Ugh don’t waste time responding to trolls.

Can’t stand people who start to rant that everyone else won’t do exactly what they want to do. Thankfully it doesn’t happen much in-game and when it does, it’s easily laughed off.

Just noticed that the Daily Kills % is incorrect, not sure if it was correct before.

49/50 is not 98%, last time I checked… at least it works properly, just a cosmetic issue.

Epic post.

I had 4204.

When I logged in I did all my achievements since they broke except the Gold Hoarder. I have 4204 again, but I also did two parts of the daily achievement.

So it was correct for me.

But yeah, it probably doesn’t change the character select one until you re-log completely.

It’s been posted before but just to post it again:

The character select screen is showing the correct amount of achievement points. However when you log into a character, they become missing.

It’s actually quite fun now and is usually pretty easy assuming you have a decent group.

Even SBI can merge with JQ….

More SBI went to SoR than JQ.

The majority of SBI’s WvW old players/bandwagoners are in T1 again.

Highly unlikely, but it’d be funny if Kaineng ended up in T1 in SoS place. Happy re-union!

Understandable Quark. I’ve spent ridiculous amounts of gold in the last few months so I felt I’d rather get something more money-friendly.

Hoplo, I love that second set. It looks great.

Sorry I almost forgot about this thread.

Thanks for the responses, particularly Twill, I hadn’t seen a good picture of the vigil armour. I think that might be what I go for!

I was kind of looking for tank/warrior-like “thick” armour.

So far the Vigil is my favourite

I know you said you didn’t like it, but it’s hard to get more tank-like than this:

(The shoulders clip pretty badly with just about everything. Shields in particular. I’m actually kind of regretting buying it.)

It’s more just the $$. I’ve gone with the Vigil and I like it.

I’ll check back every now and then in case anyone posts more though.

Sorry if it’s been suggested before.

I’ve always enjoyed reading Goals and Achievements forums on other official game forums as well as just fansites. People can post their goals, their achievements but also support for other people’s achievements.

These types of forums usually embrace the community aspect really well, ignoring the occasional troll.

Thoughts/opinions, gogogo.

Good afternoon friends, unfortunately I’m going to have to break a promise here and not respond to everybody’s posts. This thread gained much more attention than I thought it would.

I don’t really know what to say to people who think because the servers were online, everyone had an equal opportunity to participate in this daily. I think each word in the response would have to be in single syllables or something.

Thanks to those who have posted, regardless of whether you’re agreeing, disagreeing or just blatantly trolling. All input is welcome.

In other news, my therapist told me that posting a thread on a forum and responding to replies is definitely a red flag for a nervous breakdown.

Patch day laurel

Amurond.4590

Yes, since I never made any drama about raiding times. If I couldn’t a particular day or week, well, that was “a missed opportunity”. Nothing unfair about it. I got it done the next week or if it was really important, I made time for it.

And I stopped playing that way because in the end, it was too much “work” for a “game”. I moved on instead of posting on the forums about how unfair RAID scehdules are!

I’m glad to hear it. Your road to recovery is almost complete.

When said thread is about what is fair or not, yes, that’s how it sounds to every other poster on the forum.

That makes about much sense as a 3 hour “daily” achievement.

I am one of the folks that do their daily the moment that it becomes live… so my daily was done so I couldn’t take place and get the extra laurel…. and you know what? I’m ok with it. Moved on quickly and it doesn’t phase me a bit. In the long run it doesn’t make a difference in the world.

That’s my opinion.

Thanks for sharing and I respect your stance. Contrary to what the illiterate in this thread will tell you, it’s not a huge deal for me either.

I made a thread because I don’t agree with the imbalance. I take the time to respond to most posts, people are confused by that and assume I must be upset.

~~
Anyway folks, this has been fun, but it’s time for me to go to bed. Hopefully I can somehow find the mental resolve to sleep tonight. I will keep in mind for the future that if you make a thread you are upset.

If this thread is still open/there are more posts tomorrow, I’ll get back to you, I promise!

