It is **obscene** that you still don’t respect your players enough to put info like this within the game, in the campaign menu, where it belongs. > [@Guild Wars Reforged: The future and beyond](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/guild-wars-reforged-the-future-and-beyond/87332/1): > > it’s more about either consolidating things, so you can do two at once – or shortening things, so they take less time to complete. Before this patch routine daily tasks like Dungeon and Adventure Board were mostly sufficient across the weeks to max out the artifact. Now they contribute ZERO progress to the campaign pass. And NOTHING in-game explains why. In an update that was pitched to “consolidate” or “shorten” things for overtaxed players, you couldn’t have pushed the needle further in the wrong direction. Bewildering levels of failure once again. --- _[View the full topic](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/update-8-6-patch-notes/87998)._
