Guild Wars 2

When they introduced leaderboards, anet specified it was to bring some form of competition to the game (my guess is because they’re still working torward e-sport…). Unfortunately a leaderboard that contains achievements from daily and monthly is everything but competitive, like many said it just shows whose been playing longer, and that’s zero competition to me. In the end it will most likely end up the same for most people but the few at the top, ‘nobody cares’.

It would also be easy to avoid having the achievements stale at one point since everyone would have them, just increase the max possible for each one we have right now, like a slayer achievement could be increase to 2k, 5k, 10k kills, instead of capping at 1k.

As the title say, there’s a bug about not getting daily chest/big chest from world boss. I know there has been several post since the new update about this thing, and that most of the time it was just the poster that was not aware of the new rules, but I beleive this is not the case here. I have been doing 10+ event everyday since the day rares were implemented into world boss event (both before and after the march 26th update). Thing is, I have several lv 80 characters, most of wich I don’t use anymore, and they are all parked at world boss event location.

The bug is, that if you loging at the location of the world boss, during the event, you will not receive both the daily chest, AND the normal big chest.

Here’s an example that happened 2 days ago. (note that I haven’t done dwayna 2 days prior to this)

I’m on my warrior doing the dwayna temple event. Did most of the pre-event till the last phase (statue fight). At the start of the statue battle, a guildie calls in guild chat that maw is going, and knowing dwayna is a long fight, I relog on another alt to do the event. Cleared maw, then logged back on my warrior. I had relogged right where the event was going on. The fight was still going, and the statue still had 50% hp. Did the rest of the battle, and at the end did not receive both the daily chest, and the big chest. I did get a gold medal. Note that this was also 4 hours after the daily reset.

Roughly 2 hours later, I redid the temple, with the same character, without relogging, and got both chest.

Since the march 26th update, I have seen this happend quite a few times. I can’t say this goes for every event out there, but I can tell this happened to me at the shatterer, tequalt (3 times), fire elemental, and mark II golem. All in all, everytime I logged in DURING the event (not the pre-event, but the boss battle) at the location of the fight, I have not gotten both the big chest and daily reward, 100% of the times (that’s 9 times on 9 so far).

Just 10 minutes ago, I logged in on my elementalist, that was parked at tequalt. As I logged in, he was up with 95% hp left. I told myself, well this is a good time to test if what I’m thinking is right, so I went and did the fight, attacked the entire time, got gold medal, but again, not the big nor daily chest. (7 hours after daily reset, and I remember doing teq yesterday just after the daily reset, so there’s 30+ hours difference between both fights)

And that’s it, I’m hoping this is an actual bug, and not my account that is bugged.

Or instead you could have something like ‘kill 30 champions’ or something instead of dungeons, or complete a few of the major quests in orr (the temple of baltazar, grenth, etc…), they still require grouping somehow, but at least it would be in the open world.

Sure would be nice having a monthly without dungeons or fractals for once :|

Also happened to D3 very recently, wich is one of the main reason a ton of people quit playing. It’s always easier to nerf a few good things then buff many bad things, this game is no exception.

Not surprised with this nerf really, they did say not too long ago that some class had 2 good builds, and some had 5, and they wanted all class to have 5-6 good playable builds. After this nerf it’s clear to me that what they intend to do is nerf the actual good builds so we’re all left with 5-6 equal bad ones. I’m expecting much more nerfs in the near future.

Oh well…

Removed? thank you, and by all means, never, ever bring it back, even if you do get it working.

Did they stop giving reward for the JP ? It’s 3 days in a row I open the chest and get nothing.
