Guild Wars 2

Has “Daily Master of Ruins” Daily been changed?

• If so, what are the new Ruins?
• If not, shouldn’t this Daily (one of today’s Dailies) be removed from the game?

darn ruins and veteran where two fav cause they were easy heh.

Read the achievement description well, you need to build the ruin not to take them. Achievement achieved.

WvW got a bloated map and ruins were a good addition. the new map does not help WvW :-(.

The mere fact that this error passed all QA checks for the launch of HoT is emblematic of the level of attention to detail paid to WvW for the last three years and more. If anyone on the QA or design teams had WvW in the forefront of his or her mind the position of WvW dailies post-HoT would have been an obvious concern. I was thinking about what would have to change months ago.

The new BLs are beautiful but they are no substitute for the ones we had, by the way.

Completely agree.

I love getting both on the same day. Fantastic.

Bumping this back to front page simply to ask the ETA on a fix on these. Is it really that hard to change/remove these?? Or will it take just as long it took you guys to fix party options in wvw. (18months)

Still annoying…

Maybe taking ages cos they are changing it to get shrines? (trying to be positive here)

looks like the dayly events are not made by a “community-guy”, rather like a generic software piece whom no one paid attention recently.
However this is how you interact with the players and shold be fixed asap, IMHO.

Please, fix it before Christmas ANet!

crickets chirping………………………..

I’m sure they created the task to fix this. Just probably at the bottom of the priority pile, like wvw has always been.

CRUNCH

I’m happy to report the crickets are no longer chirping.

This daily is no longer possible. Yes, we need to fix the fact achievement still shows up as a Daily. The same is true for the WvW Veteran Slayer achievement.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but your team NEEDs to fix more than just these achievement bugs. The new BL maps are epic fail, and let’s not forget that you guys completely forget the WvW enhancements with HOT release. With the raid contents being thrown around to attract players to the expansion, I can only assume WvW is not getting anything until at least 6 months for now.

Thanks for killing WvW.

You sure it was a cricket and not the last one sitting in the wvw office?

Noo! That cricket was the only Anet employee working on WvW :c…

Now wvw has no one! A cricket was better then nothing, right?..

Right?..

may he rest in peace…………….

I love the new maps. They feel so huge, and there’s so much potential for siege weapons… Too bad it’s a ghost town. Having 2 of the wvw dailies be impossible to complete (but still popping up almost every single day) is just the icing on the cake. I guess GW2 is just an e-sport now. Go pvp or go home. :-p

Dont forget PvE, all the news are all about that game mode, I think the message is pretty clear from Anet…

Hello WvW players! Here is your FREE daily slap in the face!

How difficult can it possibly be to remove a daily from the list…?

How about making Ruins & Veteran Slayer auto-complete itself when it’s queued for a player’s daily?

Free? I paid $50 for HoT.

@Heimlich

Comforts…

That’s going to get really expensive to ask for a daily slap for “$50” in my opinion.

Hope that didn’t come out sounding too perverted.

Oh…meow!

Joking…I bought the Ultimate version, but I’m still hopeful ANet will do something to improve the WvW game mode that I bought Ultimate for.

Also, it would be nice to have the Guild Upgrades that I had access to previously before HoT launched.

Still hoping that the powers that be…will do the right thing.

Don’t punish the Little Red Hen Guilds that un-locked many upgrades in fair play & with hard work.

Guilds that didn’t un-lock the upgrades should need to work on earning the upgrades with any new guilds that start now…since HoT has launched…in my opinion.

I’m still trying to find my inner peace btw…as one fellow WvW here on this forum might say.

Who wants to eat bread? Actually, Who deserves to eat this nice hot loaf of bread?

It looks like I’ll play Heart of Thorns for dozens of days, so the daily slap-in-the-face price will be more reasonable. I did buy the $100 box as well, so if I make it 50 days each daily slap will only amount to $2.

Yes, losing access to upgrades and features that we used to have, and placing them behind a wall of 7000 gold is very disappointing.

With the new maps comes the final nail in the coffin for WvW .

Having pve content on the maps just NO.
The fact is i/we want the old maps back all you have to do is touch up the graphics on the old ones job done and get rid of the new ones forever!
I want to play wvw not run about for hours finding my way around and then stopping to do this stupid oasis event!
If i wanted eotm 2.0 then i would be happy – BUT i do not! Arghhhh..

