Guild Wars 2

Please remove WvW from PvE daily and monthly achievements. I don’t like the idea of being coerced into doing a player vs player event that I don’t particularly care for if I want to earn some rewards in the player vs environment area.

I do agree that its no good to try and force people into WvW if they don’t want to do it, via dailys / monthlies (particularly the later). WvW stuff is one reason I’ve never completed a monthly to date, though not the only one. But…

With the new “choose your daily” type system thats in place, I don’t think having WvW options is a problem, as long as they provide enough PvE-related categories to complete the daily that way. This way the WvW’ers can at least partially complete their daily doing what they like, and those who don’t care about WvW can complete it their way.

Hopefully monthlies will get the same treatment, which would eliminate the problem in that as well (again, as long as there are enough non-WvW categories to finish it).

Not sure about you, but today my daily quest was to do 5 out of perhaps 10 options (only one of which was WvW related, if I remember correctly). Therefore, I think you’ll never again be forced to do WvW to finish a daily. And from what I’ve gathered, the next monthly will be designed accordingly.

But I really feel your problem. I was really kitten that I had to do 5 dungeons for the last monthly achievement. Here’s to hoping that that’ll be over…

Hey OP can you please show me where the achievement says its a PvE achievement like you claim? thanks.

@Catisa: I do appreciate your feedback, however rudely you decided to include it. You’re correct that it doesn’t directly say THIS IS A PVE CATEGORY. It just so happens that the categories are heavily PvE influenced, as are (arguably) the rewards. It’s not that much of a stretch, but you’re not wrong.

I’d like to adjust my initial statement to: if we have to have WvW things, could it be something other than player kills? Capturing supply camps, killing or escorting dolyaks, killing npcs such as guards or the npcs at supply camps.. stuff like that.

Just something that is potentially available at all times and not dependent upon either my team or the enemy team being present.

Monthly doesn’t bother me nearly as much because it’s something I can work at over the course of a few weeks so I don’t feel pressured when WvW is going south for my server.

I understand that there are choices towards achieving the daily reward chest but I’m also an achievement kitten. If dailies were something like a 5 achievement point cap per day, as opposed to getting a point for every category regardless of whether or not you’ve already finished progress towards the chest, yeah, I would be fine with it. There are just rewards past that chest and I’d like to accomplish them. I’d just like it a lot more if world vs world wasn’t a part of that in the current system.

If there was a category for world vs world, separating player vs environment from player vs player, then it also wouldn’t bother me. The meshing does.

There are separate daily and monthly achievements for PvP. Does that imply the non PvP specificdaily and monthly achievements should be free from PvP contents?

The current PvP category is exclusively sPvP, wvw and PvE have always been linked. Both use the same skill sets, both use the same gear, both level the same way etc.

today daily related to wvwv was something about dolyak. no player killing today, and other option to skip this (i skipped)

wvw is a kind of PvP, and wvw is linked with PvE, so is PvE a kind of PvP as well?

More importent remove Dungon and fractional from Daily and monthly.

Yes, for me, I just don’t care. It becomes a job, and not fun, dailies etc. I never finish dailies.

Been down this road before, and no more for me. I was very “hard core” but really, I burned out on it.

As usual they include stuff I have zero interest in. I have no interest wvw, so I just do what I want and play it as a game. I don’t like any attempt to get me into things I am totally uninterested in.

Not upset really, so long as there is no real coercion. So long as I can actually just not do what I find uninteresting.

If the day comes when I have to do things I dislike, I will leave. Why do stuff in a game that you dislike? I am here for fun, not another job.
