CCP Rise wrote:Why Dailies?
The skill queue was not a daily incentive. That's a patently absurd claim. The 24h queue was a means to avoid the 4am alarm clock skill-change logins, and it was 24h because that was all that was needed to achieve that goal. It did not in any way, shape, or form incentivise a daily login because you never had to log in daily to mange skills to begin with.
The beauty of the skill system, especially with the 24h queue, was that it wasn't a daily requirement to log in GÇö you could do it at your leisure during the times you'd log in anyway. Of course you saw fewer logins and less activity when you removed the 24h limit. Everyone knew you would. The realisation that this happens is not reason enough to suddenly force people to log in at times when they otherwise wouldn't. Your fundamental problem is still that you are trying to bribe your way to an appearance of success rather than let people have fun when they log in, and being soured by the predictable results of the skill queue change is not an adequate reason to go completely nuts in the other direction.
The economic arguments are bunk GÇö if many people aren't motivated by those types of rewards, then that's a good thing. It means you've scaled it properly to only target a very specific audience that needs that kind of help. For those who aren't motivated by that, other things will already motivate them to log in and do what they do to earn that cash (and orders of magnitude more). For those that aren't motivated either way, you've already lost them because you are not offering gameplay that they want GÇö giving them SP for grinding content they've already rejected does not change this fact.
Indeed, the argument you offer why SP is a good choice is the exact reason why it must not be SP: they are simply too valuable to too many people to offer the player a valid choice between doing what they want and doing what you want. And let's be clear here: what you want is utterly and completely irrelevant. Your opinions don't matter. If you want to matter, shut the sandbox down and construct a themepark where you decide what players do.
You have completely misunderstood the point here. The most fundamental flaw with this entire idea is not the SP, it's not the dailies GÇö it's that you are meddling with activities at all. Applying the same methodology to more activities does not solve the problem, because you're still dictating to players how they should spend their time. It just makes it worse since it will create massive imbalances in what's best described as the GÇ£action economyGÇ¥ of the game.
There's no need to be coy: you want to reward people for logging in. So why are you being stupid about it? Just reward people for logging in. What they do while logged in is none of your business, and trying to meddle in it just makes everything else about the idea horrible. The core conceptual lunacy of the proposal is, and will always remain, that you dictate activities rather than activity. Consequently, you are not actually promoting activity GÇö you are promoting rote repetition that will keep people from engaging with the game.
None of the design goals you present here suggest that ratting is a sensible activity to tie the rewards to. You are not deliberately keeping it simple GÇö you're deliberately making it stupidly complicated for some unconceivable reason. The simple solution is to reward logins. If you want to maintain a threshold level to increase the possibility that some unintended sidetracking happens, then that's fine, but that's still hellalot easier than what you're proposing. Hell, your decision to tie it to an activity actively works against that goal: GÇ£don't disturb me with [distraction], I'm farming my SP.GÇ¥
New players is an excellent reason why you should stay away from SP and look more towards economic incentives. Older players will gain substantially more from an SP scheme than new players will, with all the imbalances that come with that kind of bias, but they can easily out-earn some minor income increase that would mean the world to a new player.
A feature does not need to be relevant to everyone to be successful. That's utter pigswill. A feature needs to be relevant to the target audience to be successful. You have failed to define a target audience, and have therefore accidentally targeted people that are likely not to benefit from the idea, or who will not let you reap the benefits you're after.

Right. We've all been down this road before and heard that exact line. What you mean in plain text is that you have no intention of changing this before release, and that you will ignore the predicable aftermath until it cannot be ignored an more, at which point you will try a new ill-conceived panicked solution.

1) give something that can be had some other way, but perhaps not as convenientlyGǪ
2) to anyone who's logged inGǪ
3) GǪfor a sufficient number of minutes each week or month.

You will start to have people who suddenly say 'No can't join fleet, I've got to do my daily'. A nerf to pvp. Disgusting.
You have people who want to be pacifists in eve as eve is supposed to be a sandbox and they get unduly punished for it.
In regards to old players doing such a poor system, this will increase the divide between active new players and active old players in terms of skill points as well as driving new players into average pve at best.

