Guild Wars 2

I don’t know if anyone has notice, but there seems to be a lot of complaints about the dailies & monthlies, people are saying they are a grind and can’t find the time, or can’t be bother to do them because it doesn’t fit their play style.

Now there is talk about getting to picking from a list of dailies, but since that isn’t in yet, we have to make do with what we got.

So I got to ask, what do people want for dailies and monthlies.

Kill count/vet kill; people don’t seem to be complaining about that too much, there might be a champ kill daily, remains to be seen. Only problem is if that’s all we have then it just becomes boring.

Events; again not a lot of complaints here, but I’ve seen some with reason of they don’t like events (which is dumb because it’s the main part of the game).

Gathering, salvaging and crafting; this mostly come down to play style and people feeling it’s a waste of money (again not valid argument when you can get a set of gear boxes and sell them on the tp, making more than what you paid for the mats if you didn’t have them already)

Jumping puzzles, Dungeon, WvW; play style and time, understandable but at the same time, if you do those things already or don’t mind them, it’s real easy.

So what else should there be, vista viewing? Find certain npcs? Breathing?
We don’t have choice yet so what should be a daily where everyone can agree on.

As for people not having time, serious question, if you don’t have the time to play the game, why would you need BiS gear if your not going to be on long enough to enjoy it to begin with. That I don’t understand.

I say 1 login = 1 daily completed

/sarcasm

I ma not sure what the complaints are all about either. They have all been pretty easy, have never had a problem completing the daily in about a half hour. I have half of my monthly already done and it just started yesterday lol.

I’m completely happy with all of the daily/monthly combinations I’ve seen so far. The only one I didn’t like was the combo daily because even when I did combos with people in DEs only like 1/4th of them actually counted towards it, maybe it was bugged or maybe I was doing it wrong. But either way I personally don’t think anything needs to be changed.

No matter what kind of things they add there will always be some people who don’t like it. There is no point in trying to please everyone, it’ll never happen.

Log in – 1 daily

Login in 3 times – monthly

Log in for longer than 5 min – 1 daily

log in for longer than 30 min – 1 daily

log in for longer than 1 hour – 1 daily

Draw 1 weapon – 1 daily

Swap weapon in town – 1 daily

Force your character to say " I can outrun a centaur " 1 daily
etc etc

you get the gist ;P

you should simply need a certain amount of XP (proportionate with your level).

that would be the simplest way.

right now, it feels like the dailies are meant for people to go ou in the world, but its a big fail… i go there quickly, complaining, and faceroll some easy events…

im the type of player that want tough pve content.
and right now, at lvl 80 with gear, its a joke.
only the dungeons are solid enough.

temples, sometimes, on off hours when the zerg is smaller.
or i spend 30 minutes kiting a champion.

It’s a problem because these daily/monthly does not coincide with what casual players usually do. I don’t know if you have noticed but dungeons (ie. monthly) are not what casual players do on a daily basis. Most casual players just log on, do some WvW and then logs off. This creates a problem because non-casuals will farm the ascended gear and you will have exotics vs ascended in WvW at some point. I say just make a WvW daily/monthly and have it linked to the PvE daily/monthly. For an example, if you finish a WvW daily, you cannot finish PvE daily for that day. This makes it fair since WvW uses PvE gear so we should be able to farm it as well doing WvW.

Can’t do that: Logging in doesn’t suit my play style.

Maybe we should have a ‘log in the forums and complain about Dailies’ daily.

You shouldn’t speak for everyone.

As a casual player, I do whatever. And if I want the monthly, I’ll put that extra bit of effort in for it.

As it is, ding 5 dungeons in 28 days isn’t really the most taxing of requirements.

nah log on forum is good enough

complaining about daily gets stale fast.

But that’s part of my playstyle.

Too bad!

But fear not, no one is saying you can ONLY log on and not complain :P You just don’t get extra rewards.

Dailies are cool aren’t they?

There should be choices. Not just for dailies, but for monthlies too. You don’t want to have to WvW? Fine, pick something else. You don’t want to have to run dungeons, fine pick something else.

The game shouldn’t dictate a strict list of everything you have to do.

^

then might as well make dailies just a required amount of xp gain.

if anet doesnt do that, its because they want you to do other stuff.
its fine.
but it doesnt help the “endgame” because doing 5-6 events at level 80 with gear is about as difficult as taking a dump.

Dependent on how you play the game not forcing you to do things you hate.
give people a choice.
or
dont make it the only way to get the BIS gear. Make that gear available via other currency.
What they have done is crap and they know it.
Forcing people to do dungeons or get left behind – nice play their way or dont play at all.

Dailys should take any where from 10 mins to 1hr+ or something you do every day. A monthly should at least take a week to complete.

What is actually casual? For some, they believe 2 hours a day is casual while another person would thinks that’s hardcore.

There’s casuals out there that don’t do WvW, and just does one dungeon a night, hell there’s even casuals that don’t do anything but chat in LA\guild chat\friends for a bit than logs off. One person’s casuals is another’s hardcore and vise versa.

IMO this is not about casual vs hardcore, this is about filling everyone’s needs, and some times that’s not possible no matter how close you get it, because everyone has a different opinion on what they consider fun.

It should be exactly what it is now. Something that is designed and implemented by the company that made the game for you to do.

Well the main point is that you should at least try to fill everyone’s needs. Right now, they are quite far from it with the introduction of ascended gear. Usually in an MMO, there are PvP players and PvE players. Right now PvE players are satisfied but the PvP players are left hanging especially since WvW uses PvE gear.
