Popular Post Mal.1670 Posted August 23, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 23, 2023 For what reason was this suddenly changed? Now you can't do the dailies for each game mode, ONLY FOUR dailies available and you have to do ALL FOUR to complete the daily. Needlessly more difficult with LESS REWARDS for players, and half the new daily reward redemption page is just an advertisement for the expansion. Really? The old daily AND login systems worked fine. Really not much good reason this couldn't be an addition in some form instead of REPLACING both of those features. 48 5 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nytro.1362 Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 potions of wvw were my main method of getting the hideous gift of battle. demanding that we play this game mode is what makes it toxic. I have no desire to play it, so i would do big spender, master of monuments or veteran creature slayer when they came up to earn a couple potions here and there and eventually get enough to click my way to a gift of battle. I did this without interfering with the zerg or hardcore wvw players (unless i happened to get run over by one, which is just soooo fun) I don't like pvp in any game AT ALL and wvw is basically pvp. when you don't know what you are doing, and you don't have a desire to learn because it holds no interest for you, the environment gets toxic fast. the hardcores want the best in their game mode, and i don't even want to be there. so we both lose Now you have removed my only means of avoiding the abusive environment of wvw for players like me. There needs to be a different method of getting a gift of battle besides wvw. Anet you seem to think that things that have been in place for 10 years need changing, well how about you change THIS for those of us who have no desire to play wvw. it doesn't have to go away, but there has to be another method of obtaining it. 30 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeWolfe.2174 Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 Exactly! At least the potions could be saved for special purposes, like a specific reward track. This new system is putting us all on rails, which doesn't feel good or rewarding. 16 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweetbread.3678 Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 I mean having PvP and WvW dailies be like 5 times as lucrative as PvE ones never really made much sense and in the new system would pretty much have forced people to pick them every day, which sort of defeats the purpose. So I can see why they cut them, but they definitely need to at least roll that bonus progression into the natural reward track gain, because getting it from PvP rank up chests that take an excruciatingly long time to grind out doesn't really cut it as a substitute. 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miporin.3529 Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 (edited) Sorry to ask but, where are old daily achivements? Like jumping puzzle, the vista viewer, daily gathering, daily xxxxx zone event? They appear override with new Wizard Vault objectives. But in the Wizrd Vault i see only 3 bars, 1 pve, 1 pvp and 1 www, but if i want to do only pve? Forced to do www and pvp to complete the 3 daily steps? I'm a bit confused.

Freezy.4952 Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 (edited) I agree, within minutes of logging in after the patch, I knew they made dailies a thing of the past. For years I have been picking the ones I could complete before work and getting them done. The new system just rolls some slots for you and you now have to do these things in order to get the daily. I guess I will also just always farm in rata-sum from now on, as there is also no daily reward tied to a certain home region every now and then. I guess their game-designers just failed to understand the full impact of the changes would have on the routines of their players. It could have been the same in a new skin with some more bells and whistles and perhaps a more expanded selection. Also the UI looks like the circus came into town and put up all the colours just to get you started. To keep this constructive: - instead of rolling the slots for the player, offer a list of options for the player to pick from (lock them in if you really thing limiting choices is fun) - based on what is in the list, the player will choose their optimal path for either fun or just time to completion - the colours indicate the content type, but this was not a problem in the daily section of the achievements - achievements screen shows the same stuff as the wizards ui, because thats were everything else is as well... - expand the rewards to include things guild-halls require in order to be built... pvp potions are a must, or have they been replaced? Edit: the pvp reward potion has been removed from the guild halls and replaced with shards of glory, seems like x5 the amount in shards.

danielhahn.8654 Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 Also very disappointed by the new system. With the old system you could always select some efficient mix of PvE and WvW daily activities that would have you complete the daily achievement within 10-20 minutes for that early morning GW² kick. This kept me motivated for years. The new system is restricting the player, you need to go PvE and WvW and some of the activities are a much bigger time investment. Why not just carry over all previous PvE and WvW daily activities? First morning in years that I am demotivated by the game. 21 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless i misunderstand the new wizard system, even uncheck pvp and www task, nothing change, still need to do them to complete the 3 daily tasks.

