Guild Wars 2

This is not a topic for feedback on the new daily system. Please refer to this thread to voice your opinions on the new system.
——————————————————————————-

I would liken this topic to a game, or maybe a brainstorm. I’m not looking for a yes or no, or someone to agree with my suggestions. Rather, a new set of suggestions to add to the list. With a little creativity, we might see more variety in the future. Now, I’m holding you all to a high standard. The bar has been set with “Visit a Vista”, so I have great expectations.

Examples

PvE: Dodge 10 unique attacks in PvE
WvW: Share N boons with allies in WvW
PvP: Interrupt 10 enemy attacks in PvP

Reserved for later use.

I think any dailies added need to be more involved not more generic crap.

Subdue.5479:

I think any dailies added need to be more involved not more generic crap.

I agree. That was my intent when I made this thread. I think it would be worthwhile if there were a source of community created dailies that were interesting for the devs to use.

And if a fraction of the effort that has gone into simply complaining was used in a more productive manner, I can only see that as a good thing.

Discover 3 precursors from the mystic forge.

The one thing that really bugs me about this new system is it seems Anet was thinking more about PvP and WvW when it came to the new system and PvE was just an after thought. Not everyone does PvP or WvW.

PvE has cut trees in this location, mine in this location, complete events in this location, view a vista in this location, defeat this world boss, do Fractals (why is that even under PvE) or craft an exotic item.

The problem is only 3 or 4 PvE dailies are available each day. Yes I know you only need 3 but only one gathering daily is up per day, and viewing the vista may not be included. If someone doesn’t do dungeons that daily is out of the question. If you just miss the world boss you have to wait 3 hours before it spawns again. The complete 4 events in a certain area can be tedious do to the huge amount of players that are bum rushing the area making finding an event, taking part in it before it’s over and get credit for it purely luck and if someone doesn’t have a trade leveled where they can make an exotic item of whatever that daily can’t be done.

They need to make more and have more PvE dailies available each day. They could add something new like do a certain jumping puzzle or do a certain amount of jumping puzzles a day, refine a certain amount of a certain material such as cooper ore being refined into cooper ingots or bronze ingots, create a Deldrimor Steel Ingot or Spiritwood Plank (this would help older players have something to do that will take a bit to finish), kill enemies with a certain weapon based on profession, something like Rangers using a longbow, Necros using a axe, Mesmers using a scepter, Thief using a dagger, Engineers using a rifle, Warriors using a hammer, Elementalists using a staff and Guardians using a greatsword.

WTB complete X dungeon path, or complete any path in X dungeon.

Help Quaggan. Any event having to do with quaggans.

Stuff that involves emotes would also be fun. Dancing in front of the Dwayna statue in Divinity’s Reach. Bowing to Queen Jennah.

I know the dailies are intended to get people to try different parts of the game, but throw some fun ones in there. Another part of the game is socializing and silliness, that doesn’t get highlighted as much.

Daily Dirt Nap – Die at least once in each region (Ascalon, Kryta, etc.) on the same character.

1) daily fractal every day every lvl
2) daily salvage salvage 15 objects every day
3) daily gather (like the older one 20 things everywhere) every day

Some serious, some satirical, mixed together for your inconvenience.

• PvE – “Wait, what?”: Complete a daily PvE achievement.
• PvE – “Daily Squanderer”: Destroy a stack of 250 account bound items.
• PvE – “Daily Color Explosion”: Complete an event together with at least 25 players showing commander tags.
• PvE – “Daily Puzzle Jumper”: Complete a jumping puzzle anywhere in Tyria.
• PvE – “Daily Killstealer”: Kill 100 level 1-10 creatures without allowing any other player to tag them.
• PvE – “Daily Bash and Go”: Earn event credit for 5 events by killing no more than a single enemy per event."
• PvE – “Real Daily Vista Viewer”: View a vista without cancelling before the show is over.
• PvE – “Daily survivor”: Gain [some amount] of combat xp in any single zone without going down.
• PvE – “Daily Layabout”: Tell 3 different event starting NPCs that you won’t help them.
• PvE – “Daily Spambot”: Send in-game mail to 15 different players that don’t share a guild with you or appear on either your friends, followers or blocked lists.

29. Elmer Fudd. Kill 10 rabbits
30. Pawn Star. Salvage 10 exotic weapons
31. Can you fly, Bobby? Jump off something high enough to kill you when at 100% health
32. Mary Lou Retton. Do 5 successful dodge-jumps

Any of the JPs could be a daily, just like vistas are.

