That’s enough. I can’t get anyone to die in order to revive them. I give up. Been looking for a corpse for several hours, no ones cooperating. It’s now 2 days without completing dailies. I don’t think I missed more than one or two since launch and now I can’t complete one. Thank you Anet. Beautiful work.

NPCs count

The people saying they like this new daily system are bunch of morons. This new system in no way, no fashion adds to this game. If what they are trying to do is drive people away from the game then… Thumbs up! Why The Hell should someone be forced to DODGE if that’s not the way they play a Ranger/Necro or whatever class. Is it easy….sure. But I never had to make sure a kitten mob got close enough to do it. Why should I now? Oh yeah, so I can complete the #$$%^&*^%$ daily.

And keeping it the same old stuff day in day out was adding to the game?

and I still cant believe that some ppl are moaning over the fact they have to craft 10 lvl 1 items which basically u get your money back selling anyway. Geezus do u want it handed on a plate to u?

My point was the daily dodge thing. dont expect to dodge things that your pet kills or u can one hit. I replied to the post as a ranger that doesnt need to stow a pet to try and dodge something it or I can one hit cos thats just being lazy. I merely suggested karkas as something that doesnt take one hit. And I disagree with the course of ‘normal’ play to some point because if yer a level 80 (say without any alts) whats the course of ‘normal’ play? The variety is welcomed with me as opposed to the same old reptativeness

You’re making assumptions (perhaps the same erroneous way that ANet did) about ‘normal gameplay.’ The point about invoking user centered design is that ‘normal’ game play is defined by the user(s) themsel/ves. What’s normal to you isn’t normal to me.

and by the way its crafting 10 things on that particular daily…. 10 x lvl 1 dough balls or w/e is lowest on the tier. Big deal….. i dont how u will manage it being max craft, its too hard to craft 10 lowest level tier items I bet

And why would I want 10 balls of dough? To throw it away? To make 10 pies to eat quickly toward my eating 1000 things achievement? It’s a waste of time and resources (in my opinion). I don’t farm the game for money. I play to have fun. I’m not going to go buy stuff to crank out a daily requirement. Waste is waste. Yeah some people probably will just roll their eyes, but I’m not rich and rolling in gold, and I won’t ever be.

You have your opinion, I have mine. Waste and lack of fun, things that just seem a forced way to send me in search of specific goals instead of letting me finish map completion on my characters is … silly. I was already out in the world seeing it over and over again. It seems that in their haste to force players to see the world, they are implementing punitive tasks rather than creative fun and play. If you can’t see the difference, I don’t know how much more I can wave hands and type to try to convey this.

Want me to dodge 15 times? Make a monster that if I don’t dodge, it hurts. Want me to use combo fields? Create a monster that only takes damage from one. Want me to go to kill karka? Oh wait I just killed a 1000 of them for another achievement, no thanks.

I made no assumptions. I responded to your post. You had already posted your own assumption about what was ‘normal gameplay’ and yes I agree whats normal to you isnt normal to me which is why I quoted you on it. Then you contradict yourself over it lol

Also, I love that you say that it has become a “calculated task” when beforehand it was literally fulfilling the exact same requirements every day, as if repeatedly doing that wasn’t a grindfest… At least ArenaNet is trying to spice things up rather than leaving us with the same boring requirements every day.

+1

bit silly isnt it given the rewards. But then again u know that comment wasnt aimed at u (then again maybe it was if you begrudge spending that to get yer daily reward)

3) You assume I play in Orr and do dungeons every day. Not going to go into my play habits, but … surprise, I don’t do anything ‘every day’ except try to get my PvP and PvE daily’s done.

contradict much?

lol are u that tight that u wouldnt spend like a mere silver on crafting 10 of the lowest tier items to get the daily reward?

think alot of ppl missed the point of this thread

I think the point was is that they are trying to vary the dailies as opposed to keeping them the same. Also the new laurel rewards are more motivation to complete them as these rewards werent around before

and by the way its crafting 10 things on that particular daily…. 10 x lvl 1 dough balls or w/e is lowest on the tier. Big deal….. i dont how u will manage it being max craft, its too hard to craft 10 lowest level tier items I bet

Im also a ranger (mainly shortbow but long for some aoe) and i had no problem at all with that daily. You don’t need to put yer pet on passive just stop fighting things that your pet insta kills (im assuming u went to a low level mob to try to get yer dodge quota). easiest is karkas, fire at one, stay out of line of sight of your pet and just dodge, or better still go to a karka vet or event in southsun cove.

