New SPvP Daily Achivements
The Dailys are good for the game; Bad for achievement farmers.
Daily actually takes about the same time for me to finish.
Influx of players trying Tque and Soloque with buddies; good
Pve heros complaining they cant ezfarm all achievements in hotjoin: good

I hope you realise this influx will be very short term. And as a matter of fact there are already tournament win achievements so any completionist is already very avid tournament players so I don’t really see it as an influx but rather an exodus.
Is the influx temporary? Who can really say.. I think the pvp population will quadruple in the short term and only double in the long term so .. I mean.. it’s still going to be an influx probably.
Cup half empty huh?
Of course the influx is temporary, it has been proven numerous times after updates regarding PvP that after patch day it only goes downhill.
I’m a strong believer Positive low percentage growth…
Yesterday maybe 10k people played pvp; that’s 9k more then all of the past 6 months..
If 500 stick around that’s good enough for me for the first phase of rewards…
Next phase in two weeks another 500?
We don’t need 10,000 people running around screaming howto2capdoe? Every day..
Small Steady positive growth as Pvp adds more features and is made more fun to play for a more wide demographic of people is the only way.

Keep on grinding with your farmbuddies man. PvE community you are so proud of.
The op has no idea what he’s talking about. You only need 4 of them, it’s just an additional way to get AP or the daily in general.
I used to run the Academy Gaming tournaments for GW2.
Definitely a poorly thought out achievement. It should be “play 3 solo queue games” and “play 3 tpvp games”. Either of those should also count towards the “play 3 matches” daily as well.

Judging by solo queue leaderboards where you are rank 618 and I’m rank 16 I’d say you should go farm in PvE buddy.

You may only need to do 4 of them to get the daily chest, but if you are a completionist you don’t miss out on point purposely.

You are only up there because of broken decay. Soloque rating is also determined by complete randomness.. Please never brag about your soloque rank again.
Pvp dailys should give extra rewards to pvpers not pve completionists.

No actually it’s very well thought out to prevent Afking matches like in prior daily achievements.

I already pointed out earlier in the thread that I don’t value solo queue ranking at all. I however do know for a fact that if you are any good you can easily get into the top 100, something you haven’t accomplished. I’m as much of a PvPer as anyone in this thread, and all you seem to argue for is to have these dailies in here so you can sit there and enjoy other people’s misfortune.
Very well thought out to prevent afking is just laughable. You were required to get 5 kills, 3 caps and top stats before. Something you can’t achieve by afking. And still if people only care about the actual chest, this won’t remove any of the previous problems. So if you’re stubborn enough to imply people akitten for the daily chest before, that would probably still be the case.
Good for the game? don’t let me laugh. Solo and team queue are so ‘meta only’, ‘zerg only’, ‘burst only’ ‘bunker only’ (to succeed), that it’s no fun.
Zerging to win anet? really? You guys got a lot to learn. Basically the teams that stays together with most ppl (4-5) ppl ripping solo people apart wins (if they arent complete noobs). You both slow down enemy AND you get points for it. So they loose both points by the kill points and cap points at same time. This is the only Meta strategy there is in pvp. And cause people take tournements seriously, people only play meta.
If Anet wants to balance spvp without removing the zerg-to-win bonus (kills give extra points, this really should be totally removed), they will have to nerf the meta non stop. XD That means more 20-50% nerfs to profession overall abilities, meaning pve will become kitten too. This game is doomed. Good to know xD
Played 5 matches in both soloQ and Team arena. Couldnt have been more dissapointed Anet.
And achievement to win? Oh please… If you end up with the least zerging team you end up with a garanteed loss. And since it’s random… yay for that.
Hotjoin for the win, even without single reward chest at the end of them.
If enemies don’t play fair in hotjoin you just leave (zerg-only with bad builds (like ranger berserker longbow build, falls under that imo.
They did so much nerfs in this game and guess what, i didn’t change a kitten. Mesmer still the kings of duels. Thief (multiple) still king of ganking. Bunkers still kings of zerging. Nothing changed. If anything the meta over non meta is stronger then ever.
And these achievements just highlight it. Makes me more certain of it. Ty for confirming you are on the wrong path anet.
No excuse anymore for not giving ‘hide mounts’-option
No thanks to unidentified weapons.
I find it funny people think TOP 100 achievement hunters are PVE players. Obviously they have no clue about this game because you cannot get that high without investing a significant amount of time in WvW and PvP.