Emotes and How to Dance could be one – encourage people to communicate and direct players to the emote system in case they didn’t find it before. Emotes and How to Dance would have to be together though so that people wouldn’t need to buy something from the cash shop to complete the daily.

I kind of liked the revive daily. It was nice to see the game put emphasis on working together.

33. Sleeping Beauty. Find beds in all the cities and take a nap in them.

• PvE – “Daily Squanderer”: Destroy a stack of 250 account bound items.

Now I want to see the achievement “Legendary squanderer” introduced. The reward for completing it would be a legendary weapon. ANet should refuse to confirm its existence and so it becomes a real measure of courage.

• Bucket Dodger – Take lethal falling damage while wearing diving goggles.
• Closed Deck Killer – Clicking on this achievement temporarily changes your entire build to a preset; clicking it again changes you back. The preset for each profession is semi-randomly selected every day this achievement comes up. You must get x kills using this preset build, after which you will automatically revert to your own build.
• Riddle Solver – The description of the achievement will be a riddle, describing a task the player needs to perform. Not every player will get the same riddle.

This is a great thread. I’m going to add to this by suggesting all play modes, just so one camp can’t whine about not getting the easy ones. Instead, they’ll take a little longer to complete, but you can do so doing whatever. I’ll call these General Dailies

• Daily Condition Applier: “That guy was supposed to be on fire anyway.” – Apply 30 Conditions to enemies.

• Daily Condition Remover: “Eww, you’ve got icky all over yourself!” – Remove 20 Conditions from yourself or Allies.

• Daily Reviver: “No, I did not just let you drop so I could get some extra XP. Honest.” – Revive 10 downed or defeated Players.

• Daily Boon Applier: “Sharing is Caring, especially when it hurts your enemies.” – Apply 30 Boons to yourself or Allies.

• Daily Weaponmaster: “When in doubt, Overkill.” – Use 3 Different Weapons to defeat 20 enemies with each weapon.

• Daily Fall: “When down, the weak stay on the ground and the strong rise back up. The smart don’t throw themselves off a cliff.” – Take Falling Damage 15 times.

• Daily Dodger: “You have an uncanny knack for simply not being there when someone tries to chop your head off.” – Evade 20 attacks.

• Daily Slayer: “It’s a good thing monsters have such a shabby legal department and no healthcare benefits.” – Kill 40 different monsters or enemy players.

• Daily Hero: “Saving up for the next time Daily Ambient Slayer shows up. You know, just in case.” – Collect 1000 Karma.

• Daily Ambient Slayer: “It’s not my fault that these things drop dead if I so much as sneeze in their general direction!” – Kill 50 Ambient Creatures.

I love this thread and I hope that some of the suggestions are actually implemented.

Manasa Devi.7958:

• PvE – “Daily Layabout”: Tell 3 different event starting NPCs that you won’t help them.

I loved this one!

I like this thread here some ideas of mine:

• Loyal to your country: “Just because you’re not on duty doesn’t mean you can’t help your nation.”-kill 10 units of your race’s enemy faction
• Home sweet home:“It’s nice to visit your home from time to time.”-visit your home instance.
• This is not how I imaginated my vacation:“You would think that a resort would be safe.”"- kill 20 creatures in southsun cove
• nobody is safe:“It’s not that you need friends.”-kill 20 neutral creatures

Kill 10 baby quaggans

Serophous.9085:

Kill 10 baby quaggans

You just made Baby Quaggan cry.

PvE – “Do it yourself, Quick”. Kill one Champ, 5 Veterans or 25 regular
monsters/enemies in 5 minutes.

PvE – “Just another Skritt”. Collect 5 different salvaged items that were initially
purchased from npc’s.

PvE – “Step it up” Kill an enemy 4 levels over your level or 4 enemies within 4
seconds.

PvE – “Make up your mind” Complete 5 events in a specified zone, or 5 world
bosses, in 80 minutes.

Note the “choice” in each.

FoopOplo.7914:

Plain and simple, completing events should still be a part of PvE and/or WvW dailies. Without them as a part of dailies, there is basically no reason to go back into regular pve areas once you’re level capped. Rather big difference actually.

Apparently you missed this note on this thread a few posts back……..

Gaile Gray.6029:

Please remember that this thread is for your suggestions about new components for the dailies. They can be serious or humourous, but they should be suggestions and not feedback. If you want to share your feedback or input on the new dailies in a general or specific sense, outside of the suggestions intended for this thread, please post in this thread to share your overall feedback on the dailies

Woohoo! That was another achievement too!

PvE – “Skritts are rats, right?” – kill 10 skritts.