That said, this new mechanic is certainly not that kind of power money grab, it's completely optional, and you as a player are not paying a single real world dollar extra than you already are for it's implementation. If you're even paying anything at all as you could also just PLEX and not give CCP any dollars. So no, they are not compromising anyone's integrity for personal gain with this maneuver.
If you truely feel in your heart that it is still the case they are sellout out (eve though that notion is completely bonkers), you are free to rid yourself of the shackles of eve and go explore real life in further depth. Like this new mechanic, you aren't forced into doing it, just like you will not be forced to stay in the game against your will. |

*SNIP*
Thirdly, players won't have to log in all their accounts three times to cycle through a bunch of characters they don't care about.
This, Please. Having to repeat a mindnumbing activity on probably poorly trained characters is a serious turn-off. If a player is going to login and play because of this, having to relog twice more to get the SP on his other characters won't change that, and if anything would decrease actual meaningful content as the player is forced to spend x minutes faffing about on alts that could be spent on the main character.
The limitation to active skill queue pilots would provide a reasonable balance to not having to do it per character. |

Why Skillpoints?
There's been a lot of feedback here that this kind of feature would be acceptable if the rewards were more monetary, either LP or ISK or something similar. There's a few reasons that doesn't really work and we feel pulled towards SP. I think the biggest one is that many people simply won't be motivated by LP or ISK, especially in the amounts we would be restricted to giving. SP simply has higher demand across more playstyles and player ages and that just makes it a more powerful incentive. Second big reason that we actually tried designs using item and ISK rewards and it quickly creates a lot of economic imbalances. Any time we are giving something away without much activity cost we are heavily sabotaging someone's gameplay. Whether it's because of devaluing LP, causing major inflation, or crashing item markets, it's all bad for you guys so we would rather avoid it.
Good point, Rise. But why not AURUM then?
SP for some activity isnt right. From the birth to that day EvE was about "you dont need grind for char progression". And it was cool and unique.
And now you want to add some boring stuff. But in your current version you FORCE pilots to logon. You are not encourage them with some cool reward. No. You say them like that: " If you wont logon and do boring thing you will lose some important stuff".
And SP is damn imortant because the only way you can get SP - training (even injectors - some other guy did it).
So make AURUM as reward. Its unique enough, its "want this stugf" pretty enough. And if i dont want stuff from shop i wont do daily and wont feel "inner empty" because of this. Amount of aurum per day could be realy low - 15-20 (for 450-600 per month - sky will not falling)
In other hand - i have 100+kk SP - I DONT NEED SP AS A REWARD! ITS DAMN USELESS FOR ME! |

CCP Rise wrote:Back in Phoebe, we removed those limitations. Now, at the time, we were of two minds internally. We didn't like the experience around being punished for not logging in to update your queue, but also knew that some of those logins might be leading to meaningful gameplay and we shouldn't lightly let go of them. We leaned to the side of a better experience and removed the limitations, hoping that the logins we were generating were fairly empty, rarely leading to more actual activity in the universe. Well, it turns out we were wrong about that.
24hr queue was not a daily, but a stupid old limitation. There's no "might be leading to meaningful gameplay" there, only occasional coincidences. Besides with higher ranked skills it was barely an issue (while remaining a stupid drag with mandatory "log on some day or lose SP"). Also don't forget "jump fatigue" and ongoing dumbing down of industry, which were the shakeups back then.
As for your current ideas, for the Nth time:
You're not promoting meaningful (lol) activity.
You're coercing people with SP to do brainless, meanigless, solo, zombielike daily chore. Hated by everyone but none the less performed around the clock because "omg loosing XP". And because you want big shiny PCU.
Try to grasp the difference.
CCP Rise wrote:If you look at Citadel feature list you should not have any concerns about our commitment to the EVE sandbox and the hardcore nature of our game.
When I see citadels I see magical 10% fee 100% safety transportation service (excluding giant FU to wormholers getting full fairy rules) instead of at the very least mixed fairy/transportation for anything HS/LS/npc null (with ratios depending on true sec values) and mandatory full fairy for claimable null.
So hypothetitcally if we have some future war, with alliance X kicking some citadel's ass of alliance Y with a few titans docked inside, then they will be safe and sound automagically transported to nearby whatever station instead of getting destroyed or dropped as they should be.
Much hardcore indeed ....
Oh and borderline braindead taxes to forcibly kick people out of HS stations (not going to work btw, you will see). |

