Guild Wars 2

This new WvW daily achievement is just too time consuming. Gaining 2 WvW ranks, can take hours, and is much more time consuming than any other daily achievements. It should be lessened to obtaining 1 WvW rank.

You can do another daily achievement. OR buy ranks with laurels & badges

I have the feeling this daily is designed for people who exclusively WvW and they gain 2-4 ranks per night.

Gaining 2 ranks in wvw doing camps takes under 90mins. If you are trying to follow a zerg it can take longer because you can fail at taking tower/keeps or get wiped but enemy zergs. In terms of wxp PvD(flipping entire maps without resistant)>havoc(flipping camps killing roamers, and vet harpy/worg/worm)>zerging(attacking/defending towers/keeps looking for enemy zerg).

Buy ranks with laurels so you can do dailies to get laurels.

I guess I would put this in perspective of “Leveler” daily that requires you to gain one level. Seems a little off scale to me as it probably pretty difficult to get “World Ranker” without getting “Leveler” at least once if not more (largely due to dynamic event completion).

Someone mentioned doing supply camps for this. Let’s pretend that you also get 1 yak kill per camp on average and ~150 WXP for guard killing (correct me here if you like). Yak is 50 WXP and Camp is 200 WXP. 5000*2 / (50+200+150) = flipping 25 camps. Of course you’ll get some other WXP in there perhaps for sentries too, so we could bump to only 20 camps to be closer. (http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/WXP)

Now let’s look at the experience you’d get. Just from dynamic events, you get 7% of a level per event (http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Experience). Let’s say that’s 2 events per camp (yak and camp itself). That’s only 7 camps worth that would get the the equivalent “Leveler” daily, excluding any other experience you get from doing just about literally anything else.

I’m sure my numbers are wrong in places (especially if the 7% of level is wrong please correct me) – but that seems pretty poor to me that you would get “Leveler” more than 3 times over (at least) while going for “World Ranker” in the fashion described. The only way to not get “Leveler” at all would likely to be a siege monkey (build/repair) or maybe a zerger that kills players for low xp and completes no events.

I play WvW very casually with alting, so maybe I’ll just start to leave characters right before getting their next level so I have a shot.

I agree. Should be 1 rank and not 2

It’s a self-sustaining economy!!!

I agree 2 levels is way to time consuming. I can do any other daily achievement in much less time unless I waste laurels for this or hord WXP potions.

Good thing you don’t have to complete ALL dailies then, aye?

Adding more WvW specific dailies is a good idea, since some of us more or less only play WvW, and we should have the same ability to get our dailies done as PvEers.

It is good as it is, there are plenty of other achievements for the casuals to get.

I get 15+ ranks a day when I play, so 2 is nothing for me.

Yup. 2 levels is way too high for a ‘casual’ player. Optionally this could be changed to ‘gather 1.000 WXP under any form’, since this would then also reflect the other WvW daily categories such as:
- 5 sentinels : 5x 100 WXP
- 3 camps: 3x 200 WXP
- 1 tower: 1x 400 WXP.
- 20 players: (1-20) x 60WXP

That is why their are multiple dailies. I find the daily dungeon/fractals not possible for me since I mostly do wvw. Still get my daily done within 1-2hrs of play in wvw (tower, champ, gathering, land, kills, kill variety, camps, so on). Some days the daily is done within 30min of wvw. The only issue I see is that some are trying to complete all 10-12 dailies instead of 5.

Also, the amount of wxp you get per camp is 120 for guards/lord, 100 for 2 yaks, 200 for cap. It can be from 200-420wxp depending if you are in a big zerg or solo. It takes me 13-15mins to flip 3camps, kill 3 sentries, and the vet worg/harpy/worm with various encounters in between when solo.

gaining wvw ranks is faster in balanced matches – when you are outnumbered …it’s hard to rank up because you can’t stay on the field long enough – when you outnumber someone else – it’s hard to get new points vs an empty server that doesn’t take their land back or hardly comes on the field. So I have to say it works great for me – I’ve gotten 5+ ranks in like 3 hours of game play – in balanced fights. – where we are constantly losing land and taking it back.

If you want to compete in achievement highscores you have no choice but doing as many dailies, monthlies and living story as you can. So this daily which takes more effort than 10 other dailies combined seems out of order.

Mommy! Daddy! The big mean achievement point monster is making me do a tiny bit of work! Please Nerf it.

Sometimes, life isn’t fair for you, but fine for me. I thing just stepping into a fractal should give me the daily instead of actually doing it because I dislike fractals. Let’s Nerf it. Letts make gathering 1 node, kill variety 2 different mobs ect.

This is the wrong sub forum if you are looking for sympathy or support.

So you basically want to be the “best” without having to do the work to be so?
It is not even close to “more effort than 10 other dailies combined”.

I gain the same amount of ranks per day in any match-up when I am outnumbered on a borderland doing camps. When against t1 server or Mag (on the weekend) it is a bit harder to solo but it is still possible. None of the servers have given me any issue when I do camps even when I am on a outnumbered borderland.

Against t1 servers it is difficult to solo because their is a HIGH chance of encounter enemies zergs/havoc squads at any camp. Maguuma dislike anyone on their borderland after reset, so they tend to camp the spawning points but if you get pass that, you can still take the northern camps. As long as people are retaking camps it is easy to rank up. Pick fights that you believe you can win or instantly kill an enemy to even up the numbers a bit, 2v4 to 2v3 in the first seconds.

Way to miss the point. Fractal daily = 5-10 minutes.

Mmm, I still pretty much agree with everyone who says it’s fine.
You don’t have to get all the dailies, if you’re serious about WvW this will come without noticing, if you’re not, you have other ways of getting your daily. “Achievement competing” (lol) is no reason to change this.
There are PvE dailies which take more than 15 minutes, too, World Ranker is fine as it is.

If you are finding the rank so hard to get just roll a couple of fresh characters and push them through for easy rank ups.
