Yeah I don’t get locking people into specific daily types ahead of time. Being able to pick and choose each day was one of the best parts of the original system.

Looks like the acclaim cap and removal of PvP/WvW potions is to keep folks from sniping new expac rewards without engaging in new content or actually playing post release. Probably a good change overall.

Hmm, I actually like that you're discouraged from hoarding wizardbux. Just add a few more daily options so you don't have to do exactly the 4 you're given, and this system will be pretty solid.

You got the big reward after 3, but still got little rewards for everyone you did. So there were people obviously doing 12 a day.

whydirt posted:Aren’t you capped at 3 of the 4 anyway? I believe (could be wrong, haven’t actually used the Wizard’s Vault without dev cheat commands in a while) that you can complete and get rewards for all 4, you just only need 3 for the big daily reward.

It'll be interesting to see how the economy adjusts because some of the prices seem out of whack. 6 acclaim = 1 gold but 40 = a tier 5 trophy bag, for instance. And mystic clovers for 60 seems way overpriced compared to buying 2 coins and a couple ecto if you already have shards and obsidian. Idk, man

HATE that they decided that locking people into specific modes and giving them Exactly Three Options was better than what they had. I just cannot fathom it. At least Zojja's back.

So just change your options. It'll reflect in the next set of dailies.

But why does it have to lock at all? or require so many inputs to accept the rewards? when before you had the choice of 4 different ones per game mode and automatic rewards and 1g more on completion.

As I understand it, the combination of what you pick determines the depth or involvement of each category, with the aim that everyone's dailies take the same amount of time. So choosing PVE + WvW + PVP gives quests that require dabbling in every mode for 20 minutes each while just picking WvW gives you objectives that take about an hour of only WvW. Takes an hour to do dailies in both cases. It's more interesting than the old system, that's for sure.

I'm looking at relic after relic of "on elite skill use (30 second cooldown) and it's just like... every elite skill on a elementalist is over a minute to nearly 3 minutes and a guardian can just do it on cooldown, why do they not scale based on the elite cooldown instead of always favoring a quick throw-away ult?

Takes an hour to do dailies in both cases. Yeah but why can't they just give me all the options from all 3 and say "sorry only the first 3 actually gives currency" Like I've always done the easier WvW ones like shrine captures or killing dolyaks and that was a good way to get me into the mode to goof around or follow a tag for a little while, but right now selecting WvW takes slots away from typically much easier PvE dailies. So now I'll probably spend less time in WvW for it (and also lol at deleting a source of those lovely lockboxes, way to make them somehow even worse.) The rewards are good but the dailies stuff is way less interesting and flexible

The new daily system needs some tuning but the meat of it is really good. Super happy that Weapon master training is instant and account wide. Just have to talk to an NPC in the first new zone. As I suspected, Necro pistol/torch is quite fun. Gonna spend some time crafting a brand new build.

My favorite thing about GW2 was being able to log in after being away for a while and not have all my equipment/builds completely obsoleted. And today I logged in to see the expansion and found they nuked a bunch of my builds by straight-up deleting the rune effects that they were built around lol. I mean it's not the end of the world but it was definitely not a good first impression. I didn't feel like thinking about it so I'm just going to keep going with BG3 for now. I also have a few living world episodes to knock out before I start on the expansion and unlock the new builds. Can you just TP friend and talk to an NPC to unlock the new weapons? Edit: BTW I tried TP friend and it doesn't work, you have to progress through the mission or he won't talk to you. Hakarne fucked around with this message at 07:42 on Aug 23, 2023 |

I read the complaining on reddit earlier so I was prepared but it really doesn't seen that bad? lots of cool rewards in the new daily system and you can choose to skip 2 of the weeklies thank loving god, there is no way im doing that WvW jumping puzzle at the start of a new release vs BG and MAG just add 1 or 2 more daily options and itll be great Ra Ra Rasputin posted:I'm looking at relic after relic of "on elite skill use (30 second cooldown) and it's just like... every elite skill on a elementalist is over a minute to nearly 3 minutes and a guardian can just do it on cooldown, why do they not scale based on the elite cooldown instead of always favoring a quick throw-away ult? this feels like an issue though. I mean its great for my Willbender, arty strike every 30 seconds, but its juts going to lock out so many elite skills or relics

It might end up be the equivalent, but I liked just getting a bouncy chest instead of 5 Whatzits points for _needlessly complex daily system No. 552 A definite step back in terms of actual game design in addition to the nonsense of having to choose between daily things in advance.

CODChimera posted:I read the complaining on reddit earlier so I was prepared but it really doesn't seen that bad? It's cool and good, but let's be real: any kind of change to a decade-old system was going to piss everybody off simply because old thing good, new thing bad. That's not to say it's flawless - it needs one more daily and the quests just need to auto-complete and immediately grant you space dollars - but it's leaps and bounds beyond the trainwreck of the Achievement interface and snooze-tier rewards. It's a very ArenaNet take on battle passes, which, like it or not, are fantastic at getting people to log in and - more importantly - stick around for at least a little bit. As for daily quests I'd personally like to see a system where you get to choose how many of each category you get each day, not "configure now and we're pretty sure it'll work tomorrow maybe." Choices would be blind like drawing cards from a deck, and the decision need not be made immediately. That way I can hop in WvW and see if it's lively enough to warrant pulling from the WvW deck, or check my blood pressure and decide if I should pull sPvP or not. boho fucked around with this message at 07:56 on Aug 23, 2023 |

Yeah the daily system was like my favorite thing and it got me to jump between PvE and WvW depending on the objectives for the day. I don't like this new system, it's already locked the last two objectives to WvW for the day and they aren't ones I'd normally choose/want to do. I do like that they added some new ones (e.g. escort a supply caravan to its destination) but I would've liked them under the old system where I had more choices.

I still haven't actually bought the xpac (despite Wizard's tower) but I'll be keeping my eye on how much actual content there is for me. The daily change at least sounds somewhat annoying, the best part of it was that there were so many options to choose from. TeaJay fucked around with this message at 09:01 on Aug 23, 2023 |

Yeah so far the worst thing about the vault dailies is that you can no longer pick and choose. You get three assigned to you, tough luck if you don't like them. I hope the WvW ones continue to be somewhat rational instead of assault a keep/SMC type of thing...

I took a break from GW2 and the game went from "no expansion announced" to "new expansion released" in that period, welp. Since i have literally been living under a rock the last 1,5 years and am out of the loop but thinking of picking the game back up i was hoping i could get some help with these: When last i played rifle mechanist was the bees knees in solo pve. When looking at metabattle now this spec is rated 3/5. Did it get nerfed big time? It was a load of fun to play, but a lot of that fun came from it being powerful. It looks like the expansion added legendary armor that you can get from solo pve. How "solo" is this? Actually solo solo, or you need a raid group but its in open world and not in instances? What kind of time investment are we talking? Full cap of relevant resource weekly for a year?
