Irrational.2871 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Lets be honest 10% per celestial challenge beyond good and evil same goes for race wich gives 5% and i didnt even check adventure progress rate. So i assume anet wanna us to do 20 celestial challenges per week in afk mode or so? There are no reasons to participate in it more than 1 time per day and the only option left to get weapon chest is to stay afk while other ppl do celestial challenge wich not cool at all. 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorani.7205 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 The amount of different things you can do to increase weekly participation is quite limited and pretty slow. Halloween and Wintersday had more options and at least to me, the progression felt better. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega.6801 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Or you could like not afk and take part in the activity. Not be part of the problem and make the activity progress faster. Doing things beyond the bare minimum, crazy amirite. 10 1 1 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuzuru.3651 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Race and activities are 5 each, celestial challenge is 10. That's 25/day without doing the same thing twice a day, so 175 point for a week. Simply do like 2 more celestial challenge and a race in week and you're set. To be fair, every weekly achevement of every festival work like this, it's not worse than the others. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gop.8713 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 (edited) This festival is definitely worse than others. Your best bet is probably the race time trial, can easily be done more than twice in the time it takes to complete celestial challenge . . . It would be great if dragonball awarded some credit, but I guess anet figured there's already enough of an issue with afker's in that content . . ?

Pifil.5193 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Wintersday was the best but in general I find all the weekly festival events to be pretty tedious. I think they could all do with a boost. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucy.3728 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 (edited) If I really have an entire week for the 200 points I'm ok, but the festival started within the week and I'd like to finish it until tomorrow and am struggling what best to repeat to reach the points. I'm actually no friend of repeat. https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/(Weekly)_Lunar_Festivities You can't even combine race event and race adventure 😔 Winterday I did the Bell Choir Ensemble for that, since I don't like jumping puzzles but the jp would be another option for 10 points per round and way faster finished than Celestial. https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/(Weekly)_Wintersday_Festivities <-- way more points, that's how it should be designed Edited February 3 by Lucy.3728 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, every weekly achevement of every festival work like this, it's not worse than the others. First of all doing race and adventure its not necessary to get daily achievement. So I and probably the rest of the ppl who playing this game doing 1 celestial challenge + 6 envelopes + either 3 champs or 5 firecrackers so its not 25 per day but 10. I dont wanna do adventure or race its reward is bad and not fun at all. I dont mind if some people like doing it feel free but i mind being forced to do that crap. My point is that the amount of activity and progress rate way too small. If you would compare it to other fests try at least count amount of activity for that i bet its more than 3. If we compare it with wintersday i could do 20 hard jp to get full weekly while spending 2 min for each run or so. I can get lunar weekly doing 20 challenges spending 10 min on each or do race 40 times spending 3 min on each. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashantara.8731 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Let's be honest, you only really need Tier 1 of the Lunar's Weekly, and only if your account hasn't max'd our Magic Find yet. The weapons you can pick on Tier 2 look absolutely horrid. 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danikat.8537 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 It does seem very slow, I won't be able to do it this week as I've not been able to log in every day. Personally I think completing the festival daily meta-achievement each day plus 1 or 2 additional activities should be enough to complete the weekly, for any festival. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a odd that they're made of melted coins, but I like that they're not glowy and the I don't think we've got many weapons with that brass and green colour scheme (or brass and tarnished brass I suppose). I got the pistol as a possible option for my engineer (who wears green, brown and gold, and prefers skins without effects). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSD.4673 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 The AFK in celestial this year is insane. I remember in other years the gathering events were tedious and slow, but this year it's like 0.3% per mushroom and never gets done. And it's obvious why. So we simultaneously have a terrible event made worse by afks, and a crappy weekly. Nice work. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm simply suggesting you a non repeating way of doing it, lunar festival got less activity, so of course there less way to gain point, dragon bash got the same problem since it also get less activities. Btw, if you only do the daily, wintersday could simply be gift + 3 champion + race for... 5points on the weekly 😄 the tier2 weekly always has been for those who decided to do more than the bare minimum, don't like it, don't do it, you're not forced to do it, and like i said, it's the same for every festival. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manasa Devi.7958 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 This is the only festival for which I struggle with the weekly. It simply doesn't have anything engaging enough to even do daily. I'm struggling to even get halfway there. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyninja.2954 Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 (edited) The lack of a repeatable, easy and fun activity is really noticeable. Players are given a choice: - run race events which do not reward loot after the first daily and take around 2-3 minutes average. If we assume 150 points in demand after dailies, that's 30 race events which results in around 60 - 90+ minutes of repeating this task without reward - run the celestial challenge. Yields around 10 points and requires around 5-8 minutes on average. Now heavily incentivising players to afk. Again, over 1-2 hours worth of grind, at least with some reward this time around The choice comes down to: grind this non rewarding content over and over, or grind this slightly rewarding content over and over either semi afking it or being faced with others semi afking it. Either activity is not resulting in a fun game experience. Me personally, I tried semi afking the challenge, aka participate in events I enjoy, skip the rest. Felt like shooting myself after 3 runs and then left and just ran the race event over and over and over. This gets worse with less than a week time. As with other weeklies and festivals, the last weekly will have 1.5 days to complete essentially mandatoring players grind out a significant part of points. Solution: either increase the amount of points rewarded towards the weekly or better yet: increase the amlint of activities which count towards it ideally some being part of the dailies (1-2 points per firework for example).

I mean you can advocate everything no matter how good or bad it is. There is huge difference between wd and lunar. First rotation of daily activities you dont need to do race daily because one day is a bell choir next day is jp and day after that lets say snowman lair. Above that there is reward for each activity witch have extra karma reward for first 3 tries per day so when you trying to do bells you might do 3 times instead of 1 but there are exceptions like reward doesnt reward you more than once and i doubt you would do infinarium more than once so its already way better. The next thing is annual achievement wich encourages doing 1000 bell notes killing 500 toys etc you will need it anyway so its not big deal to get extra tries for tier 2 reward. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funky.4861 Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 This is by far the worst festival for my tastes. With so few events, it feels empty and non-engaging. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eloc Freidon.5692 Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 I can't even be bothered to complete the AP given for doing Celestial Challenge in previous years. Finding out it only gives 10 per run doesn't encourage me to do it more. The number of events in the Challenge needs to give more progress to the weekly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qys.5937 Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 I got a weapon chest last night and didn't even know what it was from at first. All I've been doing is the race and world boss trains. What is Celestial Challenge? Is it PvP or more like the activities? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