I forgot to mention – I didn’t agree with the one-time Lost Shores event either, despite me benefiting enormously from it.

I’d be very surprised if we ever saw one of those again on such a large scale!

You didn’t even counter his arguments……..

Yeah, this is why I’m berating people’s ability to comprehend posts. You can’t read.

His argument was: we all had an equal opportunity to do a random 3 hour daily achievement. Oh, that and anyone who makes a thread is upset.

My counter: No we didn’t, we don’t all have the same timezone, it was not at 6pm for all of us like it was for him, it was during the early hours of the morning on a weekday.

The fact remains that one laurel is NOT worth complaining about. It just isn’t. At all. It’s really not. Nor is it the Dev’s responsibility to worry about the whole world. You wanna know when the patch dropped? shortly after THEY got to the office which for them, I believe, is daylight hours which is a pretty sensible working schedule yes? Especially if there’s bugs to fix, which there were.

You want me to stop berating people for not being able to read, so you go and miss the point again. You’re putting me in a tough position.

The “daily” achievement should not have reset for 3 hours. Had it not reset, then the time of the patch is irrelevant. That is what is unfair.

Quit whining because I doubt at this point you even care and would rather make sure you don’t get trumped on the forums by people telling you to get over it. This is evidenced by repeatedly trolling and asking people if they want to be friends or berating their ability to read prior posts.

Quit whining about nothing.

Good lord the irony is going to kill me. You are more worked up about this than me.

Just relax. This thread isn’t doing any you harm.

This may come as a shock but we’re all very aware of timezones. Try adjusting your life around a raiding guild that’s mixed EST/PST/MST players, trying to not start too early for the PST folks but not end too late for the EST folks and still get progression and farming content done for the week.

Then come whine about “missed opportunities”.

And apparently I’m the one who takes this game too seriously. The irony.

Of course, that’s only because you missed it. You could have done it the same as everyone else. Just need to arrange your life around a game if it was so important. Some of us learned long ago to stop sweating the little stuff like that, much more important things in life.

Sorry, once again, I have to ask: How did you know when the update was coming? I think it was at ~ 9am my time. I went to bed around 1 – 2 am.

No, I like my sleep thank you, it’s more important than anything in this game.

And yes, you made it important the moment you hit the “New Thread” button.

I agree, whenever someone makes a thread about something, I assume they are very upset and that the content of the thread is basically a matter of life and death to them.

It’s as ridiculous as the TP refunds you just mentioned. It’s a tiny issue and really not worth worrying about.

You missed the memo. That’s okay, sometimes new replies appear before you hit submit. I was being sarcastic. You could send me 80s too if you like. I’ll send you a present back.

If that laurel was so kitten important, set your alarm clock next time.

How’d you know when the update was coming?

Sorry, I was in bed. Some of us mere mortals have to sleep.

It’s not “unfair”, it’s life. The servers are up 24/7, either you make time for it if it’s important or you move on. Seriously.

Someone above informed me this isn’t life.

We agree to disagree. I think a 3 hour daily is unfair, or any “one time only” event for that matter. You don’t… because it suits your timezone perfectly.

One laurel folks.

Just one.

That’s it.

Who cares?

Everyone posting in this thread, apparently. Well they say they don’t care, but they take the time to post.

I had the monthly done. If I didn’t get 10 laurels after the patch and someone who finished their monthly did, THEN I’d be complaining.

So would I. Want to be friends?

I agree with you all, making a topic about something clearly indicates you are very upset. If someone makes multiple topics about different subjects, are they really upset?

Is it because I’m taking my time replying to posts?

Sorry about that, if people take the time to reply to my thread, I’ll make an effort to reply to most of them, however irrelevant/incredibly kitten their responses may be.

Everyone had the same opportunity. Some missed it.

No they didn’t. This may come as a shock but the world has different timezones. This update was very early morning during a weekday for some. Being penalized for living in a different timezone is silly.