Really!

That’s strange… on my screen, in the Hero Panel, Achievements tab, under the Daily Achievements:
Daily Master of Ruins

• Capture 1 ruin in any of the WvW Borderlands

that does NOT say “build”.

Tyler Bearce.3427:

This daily is no longer possible. Yes, we need to fix the fact achievement still shows up as a Daily. The same is true for the WvW Veteran Slayer achievement.

is this going to be replaced with something anytime soon? i don’t do PvE, so those are out. i HATE trying to find the kitten events in the PvE maps as you can’t see any events in the maps unless you’re in the nearby area (if we could choose the map, maybe it would be a better option).

the way dailies are right now is very frustrating and not always doable for everyone.
:(

“Need to fix” becomes a regularly spoken lie after a while when things go on being broken year after year – and so many things and mechanics are broken already in WvW.

We were promised a better WvW, not one where solo and small guilds are not only left out but you opened the wrong servers who were already overwhelming those who are against them.

When the “new” maps were first noised, there was no talk of replacing our beloved Alpine BL maps! and then you made them almost exactly like the hated and mostly avoided ETOM that most of us would love to see deleted altogether.

You guys have no idea what you’re doing ot WvW and it seems you don’t care.

+1000 thumbs up.

We all thought we’d be getting more interaction not far less.

Not having these fixed immediately shows how little attention is paid to wvw. I mean, the one thing that pops up in your face every day in wvw is the list of dailies- and they can’t even be bothered to fix the glaring issues with that.

Maybe they are struggling with what to replace it with, so how about:

Kill a champ or lord or veteran in EoTM.

Cap one of anything anywhere.

There, problem solved.

I think I estimated originally 25-30 days for them to do anything, starting to think that spread was way too low and should have been months not days.

If they are ignoring something so basic in wvw there is little hope of them addressing the much bigger issues (like the majority of people not playing on the new maps – as per the q’s seen on EB and no one on the Desert(ed) BL maps on many servers).

Wait so daily ruins is still there (I rarely check dailies, they just happen), despite a dev admitting the issue almost a month ago?! How can this daily at least not have been disabled?!?!

This is ridiculous. sPvP or PvE, it would have been fixed in a day.

Yeah quite unproffesional to leave this thing up 2 weeks after admitting they need a fix.
Shows once more how much they care about wvw and the playerbase.

Okay, so a number of issues are design issues, and whether or not I agree or disagree I think it could take some time.

Here we already have 4 working dailies and just need it to be restricted as such. And honestly, I’ve seen the defunct dailies almost every day.

Pls.

I was fortunate enough to have access to the last WvW beta, and one of the things I noticed was that there was no type of ruin anywhere to cap, but there were shrines. I mistakenly assumed that someone was on the ball from the beginning, making note that removing the ruins would effect the daily achievement list. Imagine my surprise when on day 1 of the desert maps (maybe it was day 2) there was “cap ruin” on the daily, and I went and tried a shrine. Well, I had to imagine my surprise as well, because after the cap when nothing happened, my first thought, sadly, was, “Typical….”

How do you forget something like this, and having forgotten, how do you let it linger?

So why is this still appearing? Not to mention the veteran creature slayer? How hard it it to just disable it?

Hey, no, I’m not letting this go.

Diku.2546:

Yes. I dropped my phone I laughed so hard. Thank you. +87k. …so I like the number 87 ;P

ANET DOESNT YOU CARE ABOUT US WVW PLAYERS? nah you dont.

Maybe they will fix it in today’s patch? (hysterical laughter heard coming from the offices).

I love how Heavy Supply Bags skyrocketed in price because 175 of them are needed for guild halls and the most obvious way to get them (wvw centaurs) were eliminated in the new map.

Of course you can still grind them out at an extremely slow pace in pvp.

Here it is the middle of January, unknown how many months have passed since I visited here and learned they’d forgotten the two dailies and we keep getting them, well, almost daily. I don’t see evidence it’s been fixed. Have I missed an announcement?

Ruins was changed to monuments (take shrines)
The veteran creatures are in the southern area of the map. Easiest one is the veteran boar just west of South Camp.
