Bundle Looter

[William O.6409]

Hey people, first time I made something like this, but it is a little thing that is bothering me, also the previous years,  so I was wondering if you people think the same?

It's about the daily for the Favor of the Bazar sometimes; Bundle Looter.

The event is every 2 hours, while all other daily's do not have that.

Can't there be a mini game with this, just like the skimmer, or dolyak races?

Give bundle's of loot from the brons/silver/gold chests for it or something, but make the Favor  of the Bazar a bit more easy to get.

Or maybe change the reward to another daily without the 2 hour wait

While I have enough time to log in at least when the treasure hunt is up - I still agree and support this thread. Most (or all) other festivals just have the usual "do 3 out of 5 dailies" with free choice - which completes the overall daily and progresses that other achievement that gives  a box with skins (or festival currency) ... for doing the dailiies a number of times.

This we have here was well. But we have that 2nd - and important - currency. Tied to a thing that is on a timer. While for example in Dragon Bash I could just ignore the stampede almost completely (only doing for the annuals) - focusing on other dailies.

Another thing: The new daily boxes also require the treasure hunt ... or some champs. Have not tried if the legendaries in the boss blitz work. I hope they work as well - otherwise you'd have to leave the festival area to get some champs to kill somewhere else. If you do not want to wait for the festival. (The Dragon Bash hat the quick champs in the Dragon Arena. SAB I think it was other easy stuff auto completey by just playing in the box normally doing the daily run.)

Yesterday, I finished the festival daily by doing the mount race in the pavillion, killing a bunch of the watchnights there, and then by killing the bosses that spawn.  So it is possible to get the daily done by keeping within the festival area.

But I also agree that keying on a event that happens once every 2 hours is not great.  I tend to play for ~1 hour/day, in the same time slot, which doesn't really overlap when the treasure hunter is done.  In the end, i'll probably end up adjusting my play time to hit it (I've done the same for some world bosses), but that isn't my preferred solution.

If it was at least every hour it'd be ok enough, but not 2 hours. The other one sometimes is tied to blittz but it happens often enough it's not a problem, you just show up, contribute to filling the bar and ready to go.

Even for regular dailies you can skip things like a world boss that happens once every few hours but not this if the special currency is tied to not one but 2 specific dailies instead of giving the full thing for completing the 3. A mystic coin is nice and all but it'd make sense the opposite thing, completing the event daily rewarding the event token and the mystic coin from something more time consumming.

Personally I don't really have any use for the tokens but new players and those collecting the skins are sure affected.

This is an easy way to get the 3 Champions, and some loot, instead of the Treasure Hunt:  https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Defeat_the_invading_Awakened

It's every hour at the half-hour.

After giving it some thought ... I think adding that Favor to a race - might make sense. They are easy and fast to complete. In the Pavilion we have often the gauntlet which is pretty easy nowadays. And the boss blitz also is nerfed completely - almost gold every time and starting super frequently.

Seeing that there are that many people participating and still seeming to try to gather a lot of bundles even after the goal for each round is reached - I doubt it would be a problem. There will might be  enough people to do every tount to make the effigy happen - for players that need this for the achievement? (Or maybe that one will even appear if the indivivual goals fail for some of the rouns of the treasure hunt.)

Treasure hunt has the problem  that it has no real good rewards. Once you complete the one time stuff from the vendor (1 mini, 3 kite novelty items) ... you only need it for the dailies if it is on daily. (Personally I still try to do it once - to get the small amount of tokens after each round. Not caring about the bundles.)

Doing a daily race might be same level as gauntlet in the Pavilion (even taking a lil bit longer since in Pavilion bosses are just spiked down in <1 min ... at least the easy ones and with good gear).

They could update it to be Plunder 25 Bundles of Loot or Spend 25 Bundles of Loot, this way one full event completion will guarantee this daily for a few days afterwards, but 25 may be too few, so the requirement could be increased to 50 or 100.

That's a helpful suggestion!  I've been hitting up Silverwastes and Dry Top for champs and a few that I know where they're at without having to look anything up.

This festival has that.