I’d like area specific dailies to be in the same area for a day’s worth. Kill 10 centaurs in Gendarren Fields, mine and check out a vista in Kryta, etc. Even do these (not as random things) in this zone then talk to so and so. Or ask so and so (NPC) what needs doing in that area for that day. Heck, you could even then have an NPC in each racial city giving dailies for their own regions. That way we could choose which region we want to run around in on any given day.

“Look ma, I’m a…”- use a transformation tonic
“Wintersday in July” Use a wintersday tonic any day during the summer
“Why I otta…” Use /threaten at least 3 times during a Champion battle.

I kinda like the idea of having NPCs in each zone that could hand out optional, interesting tasks that aren’t what already spawns there.

PvE – Daily Freefall:

Take more than 100,000 fall damage in X (rotates between the various regions).

— Concept Writeup —

What: New use for Renown Hearts on completion.
Why: To further reasons to return to older areas; to enable other ways of collecting/doing Daily Tasks.
When: Each Heart can be triggered once per day, but any number of Hearts can be done in one day.
How: Once the Heart is finished, a player may ask if anything more is needed to help. On doing this, a task from a random set is offered – the set includes the things needed to complete the Heart and at one of at most four other tasks relevant to the area. These tasks are used to fulfill the Daily Completionist, however the player may now hold any task for as long as they wish but only one task from each Heart can be held at any time.

WvW..Dog Pile ( I wanted to call it Gang Bang. But, I doubt that would be allowed).. Take damage from 10 players before being double downed

I don’t have any particular suggestions that haven’t already been said, but I do think that there should be a much wider pool for the new dailies. Since they’re more specific, there should be a lot more, which allows for a certain spice of variety each day.

How about one for going AFK during a PvP match.

DarcShriek.5829:

How about one for going AFK during a PvP match.

Hehe:

Rage quitter: Leave 3 PvP matches while behind

I would also suggest one for collecting geodes in Dry Top while afk, but I don’t want to encourage them. Seriously, if repair costs are reinstated we’ll have those kittens to thank.

Kill 20 plants! (Sylvari count as plants)

Kill 20 giants! (Norn count as giants)

Kill 20 fur balls! (Charr or other cats)

Kill 20 rats! (Asura, Skritt and ambient rats)

KILL 50 BOOKAHS! How dare they call us rats!

I wouldn’t mind seeing it upped to 5 options in each category and for PvE adding specific dungeons (the reward could be a rare loot chest, 2 writ of xp, and bonus tokens for that dungeon) or specific JP puzzle completion (perhaps having obi shards as that reward?)

I don’t know about any other ones I would like for PvP or WvW because I don’t play them deeply enough.

FOTM 38-50 Daily.

Hello all.

Nice topic Shanks, and a lot of very interesting suggestions here.
In my opinion, the new system aims at driving players to activities/location out of their usual way, without being overly challenging. I therefore suggest:
PvE
promotes exploration
- treasure hunter: open two small chests in X map. Special reward: some blue/greens
- better check first what lurks below: successfully dive in X map (diving googles) (1 scroll)
- goat to climb that: complete a jumping puzzle in X map (2 scrolls)
- dungeon crawler: complete either a story or exploration path of X dungeon. Special reward: tome of knowledge for story path and additional (15-30 ?) dungeon tokens for explo path. One bonus tome of knowledge in addition for Arah explo paths provided they are longer on average (akin to 11-20 fractal daily).
- connoisseur: sample that X food or drink (which can only be bought from one/some select NPCs away from capital cities)
- petty slayer: kill X ambient creatures of type Y (type Y being specific to some areas)
- slayer: kill X ennemies of Y type (centaur, crab…) in Z region (maguuma/ascalon/…). Special reward: some T5-T6 crafting materials corresponding to the Y type (scales for drakes, blood for karkas, poison glands for spiders, dusts for ghosts…). Some of the slayer dailies can actually be casually achieved in WvW.
- master slayer: same as above with much larger ennemy count to kill and enhanced special rewards: T5-T6 rare crafting materials. That daily would be a great way to inject in the economy small amounts of these materials, some of which are really lacking. Special rewards should be: air elementals => charged core/lode, icebrood => corrupted core/lode, branded => crystal core/lode, ice elementals => glacial core/lode, destroyers => destroyer core/lode, fire elementals => molten core/lode, earth elementals => onyx core/lode, undead => essences, toxic alliance => toxic spores, aetherblades => sprockets). This daily should occur much less often.
promotes specific crafting professions (akin to profession specific PvP dailies)
A given crafting rank may be required to make the dailies even more specific. Special reward: crafting materials corresponding to the profession (ingredients|refined (leather|tissue|metal))
- consummables crafter: craft 5 foods/5 potions/5 bags/5 (Maintenance Oils|Sharpening Stones|Tuning Crystals)
- equipment crafter: craft 10 different foods (to have a cooking daily in this category) / craft 2 different weapon types from X crafting profession (both from the same profession) / craft 2 (armor pieces of material X|jewelry items) for 2 different slots. This achievement requires to temporarily record what was previously crafted; may not be possible at the moment.
PvP
- arena master: win a game on X map
- courtyard trampler: kill X players in Courtyard
- how long will they scream ?: in Skyhammer, “kill a player by making him/her fall”. I don’t think it is actually possible to check for this so this daily would become: “hit a player that subsenquently dies from falling” (during the same match and without other death inbetween)
WvW
- it is mine: defend X times a base of Y type
borderline (mix PvE and PvP, counts and rewards as WvW)
- you can always try to hit me: complete the obsidian sanctum jumping puzzle

