You are right. Blizzard made the Wizard Vault in GW2.........

This whole post is a mess. Tweaking vendors over and over again is way more of a hassle than having a specific part of the UI for the vault. Plus it would require players to track down and run around looking for vendors, wondering where the hell they could buy their rewards (and possibly missing stuff by ignoring their existence). Not Simple, not efficient and not intuitive! The design of the vault is similar to the in game store, but they did not want to bake it into the store's tabs as it could be confused with the gem items and people would cry "Pay to Win is here 11!!!!111!!1!" The game store UI though is a bit better (at least it allows for previews on most if not all items). And claiming the rewards should come automatically in a bouncing container as almost every other track/achievement reward (make an astral chest graphic so we recognize it's as a daily chest please).

It might be that any birthdays over 10 years old will be the same box (not titles). Also note that birthdays used to give 1 achievement point, but the 11th birthday gives 0.

You mean you wish you could do a WvW or PvP daily and complete the 3 dailies. Because right now you are stuck with the bugged daily because YOU HAVE NO CHOICE until the next reset!

You do know you can get ascended gear, weapons and trinkets via fractals, strikes, per LW map currency and achievements quite easily right? And from what I have experienced you don't have to wait for at least 3 months for a complete set.

I long for the day Anet puts a graphics option to dim graphics for players that look like fireflies to oblivion. Right now if I see you with all your infusions and legendaries, I turn the detailed player model to minimum to protect my eyes and my monitor from the clown fiesta you look like. You actually look like just a nametag to me. L O L

I think it should scale to how many game modes you have selected. One game mode should give 4 or5 choices. Two game modes 6 (3 each) and all three game modes 9 (3 each). At least for me I could get going for the easy ones in WvW for example and if there were enough battles/groups/zergs that I could participate in I would stick to that mode and complete all 3 dailies from there, else switch to something else. Right now I have to completely cut off WvW from the dailies list as I dread the stupid "take part in an objective defense" daily that it took me about 2 hours to complete a few days ago as I could not get credit for it even after a solid 12-15 timer counts. If I had more choices I would have surely completed something else in WvW in the meantime and avoided the frustration. And why should I miss out of the chance to do my dailies with friends and guild mates, if they make a group to go into WvW and I have selected PvE and PvP as my dailies, needing a daily reset to select WvW as an option and do them in a friendly group having fun (I can join them and play but I would need to leave to complete my dailies at some point). It is also limiting because I may get back from work and say "Hey lets' do some PvP only to find out I had selected PvE only the previous day. This sucks major b@lls!

Amen to that !!!!!!!

You should have joined me in Valdhertz Crypts and have lots of fun as you could not complete because there were a hundred people inside insta-killing everything and you could not get credit for anything to complete it. Yeah sure buddy no issues at all there made Anet pull it from the daily pool. And the most infamous for years upon years now is the defence events in WvW. I've completely eliminated all enemies from towers with broken walls, got the timer countdown repeatedly and could not get a freaking daily completion for about 2 hours straight. Greeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeat fun there! We had the choice to ignore screwed up dailies like this in the past (3 out of 12) and we are now at 3 out of 3 for maximum daily efficiency from our dailies. They plan to introduce and extra one per day, I strongly believe they should get it up to 3 out of 6 or 9 choices for people that want to enable all 3 game modes (I don't care if we get AA points only for the fist 3 tasks, even if you could get chest for all 12 dailies in the past). It's about choice and efficiency, I prefer doing fractals, strikes or hunt for achievement completion instead of eating up my game time running around WvW for swords for a freaking daily, so that I don't miss out on over half my daily AA points!!!!

Well now that option is out of the window. And I am currently stuck with daily.

The superb daily system you designed selected Participation in an activity today. Today's activity is Crab Toss. Noone can pick up the crab. Thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaank you for the opportunity for the lack of options in selecting our daily objectives to shine. Much obliged!

OMG you guys are right, I just watched a few Youtube videos and there is indeed a tooltip with extras. @Manasa Devi.7958 you are absolutely right I suck, I should have suspected there should be a tooltip there. So here are the new calculations corrected (thank you for your input): 28 days give you: dailies -> 28 x 65* = 1820 weeklies -> 4 x (6 x 40 + 450**) = 2760 specials are 75 days long so about 3 x 28 days (we will divide the total by 3 for 28 days) -> 1350 / 3 = 450 Total 980 + 960 + 450 = 5030 per 28 days There is only the matter of the counter at the top of the ingame panel that shows xxx/1300 AA. Is this a monthly cap of AA? Is it per 3 month cycle of the vault? Is it maximum stored? My only real issue with the new system is that players do not have the same dailies anymore and the number of choices make it very difficult to consistently get 4/4 dailies done (for me personally if there is a JP I will never touch it for any reason and weeklies are fine even if they suck there is enough time to manage achieving them). PS: Please check my math because I am at the beach at the moment 😛 * 5 login + 3 x 10 dailies + 30 final chest ** 450 from the final weekly chest

There is no tooltip for me there, and I cannot complete today's dailies (I am on vacation on mobile internet and I cannot engage in WvW over my internet line here). So I dearly apologise if I screwed up the calculations, and a big bravo for Anet for broken tooltips and poor checkboxes for daily and weekly selection!

