tell him this and demand he arrest them for giving you mind altering drugs.

This explains so much . . .

Of course you’re alive. It’s not skipping you that kills them. I’ve come to understand that the new dailies are so grindy that it’s doing them that kills you.

Well, either that or you can make a fabulous cup of coffee by letting your beans do the work for you.

man this title make me think of portal

I have skipped 5 dailies – Can’t be bothered anymore – My GW2 children have been grown up for a very long time and are quiet bored – They are also tired of sorting piles of the same old useless junk – Time for an alien landing or a pink elephant with bells on selling raffle tickets in LA——— As the title says- “Been there and done that”

more like this

the cake is a lie

did my dailies and became immortal…………….now world domination MUHAHAHA

This must be some strange usage of the word grindy I’d never previously been aware of.

Agreed, I skip them as well and no limbo yet

Many people in the other threads seem to be working off the assumption that you cannot skip them.

I keep thinking I’ll skip them, then I do them in the interests of science. Yesterday I soloed a fractal to see if I could be done (my fisrt time in an instanced dungeon). I’ve also killed dolyaks and taken camps in WvW.

I don’t know if Anet mean these new dailies to get more people into WvW or fractals, but if they are then it’s not working. I do exactly what I need to do and leave.

About a month ago, whilst map completing in WvW, I ran across a really cool zerg fight. Our team was against a much bigger group who were coming out of a keep, but they didn’t want to commit so it was fairly even. We built arrow carts and lured them into the fire. It was great, for ten minutes or so. I went back the next five evenings looking for more, and there wasn’t even a commander on. I guess that’s Fissure of Woe for you. Later, people told me I’d caught a week of unusually good server balance and I wouldn’t see anything similar for quite a while.

So, Anet, if you want me to do WvW you need to sort out population and balancing, maybe ditch the whole concept of worlds and balance some other way. You need to improve it, not market it via dailies.

I skipped Dailies today, all my teammates are Engineers and Guardians. I died too many times because they don’t want to skip dailies.

I used to be under the impression that daily’s were the be all end all. When my mom came to visit in late October of 2013, we were out shopping and she was just taking her time. I was getting aggravated at the time because I had told her I wanted to get home to get my daily done. I don’t think she was too happy about that. Fast forward to April 2014, right around the time of China release, I became very disappointed with the lack of communication here on the forums so I took a break. Did it kill me? No. Fast forward again to present day, I’ve done the daily several times and I actually enjoy the rewards and extra achievement points for only doing 3 of them. Fractals, I wasn’t too crazy about doing that as I haven’t played them in awhile and was very rusty but I did them anyway, not only just 1 fractal, but the whole set. I also did the Brisban daily’s as well. Now, I have a major problem. My old computer is no more, my mother board has to be replaced but my computer is so old, I decided just to buy a new computer. It might not be much of a problem for some people that I see post on the forums as they have a lot of money to spend, but for me it’s another dent in my credit card debt. I have no idea how long it will take me to pay this computer off. Anyway, was going to play today, in the process of downloading the game but it’s taking a long time. I called my service provider and they claim that there is no problem. So when I wake up later today, I’m going to talk to a service specialist to diagnose my problems. I hope to be able to play this game again soon. I know I’ve been disgruntled in the past if anyone cares to look at my posting history but right now, despite all the problems I’m having, I’m actually in a better mood about the state of the game. I’m really not sure why though, go figure, lol.

I used to be really upset at the state of the game then I took a break for school and came back and now I enjoy it alot more than I used to. There are still some faults, but I like the changes that have been made and am pretty happy about the game.

Gaile Gray.6029:

I did the dailies. Because I felt like it. And hey, I survived too!

!! I survived too and actually did mine in PvP for the first time since coming back. You’ve probably heard this alot but PvP is so much better. It’s amazing I love it lol!!

Something is very wrong. I do my dailies, I go to bed, I get up, and the day starts all over again. I’m in a never ending loop of repeating the same day except each time I wake up things are slightly different. Now I know how Bill Murry must have felt.

I skipped my dailies and only just survived. But at least now I have something to tell my grandkids.

I did the dailies but only because I played the game like I usually do, in WvW.

