roybat.5406 Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 I am someone who has done dailies regularly for a long time. Last week I suddenly stopped getting achievement points from dailies and on enquiring to a GM was informed that the achievement points are capped from dailies and the old monthlies are capped at 15,000. So much for Arena Nets supposed value that you can play the game in any way that you wish; this is pure policing of how we are supposed to play the game, a total disincentive to log in daily and a punishment on long-term players. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheQuickFox.3826 Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 (edited) It doesn't punish long-term players. The game is just bad at explaining the cap. The game even shows you getting +10 AP when you are getting none if you're at the cap. The cap functions as both a challenge for long-term players to actually go after the harder achievements to get the higher ranks of achievement points and a way to keep the achievement system somewhat fair for new players as well. Veteran players already have an AP advantage because ArenaNet removed achievements that rewarded achievement points from the game. Old players may still have these AP but new players can never get these. Steam players cannot even get the Hall of Monuments related AP. I once suggested to change the daily AP system to something that removes the hard cap but reduces the amount of AP you get until it is just one per day. Quote Like: 10Ap/day for the first 15,000 5Ap/day for 15,000 - 25,000 3Ap/day for 25,000 - 35,000 2Ap/day for 35,000 - 45,000 1Ap/day for 45,000+ Numbers can be changed and are just to indicate the principle. https://web.archive.org/web/20171126223306/https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/discussion/comment/202581#Comment_202581 I'm still interested what the devs would think of such a system.

ProfileName.9281 Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 This MIGHT all change again with SotO promising to revamp dailies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
