Looks like records will be missing the games between hotfixes
Thanks for the report and the suggested work-arounds.
I’ll see if this is a known issue or if we can have someone review to see if it’s “working as intended.” 
Okay, I got bored and decided to fix the links in this sticky as well as make them more readable. Mods, feel free to use the quote option to copy and paste the below forum code I provided with fixed links to replace the broken links and such in the OP:

Happy to help, shadow. I put in that note just in case it still applies, but I imagine it does not.
In any event, I’m glad that’s all sorted now.

What dailies do ppl hate?
Apparently anything that might be slightly different than what they were used to with the old system.
Teon — let’s be fair. The system changed in significant ways, and some players are going to prefer the new one, others the old. I don’t think it’s fair to flag the feedback here (or at least all the feedback here
) as a straight comment or whine against change itself. Try to view the input more along the lines of “I liked the old system better” or even “I think [this change] would have been preferable.” In the end, each player is entitled to his/her opinion and is free to share it here (as long as it’s not off the rails on language, of course).
Disambiguation:
LAURELS
- Laurels were earned by completing the daily and monthly and are now gained by logging in.
- It will be possible to get more laurels in the new system in 28 days than it was in 28-31 days before (Max of 55 available now, max of 38-41 available before). Obviously, this calculation excludes laurels from achievement milestone chests.
- At various stages during the 28 days, a player will be either behind or ahead in laurel acquisition compared to the old system.
- A greater percentage of the total available laurels are back-loaded. In the old system, a greater percentage were front-loaded because 25% were from the monthlies, which could be completed in as little as one day.
- Before, if one completed every daily and the monthly and played 27 days in a 30 day month, one was out 3 laurels. Now, one would be out the 20 laurels in the Chest of Plentiful Laurels available as a choice on Day 28. However, one would only be out 2 laurels compared to the old system (37 then v. 35 now).
ACHIEVEMENT POINTS
- AP’s were earned at the rate of 1 AP per one task, with a daily cap of 12 and a monthly cap of 100. Total AP in a 30 day month before was 460, and is currently 300.
- Minimum AP rewarded assuming total completion every day in a 30 day month before was (30×5)+100=250. Currently it would still be 300. There is no difference in AP totals for completing more than the minimum tasks needed for completion.
OTHER REWARDS
- The other old daily rewards were Karma, XP, Mystic Coin, Luck and a chance at a Gem Store item. These rewards were tied to daily completion (5 tasks). Now, all but the XP aand Karma are tied to daily login. XP is part of the login rewards but is also available in the new rewards.
- These rewards are not awarded daily. Instead, they are awarded a few times in each 28 day cycle.
- If one logs in all 28 days, one will be likely to get more gem store items, will get more XP and luck and will get a lot fewer Mystic Coins with the new system.
NEW REWARDS
- The reward chests for the daily tasks are a new reward system. Karma and XP are in at least some of the chests, along with other rewards (Wintersday stuff right now, crafting materials, WXP, etc) that were not part of the old daily rewards.
THE TASKS
- Before, each daily would present 12 tasks. 2 were WvW specific, 2 were sPvP specific. The remaining 8 could include some that were PvE specific. The rest were more generic (could be earned in most PvE zones and in WvW).
- In the old system, there were 12 daily tasks. There are still 12 daily tasks.
- Of the 12 tasks available now, there are 4 tasks each for PvE, WvW and sPvP. Like it or not, this system favors no one mode whereas the old system favored PvE only players.
- Three tasks are now required for completion versus the old five tasks.
- The PvE tasks are less generic. Before, it was possible to get the daily reward playing in most PvE zones — though there were occasional days where this might not be possible.
Thanks for the breakdown
I agree — that’s really helpful information. Thanks, IndigoSundown!
I’m curious how the profession statistics were generated and how they would be reliably generated for a new chart. For example if I have 6 characters all of different professions, would my account put 1 “vote” for each of those professions into the respective columns? Or would the statistics be sophisticated enough to realize I spend 90% of my time on two of the characters, 9% of the time on three of them, and 1% of the time on the storage mule?
In other words, the profession “count” in cases like mine would need to be weighted.
That is a really good question. I’m going to ask one of the people who works with stats about this. I figured it was “how many of XX profession have been made” as a general marker of “people choose YY most” or “Most players make ZZ as their first profession” but it’d be cool if it was more weighted to actual play hours… and it well may be.
I can say that I’m sure we all make our mules Norns because they’re bigger and clearly can hold more stuffs, right? )

Wasn’t this what the whole pvp revamp was supposed to do? Why do we have to wait for another revamp to fix the problems with this revamp?
We’re like to iterate and continue to improve. Something we can do much faster with the back-end servers.
Because even if they made it a guaranteed item if you put in [x] number of items for, players would complain that it’s too grindy.
Make it an item easily attainable, and people complain it’s not special when everyone has it.
What’s your suggestion that pleases everyone? Because I (and I’m sure Arena.net) would love to hear it.
Yes, you’re absolutely right. We’d love to here those suggestions. In the appropriate thread.

Please understand: I do hear the concerns about RNG. I do not profess to be a master of the subject of game economies but sure, I understand the concerns. I just want to point out that this thread isn’t about RNG and the items in questions are available in the TP, so I think we’re covered. (Meaning, let’s keep the RNG discussion in the appropriate thread, please. )
I just want to say that as a long-time gamer, I totally understand and embrace the concept of rarity as an important factor in games and their economies. Maybe come would dispute it, but as far as I understand it, RNG is part of the system that ensures that items hold value. Until I’m convinced there’s a viable alternative (and yes, in the other threads, which I will read!) I can’t view RNG as the demonic system that it’s claimed to be… even while I’ve spent far, far too many hours trying to score the rare items myself!
If you take on board that rare items should be rare, and if you want your own rare items to hold value, then… Ah, but as I said, this thread isn’t about RNG. I’m happy we were able to share the recipe and I wish everyone the best of luck in scoring the nice Wintersday items, whether they choose to seek them or buy them on the TP.
queue times for top players have shortened in compromise for less even matches, and, thus, teams are more often facing solo players or small teams with a few pugs.
This has always been true. It happens less with the new matchmaking because we start this process later.
It was supposed to improve play by reducing the amount of times disliked maps would get chosen
It has. Our least popular map (I won’t say which) has gotten 4% of votes, and has only been selected in 4% of all games in the last 24 hours. It use to be uniform, which meant all 6 maps had a 16.7% chance of being chosen.
Last but not least: Leaderboards.
It’s a test scoring system, no the final one. One of the biggest problems is that we simply aren’t messaging any of the details to you in-game. That said, we will be taking all feedback into consideration.

Add a minimum of r20 and 50 unranked games for play ranked games. It’s easy.
So the issue for you is getting matched with inexperienced players? I don’t want to toy with the matchmaking rules for ranked while the ladder is active, but I’ll talk with the team about possibly increasing the PvP rank distance scoring for unranked arena.
We’re also looking into long term solutions to the problem, so thanks for the feedback.

With so many positive thoughts, Sylv, you’re on your way to a full recovery!
Re-do on the hugs for you.
