Guild Wars 2

This appears to be gone in the new desert borderlands (I haven’t found any at this time, but, then, I’m still learning my way around … I also note that there is no bonus listed for capturing & holding 3 of 5, so it may be that I’m not completely inept at exploring). Not a big deal from the standpoint of game play, but why is it being retained in the list of daily achievements?

They haven’t changed that in the daily-list there is no Veteran slayer & master ruin in the new boring map

I sent them tickets and emails about daily ruins they dont care cos people are spending money and playing pve. People get bored and tire of the new borderlands very quickly and find themselves back in eb which will queue. Thanks for listening to veteran players again skynet

I was just about to start a thread about this – I hadn’t really looked through the borderlands until today when I got the daily…. and yeah, I tried shrines in case they just hadn’t reworded it or something, but apparently ruins are just history now. I miss the old borderland maps – I go to Heart of the Mists for this kind of gameplay xP

Yea me 2, was going to start a thread asking about the daily Master of Ruins, but glad i found this thread.

There was a same daily day or 2 after Hot released, so i went to look at the new map and yea couldn’t see any ruins anywhere. I thought may it was bugged or something and decided to wait till next time.

I just checked the wiki to see if there’s any info there, but there wasn’t and the daily lists still shows Master of Ruins in the mix.

Please replace this as soon as possible. I don’t have much time for WvW and this used to give me a few badges i need reasonably fast. It would be nice to get at least one daily in world v world that’s comparative to the old Master of Ruins, or the Veteran Slayer.

Well, I just finished a tour of the Ehmry Bay borderlands, and about all I found that MAY be an equivalent for the ruins would be the shrines. As there’s an increasing bonus depending on the number of shrines held, it could be that this would eventually be substituted, but that’s just speculation on my part. I also noted some Wyverns in the northeast corner, but personally, I just am not particularly keen to tackle them solo (yeah, a bit of a yellow streak there) for some strange reason. At least the old ‘daily’ veterans could be soloed.

Don’t worry first thing first, like harvesting nodes nerf. Removing these 2 is way to much to handle for the monkey at the wvw office.

Shrines DO currently count for the Land Claimer daily, just like sentries. I don’t know how much work it would take to make Shrines a daily in their own right, but it would still not be quite as easy as the old Master of Ruins.

Last I checked, the wyverns where a fairly easy kill, although with annoying CC. Killed one that was standing on the hero point some time ago (dunno if its been nerfed to a channel as it was that the last time I ran by, maybe someone had killed it just before, cant remember).

Why are there no ruins of power now, especially since they keep asking me to complete them for dailies???

Makes me want to stomp and cuss…dagnabbit.

I was just about to make a thread about this…

Headed to WvW… No ruins…

Headed to an Altar… After 10 minutes of kittening walking and defeating 5 air elementals in 10 seconds I realised that “this is not a ruin kitten ”

So I headed to LA where I can get all the info I may want to know… A fellow lad told me that ANET “by kittening mistake” forgot to update the wvw daily system…

I said this is bullkitten so I get to the wvw forum… aaaaaand

Surprice!

They DID kittening forget it…. (my apologise to the guy I did not believe first… You ANET do OWE my an apologise!)

How can you be so freakin’ unprofessional?

Unbelievable!

I understand, that they maybe forgot about that. But the fact, that it took them 2 weeks to nerf a feature in wvw, but such a bug still isn’t fixed is just awkward. Every day i look at the dailys and see master of ruins or veteran slayer. And every time i see it i feel like this bug is yelling at me “look, we don’t care”

It seems like they have too many development teams that are not paying attention to what other teams are doing. So we have, say, a Daily Event team that isn’t aware of the changes being planned by the Desert Borderlands team for removal of Ruins and vet creatures. Or a Guild Hall Upgrade team that isn’t aware of the planned removal of level 80 centaurs along with a Desert Borderlands team that isn’t aware of the planned need for Heavy Supply Bags for upgrades. Apparently nobody is coordinating the efforts at a higher level, figuring out every system that might be affected by any given change and alerting the other teams. Apparently during team discussions of changes nobody thinks to ask “who else might have a stake in this?” Everyone has a narrow focus on their own task and nobody has an overview.

Somewhere along the way it seems as if lessons learned are being forgotten, as well. For example, the old Skill Points had two uses. One use was for character development (unlocking skills and traits) and the other use was as a currency for the Mystic Forge. This had the potential to cause a bit of confusion, so they simplified it by dividing Skill Points into Hero Points, used ONLY for character development, and Spirit Shards, used ONLY as a currency. Then they threw the principle entirely out the window and introduced Proofs of Heroics, which have two uses, one use for character development (unlocking Hero Points) and one use as a currency for the purchase of superior siege. They solved a problem then turned around and re-introduced the same problem in a new place (while making it worse by having the Proofs be soulbound tokens outside the wallet system).

I’m beginning to think ArenaNet should rename itself to AnarchyNet.

Should take a look at this post:

That’s because it involves their precious economy and there were other forces at work.

Q: But what about the stuff that actually involves playing WvW?
A: What? Playing what?
