  1. we are in the same guilds that doe's no explain how bad dailies are though or how impossible some of them are to do., or why they made them deferent for everyone. That was one of the reasons for me to log in and do dailies. This is not a singled player game. As far as weekly goes: I might be able to spend a hour in gw2 due to RL disability's so I have to chose carefully on how a play and for to long. and the weekly's are to hard to try and finish without grinding it out 😞 and I feel it's more grinding for bad rewards. I also feel the AA should go to wallet not this new Mystic vault with only 1,300 AA to collect... I don't play for skins and if I ever wanted a skin I was happy to buy gems to buy that Item their is nothing in that vault or want or need. Sorry that old system was better for me. I will not use this new one I wont even log into game anymore. LMAO: I just tole my hubby I want a sticker to cover up the Icon for the Vault. I want nothing to do with it. I wont go into a frenzy on the need to constantly having to click to get a reward either...
  2. We own all deluxe expansions, we always bought the best :(. My guild is over 400 strong... We should not be forced to pick one or the other. in game mode. That still defeats the purpose of playing with my Husband. I don't want that icon on my screen as a matter of fact I might tape it up so i don't have to look at it anymore... Very Disappointed in Arenanet/GW2, I don't even want to log into the game anymore 😞 I think it was best put buy this person: I love this on forms: Vecta.3475Vecta.3475Members8Posted Thursday at 07:02 AMThis is my first forum post. After the SotO release this week, I felt compelled to criticize one change that I do not understand nor agree with. Why was the daily achievements system changed? The new daily achievements system is flawed and inferior to the old daily achievements in every way that I have considered.First off, I'm not referring to the changes to the daily login rewards system. Personally I am neutral on the removal of the daily login rewards. I understand ArenaNet's rationale for removing it. What I cannot comprehend however, is why ANet decided to also remove a good, working daily achievements system, and replace it with a worse one at the same time. There are several issues to be had with SotO, but the changes for the worse to the daily achievements are the most glaringly obvious to me.The old daily achievements system was objectively better than the current SotO equivalent. The old daily achievements: 1) Already aligned with ANet's goal of rewarding active player participation, as there was no passive daily achievement reward for simply logging in. 2) Provided player choice with four options per game mode, so that players could choose the content that they enjoy. This choice of options was completely curtailed in the new system, which is a serious problem. 3) Were unobtrusive and intuitive, requiring no additional actions from players once a reward was earned. An elegant design compared to the cumbersome new system. 4) Provided some useful reward chests upon completion. Now replaced with nothing equivalent. 5) Encouraged better group participation, which is a good thing in an MMO. The new daily rewards system introduced in SotO fails at every one of these criteria.In the quest to remove the contentious daily login rewards, ANet allowed the daily achievements to be caught up in the conflagration and removed it as well.The current SotO daily achievements are an over-engineered, immersion-breaking design that is coupled to a budget storefront with worse UI and UX. This change should not be acceptable to players. The overall problem that I have not seen discussed by other forum posts is staring me in the face.SotO added a new currency, Astral Acclaim to provide a means of purchasing the important items that were previously primarily gained via the daily login rewards. ANet decided to tie this AA currency to daily achievements, which inexplicably seems to limit their own options. Be that as it may, the core problem is that we do not need any new daily achievements or new storefront to support the new AA currency. Since the dawn of GW2, there has always been a solution. Vendors.The Wizard's Vault UI is not needed. Keep the new rewards system, but remove the WV and use currency vendors like every other non-gem currency in the game.Astral Acclaim should be earned as any other in-game currency, and spent at AA currency vendors throughout the game world. The SotO expansion-only items would only be purchasable at AA vendors in the SotO maps, while the rest of the core game items would be purchasable at AA vendors in all regions. The currency vendor model is perfectly fine for this new currency. The UI and UX of buying and selling at vendors is seamless, understood and intuitive to players since the game launched. Not to mention that its also immersive and fun to buy and sell things at merchants, if you enjoy the lore aspect of the game.Replacing the currency vendor model with a poorly designed, budget storefront is disappointing and probably cost ANet too much time to develop, when an existing system was readily available that does it better and faster.The only change that was needed to allow the old daily achievements to support the new Astral Acclaim currency , was to add AA rewards to the pre-existing daily achievement rewards. Limit the number to completed dailies that award AA to 3 or 4 or whatever is needed, and add the new AA currency vendors to the game world. Simple, efficient and intuitive.The new daily achievements with the Wizards Vault is an objectively worse design for the reasons stated. Extrapolate the WV concept to future expansions. Where does it end? How many budget storefronts will we need? It won't work. Do not follow that path. The idea to allow player freedom to earn and spend AA on items including Mystic Coins, Laurels, and Clovers is good and laudable, but the execution of the idea was poor.Please ArenaNet, consider this alternative. Bring back the old daily achievements with Astral Acclaim currency added as a new reward alongside the previous daily achievement rewards. Do not fall for the sunk cost fallacy. ANet, there is still time to recover from this stumble before it becomes a fall.