Mythras.2091 Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 The WvW and PvP potions has gone, but you get more reward track progress doing these activities. Yeah, you cant save potions for e.g. festival reward tracks, but whatever, its not that bad. The vault system in the other hand feels odd. Its good, that you get token for dailies and you can spend them on meaningful things, but i liked the previous approach, where you had 12 daily and you could choose any 3 to complete. Now, you have to roll on first login. Just now, Miporin.3529 said: So, to complete the 3 dailies tasks now i'm forced to do pvp, www and pve?

rotor.5729 Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 I'm fine with the Expac as such so far - but the changes on login-rewards and dailys are terrible. It's like "Ummm sure why not force players to play content they don't wanna play and on top we shorten the rewards" - how the heck did this pass the quality-check? Is this serious, no choice anymore, if we want the chest for dailys we need to do every single daily that are given by the system? That's not the way I used to think this game was about. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Я снял с них галочку, но думаю, мне нужно подождать завтра, чтобы вернуть мои 3 ежедневных пве-задания? Yesterday I chose pve, my daily today: 1. Participate in 1 kryptis bounty event (It was necessary to finish the story to get the item to find out where the fault is) 2. Salvage 10 item 3. Break 1 Enemy Defiance bar (It was necessary to find an elite mob to knock down the bar) I have spent quite a lot of time to accomplish this, previously, I just combined 3 positions, the game becomes a job!

No, did you not see the checkbox which objectives you want to focus on? Next to tabs for "Daily", "Weekly", "Special", there is a cogwheel for settings. Make sure to check only "PvE" and you will only have objectives from PvE, not PvP or WvW. This objectives popup also showed up first time you opened the Wizard's Vault, so everyone was forced to make a choice before they got their first objectives. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how often they update, I'm guessing this will work somewhat similar to how it works for guilds when they set preferences for their guild missions, whether they want PvE, WvW, PvP or a mix... and changing that during a week doesn't change them until next weekly reset. So I'm guessing weeklies in Wizard's Vault would do the same; otherwise you might have completed one and then it will be removed because you change your preferences to another category.

Not sure why you wouldn't uncheck PvP and WvW if you didn't want those dailies or at least check into it before you confirm.

Firebeard.1746 Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 (edited) The worst part to me isn't so much the potions going away as it is the lack of choice. The previous dailies were great because if you were lucky you could knock them out fast. These dailies I'm going to have to be way more picky about doing them. I'm also going to exclusively mark PVE because I just got done with a long WvW session with almost no invaders while I was in squad. Also some days I just suck and if I was roaming, it could still have turned way tedious. PVE is probably the safe bet because at least the encounters are deterministic and don't change much. This is going to massively inflate the price of gift of battle and shards of glory. EDIT: Does that mean we might have to start grinding PVP when the shard of glory supply goes down for legendary weapons? EW.

New game update, updates notes available, all outlined there - as well as being splashed out on the screen first time you open the vault. https://i.imgur.com/f2GW358.png The fact that people don't read or pay attention is not Anet's fault. Btw - this is NOT a dig at you, just a general observation there was enough information about this both out of game and in-game. Quote Wizard's Vault The Wizard's Vault is a new streamlined rewards system for level 80 players that combines the best elements of the daily login and daily achievement systems, allowing you to play Guild Wars 2 the way you want to—whether it's PvE, Player vs. Player, World vs. World, or a mix—and earn a wide variety of exciting rewards for doing so. New objectives will appear daily and weekly. Players may choose which game modes they'd like their objectives to be generated from. Any mix of PvE, WvW, and PvP is available. Additionally, there will be one-time special objectives that will appear to everyone. 2 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You clicked on a box that said "You can customize the types of daily you receive below", with 3 boxes, one for PvE, one for WvW and one for PvP. All three are checked. There's a confirm button below this. If you think that's not clear, and there's no explanation, I don't know what to say, unless you don't know what a daily is in the first place. But if you know what a daily is, that box and that explanation is more than sufficient. It's okay to close the box without thinking or reading. It's not okay to say that something isn't clear when it would be hard to be clearer. 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
