Guild Wars 2

Please take away crab toss and costume brawl from the daily choices and replace them with other stuff, these things are NOT fun and a waste of time. Why force people to do silly stuff just to accomplish their daily anyway?

I agree with crab toss. Crab toss is way to difficult to win. It takes way too long and is way too difficult.
I don’t mind costume brawl though. You just have to get 25 hits. As artificer this daily is extremely easy as you can just farm the necessary materials for a few secret potions.

Do the counting, Crab Toss has been added IN ADDITION to the regular dailies so it doesn’t take ANY space. (There’s currently 11 daily achievements instead of 10)

Who forces you?

I get my dailies every day without crab toss, keg brawl, costume brawl, dungeons or WvW; same as before the Southsun story.

There’s always 5 or more dailies that you can do without any of the “special” stuff, just play playing regular PvE.

For example, today:

- Daily Kill Variety
- Ascalonian Veteran Killer
- Daily Gatherer
- Group Event Completer
- Daily Feast

As a bonus
- Personal Story Completer
- Mystic Forgesmith

This is without Crab Toss, Costume Brawl, or WvW.

Frankly, I don’t see the problem.

As for the Crab Toss Daily as such, I would be happier if it rotated between Crab Toss Champion, crab grabs, crab carries, denies and evades to give it a little more variety and cater to different players’ abilities and preferred playing styles though.

That’s your personal opinion.

The <2 hours I spent yesterday to get my Grab Toss Champion, Crabtacular and Crabgrabber were some of the most fun I’ve had in the game in a while.

I, too, was of the opinion that Crab Toss was a crabby game yesterday, after having only tried it once. However, after I decided that I would do Crab Toss to get the required 25 achievements for the Southsun Stalwart and actually started paying attention to the mechanics of the game, it turned into tons of fun.

I almost always ended up with place 2, 3 or 4, not higher not lower.

I’ve enjoyed it beginning from the start. I was one of the first to play it thus I got the achievements only get for getting 1st place by being 3rd place. Then I tried to do the daily again. It took me ~8 days to get it when there was no person better than me in the game.

I so agree with this one. In addition, I think that WvW achievements, dungeons, Mystic Forgesmith, personal story achievements, along with Crab Toss, Keg Brawl, and Custom Brawl should be “extra achievements” since I know many players that don’t do those in their daily routine.

But that’s exactly the reason why they are part of the dailies: to encourage players to try out new things, off their usual path.

Dailies made me try out costume brawl and keg brawl for the first time, along with other things.

I think it’s a good system.

The only problem with costume brawl are the paid items.
They should be just slight advantages, and they are dowright gamebreaking and unfun for anyone but the user.

We were playing a little in my world, having some fun with tonics, until a Mad King griefer arrived.

He runs away so his model unloads, rushes in, spams his CC skills on all the players while he’s invisible, gets over 5 points from each hit target, runs away again. No skill involved, just spam on recharge, until people leave tired of being griefed. He got 25 stacks okitteng of the brawl in under a few minutes. And everyone who just arrived to play a little could not play at all, as one by got got fed up of the guy and left.

It’s not fun when an unskilled griefer like these appear. At the very least those CC skills need severely longer recharges, and protection skills become stun breakers and usable while disabled. And the weaker costume skills that lock you in place should be changed to be usable while moving, and the strongest ones lock the user in place, so people like these can’t breathe in and spam damage all over the place while unharmed even when it’s him vs other 50 people.

Even those who pay need others to play with, and they will have no one if that keeps going on, excepting those fool enough to fall for using the table every know and then until they learn it’s just a trap so you get into brawl without skills to defend yourself so they can take advantage of you.

Other than that, I see nothing wrong with costume brawl or crab toss. You don’t really have to do them.

It’s just an extra activity and you just need 5 of them. There’s other stuff to do in the list, and it’s a bonus entry, it’s not replacing any other choice that could be there instead. There used to be about 7-9 choices, after they added the crab game and the second WvW choice, now there’s 9-11. dailies to choose from.

I vote for this. Crab Toss especially are stress more than fun for me. Or at least, remove the chest. so ppl won’t stay there and win 10 times in row just to get shells

Thank you

Honestly, I never tried Keg Brawl ( and I’m not planning to, I just want to finish my daily as soon as possible). And don’t you need some paid items to start a Costume Brawl? Nah… I’ll think I pass, same goes for Crab Toss.

I really don’t mind having those, some players would like to try new things, and that’s fine, but as for me, I would like to get 2 or more achievements in a single zone without any PvP activities and be done with it as soon as possible. I see no harm in adding more achievements, one or two tops, while making others “optional”. I know that devs are trying to make us try those activities, but I don’t find them that enjoyable, mainly because I don’t have time to win a Crab Toss, or I just don’t want to travel to Hoelbrak when I’m doing events around the world and focusing on leveling.
