Daily 3000xp per match with chars is not fun

Agreed.

The challenges should be a total and not per match. There was a Heal as a Sunflower one I rerolled as it seemed very difficult if not impossible to get in a single game. My record so far was 3400 or so, it was far more than that, so decided to just reroll that one.

I agree totally...

Really disappointed in the challenges to be honest... and they seem to be very heavily weighted towards PvP
I don't mind grinding too much but this game is turning into just that sadly.....  however I certainly do not want to spend hours and hours in PvP trying to achieve the impossible....
not every body wants to play PvP over and over again and / or is skilled enough to achieve these goals and in one match.
Score for all challenges should definitely carry over to next matches.
Very tedious grind to not be rewarded with your bulb after many matches trying...
and indeed with characters that you may want to or ever play.
This is very unfair those who have not the time or inclination to play PvP over and over again....

Not only that but my daily challenges have bugged out and I am apparently not getting any today.... and one of them is blank with a 0...
don't know if its supposed to be like that or not.

Also... as we can see from the "warp to a vanquish" mission for the scientist.... the English is so bad and unclear that people are having trouble even understanding what they are meant to be doing.... more time wasted....

Want to be my normal cheery and positive self but tbh I am starting to struggle a bit with BFN as it is just now...

first massive  PC issues... hopefully these will be addressed in the PC update due...

then lack of solo/private maps to play game modes...  something the devs refuse to address in forums or live or at all in fact despite the hundreds of times i have seen people asking... our concerns are being completely ignored.

then the Ops disaster (I agree it has slightly improved) but it still has a bit to go... and I still feel like Ops was an afterthought.... a copy and paste of the Ops quests... and the "phases" is more damage reduction rather than a plan addressing what people actually want tin the game.
People play Ops with their young children... difficulty setting is a must for them and as @Iron_Guard8  points out...
we want to be able to choose where we place the gardinator/graveinator...
the choice of 5 or 10 waves would be very welcome....
and we want to fly in and have the escape bitty.

and now the bulbs for the ridiculous amount of XP

then the challenges which it seems there a lot of complaints about....

Auch anyway... I guess we will see what happens...lets hope it all sorts itself out for everybody 😃 (bit forced but a smile all the same)

This!  😊

@asabaida sorry to hear of your troubles, friend,

@asabaida you bring up a key point that we should discuss and I believe that needs to be addressed.

The game has a larger PvE presence than either GW game. Thanks in part to the free roam regions (which are all great I might add), so that attracts more PvE focused players as well. Most people I know play a mix, but many focus on one or the other (PvE and PvP) and don't like feeling obligated to play the other mode of play.

One option to make the challenges more even to the two ends of the spectrum (PvP focused and PvE focused players), is to give 4 options for 2 dailies; have 2 PvP challenges and 2 PvE ones and allow people to beat any 2 (with at least 1 reroll just like now). In GW2 I did play a fair chunk of PvP but I did a lot of PvE there so I fully understand wanting to focus on it here when it's even better than before (barring Ops anyway).

The idea of the prize map is to give people an incentive to play often. While I like this idea a lot, if people feel that's grindy, they may just give up. If people were able to choose a path to gain the bulbs that fit their play style, it will feel less like a task they feel forced to do, and more like they are being rewarded for playing. You really want that second scenario, the first one does work on people, anyone that's played an MMO knows exactly what I mean, but people get fed up, bored, or upset, and for the long term health of the game that's not a great idea. Feeling like the game is giving you stuff for doing something you already enjoy is a great place to be.

Also, glad to see that smile! You've always been a bright spot on the GW2 forums, I hope you continue to shine here as well.

Edit: That PC patch can't come soon enough!

Totally agreed. The xp points should be accumulative in these daily challenges

@SergeSim  I made it to 2800xp thinking, Oh I'll just get the other 200 next match. Only to find out the hard way that I have to start again, and now I have to go to work. These challenges are not casual friendly, that's for sure.

I had this moment as Electric Slide where i just needed another 100 points to reach 3000 but the game was at the last stage of the TT map and there were only 4 seconds left on the clock. But there was this Cactus. It was like a walking trophy that needed to get rekt. So i chased it with all i could with only 3 seconds left. And as the round ended i just got the vanquish.

The message didn't even have time to pop up but i heard the sound effect. Couldn't get any close after a couple failed matches.

Lol thanku @or your kind words @spIash_damage and @ToastedSarnie .... first world problems huh.... not troubles just frustration. 😃

Auch Im fine... just getting a bit annoyed with it all and the fact that the devs are totally ignoring many peoples questions in favour of PvP sttuff...
PvP is hugely important of course but they should be acknowledging everybodys concerns... and that includes private and solo play.... goodness knows how people who play solo are getting on with this game... it must be torture for them... I feel very much for those who don't have someone to play with.
And what about those who play with their young kids or those who don't want to play against real people at all ... being able to set up private play for Ops or different game modes with different maps .... with a difficulty setting  is very important for these people.

@Iron_Guard8 thanku for your input... I agree... I play both PvE and PvP these days ... but I don't like feeling like feeling Im being "forced" to play PvP... of course its my choice but if I want the goodies.... 😃
but the ability to NOT have to play PvP and just chill and have fun without the pressure that comes from PvP  is something that many folk want and need in this game.... and that includes me.

I do love the game... and I want it to do well but its start has been a little rocky to say the least.... it has for the most part been a super fun month, the maps, the customisations, the PvE stuff ... puzzles and the Boss fights... its been really good... but I worry that the many many issues (performance, balancing, lack of choice and the grind its turning into) are putting folk off and we have evidence that it certainly  is but hopefully the issues will be sorted and we can get some of these folk back. 😃

Not to mention the latest disaster Battle Arena... Justin, Shaun, Rob and the rest of the team must have been gutted when that all went down.

Just been in Giddy Park and someone was nipping about with the green Scarab Supertbrainz skin..... maybe it was a dev... or maybe someone knows something we don't 😃