I think the point is that the opportunity shouldn’t have existed in the first place.

Making a thread about it is just making a big deal out of it sorry. Accept that you missed 1 laurel and move on. World won’t end, you won’t die, no one in your family will get hurt and you will still get your loot, no worries.

Psst. You are making a bigger deal out of this thread than I am. Read my posts, then yours.

Send me a mail in-game to remind me and I will send you the 80s if it will lower your drama-postings.

You missed the sarcasm. It’s okay it’s not the first thing you’ve missed in this thread. But if you’re feeling generous, go ahead! I will send you a present back. We could be friends. <3

People you are missing the point. Read what he wrote:


It may not seem like a big deal – a single missing laurel – but I still think it’s very unfair that those of who completed the daily early are being penalized for doing so. Much like I’d think it unfair if the January monthly contained a laurel reward.

The point here is:
- If a new system or currency is added into the game, everyone should be able to have the same opportunities. We can’t add a prize just for a couple of hours because we know for sure that there are different timezones and some players might not get them. It’s not about a single Laurel.
- This has the same implications as the Lost shores final event. Many players couldn’t attend due to timezone limitations. The fact that the game is played worldwide should provide equal fairness to all players.

So thing is, imo the Laurel system should only be set available after the daily reset on the 29th and not a few hours before. Not doing so, created this type of situations where depending on your timezone you have 3 or 4, thus categorizing players.

Stop being selfish. This has to be fair for all players, not only EU and NA players!

Cheers!

Thank you, I thought the point was pretty clear but you made it even clearer.

I was going to compare it to the Lost Shores event but after I made the comparison to the monthly achievement I thought some people’s brains might actually melt.

Yes, the “one time only” events that lasts 3 hours in an international environment are very lame.

It is just a thread asking a question. If you don’t like it, you really don’t have to read/respond to it.

I don’t know if you’re talking to me directly, but if you are, it’s a discussion thread, any drama is created by people who fail at comprehension.

How is this fair, and how is this any different to the reasoning behind not adding the reward to the January monthly.

It may not seem like a big deal – a single missing laurel – but I still think it’s very unfair that those of who completed the daily early are being penalized for doing so. Much like I’d think it unfair if the January monthly contained a laurel reward.

How is this not whining? If you don’t intended this as a whine topic, you should write it differently. Right now, it’s more a fail of your own writing skills than our reading comprehension (or: if the whole world is against you… it’s probably you)

Erm. Read that post very slowly. Twice if you have to.

I said I think it’s unfair, and I still do, albeit for different reasons now. I was wrong about how the extra laurel came about, I’ve apologised for that. So you disagree with me. That’s cool, this is discussion topic after all.

You’ll have to explain to me how “How is this fair?” and " but I still think it’s very unfair" is whining, or better yet, answer the first question

Honestly, I think you’ve been reading too many whine topics to the point that you think any thread posted in here is just going to be QQ.

I am still open to conflicting opinions about how a 3 hour “daily” achievement is legit.

ps. I have edited the original post to remove the stuff that is now outdated and admittedly wrong, it now focuses on the awesome idea of 3 hour dailies.

You’re complaining about 1 little Laurel. It’s not worth Arenanet’s time to investigate every single account that did the daily before the patch.

Hi Vol,

Please read the post before replying, thanks.

It isn’t imo and it’s a huge oversight to have allowed these dailies to launch without a weekly, or retro compensation for the achievements already done, or without properly testing what one could do to achieve the daily, or without the choices for what one would like to do to achieve the daily, or without the ability to have 1 daily per character per account.

It’s not like the 5 months we’ve been playing we haven’t earned them.

I agree with you, it is strange that what you mention was not released at the same time. That is whole other topic though and at the very least they said they would remedy that in the future.

Why, WHY is this so important to you?

I am sure I will sleep just fine tonight.

Taking the time to respond to posts on a thread I created =/=> this is a matter of life and death.

It is just a thread asking a question. If you don’t like it, you really don’t have to read/respond to it.

