Daily 3000xp per match with chars is not fun
So, today my daily challenges were to get 3000xp with snapdragon and imp on PxP and it was extremely frustrating instead of being fun. I actually had to give up after a lot of unsuccessful Turf Takeo...
Forum Discussion
@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!
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 😃
- @asabaida You're welcome & I know exactly what you mean!
I really would like them to add solo play, because I know how much others like it. I only used solo ops occasionally, because it was a great way of getting used to a new character in particular, but I've really missed having that in this! Might've got to grips with Rose a bit quicker! 😂
How??? There's got to have been some serious grind gone into getting that!! 😯