  4. Well said, and Thank you. I couldn't agree more with you ❤️
  5. As Erich.1783 said: At a guess the complaint is, and I agree, having to open the Wizard Store and then click something to collect. While I realize that you had to click various things in the old system, you could just right click the chest daily chest to drop the reward into inventory and deal with it later. The new system just seems a bit more clunky. There is also the situation, and I have not tested it since I do not want to miss out on AA, that it appears that if you do no not open the tab and click on the completed daily etc you do not get the AA. I would be happy if when a task was completed the AA was automatically added to the account. I am not interested in how this new system works, It's more grind for less rewards, 4 dailies now Vs the 3 we had 😞 And I refuse to play anymore, and I don't see them trying to fix dailies were we play with our family friends or guilds. with more to choices from the daily task to work with the community. Some of the RAGE in WvW they have turned this into a Dictatorship forcing us to do what they deem right for us. Arenanet has made no comment's on or if they are going listen to the community's or just keep slapping us in the face with bad choices they have made. They could have made it to were we kept out dailies and made the wizards vault a bonus for those who have the time to grind it out. and they could have made the AA was automatically added to the account and not force us to spend it every month or quarterly or how ever it is set up. We should also be able to get more then 1,300 and spend it as we need to and not make bad choices on crap we don't want or need. the other issue I have no WvW or PvP potions anymore? they should have kept that, or added it to the Vault as a currency....
  6. The ability to get cosmetic items..... are thrashy The ability to get limited amount of ascended weapons and armor..... I don't want Or need. The legendary starter kit seems like a good deal..... Maybe for new players, Again I don't want or need. Build and Storage Templates seems like a good deal..... No It's in there because no one wanted to buy it in the first place. Not wanted or needed with over 20 charters 😞 Everything else you have said I agree on.....
  7. I have limited time to play RL Disability's, its either grind daily, weekly or special, or say f... it and play something else... My life is playing with my Husband, guild and friends.... and having fun, this is not fun anymore.... If I cant play with them doing dailies like WvW or PvE or PvP. what the point anymore of playing, and they trashed the reward system you are working so much harder then before.
  8. Yes they took away the 2 gold. They made it to were you have to grind you kitten off just to Get to the 1,300 Astral Acclaim token just to be forced to spend it or lose it.
  9. My Husband and I have all deluxe expansions, We are not able to play together because our dailies are different from one another... I have lost interest in GW2, The Vault is not worth the grinding and the rewards are crap.... They have ruined the game for us....
  10. I am limited on time, and I am not able to play as much as before. I have to pick carefully on how long I get to play, as a matter of fact I got to walk away now I have been here to long 😞 I have Spinal stenosis, Degenerative disk disease, and 5 disk sticking out of my neck through my spine. and as time goes on it gets worse for me. sorry I don't want to make this about me... I would like to see some changes though.
  11. I can't seem to get into playing anymore, Dailies were a Big thing for my Hubby and I to do together along with a few friends in WvW. and now there is nothing I want to do anymore in game because we have different dailies... and in truth I never care about currency in game it was always about playing with my family and friends make what little gold I could make and just have fun, and buy what I needed when I needed it. My charter is still sitting in town it's like, I am lost ugh. wishing we had more dailies to pick from and to be able to play with family and friends, But Like I said there is nothing I want out of that Wizards vault... I am not big on skins, not in to fashion wars, I really don't see anything in vault I want. nothing worth the hustle that they are putting us through to get the Astral Acclaim tokens it not worth it to me. and I don't like the fact that we can't save them either.
  12. There is nothing I want to buy in there. why not save it up for a rainy day, when there is something I want to spend it on or on something needed, and not put into a position of, omg I have to spend it now before I lose it and make the wrong decision only to submit a ticket and hope to get a refund lmao....
  13. I have been sitting here at my desk for over 20 mins just staring at a open game, I have lost all motivation to play, I forced myself to offer a home instance to the guild, but I can't get into the game anymore..... I am so upset with this new daily weekly and special system that I just don't want to play anymore the rewards are not worth the grind, not only that they gave everyone different dailies, that takes away the time I want to spend with my family and friends that play the game with me to do dailies, and now you have to grind for a weekly and special??? don't we do enough grinding in the game already? we had a big choice for our dailies all of that was taken away from us and instead of 3 dailies we are forced into4 dailies with no options but being forced to do what they have picked for us to do... I was in WvW for over a hour trying to get defender done.... I couldn't do it. then they also gave me the Adventure daily I straight up skipped the whole daily because I refuse to do that one, I hate that one..... so I guess its my loss because they can't give us better options/ picks to do them for the bonus chest for completing them The rewards are horrible for completing them too..... you are only aloud to have 1,300 Astral Acclaim. 😞 why why cant we save up what we earned? why are we being forced into spending it? Daily; Wizards Vault completion chest: 1 essence of luck 1 gold 30 Astral Acclaim. why bother doing this? I have 18+ stacks of luck.... and no options to pick for what best suits me for doing dailies, But only to be forced into what they have picked for me on what to do for the daily, can't play with friends or family due to we have different dailies. Weekly: Wizards vault Weekly completion chest:10 Laurels, 1 Celebration Booster, 1 Tome of Knowledge and 450 Astral Acclaim. That's to much grinding for me I have a limited time to play due to being hundi cap I can't sit at my pc for to long without being hurt... I have DDD (Degenerative disk disease) and 5 disk sticking out Throughout my neck& back. so no I am not going to hurt myself over this... Special: Special has no completion chest: but has the Astral Acclaim 250-300 tokens... sorry I am not interested again.... which looks like a repeat of story, view 12 vistas lol they should have made 12 vistas then lol... instead of us running another charter around the map to view 4 more vistas that we just already did. Thank god we had the skip button for that 🙂 EXP is going way to slow to even to get the masteries done to where I can get to ride a griffon or skyscale for ride a ley line, there is another one out the door for me ugh.... Complete a new friend achievement I am not sure were that is but I have no interest It.... No more PvP or WvW Potions 😞 They should have added those back into the Vault too.... 😞 The other thing I don't like is the Icon having to click on it, then to click on a chest for a reward why can't it be a direct deposit? Logging in with no incentive now and nothing to really do anymore... Most of all I hope they fix this asap
