I'm confused with the Wintersday Daily

[Tom.6478]

You need 3 of 5, but what 5? Maybe I'm missing something obvious, but there seems to be a dozen or more options if you open up the daily. I tried and not all of them counts.Again, maybe I am missing something but what five counts towards the daily?

The 'Daily Bonus' ones don't count toward the 'Wintersday Cheer' Achievement. All others do.

So, we pick and choose our dailies instead of them being laid out and showing in the upper right of the UI?

[Astralporing.1957]

They should probably have listed the qualifying dailies in the "Wintersday Cheer" achievement description, like they usually do with metaachievements.

[Randulf.7614]

Yeah they made a real mess of it this year

[Sarpan.9074]

OK. Good to know it's not just me. Why not do what they do with Halloween and FFW? Have a list of the qualifying dailies?

It is confusing at first, but an easy way to tell them apart is to look at the icons, there's different ones for the daily achievements which count towards the daily meta and the ones which are just a bonus for repeating an activity.

That's always been the case. If you're not tracking any achievements it will default to showing a random selection of the normal daily achievements, and I think if you go to a season 3 or 4 map it will switch to showing the dailies from that category. But all the dailies are always available and can be seen in the achievement menu and you can do any of them, not just the ones it shows on the UI.

Some must be completed three times to count as completed. Check the counter.

There is a good breakdown/explanation in this thread: https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/discussion/94404/whats-the-deal-with-wintersday-daily-requiring-some-to-be-repeated-twice

Copy and pasted from aforementioned link

They have added in daily bonus ones which don't count towards the daily meta.

These actually existed before, just not as achievements. All they are doing is tracking the amount of bonus karma you can get per day.

For example,

• you can repeat the JP 3 times for max karma each time you complete a run a day
• 2 complete races per day for max karma each race
• 2x Freezie completions per day for max karma each chest

After the achievement ticks off that day, it just reverts to the standard karma gain each time an activity completes

So the same as last year, just more confusingly presented in order to show the activities you can do for maximum karma gain. They should have made them a diff colour to be clearer or put them in a new tab

The ones that count towards your actual daily, do not have DAILY BONUS REWARDS as their title