I would be lying if I said my curiosity had not been sparked by a 3 hour daily achievement.

So much drama over 1 laurel. Some people take MMOs way too seriously and that ruins it for the rest of us.

Don’t you guys have a dungeon run to go ragequit over or something ?

I don’t know if you’re talking to me directly, but if you are, it’s a discussion thread, any drama is created by people who fail at comprehension.

@Rin

fair call.

Man, I’m saying you are using wrong weights. You cannot compare a montly reward vs a daily reward.
For the montly, is understandable, for a daily..meh.. I don’t really see the problem

Please read the post before replying, thanks.

You missed the point. Again. Has nothing to do with daily being 1 laurel and monthly 10 laurel. Just their reasoning for how they rewarded laurels, not how many they rewarded. Monthly could give 50 and it’s still irrelevant to the point of the comparison. Either way, I was wrong too, and my point is also moot on that particular subject. So it’s not worth discussing any more.

I guess the next big complaint will be February only has 28 days and getting 28 Laurels isnt enough even though we got the extra ones from the last few days of this month.

Go troll another thread, thanks.

Some GW2 players are always at work. So what? If you missed something pretty insignificant because of your schedule, is it really worth complaining about? I’d rather have them spend time fixing real issues.

I missed it because I wasn’t born in America.

OP, remember that this is a game. To miss some laurels doesn’t mean the end of the world… Or at least mine. If you intend to play the game several years, you’ll see that complaining for 1 laurel is futile.

This is a discussion thread, not a complaint thread. Go troll another thread if you’re that bored, thanks.

I’m glad they had a 3 hour window. I waited all day, checking every minute for the new patch. I feel like I should be rewarded for that. ANd it is JUST one laurel… It’s sad to even complain about it. Events get held on holidays usually, and I’m never at home on holidays, because I go and see my family. Do you see me complain to Anet that it is unfair on me because I miss out!!!

Maybe the next “monthly” achievement could only be up for 3.5 days.

I think he actually is.

Amurond.4590

How is my point moot?! My point was that 10 laurels is not an acceptable loss, so it is why we didn’t get laurels in this months reward. But 1 laurel is an acceptable loss, so some lost out. The comparison between 10 and 1 being acceptable/unacceptable losses was my point, so excluding it in my arguement would have been a bit ineffective wouldn’t it?

None of it is an acceptable loss.

10 is not an acceptable loss. Nobody lost 10 laurels. 1 is not an acceptable loss. People weren’t given an even close to fair chance at obtaining it.

A 3 hour daily is nonsense.

What do you realistically expect Anet to do? Give everyone 1 extra laurel? Which solves nothing because people will still have 1 more laurel than others. Spend a lot of time and effort finding all players who missed out and reward them 1 laurel? I think Anet has much more important things to be worrying about than making sure players don’t miss out on 1 laurel.

As to Anet posting a reply to this, I really don’t see it being worth their time. If we get an apology then fine, that’s up to them, but in my opinion they really don’t need to justify themselves on such a minor issue and I would rather they spent their time on more important issues, rather than catering to those who lost such an insignificant quantity.

Have you seen some of the topics they bother responding to? With that in mind, this topic has a decent shot.

Btw, as for wasting their time responding

“This will be fixed in an upcoming patch”

“You will not be reimbursed for this”

“We don’t consider this an issue at all, 3 hour dailies make lots of sense”

all took me under 10 seconds to type.

Obviously my point was missed. I was pointing out that missing 1 laurel is an acceptable loss, while missing 10 is not. This is probably the reasoning behind why it has been implemented this way. I for one accept their reasoning and accept the loss. 1 missing laurel really isnt worth getting upset over.

Nobody is getting upset. This is a discussion thread, that’s all.

Your point wasn’t missed, I just don’t agree with it. Nobody missed 10 laurels so your point is kind of moot. People did miss 1 laurel.

I mostly would just like to get an Anet response to this. It’d be very much appreciated, whether I agree or disagree with it.