Exactly. It is mind boggling how people seem to think AP hunters are all “PvE heroes.” There is a significant amount of AP’s tied to all aspects of the game and AP hunters dabble in everything equally. If they were to stick solely to PvE, I guarantee they would not be in the top 100.

Actually I haven’t played solo que seriously for quite some time, and my personal best was r57 which was a real rank with 200-300 games won and not a decay exploit like your personal best. Not that it matters team que is the only fair rating of skill left atm and even then it’s only marginally true, something you haven’t yourself accomplished.
r59 in team que, 9 days ago is my personal best, and we hang around the top100 bracket usually.

I’ll retract what I said on that note, I responded as if you were Adris, the guy I originally quoted, however you are not so I apologize. Just to make it clear though, I have been top 50 in team queue myself aswell, but I don’t value that either considering how few competitive teams are still left in the game.
I think I will pass on these 4 dailies again today. Wasted over an hour for not a single win because of stupid useless teams and 4v5s.
any statement of anet please?
You’re sitting here arguing for the sake of arguing when you obviously don’t care about this either way. If you’re not a completionist you won’t understand the mindset of one, and judging by your responses you do have absolutely no clue.
Now if people who only go in here with the intent’s of trolling because they couldn’t care less about the subject should think twice and maybe move on to something that actually matters to them.
It does matter to me. I want them to keep what precious little AP they’ve finally added for actual PvP players. I play both modes so I have something like 12k, but I have several friends who only play PvP who have maybe 3k-4k at tops? And you’re sitting here with 14k trying to get that taken away because you can’t be kittened doing them. That is incredibly selfish and entitled.
If this stays in the game it will turn off most of the completionists from sticking around. Temporary achievements are absurd enough to begin with, but to require people to play six hours a day without an exception repeating the same tasks amazes me. That is what is the issue.
Dude – I have bad news for you, there are unreasonable achievements LITTERED throughout this game if you’re a completionist. It takes something like 8 years of 13 hours a day of a dolyak a minute to get Yakslapper. You could probably kill a man and be out in 8 years on good behaviour. I think anyone rational has accepted that they won’t get every achievement point. If you’re complaining about the leaderboards then wow, now we actually have something to separate the hardcore from the not hardcore enough.
If their intent is to have it this way to make it “harder” to get achievement points. Then I’m fine with it, I’ll just go and do something else with my time, and ArenaNet will lose alot of their most loyal players from it, trust me.
Maybe you’re right. Maybe they were mislabeled all along. Maybe AP stands for “Attendance Points” and you get them for just logging on and frolicking around every day, not “Achievement Points”, for you know, achieving things. They should be given out for free to anyone who turns up. Guild wars isn’t quite that casual yet.
And the argument that whoever cares for achievement points are just PvEers has already been proved wrong numerous times in this thread. In fact, I’d assume quite a few of them are better at it than some of the players posting in this thread judging by their knowledge of the game.
Simply amazing. Resorting to ad hominem in defence of easily attainable achievement points. Self centered ad hominem at that.

So you can AFK or throw matches to get it done quicker at the expense of everyone else? In your dreams.

You lose every incompleted daily achievement points, any others can be done in the future. Only from daily and monthly you actualy lose if you didn’t completed. You will never get it back, so for achievement hunters every daily counts.

Exactly. You have time to do the other achievement points. Missing dailies means missing AP that you will never have a chance to get back. I would rather have a permanent “Win 1 million solo queue matches” than dailies simply because I can work on them at my own pace. If I want to do 10 games one night and then not set foot in the mists for a whole week, I can do that without getting set behind. I want the AP system to be based on more permanent additions instead of just increasing the amount of dailies dished out each day. If I want to take a week, month, or even year break, why can’t I come back and mop up everything I missed? Seems much more reasonable.

And you’re sitting here with 14k trying to get that taken away because you can’t be kittened doing them. That is incredibly selfish and entitled.
And those with 3k-4k obviously don’t care about completionism, and if boosting their sum of points was a big deal there are plenty of simpler way to do it. It’s quite obvious you’re just here to argue for the sake of argueing because you have no actual points with your post.

Yes those are unreasonable achievements and there has been plenty of complaints about the ones that are realistically impossible. There is one very big difference here though. These are permanent achievements that you can always work towards. With dailies you can miss them and they never come back.
If their intent is to have it this way to make it “harder” to get achievement points. Then I’m fine with it, I’ll just go and do something else with my time, and ArenaNet will lose alot of their most loyal players from it, trust me.

