After Halloween this year, expecting any significant change at all to Wintersday is…optimistic.

Focused Solar Logging Tool does 4 gathers per click instead of 3, which is nice for when the WvW bonus grants extra swings.

Likewise the Glitter Bomb Harvesting Tool does 3 gathers per click instead of 1. Again, nice for wvw bonus gathers, and perfect for guild hall harvesting.

Nothing compares to the Watchwork Mining Pick though.

Poll to remove Daily Achivement Cap?

The poll would only be available to people who have hit the cap and are currently the ones being affected.

First, that’s not how surveys work; At the very least ask everyone, then split the results based on the person’s Daily AP level. Second, that’s like saying “have a poll on if student loans should be forgiven, but only ask people with 200K+ debt since they’re the ones most affected.”

- Don’t remove the cap, I’m an elitist and don’t want people to be able to get daily achievement points beyond the current cap.

Biased survey choice much there?

I’m tired of scrimping and scraping to get a mere 1, 2, or 3 achievement points at a time.

That’s kind of how achievement systems work. the closer you are to completing all of them, the harder it is to get the final ones (since those are the hardest). Most games don’t have a daily repeatable system to add points, since that circumvents the basic idea of “more points = more achieved”

I’m beginning to tire of doing things and getting zero reward achievement-wise.

Then stop doing them. That’s part of the point of having a cap, there’s a finish line that one can achieve.

As an open question, I have to wonder: What are your thoughts on uncapping the achievement points from “Agent of Entropy?” It’s almost the exact same situation as the daily AP cap, the only difference being that’s a cap that the average player can reasonably reach. Would you be okay if they removed the cap on that?

Hardened Leather Section

If they let us gather leather from dead animals the economy of leather would be normalized.

Would it be normalized, or would leather go back to being utterly worthless? They have to worry about things going too far in the other direction too, you know.

Before the expansion came out, both T5 and T6 leather sections were pretty much bottomed out on the marketplace: Thick Leather Sections were 9 copper, with a supply over 15 million, and Hardened Leather Sections were 10 copper, with a supply over 5 million. This was how T5/6 leather was since basically launch, 3 years of it being so worthless people were begging Arenanet for a way to downgrade T5 into T4 leather (which was worth over 2s at the time, more than 20x).

I mean, it’s not THAT much work to go to google and type “1337 days ago” and click the first result…

Update, did the second event in Kessex hills. 15 stacks this time, still no reward, sounds like most of the folks in map chat also received no reward.

The first invasion of the 4-day event just ended. It seems to have a format where you complete events to get a stacking buff, which affects your reward at the end of the 30-minute invasion.

I had 12 stacks at the end of the event, but did not receive any reward. This seems to have been a common but not completely widespread problem: some folks got rewards, some didn’t. folks with less stacks got rewards, folks with less stacks didn’t, folks with more stacks got rewards, folks with more stacks didn’t.

also, everyone got 5 blooms regardless of how many stacks they had

Tower Down (64) Personal Story Quest

Just want to add an anecdote confirming Valkaneer’s advice. The first time I tried to do this quest I got stuck after clearing the beach as everyone else did. The second time I specifically left the veteran preserver up last, and the cutscene played right after it died.