Everyone had a chance to get the first Laurel. I’ve completed my daily achievements before the patch. When the patch was released the daily achievements were reset and I was able to get the first laurel before midnight UTC.

The update was between 2 – 9am my time, during a weekday, reset is 11am my time. I don’t agree with you that everybody had that chance.

You’re contradicting yourself. You just said in the first post that people who completed dailies early are penalized for not getting a laurel. I just told you is not true because the daily achievement were reseted for everyone when the patch arrived so everyone was able to complete the daily again for a laurel. The fact that you didn’t have time to login and complete the daily again during the 3 hours window between the patch and the daily reset has nothing to do with completing dailies before or after the patch.

I haven’t contradicted myself at all. Originally I suspected that the extra laurel came from completing the same daily as I had, just after the patch. This is what I was told by someone who had 4 laurels – but they were mistaken I take it.

If what you say is true, then that is wrong, and erm… well… where have I said that it wasn’t wrong?

More information has come to light and my opinion has changed because of that. I don’t see the contradiction.

Instead of some of us being penalised for doing the daily early, some of us are instead penalised for living in a different part of the world, it would seem. I fail to see how that is any better, or any more just, or how I am contradicting myself by disagreeing with that also o_O

3 hour window to complete a 24 hour daily is very lame, especially when you have people of all timezones involved.

The best part of the daily is that no matter your timezone you have a chance to complete it, because it is 24 hours. Not really even comparable to a random 3 hour window.

By the way, thanks for the input guys, agreeing or disagreeing.

Everyone had a chance to get the first Laurel. I’ve completed my daily achievements before the patch. When the patch was released the daily achievements were reset and I was able to get the first laurel before midnight UTC.

The update was between 2 – 9am my time, during a weekday, reset is 11am my time. I don’t agree with you that everybody had that chance.

Ugh, please read what I said about the monthly achievement carefully. Nobody has missed out on anything with doing the January monthly before or after the patch. It was not rewarded with laurels regardless of when you did it. Nobody is missing any monthly laurels. There are people “missing” daily laurels though, including me, and that is why I made the thread.

Are you sure anyone even has 4 laurels?

Yes. Friend in-game and someone posted on the other thread I initially posted in, let me quote it for you:

I generally agree with you on principle. I’m one of those with 4 laurels but I don’t think I ‘deserve’ to have one more than others for any good reason.

The thing is that the ones who did the daily before the patch got their daily updated, not reset, with 3 new tasks when the new patch hit. They were then able to do the daily again with the new rewards.

So there was a 3 hour window where you could gain the extra laurel? Seems legit… sigh.

Wait, I remember that the combo kills weren’t working for everyone, so they reset the daily requirements a bit after that. Couldn’t that be why some people have one extra, because they were able to do the combo kills?

That’s entirely possible, and to be honest, makes it even more confusing as to why this hasn’t been remedied.

Nevertheless, from talking to those who have an extra, it seems like they just did the initial daily after the patch. Those of who did it before got nada. They forgot to employ their own logic about the monthly to the daily, it seems!

Today's daily achievement and the patch

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Amurond.4590

Amurond.4590

Bump.

So some people have 4 laurels.

I have done the daily every day for weeks, maybe months now.

Yet I have 3 laurels.

Why were the people who did the daily after the initial patch rewarded with a laurel but those of us who did it prior to the patch were not?

Isn’t it the exact same argument for why the January monthly did not reward laurels.

This makes no sense whatsoever, and is completely unfair.

I generally agree with you on principle. I’m one of those with 4 laurels but I don’t think I ‘deserve’ to have one more than others for any good reason. You aren’t even going to care long-term.

The fact is a single Laurel will be totally inconsequential in the long run. I can see how right now it’s a big deal and will still matter for a month or two. but whenever they add laurels for other achievements (they said somewhere this was the plan long-term and they would be given retroactively) not having a single Laurel from a daily just won’t matter anymore. Plus, everyone is going to miss a daily here or there because life happens.