The first lot of dailies (pre-midnight) were a little annoying with that whole combo thing. What I thought were combo fields and finishers didnt seem to make any sense etc when getting the kills. But anyway, I think its alot better and more varied having differenciating dailies and im happy with it

Not everyone is going to be able to go to fight karkas for their daily, and not everyone who can will want to.

Daily achievements should be something that can be completed during the course of normal play — that is what was so great about the ‘old’ daily’s. You could just pick up where you left off in zone completion and go, and at some point you’d know you would finish your daily (unless you were somewhere weird like Orr, and mob variety was low, but then you could go somewhere else briefly or alt etc).

If time was of the essence or you didn’t feel like doing map completion you could hop to a low level zone and do some events, and pick the daily’s up along the way.

You could also do them in WvW.

Now by making them ‘overly creative’ in nature, it’s getting more problematic to just finish them as you wander the world.

Oh … craft things? Wait, I have all my crafts at max 400. I don’t NEED to craft anything. And the crafted things are generally worth less on the TP. Uhm. Great. So I have to take some cloth or ore or wood and grind it up, or take time each day to cook (not something fun) and churn out goods. This is silly.

Combos? Combos happen all the time. But to have to FORCE it? And with another player? What if I don’t see anyone because I’m in a low pop zone and it’s 4am? Do I miss out on my daily because no one is around? That’s absolutely stupid. Yes it’s an MMO but I shouldn’t be forced to get this done by running around and looking for other people to do a combo field.

Dodging? I dodge or sometimes I’ll soak. Sometimes I’ll dodge early, oh wait that doesn’t count!

You’re making it overly complex to get rewarded for playing. It’s not FUN any more.

Kill things underwater? Wait, with the 20 other people all crammed into the same spot fighting over mobs? sigh

Try to think things through. Please.

Did you let someone go into a black hole somewhere and get carried away with designing this, and toss user centered design out the window, and throw away use cases?

My point was the daily dodge thing. dont expect to dodge things that your pet kills or u can one hit.

plus…. the new shortcut to checking your dailies is nice

Binny.7519:

As a Ranger I demand that all my pets get a dodge ability so that I can complete the dodge daily without having to turn my pet off. As it is, I have to put my pet on passive and get in close and tight with my shortbow.

I feel silly doing it. But some would say I should feel silly picking a ranger anyway. I dislike the new dailies.

Agree, I was completing each area fully as I was levelling my first char to 80, I got up to about 92% before I needed to explore the WvW areas and once those were done that got me to 100%.

Saw a Sylvari called Jamie Leaf Curtis

I keep coming across a bug whereby it tells me I cant teleport to a waypoint or equip items (such as gathering tools) because I am in combat – even when Im not in combat. This carries on for several minutes and I have to log out to the character screen and then back in again. Ive tried dancing, sitting, waiting and yet still tells me im in combat even tho my weapons have been sheathed for several minutes and there are no mobs around. This only happens to me on my thief.

Hi, we are a small guild of around 20 (all active) we enjoy gaming and voice chats (not a requirement). We are small because we like to get to know ppl first rather than numbers. Some of us are from UK, but we also have ppl from netherlands, france etc. we like to pve/wvw/events/dungeons etc. and can accommodate those who work All levels are welcome we play on Piken Square. If you would like more info pls message Artful Arrow) We also have most guild upgrades (min lvl 4)

Considering the bits n pieces (and precursors) needs for the legendary Its just a waste of time imo just for a graphic/animation on the weapon. Alot of the ones that got their legendaries quickly I bet were botters (not saying all, just some). Take the Twilight on TP atm, I mean who would go through all the rigor of putting one together only to put it on the TP for a ridiculous price? I’m betting botters/gold farmer as the list price is like 315G. But anyhoo, I feel they arent worth the time and effort, maybe when they do put in the scavenger hunt it will make it a bit easier to actually get a precursor, but for the time being why bother.

There’s plenty of ways to get that amount of karma at that level. as Sinos said do your dailies! Te liquid karma jug for that alone is about 5k. Two days and theres your 10k! Other than that do more events and use any karma boosting items you get (either fro black lion chests, with reward keys) or maybe your guild could give you a few karma boosters (banners etc). Would also suggest doing more events around the world.