They should be given out for free to anyone who turns up. Guild wars isn’t quite that casual yet.
So you define hardcore as someone who can bore themselves out of their mind by completing the same mind numbing task for 6 hours every day of their life without a break? If ArenaNet really wants to make it compelling to be a completionist in Guild Wars 2 that is definitely not the way to go. If you believe the players with the most achievement points are casual players of the game then I suggest you go look up the word casual in a dictionary.
I’m all for hard achievements, but these aren’t hard achievements. These are timed achievements that you repeat every day designed to take up hours of your day. Of course as a completionist this is a massive deal breaker, that is why we are voicing our thoughts on it here. If this is their intent then I don’t think very many completionists will keep playing if it remains. You could claim all you want that it shows who are the real hardcore players, but the actual case would be that ArenaNet failed to make a compelling achievement point system.
And the argument that whoever cares for achievement points are just PvEers has already been proved wrong numerous times in this thread. In fact, I’d assume quite a few of them are better at it than some of the players posting in this thread judging by their knowledge of the game.

The level of responses some people in this thread has, shows complete lack of knowledge of the game they are playing, and that includes you to a certain degree. I stand by my point.
Ad hominem, handwaving, general stubborness.
Ok, I can’t argue with this! You’re entirely right.

Winning 8 matches is not a big deal. Having to win 8 matches a day is just wrong. The time requirement is completely out of touch with the other dailies, especially the PvP ones. I am all for giving (t)PvP players more/better rewards, actually I would also profit from it since i spend quite a lot of my gaming time in tPvP, but dailies are a bad way to do that.

im playing this for 4 hours already and i got 4 wins in solo arena only….this is ridiculous…i need 1 more solo win and then 3 team arena wins….so 4 more hours ahead of me gg… so basically i need 8 hours for daily pvp. thats half a day…. and im not counting pve achievements.

Sorry, but that’s just sad
4 hours and only 4 wins?
a game is like 10 min – waittime maby 5 min
so you can do 4 games per hour
4hours – you did 16 games and only win 4?
sry but you doing something wrong – maby dont trie to afk farm this archievement – its not pve
Or maybe he just got unlucky with his teams. Most teams I come across are simply horrible with no plan of anything. Very few people can carry a team with 4 noobs.
Solo queue is all about luck with your team and your opponents.

Don’t worry about me, i’m not planning to do them. Haven’t infact played a single pvp match in couple of months.
This just reminds me about certain game/s where the devs kept throwing boring/grindy dailies every few months instead of creating some fun and exciting new content.
yay another day after 4,5h daily completed.
Anet please change this asap becouse this gonna finished me soon.
This is ridiculous. Why would you even play that long for 4 kittening achievement points???
Because it gives 1460 points per year. A huge amount especially if you are in the TOP 5 like Tasslehoff.
Rewarding players for mediocrity is not the PVP way, we don’t have dolyaks dropping 2 silver poop here. If you want to earn those achievements you have to earn em the hard way.
That’s 9.7 weeks a year, he’s wasting with the hunt for 1460 points. And he doesn’t even enjoy the content he’s playing to earn it. That’s the sick thing about it.
These strike me as a reward for those that do this kind of thing anyways. Not something to go after. These dailies are for folks like Oeggs and and all the guys streaming and playing 6-8 hours of tpvp already.
I like it better when the dailies were all win based. What is the sense of achieving something if you have no chance of failure?

From a pve players perspective I like these achievements. Got me back into spvp which I remember I really enjoy. It takes a long time to do but you earn rewards while doing it and most importantly it’s fun. Sorry achievement hunters don’t want to do what it takes to hunt all the achievements but spvp players are getting more AP where it sorely lacked before and getting pve players to Pvp. I even played with a dev yesterday which makes it all worth it
Lol. In this thread: PvErs wanting to change daily from Matches won, to Matches played, since they cant win any and dont want to be bothered to win.
It’s Anet’s fault for encouraging people to win?
Playing games is a waste of time in general, so dont tell people activity xyz is a waste of time just because you do not share it.
Lol u really think all Achiev Hunters are bad in PvP? Thats not about our skill but luck in soloq. I have 2 games today with 4vs5 (4 in my team). And because of new system rewards more ppl w/o experience in tornaments ruined game for good players. Many ppl afk for reward (for losing).
Of course achievements means something not so easy to do. But please, win 8 times in two difference tournament types is a little too much.
I find Solo queue outrageous. I get worse teams than if I solo queue for team tournaments all the time.

Difference here is most people play video games for fun you sounds like you’re forcing yourself to do stuff you dont enjoy and don’t go blaming anet that they force you to do achievement grinds