No tooltip pops up for me, I checked it again.

I see 3 x 10 AA dailies plus 5 AA for the login. Where are the other 30 AA from? If it is a tooltip at the chest as Manasa Devi said, I cannot see a tooltip at all for the chests.

What tooltip? The chests have no tooltip for me. If that is the case this is another fail by Anet ! When I see tooltips in my game I will recalculate. PS: Even so what is the role of the xxx/1300 AA on the top right? Is it amount that you can store? Is it maximum per month? Is there a tooltip for it that doesn't work for me?

I see weeklies that give 40 AA and you can do 6 of them per week. There are 4 weeks in 28 days so 4 x 6 x 40 = 960 AA

Sure, compare what you could get by just logging in (add to that what you would get by doing 3 out of 12 daily tasks) and come back here and reread (or even better correct) your statement. PS: see my other posts for a clearer picture of what is going on

Grind (with an unknown increase in every tick of the track)...

The old system was just that. And even if we do the stupid dailies as they are now, we are getting nowhere near what someone would get by simply logging in! 28 days give you: dailies -> 28 x 35 = 980 AA weeklies -> 4 x 6 x 40 = 960 AA specials are 75 days long so about 3 x 28 days (we will divide the total by 3 for 28 days) -> 1350 / 3 = 450 AA Total 980 + 960 +450 = 2390 AA per 28 days Then there is the matter of the counter at the top of the ingame panel that shows xxx/1300 AA. Is this a monthly cap of AA? Is it per 3 month cycle of the vault? That means that if you try to buy everything the old daily system gave you in a 28 day period (including the 2% increase in amount of gold account wide, laurels, clovers and legendary mats, mystic coins, tomes of knowledge, essence of luck, transmutation charges and random black lion utilities) you are kitten out of luck my friend (because you need 2000 AA for the 2% increase in amount of gold account wide, 350 AA for the 35 laurels, 180 AA for 20 mystic coins and 420 AA for 7 clovers for a total of 2950 AA - while you apparently get a maximum of 2390 AA per 28 day cycle - and you get NOTHING else). That is not even close to the login rewards we were getting if you count in the chests from each individual daily (and you could complete all 12) I mean seriously???

I am terribly sorry but I decided to go for a mix and I will not be completing 2 of my daily tasks. I had never, and I mean never had any problem finding 3 dailies to complete in like 20 mins. Sometimes the WvW ones had me jumping from map to map, unless it was a day dedicated to WvW in which case they were completed automatically as I was doing my thing for the day. The new system is seriously insane. There is literally NO CHOICE about what you might complete in a day. NONE!

You fail at math. 28 days give you: dailies -> 28 x 35 = 980 weeklies -> 4 x 6 x 40 = 960 specials are 75 days long so about 3 x 28 days (we will divide the total by 3 for 28 days) -> 1350 / 3 = 450 Total 980 + 960 +450 = 2390 per 28 days Then there is the matter of the counter at the top of the ingame panel that shows xxx/1300 AA. Is this a monthly cap of AA? Is it per 3 month cycle of the vault? That means that if you try to buy everything the old daily system gave you in a 28 day period (including the 2% increase in amount of gold account wide, laurels, clovers and legendary mats, mystic coins, tomes of knowledge, essence of luck, transmutation charges and random black lion utilities) you are kitten out of luck my friend (because you need 2000 AA for the 2% increase in amount of gold account wide, 350 AA for the 35 laurels, 180 AA for 20 mystic coins and 420 AA for 7 clovers for a total of 2950 AA and you get NOTHING else). LOL !!!!

You must be joking. I used to complete the 3 dailies every time I logged in. But I almost always did a mix and I had 12 to choose from, not 3 CHOSEN FOR ME. I want the number of choices for the dailies to go back to where they were. What they are doing is they are artificially hampering our efforts to gather the new currency by throwing at people tasks they do not enjoy doing. I do not want to do jumping puzzles, I do not want to do mini dungeons, I do not want to capture towers, I do not want to freaking hunt down 5 players in WvW, I do not want to freaking do events in specific zones, I do not want to escort 10 freaking dolyaks!!! Plus you could find people doing the same dailies and group up easily. Do you have any idea what would happen if they decided to pull the same kitten in fractals? Imagine making a group and everyone having different fractals as dailies. That would be DEAD content right then and there. There always fast and efficient choices that I could make to complete my 3 daily tasks and go on and play the game doing stuff I like and that system RESPECTED MY TIME, which was a huge plus for GW2. I could do 2 fast ones in WvW and a PvE daily and be done with it. But for example today, I have to run around WvW maps, trying to find a group to capture towers. WTF do I have to do that? The new system s@cks b@lls!

This change is freaking unbelievable. The old system gave us the flexibility to choose between 3-4 options from each PvE, PvP and WvW. The new one is the most stupid implementation EVER! kitten change it back to the options we had and offer people the same set of dailies so we can coordinate activities!

You can buy gold with the new currency? WTF !!! Bad move, the 2g daily was way better than having access to gold like that. Unless it is capped daily but then why not just give the chest with the shards and the gold at 3 dailies completion as it is now????
