Metaljaw.6437 Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 Can we please stop with the "participate in an activity quest" please. It's like every single day, and the activities are closer to PvP than open world. kitten. 5 4 2 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elden Arnaas.4870 Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 At least the Southsun activity isn't still in the rotation. That one really was straight-up PvP. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metaljaw.6437 Posted December 4, 2023 Author Share Posted December 4, 2023 Nope. It still is. I did it for the daily about a week ago. 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elden Arnaas.4870 Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 Okay, I guess I've just missed it on those days. That one definitely should not be in the rotation. It is absolutely PvP. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilcat.6817 Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 Or increase daily options to 6. You still need just 4. 1 is login. 1 is always activity. So activities are still there but you need them less. 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danikat.8537 Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 I've gotten lucky with Southsun Survival, several times I've gotten added to a match that was already in progress so I appeared as a wisp and just had to wander around for a few minutes before it completed, it was actually quicker than the other activities and I didn't have to do anything. Once I must have been in there alone because I swam out to sea to find out what would happen and when I died it told me I'd killed the last surviving player and won the match. I don't mind the activities being in rotation, because I'm completely indifferent to winning, losing, scoring any points etc. and therefore don't care if I get killed by other players, I just do whatever until it's over and it usually only takes a few minutes. But I do agree it comes up too often and it would be good to see more things included in the dailies. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randulf.7614 Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 I quite like them being there. Or at least Sanctum Sprint. I enjoy that a lot and it's got encouraged me to play it more and get the achievements. On the flip side, the other activities aren't as fun to me 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ariurotl.3718 Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 It's one of the easiest dailies where you don't have to do anything if you don't want to (other than move your char an inch if the kick message pops up). It's essentially free AA. Why would you want it gone? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albadaran.1283 Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 Play the game to have fun and just do those things you like. No need to complete a daily 7 days a week lol. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I hate that once I complete the 4 dailies the last one still stays active. It is annoying as hell to have to go into my achievements just to find out what the daily S4/IBS/EoDs are, especially once I've finished the daily WV. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farohna.6247 Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 Crab toss. Every single time crab toss. I like the activities but I would LOVE to have a different one occasionally. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solvar.7953 Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 I wouldn't mind activities for dailies as much if they didn't show up as frequently. It seems like about twice a week, doing an activity is one of my dailies. Last night, it was crab toss. I joined the event - it had 5 minutes to go, so I exited, did some other stuff, and decided to take a chance, and got back into the same instance with 2 minutes, at which point I played it out and got the achievement. I still didn't really enjoy it, but it was fast enough I didn't care. There was another thread where the poster said the issue is that there is so much content in the game they could choose for dailies, but instead, it is a very small portion. I agree with that - I'm not sure what the rationale for how they chose the dailies, but it certainly seems like there are a lot more things they could pull in to at least add a bit more variety. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I don't love Keg Brawl, as it's too dependent on a random team, but I find the other three quite fun. Sanctum Sprint is essentially Mario Cart without the cart. Southsun Survival is a takeoff of the Hunger games and even if you die, being a wisp is hysterical and you get to run around and trap the players still alive, which is fun as hell. Nothing can hurt you once you die, but your game isn't over. And crab toss, once you learn the power ups can be super fun, even if you're just picking up planks and smacking people with them. It doesn't even matter if I win or lose, because the actual mechanics are so much fun. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willow.8209 Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 if people are enjoying the activities, then I would like to leave them in. But I personally would choose almost anything else in the entire game, except a minidungeon. But we need more options, so that people can choose the content we want/can do, just like it had always been. Again, this is an official Request for Reasonable Accommodations for disabled players. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danikat.8537 Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 I agree with adding more options to the Wizard's Vault, but disabled players can still complete the activity one because literally the only requirement is to be inside the activity when the timer runs out. You don't have to have scored any points or used any skills or done anything except move just enough to avoid being kicked for inactivity. In Keg Brawl it helps if you can pick up the kegs and carry them closer to one of the goals (or right to the goal) because that one can end early if a team scores 11 points, but that's not required to get credit for participation, it just makes it quicker. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanBB.4268 Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 I still haven't gotten Keg Brawl as a daily. Only had Survival a few times. Split 50/50 between Sprint and Crabs. I participate in crab toss since it advances achievements, and just focus on collecting gems for Sprint. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willow.8209 Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 the lighting in the activities can be hard, especially the sprint. even though it's better than before (I used to see the water as if very flickery sand) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
