I immediately noticed this and it drives me mad, especially because the animation has the hand idle in front of the chest after loosing an arrow when it could clearly be reaching for another in the quiver. FIX IT PLEASE!!! Not that they will…
Exactly. There is PLENTY of time for the character to reach back and grab another. I am not even sure how it was affected in the first place as the warriors autocast remains the exact same.
I hope devs are reading these kind of threads.
Dailies were meant to reward players that were just “playing the game normally”, but there’s a few problems that prevent dailies from working like that. One of the biggest reasons for that, is how uneven dailies are.
From my experience, doing gathering + leveling + daily kills, plus a few other stuff like that, can take between 20 minutes and an hour or more, depending on what other side-stuffing you are doing, where you decide to go, etc. That’s fine. You can explore the world while doing dailies, and in this sense, the devs have acchieved what they wanted.
Likewise, recently-added wvw dailies also allow wvw players to get dailies done by just playing normally.
However, doing fractals, or a dungeon, takes about as much time as doing 3-6 other taily tasks. And THAT’s unfair. If someone wants to spend 40 minutes doing a dungeon (cof1 is the exception, let’s ignore that abomination), that player will only get 1/5 of the dailies done (sometimes, depending on the day, 2 or 3 dailies, and sometimes even none). This FORCES a dungeon/ fractals player to do stuff they don’t want to do, which is annoying. There needs to exist more dungeon dailies, or the current ones should be worth more.
Also, dailies are very restricting and punishing to players who can’t log in everyday. There should exist some sort of system that allows you to finish the dailies from the last 1-2 days. That’s because sometimes, depending on each player’s mood and time, there are days where they might not feel playing GW2 much (or just doing pvp or a dungeon or something), and there are days where those same players spend hours in the game. Dailies currently treat those players unfairly: they should get the same amount of laurels for having the same dedication to the game, but they don’t, because the current daily system has a very strict schedule.
Fix those issues, and dailies will truly feel what they were intended to be: a reward add-on for doing normal stuff, instead of something that forces you to do side-stuff and takes away from your precious time.
You hit the nail on the head my friend. I also want to add, if you compare the amount of effort required for the PvP daily to the PvE daily, there is a huge difference. Even when they increased the amount of effort it required by changing the 5 player kills to 20, or the addition of the 4 “unique maps played,” it was still easily doable in less than 30 minutes. Sometimes I want to do a FoTM run, sometimes I don’t. On the days that this is the daily and I don’t feel like doing it, I try to get a group together to run swamp, lvl 1, and just end the run there. Kill Mossman or Bloomhunger and leave the instance when the daily is complete. If you look back, the previous dailies, they TRULY rewarded you for “playing how you want to play.” They were generic, do these 5 events, kill unique creatures, and do some gathering. If you aren’t doing these things, you are truly sitting in LA. Even by doing WvW, events, unique players/mobs, and gathering all take place.
Also, about the restriction that it places on players to have them log-in every single day is bothersome. WoW (some people may hate me for this) changed the way the daily dungeon functioned just for this reason. It enabled players to not have to log in on a daily basis just to get the dungeon out of the way. Instead, they have 7 each week where they can do them when they have the time. If you have Saturday off and want to run dungeons all day, go for it! If you want to run one each day of the week, you can do that too! Either way, if you did it, you got it done. Why not change the dailies to work along these lines? Instead of wiping them out every 24 hours, allow them to be completed over the course of a few days, lifting this “must log in each day” mentality. I can’t tell you how many times the daily is going to be leveler and then boom, I level 2 minutes before the daily reset. Or I capture a camp in WvW 20 seconds before that becomes the new daily. Or, we just spent 2 hours laying siege to a tower, finally break through, capturing it, only to realize that in exactly 60 seconds, that would have become my new daily.

To make the Marksmanship trait line more attractive I believe that the two traits and the Opening Strikes mechanic needs to be reworked.
Piercing Arrows should not be an individual trait, it’s a waste of a Major trait and getting it means you can’t get Eagle Eye unless you put it in the GM slot.
Proposed fixes:
Piercing Arrows should be merged with Eagle Eye, it makes perfect sense, that your improved eye-sight allows you to aim for spots that will cause the arrow to pierce. This way both can be achieved using one trait, Shortbow users can take it too and benefit when switching to Longbow for WvW tower play.
^ This, to the letter. It boggles my mind how warriors can take a single trait, (Crack Shot) and get the benefits of 20% faster skill recharge AND piercing targets whereas a ranger must take two traits from two completely different trait lines, (Piercing Arrows and Quick Draw) to get the same benefit.
Oh, and don’t even get me started on how engineers can somehow THROW grenades (traited) further than someone can shoot a longbow.