The arguments will continue of course, but you should all understand that this is a done deal. There isn't even the kind of mass outrage skill trading had and that still went through. it's your time to waste if that's what you choose, but at this point I've decided that life is too short to get riled up over minor video gamer changes.

Thank you for coming to us with a more detailed explanation. I still don't like creating SP from thin air as the reward, after being sold on the idea that skill point trading was "ok" because SP would come from other characters.
I think LP can work w/o crashing markets if the reward is unique and interesting. Look at the popularity of the Sisters of EVE combat suit for Project Discovery. Create new, unique items that reward a daily commitment at 3 months, 6 months, 1 year. Something along these lines:
- 3 months of Daily LP: new storyline Expanded Cargohold module, with 1% better stats than T2
- 6 months of Daily LP: new storyline Damage Control with 1% better stats than T2 DCU
- 12 months of Daily LP: selection of new faction navy BC's with 1% better stats than existing navy BC's

So you would rather devalue the core mechanic and key selling point of the game as a whole? Honestly i dont have any issue with daily (or a better option, weekly) "quests" being added to the game, just please, for the game as a whole, dont give SP as a reward, the only way SP should be introduced into the game is by the training mechanic. You are basically breaking the fundamental mechanic of game by doing this. |

And finally the traditional MMO comparisons. While I found most of these comments to be the most entertaining, it's pretty absurd to think that any feature which can be found in a traditional MMO appearing in EVE means we are headed down the road to battlegrounds and dragon killing.
You might not, but it what it appears to be, we're not in your brain, we don't know what you think, all we saw is that you jump into those kind of lazy gameplay (yes it is, in every MMO) so how could you expect some of us will not react like that ?
I shouldn't need incentive to log on everyday in EVE other than "It's f***ing fun, this game is awesome", if you need to add such a "feature"(lol), means you failed somewhere else at providing tools for fun.
Whatever you do, for whatever reason, adding such a cheap feature in EVE will appear as a cheap decision, no matter how you explain it. Ask the PR guy in CCP, how it appears to be is as much important as what it really is.
On a personnal note: How do you expect this feature to work on people like me that don't want to shot NPC on purpose for ss or any other "RP" reasons ?

CCP Rise wrote:Well-written stuff Thanks for better clarifying your objectives.
I understand them, but if you're relating this to the skill queue you're taking things way too far!
In practice, the 24h skill queue limit meant people had to log in, on average, once a week or so. Simply because you'd often have a multi-day or even multi-week skill in training.
Going from once a week to every day is really an exaggeration.
Trying to see this from your perspective, the 'goal' of getting juicy SP needs to be achievable or else most people will just say 'f* this' and give up. For many of us, logging in every day and zapping a rat every single damn day is both unfeasible and obnoxious.
Not to mention doing it on all alts, which really does take time out of the 'oh while I'm logged in I might as well do something else' that you're trying to achieve.
So even if I continue to dislike this idea, for your own good and to actually reach your objectives I believe you should at least:
1) limit it to one char (any char) per account
2) make it a weekly or bi-weekly. or a formula like 'any 2 days/week', doable for example in both days of a weekend
Else I'm afraid you'll only get either people who just don't do it or OCD-type people that just do it robotically and then log-off.

