Guild Wars 2

Would like to see an additional category added to the daily options that could be off beat options to keep things interesting. World Exploration. These might be considered items included in the other groups of dailies but play off of them and be of differing degrees of difficulty or be a mash ups of existing categories.

Examples:

• Complete Troll’s Revenge jumping puzzle
• Complete Demongrubb’s Pits jumping puzzle
• Craft 10 Exotic Weapons
• Visit Grot’s Point, Krait’s Ladder and Mudbay Digs in Kessex hills
• Kill The Mossman or Bloomhunger in the Swampland Fractual
• Complete Kessex Hills for Map Completion
• Obtain One Exotic from the Mystic Forge
• Kill 25 enemy players in SPvP
• Play a rank/unrank SPvP game on Skyhammer
• Kill 25 enemy players in WvW
• Kill 50 Dredge in Eternal Battleground
• Explore all 5 points on interest in the Alpine Borderlands
• Explore Stonegaze Spire Reactor in EoTM
• Gain 3 levels in PvE
• Complete 1 level of a Mastery track
• Gain 2 WvW ranks
• Perform one Guild Bounty Capture
• Run one Guild Rush
• Find one point in a Guild Trek

These would include differing options for people to transverse the world that would include elements of PvE, PvP, WvW and progression in crafting, leveling and masteries.
This would also allow ANet further options in encouraging players to visit different aspects of the world.

This category would act like the others where 4 random options are pulled from a potential pool of options for players to choose from.

Please, stop with the “encouraging”. I don’t want to be “encouraged” to go into anything. Make the actual content itself more tempting instead of dangling a carrot in front of players and leading them there.

This is part of that temptation. What would tempt you into a jumping puzzle you have already completed? Also this is a good way to introduce players into content they might not do or haven’t done. I know a lot of people that still enjoy the dailies but miss the larger selection that had more variety. Give players some more challenging dailies and more variety and then those that wish to, have more options.

I would rather see a regional jumping puzzle daily (for example, Shiverpeaks Jumper), than the current “complete 4 map events.”

We already have a carrot for these. Its called Achievements. No need to force players to rerun them when they already did it once.

Yeah enough with the “encouraging”. I don’t want my small female asurans to have to compete with massive norn and charr in the stupid daily events now, let alone having to try and finish a jumping puzzle because of them.

What would tempt me to do a jumping puzzle I’ve already done? Monthlies. That’s what did it. No pressure, and no crowd to compete with.

That and doing it just for fun. I like the challenge with Troll’s Revenge and I do it now just for kicks. I’m getting really good at it – so much so that I’m not even taking a mesmer (Portal) or a necro (Necrotic Traversal) up there.

Also it really should be noted in this thread that jumping puzzles do not count towards map completion.

Why should it be noted in this thread? I don’t see anyone insinuating that jumping puzzles are required for map completion.

How would an additional category “force” people to re-run these? Original intent on this is to open up additional options for people that might want additional daily goals and give people that might not like options in the existing three groups more options to choose from.

Note: I don’t have any issues with existing dailies except lack of variety but do know some people that have ones they won’t do at all. Not to mention the threads from people that don’t fractual and run into issues with double daily fractuals, which I admit I love when its an option, but know others do not.

This still wouldn’t be a requirement, since ANet already made the change on do just 3 dailies. So If you don’t have to do them, what’s up with issue if its a matter of just defining additional dailies in the pool of options? Or are the people against it just feel pressured that they didn’t do them all in a given day?

Anybody who refuses to spend the 5 minutes (literally, any given daily will take 5 minutes aside from maybe the high tiered fractals which is still only like 20 minutes and well rewarding) to do any of the random dailies does not deserve the rewards. End of discussion.

Suggestions are too specific. Suggestions need to be more generic. Otherwise, you’ll end up with a worse situation than the zone specific events. Imagine everyone on a server on a single jumping puzzle…

And we don’t need any more Fractal options unless they collapse the Fractal options into one slot only. So that we don’t end up with days with 3 Fractal options.

And some of your options are unfair for veterans. And the options are supposed to all be doable by all players (people with lower level characters get level appropriate options). Some of your options are not doable by all players.

Examples were provided to explain the concept. I would assume they would follow their existing structure and create a mix that are achievable (though I would like to see some harder ones for the vets) based on player statistics or the level metric they use now on the NPE.

And again, this is also another category that might help people that do not like things like the daily fractal. Since I do fracts and have a group I tend the other direction, but get their point. But instead of eliminating that from the people that like it, just give us more options to choose from, and of varying difficulty.