Just like old times! But those poor, poor PvE players….

I haven’t done dailies in four days… is there something wrong with me? Shouldn’t I be going through withdrawal symptoms by now? Is this normal?

Didn’t buy gems with real money for 9 months. Still alive.

I skipped the dailies and survived .. but i was seriously wounded

the daily is capped anyway. So it doesn’t really matter if you miss a day or two. Just means you capped it at a later day. That is assume you actually keeps on playing.

I just realized something….

Aren’t achievements themselves contradictory to “play how you want?” I mean, its something there telling you what to do to get an achievement. I’m not talking just dailies, but ALL achievements. I mean, they tell you where to go to get points, get so many kills with a specific weapon for points, do something specific with a boss for points….etc.

If anything, achievements should be abolished.

Far too many people play for the achievements specifically for them to be abolished. For people who do need direction, achievements are an important guide.

Just FYI, Anet made these changes to Dailies because people felt compelled to do too much. So Anet understands that people do have a problem skipping dailies and actually made changes to the game to help people with this problem. So apparently it is valid. The issue with the changes are the extreme small number of straight PvE choices (not dungeons, Fractals, JP, etc.)

Gaile, did you realize that Anet understands that people feel compelled to do dailies? Because you seem to be joining in on making fun of the people these changes were made for…

So….people want to play as they want….but be told what to do….?

It really is a lot more obvious than that.

Some people NEED to be told what to do. Some people dislike being told what to do. You can’t please all the people.

There are always more followers than leaders. So it’s likely, in my mind, that there are more people who need to be told what to do.

That’s why sandbox MMOs tend to have less traction, particularly in the west. Because people need to be entertained. They’ve forgotten how to make their own fun. Theme park MMOs tend to lead you around, sand boxes let you do what you want.

The most popular western sandbox MMORPG never had more than half a million players at one time. Why are theme parks so popular? Why is it that people would rather follow an arrow or a star around instead of figuring stuff out?

I don’t know. I’m not one of those people.

But that doesn’t mean that those people don’t exist.

Do you really not understand the concept of liking achievements?

I really hope you’re just playing dumb.

I skipped breakfast.

Honestly, I don’t hate the new daily set up. Granted I had no problem with them before either as I could always get them done while playing the game normally. Now I can get specific things catered to my play-style so that means more WXP for me in the long run since I still tend to get most of my dailies done in WvW should I log in.

That being said, I only ever consciously do my daily now if I am close to getting that next AP chest.

I don’t know where Vayne gets this – people don’t “need” direction. Anet introduced a system (Dailies) that shows or reminds players of choices they might not normally make in their game play. People could choose to do those activities and get a small reward. Only recently has Anet started trying to force players to do certain activities by reducing rewards for straight PvE play (maps / hearts).

I’m sorry. People don’t need direction? Have you ever even looked at the player helping player forums? The idea of people needing direction is why the entire industry has moved in the direction it has.

What do you think Dulfy is? Do you think no one goes there? Do you think everyone found those coins in Dry Top by exploring?

Do you think people who play other MMOs read the quest text and figure out where to go? Or do the skip the quest text and follow an arrow?

Even in Guild Wars 2, in story missions, there are giant arrows telling you where to go.

In tests run before the game was released, Anet had to add hearts, because people were running by events, because there was no text telling them what to do. One dev was watching a player run by a burning house and he asked the player why the player didn’t go inside to check it out, and the player said because I didn’t have a quest for it.

Why do you think people who are used to quest hubs get confused by playing this game? There are tons of posts about it, and even more people I’ve talked to in game.

Where is Vayne getting this? Reality, that’s where.

It they don’t need direction, then why care about dailies that (before and after update) that told you what to do?

Even before the update, plenty of people were ruled by the dailies. They’d come in, they’d look at the list and they’d play the game like a check list. Many people do it in zones as well with zone completion. I’ve seen it time and time again. If you haven’t seen it, you’re just not paying attention.

Sometimes I think there are more people playing games as a checklist than there are just experiencing the world.

I think they should at least change the daily so you can at least get some AP if you didn’t complete all 3.

In a sense that is a better way to play how you want.