On the bright side, now you won’t be tempted to be the guinea pig… errr… first to try out the equipment boxes. You can read about what’s in them a day before you can get one.

Mate, I’m not complaining, I apologise if it sounds like it is just another whine. I just wanted to bring it to their attention that some people have been, well, ripped off. As such, I’ve made my own thread, and will edit my post to direct to there.

Are you really complaining about ONE DAILY LAUREL vs an entire month reward that takes some time to get?
Seriously?

There goes the point of the comparison flying over your head.

The point was that the argument for the January monthly not having a laurel reward was because people had already done the monthly. People had already done the daily, too. Yet it was rewarded with a laurel after the patch, but not before. This makes no sense, and is at complete odds with their reasoning for not attributing the January monthly with laurels.

Please read the post before replying, thanks.

But weren’t laurels introduced at the dame time the dailies were reset? I know my dailies reset at 02:00 each morning and that was the time when I started downloading the patch.

Nope, some people have 4. I have 3, haven’t missed a daily in weeks.

Okay I posted this is in another thread but I feel like it will get lost without it’s own devoted topic.

I have edited this post as more information has come to light regarding the extra laurel. Originally I thought it was because some people had completed the daily achievement after the patch and before the next reset. It turns out that there was an additional daily achievement that lasted approximately 3 hours. I think this unfair to those of us in different timezones who weren’t given a fair opportunity to complete this achievement.

The idea of a 3 hour “daily” achievement is well, nonsensical. It’s equivalent to a 3.5 day “monthly” achievement for February.

I’d be interested in hearing conflicting opinions about how this is legit. Post away!

Honestly I don’t particularly care about the rating tanking thing.

As a loyal SBI’r I reserve my hate for the bandwagon turncoats that left our server to join a server in the same match-up and fight against us for two weeks.

Hopefully they’ll get absolutely smashed in T1 but unfortunately SoR+majority of SBI is probably going to have the numbers to be competitive.

Also, if the TC map/team chat upset some, lucky nobody posted pictures of SBI’s (yes people still talk in map/team chat on SBI).

Can I get some suggestions on some your favourite heavy armour skins for Asuras? Pictures included would be nice.

I had a look through the general asura appearance thread but I’m looking specifically for heavy armour skins.

I kind of like the look of Vigil, but I’d like to see some things like Temple Armour etc.

Note: I don’t like wearing helmets and I’m not going to splurge on T3 cultural, it’s not worth it for me personally.

With an extra one or two decent sized guilds, we could stabilise in the one of the mid-tiers.

So has anyone actually transferred to SBI yet? Guessing not.

What’s the point of this post?

It’s on topic, which is more than I can say for yours.

Aside from the mess about transferring Stormbluff Isle is a server with a rich WvW history and legacy. From War Machine Island to the LoD Hammer Trains Stormbluff Isle has done it all. These legacies may have come and gone, but the mentality has not; “Steelballs Isle.” Those that remain of the WvW community do not back down, and are willing to keep trying to pursue their goals. Regardless of the opposition, big or small.

If you consider transferring to Stormbluff Isle you will find yourself in a lower tier. However, the server is currently restructing which means opportunity for new guilds, leaders, and a future. A chance to leave a legacy, your legacy.

Didn’t SF leave for JQ?

You can’t help lol at the bandwagoners looking for an easy ride that have transferred off SBI. When the going gets tough, the tough get going. What’s funny is it’s possible that JQ could drop out of T1 soon (where a lot of bandwagoners went) if only for a week. Of course, SoR/JQ could just continually swap depending on what happens in the next ~10 days.

Getting some fantastic deja vu reading this thread. It’s almost identical, I’m sure JQ forummers know what I mean. Members of Blackgate beating their chest that they are going to own T1 then sook about 2v1 when they don’t.

The only thing missing this time is they’ve started calling themselves Blackgate again instead of Beastgate, maybe the last failure in T1 was at least somewhat humbling.