The following dailies are to be discussed. They invite players to try/discover specific PvP or WvW activities they may not be used to, but may also be game breaking if, for that day, all players overly concentrate on the activity instead of playing normaly:
PvP
- we deliver: successfully carry the orb to a point in Spirit Watch
- I thought it was PvP: kill the ennemy boss in Legacy of the Foefire
- orbital bombardment: use the megalaser in Skyhammer and hit X (3-5) players
- where is the bus ?: use a trebuchet in Battle for Kyhlo and hit X (3-5) players
- better be prepared: kill X (1-3) boss in Forest of Niflhel
- can you steal it ?: kill once the enemy team boss in Forest of Niflhel (2 track progress flasks reward)
- best supporter: activate X (1-2) map buffs for your team in Temple of the Silent Storm
WvW
- siege engineer: properly use (i.e. hit players/enemy doors/enemy walls accordingly) X times a siege weapon of type Y. Special reward: some blue prints of type Y with a (very) tiny chance at an improved schematic
- holy cow: escort X supply dolyaks
- archeologist: capture a ruin and have your faction control all 5 ruins within 5 minutes
- Do you like camping ?: complete one of your enemies borderland jumping puzzle
EotM
- Y specialist: properly use once the speciality Y (scorp, mega cannon, air strike grenade, kodan hammer, bell, spark transformation). Properly use means: hit someone if air strike or megacannon, hit someone while transformed in spark/kodan, hit a door|wall while in spark, ring a bell.

I have read many interesting daily suggestions above, but I think they are out of scope of the current daily system because too challenging.
I think the system may be made even better by adding to each category one very difficult 5th daily, taking inspiration from the various examples hereabove, for the players who enjoy challenge.

Diving dailies may alternate with “point of view” dailies.

PvE could diserve every day an additional daily focused on crafting professions (with the need to find some more diversity for PvP and WvW to retain same number of dailies) or such daily could alternate with gathering dailies.

Dungeon dailies may be specific to the point of enforcing one specific path (Anet stats may help to select the moderately least practiced paths for such a daily).

Along with new ideas of dailies, I think it would also be interesting for us to discuss if there are some dailies that we would like to see occur everyday (akin to the PvP profession win dailies in the current iteration). I think dailies could be thematically grouped together (within PvE/PvP/WvW of course), with dailies from a group alternating and each group being represented on every day (e.g. we obviously have a “gathering” category of dailies in the current iteration, one of which occurs every day).

How would you classify them ?

Great suggestions guys! Keep them coming.

If you want to share your feedback or input on the new dailies in a general or specific sense, outside of the suggestions intended for this thread, please post in this thread to share your overall feedback on the dailies

Thanks Gaile for putting the thread on track. I had hoped that there would be both good suggestions and suggestions that made us laugh. I’d love to hear some from you too!

- PvE gardener: forage X nodes of type Y (strawberry, artichoke…) from region Z. Y and Z would be chosen so as to only allow for the daily completion by harvesting a “node farm”. Such a daily could replace from time to time the generic forage daily and would prompt some players to (re)discover node farms

some diversity for WvW (unless you prefer to focus WvW daily on WvW specific tasks)
- WvW blood makes them grow bigger: forage X nodes in the mists
- WvW I thought it was bloodstone: mine X nodes in the mists
- WvW is it weirwood ?: log X trees in the mists

Sightseeing Tour: View a vista in each of the starting cities.
(Good for getting new players to check out the other cities and the asura gates.)
