After several nights of not being able to complete daily due to time constraints and the new 1d10tic daily system, I think I'm walking away from GW2 for a while, after being pretty much a daily player since release. As time went on, the old dailies were my reason to log on, do some fun pve, wvw or pvp OF MY CHOOSING (from the 12 options). Being forced into 3 now just killed my fun (yes, I know I can select which types, but as we all know, you HAVE to do the 3 they now ASSIGN you). I seem to get that last one that's too long or just a pain in the kitten. I have a job, family, other things going on -- I used to love that I could always find some dailies to do in a couple of minutes, maybe play a bit more, then log for the day. Anet seems to have suddenly embraced a 'less choice, more grind' mentality, I really don't get it... it's so not what GW has imo historically been about. I'll certainly keep an eye on developments, but I think a break is in order -- I play games to have fun, it's not fun right now 😕 For those who are enjoying it, I am glad, I'd like to see the game keep going, but I think I'll explore some other games for a while, and start working on my embarrassing list of unplayed Steam games 🙂 Cheers

I was thinking the same, or an Anet bot or employee 🙂

What content haven't you do in years? I like I was able to avoid some boring / tedious content, now we're forced to do 3 -- NO CHOICE. Having to do 3 from 12 was always manageable and let people play based on their playstyle. Even if you like WvW, you'd still usually have 5-6 to pick from to get your daily 3, now you might end up with 3 that are difficult or just a timesink. New system sucks, less flexible, less time friendly, less fun.

Feedback? You took what I loved about the game, the OLD dailies, and completely and utterly screwed it up beyond recognition Forcing me into 3 'choices' (they aren't choices since I HAVE to do THOSE 3), many of which are incredibly lame (escort 10 dolyaks, really?!?) or take ridiculous time (dolyaks again a good example). The whole 6th rune vs relic fiasco. Gawd I could go on, I'm not sure I'll play anymore honestly, they broke so much about the game I enjoyed.

I can't, because it sucks. I really have NO idea wtf they were thinking with the design choices -- LESS freedom, MORE grind, LESS fun

100%! Gunblade to me is the most awkward and ill conceived of them so far imo. I don't like the mechanic, it's clumsy/odd and the whole this feels super gimmicky -- and the build up for epic damage is sooooo slow for pvp or wvw. Did they test this or get user feedback, I don't expect I'll ever use it, at least in its current form.

Totally with you on this, about 5 min of it and I was DONE. I understand they want to address botting, but seriously I'd rather it be more like Minecraft's fishing -- simpler, but fun and relaxing. I will only fish in GW2 when absolutely necessary for whatever goal/reward etc I want to reach, other than that I will leave the fish alone.

Thanks for the replies, some people I talked to said they were having issues using the old ones for hero points to be used with the new EoD elites. Hopefully they were just temp glitches

So I just noticed my skirmish chests don't stack suddenly. Turns out even though the have the same name, the new ones since EoD went live now have 'Testimonies of Jade Heroics', and the 'old' ones now have 'Testimonies of Desert Heroics'. So they basically just screwed us, adding yet ANOTHER currency forcing more grind instead of letting us use our other Testimonies to train, they pulled a bait and switch. Not cool Anet, not cool AT ALL So much about this exp is making me not happy. Might be time to shelve it and play something else for a bit...

We saw it in beta and told them, they're too kitten op. They didn't listen. Totally screwed up PvP and WvW, thanks Anet. I'll come back to wvw pvp in about 6 months once you figure out how to balance things....

Forcing people to hard reboot is seriously problematic, someone screwed up big time. Like many people mentioned, most of us can't even shut the process down with Task Manager. smh....
