Guild Wars 2

I enjoy the new dailies. As a player who enjoys all three types of gameplay, I love being able to earn my full 10 achievement points in any of them, instead of wandering back into Queensdale and killing level 2 Wurms for 5 minutes. Being rewarded for each one individually is nice too, as I have more motivation to complete extra dailies. Before, you could get 1 AP for each daily, but being given a large chunk of experience or a boost to your reward track is a fantastic motivator.

Most of the arguments I’ve seen against the new system involve

a) I don’t want to play certain aparts of the game (PvP/WvW)
b) I don’t like the more restrictive new dailies (i.e. Caledon Harvester vs Daily Gatherer)
c) They take too long
d) This is too in favor of the NPE
(and ironically by the same person)
e) This is too detrimental to the NPE

I think what everyone needs to do is consider why they were doing the old dailies. If your answer is AP, chances are you aren’t complaining too much about the change. If you completed them for the Laurel or Mystic Coin, you’re now covered by the Login Rewards. If you did them for the experience, the Login Rewards carry Tomes of Knowledge. And if you did them (as I’ve seen a few times here) to “enrich your experience” by grinding some aspect of the game for a few minutes, then I’m really not sure what it is you want, but I hope you find it.

As for the NPE, it’s a mixed bag. New players generally won’t care about the Achievements for the first week or so, and thus don’t feel the need to do all three dailies for the meta. In this, they get less AP before reaching high level areas. In exchange, however, they get boxes of equipment, crafting materials, currency, etc. for just doing things they would anyways, like picking some onions with their level 6 Sylvari, or putting out burning cows with their level 2 Human.

It really comes down to your attitude as a player, and whether you’ll go down kicking and screaming (Queensdale Train Conductors) or at least give the new system a chance. I notice the original post was made about one hour after the update rolled in. Not likely to be an open-minded player, based on how quickly their violent allergy to change flared up.

Really. They’ve been out for a DAY. Less, actually. How can you have formed an opinion on this day-by-day feature when it hasn’t even existed for a day? After completing my Maguuma Forager daily, I got a bag of cooking goodies. I killed the Caledon Wurm as usual and got even more loot.

The dailies now reward you even if you don’t meet the Daily meta-achievement. The only reason you’d need to complete 3 is to get the 10 achievement points. If you’re an AP grinder, you were doing way more than this in the old Daily system for less rewards.

As for negative aspects, the biggest one I can see from my single day of experiencing the new system is that it’s made all the whiny, self-entitled people rear back up after they were ignored in the April update. The Queensdale events daily brought back traumatic memories of level 80s dominating the starting zones in the days before the train was put down.

Overall, this is a positive change, on day 1, at least. Once all the grouches “give up on GW2” again, the rest of us can enjoy our new dailies and be rewarded more for doing much less grinding.

I remember in the first Sylvari quest, the Green Knight one, a male Sylvari casually refers to another male as his “love” and the game desn’t make any mention of it again. I’d say they’re being pretty fair across the board, the only group they don’t have represented is the people who don’t accept LGBT, and there’s a pretty good reason for that.

Im sorry if i cant give you more then 7/10 due to lorewise issue… charr always have their first name fellowed by their warband names

Gaige Pyrefuse (enginer, Iron legion, priory scholar, Pyre warband):
Shes crazy for explosives… ranging from grenades to the big bombs, shes a one kind maniac who like to see the world around her go kaboom.

Maeva Shadowpaws ( Necromancer, Ash legion, order of whisper ’’blacksmith’’, Shadow warband):
An adept of the path of life and death control she seeks to master the flux of life force.

Sheena Edgestorm (Guardian, Blood legion, vigil warmaster, Edge warband):
A blademaster who lives for challange to test her steel upon. She delights in battle and never back off from a challange.

6/10 for Gaige, seems more Sylvari a name, 9/10 for Maeva, has a lot of force behind it, and 10/10 for Sheena, sounds almost NPC-worthy
