Guild Wars 2

This daily system is rly bad!
-stacking professions
-ppl who have no clue about pvp and arent even interested in pvp doing doing ranked only for daily
-ppl joining games , finishing daily and leaving before even game is over

So let’s get some things straight.
Low pvp population: check
Reward daily x- profession rewards (this includes ranked or unranked): check
People that don’t care or even know the difference between unranked or ranked: check
…..
…..
…..
complaining in forums, assuming that the people that had no clue what the difference between unranked or ranked meant are going to read… check!
….
….
profit.

edit:
I hope people aren’t being masochists and playing through a game they know they are going to dislike the more they play through it (since people aren’t at their caliber), just take a break from it. (personal bias: pvp died in competition 1.2 yrs ago, unless that was the necro era, then 2.2 yrs ago)

You get no daily unless you win.

You can get some daily during the match like player kill, defender and cunquer. The only daily that need you to stay till the end of the match is the “win with X class” daily. For all the other daily there’s no need to stay till the end of the match. Expecially if you’re losing and that happen frequently if you play adn you’re not good to play that class.

For example today I’ve find a large amount od bad necro and very bad thief noob daily players XD

Then, that increase only the number of players but if they’re not in game you’re still able to find bad players with bad builds everywhere.

And if you play with your guild or with your friend the daily increase your chance of victory.
Then if you’re here to write is because you play in solo and find a bad team because you’ve not gruld members or friends to play with and make a mediocre team to win a lot of bad daily players.

At last: if you play with your friends that daily will be the best thing you can hope to find. But if you’re a solo player you’re F*** XD

I don’t mind the daily too much, I just wish they would get rid of the ability to switch professions and enable class-based MMR that they currently just have turned off.

That’s another thing that would help. Get rid of the “win” requirement and just make it required that you play through a match. Then instead of 3 matches as a class that I can’t play and sends my MMR/win% into toilet, I can just do 1.

I know you think you were being glib here but really no. The point of this thread is to criticize the daily system not to contact the players doing these things in question and make them understand what they are doing is wrong. A-net is sometimes active here. The idea is to post something the devs might read and take action on. Most reasonable people agree that dailies being active in rated pvp are bad. The answer to this is not for non-pvpers to stop doing rated for dailies but for A-net to remove the option from even existing.

Ah, it’s the daily “daily” thread…

I don’t like curly fries!
Are they french fries..or are they curly stuff? Madness!

It’s a compounding problem to.

People that like dailies but not their profession.

They won’t learn the dailies profession so much as just try to get good enough to get the daily so repeatedly participate. So you get stuck with below average players just doing their daily ‘farm’.

You get no daily unless you win.

or theres typically 2 pvp dailies you can earn without winning. Which i do daily. Ones capture point or something and the other is typically earn rank points.

Both fairly easy. You can also mix n match pvp and pve dailies to do either the vista, dungeon, fractal, /gatherer for an easy daily that takes 10-15m of your time.

No effort really.

While i agree the pvp is off and nobody really know what they’re doing i have no issues doing the daily and enjoying it.

Is it just me, or am i the only one not even paying attention to it if it’s done or not?

If you ask me, I’ll make a few changes here:

• First, only for achievements that count wins and can be earned in hotjoin, to reduce ‘jumping ship’, they will get their points triplicated, and a win would give 3 points, and a loss will give 1. This way those that leave hotjoin mathes will always lose points, as jumping around until you get a win may take longer than losing 3 matches.

• Then, to prevent profession stacking, and keep variety around, replace the daily profession achievements that are the same for all accounts with two different ones, that are different between accounts:
  • One that picks a random profession between that accounts’ 5 most played professions. So accounts with only 5 slots can still get daily with just PvP… as long as they don’t make two of the same profession (why would you do that for PvP, anyways)
  • One that picks a random profession between that account’s 4 least played professions. To encourage trying stuff people do not try often.

• Then, I would also add a setting, enabled by default in standard arenas, that prevents joining a the winning team if both teams have the same number of players and the winning team has more than a certain amount of points than the other team (100 by default).

These changes should ease profession stacking, and reduce the amount of people that jumps around looking for wins for achievements.
