I totally agree, daily rewards is the worst idea ever for a game of this type.
Hello, as I passionate Guild Wars 2 player and enthusiast, I sincerely hope someone will listen to me on this. Lately there have been some rewards implemented that can only be received once per day, daily laurels, fractals, and world bosses for example. I read today that dungeons are planned to be in a similar fashion. I do understand the logic behind these ideas, it accomplishes 2 objectives. One is to keep players from being able to earn too much too fast, so that the casual player can keep up, and the second is to encourage people to log on regularly to receive the rewards. I do agree that these are great objectives and when accomplished will be better for the game and the players in gen]ral. However I am begging that you rethink the implementation of these objectives with daily rewards. With only the daily achievements and the world bosses, it has already begun to feel like my recreational gaming, has turned into a chore or a laundry list of things to do. This unfortunately takes the fun out of gaming for a lot of players. You have to very much consider the player base on the game. The daily/time based model has been amazingly successful for games like Farmville and some other simple Facebook and browser games. But the player base for these games is extremely different from the player base for a game like Guild Wars 2. People that play Farmville thoroughly enjoy the mindless repetitiveness of the game, and the race against the clock. Those mechanics are appealing to some and cause them to continue to log in and to play. A game like Guild Wars 2 has a very different player base. We require something more than just a reason to log in and press a button. One of the pleasures of Guild Wars 2 for me is feeling free in the game and not restrained by time or responsibilities, or things that need to be done. Please dont turn this game into a chore that needs to be completed or a race against the clock. It already is starting to feel that way with the daily rewards that have been implemented. There have been several days where I log in, and after completing my “list of things to do to not fall behind everyone else and earn rewards I want” I realize that I dont have time to do anything fun that I actually wanted to do. Being able to choose what reward I work towards in a day allows me to enjoy what I do more than having to put a little of my time in each “daily” reward category. Between the dailies, and the world bosses, and the daily fractals, all for gear or weapons, I dont get to enjoy the the parts of the game that are actually fun. A daily reward makes you feel like you have to do something, before you run out of time. Its a play on a part of the human psyche. But having to do something takes the fun out of it and turns it into mindless work. While this is acceptable to some people, I play to be challenged, I play to test my own skill and intelligence. I play to socialize, and I play to relax and have fun. If I wanted brain numbing clicking and needed an excuse of the clock to do it, I would already be playing Farmville and would have never spent money on Guild Wars 2.
This happens to me from time to time also without any obvious reason why.
Still no carrion gear? I also feel stealth nerfed. This is just terrible.
I really really hope!
Power/toughness/CD is NOT available either as the original poster has suggested, I would be able to use that in place of a carrion. Unfortunately precision and crit cannot by used by my build at all. Until carrion or Power/toughness/CD ascended pieces become available pristine relics and laurels and guild events are useless to me. I hope these items are planned for the next patch! Please!
Can anybody please tell me if the exotics you pick up from fractals are accountbound or not? That would be helpful, thank you.
Every exotic I have recieved from fractals over the last month is accountbound. When I first noticed this at the beginning of February the items did not say they were accountbound but I just could not sell them. After much complaining the items now say accountbound, along with every other exotic Ive picked up from there. I have 9 different gear, weapons, and accessories now in my bank that Im not sure what to do with. It feels almost criminal to throw them away by forging them or salvaging them, but I cant use them on any of my characters. Has anyone else encountered this and knows if its a bug or if its intentional? My husband says hes not experienced this but he hasnt been in fractals as much as I have and Im wondering if hes mistaken. Any advice is appreciated, thank you!
I have been having the same problem. Every single exotic item I have picked up in fractals since February 3rd has been accountbound. Not just sigils/runes, but gear and weapons too. I thought fractals was supposed to be a way to get good loot to sell at the ah for gold but I find Im making better money in dungeons that dont drop accountbound exotics. Im assuming this must be a bug because my husband is not having this problem on his account. When it first started happening it did not say “accountbound” on the item and I complained about several times. Now everything says accoundbound and I have almost 1 whole bank slot full of stuff I cant use. What am I supposed to do, any ideas?