I'm really not a huge fan of this implementation.
1. 24h skillqueue removal as reason d'+¬tre for daily logins is disingenious: you could put in shorter skills while you were playing, then kick in a long skill upon logout. No daily logins needed. Unless you were new and only had short skills.
2. The beauty of eve to me is that I don't have to log in every day and grind daily missions to progress, try the same dungeon every 24h to get that piece of equipment to progress. I can log in at my leisure to make isk or go explode some ships.
Introducing a 10k SP daily reward asks me to log in every character I have to perform one mindless task to stay ahead of the curve. This, to me, certainly isn't fun. It's what made me return to eve from other MMOs: I have time for RL and I can do whatever I want, when I want, without the nagging thought at the back of my head "you'll lose out on SP! Log in! Kill that 1 NPC", or 10 if you decide so. Which would incidentally make for a great MMO/RPG trope for: "Go kill 10 rats in the sewers." |

Two big draws of EVE are that 1) the players are mature and almost exclusively adults and 2) the content is open and player-driven. Both of these features are related, and are unique to EVE as far as I have seen in my years of gaming.
1) If we are adults, why release a mechanic which treats us like children? The idea that we need an incentive of killing a boar for our daily XP is insulting to our intelligence. Project Discovery would not have worked in any other MMO, though similar (and much less complex) activities are available as phone apps. Why trust the players with something as intensive as Project Discovery if we can't even be trusted to log on of our own accord?
2) We clearly don't need any kind of daily XP reward to drive content. Surely the results of World War Bee speak for themselves: we were given Aegis and Phoebe, and in return we brought in larger player counts than have been seen in a long time. We're providing the content which drives existing players to resubscribe and new players to join the fold.
With these two in mind, where is the cause for concern about player counts? Is the worry that we will all unsub as soon as the major fighting is over, that we won't find something else to to? Do the people behind this decision not think the Citadel expansion will ride the wave of publicity and players generated by World War Bee to become the single most successful release in EVE history?
We are not always the most reasonable community, and sometimes the Reddit threads can get over the top in their toxicity and resistance to change, but that the some of developers are even considering implementing a mechanic like this betrays a profound distrust of the EVE Online playerbase. If our misbehavior has been sufficient to warrant such a response, despite the revenue we have generated as the result of the war we've been running, then I am truly sorry; additionally, if this daily XP reward system is implemented on Tranquility as described in this thread, I think we will all be very, very sorry. |

Hope some of this helps. We are taking your feedback seriously and if we don't make any changes before release we will absolutely be following up shortly after release with changes based on feedback and behavior.
Ohhh. It's really not a joke.
First. You owe me an astero I game away because it's not a 1 April joke
Second. "Why not" reasons
Why not dailies?
Daily is a "have to do" thing if reward is good. And even worse it cannot be manipulated by players. For example before skill queue changes I could place a long skill if I need to be offline long. I can plan my activities.
Daily mean I must login every day. I have to login.
And why "have to do" things are bad if out of player control? They stop game feel like a game. Stop game feel like entertainment... And make game feel like work. We have some work IRL, lol.
Why not Skillpoints?
Didn't you say that all skillpoints gained from skill training but not from real money, ingame money or grind (ex-üept for compensations for crashes)? It should stay same
If not speaking about promises - SP reward is simply too big. It makes daily "have to do" thing.
Also. Do you really think that such daily will not be exploited? or automated? With this implementation daily can give half of everyday SP income!
Why not so lazy?
Lazy implementation feels like artificial thing. This ruins atmosphere. Anything must feel like a part of game or EVE will not feel like a world and become common... And games that people play again and again all fell like a world.
If you'll really made dailies a part of EVE-world, EVE-lore it will be Ok. Maybe
Wow CCP
Why so whine about traditional MMO things appearing in EVE? Just because EVE is unique alternative for all that traditional MMOs. That's why I'm here. That's why I'm still here. Please don't force me to leave. Because it's really no other game like EVE. |

I continue to loathe this idea.
It's "content" people do not like when it appears in other games.
It undermines the entire "you don't grind for XP" idea that makes Eve different (which was already partially undermined with SP Injectors and I vehemently opposed those).
This spits in the face of your loyal customers. FOMO will just turn the heat up for burnout. All for a disgustingly empty mechanic used to artificially inflate your numbers.

ATM this hurts scanning/hacking and PVP/logi characters unreasonably,

That was implied in CCP Rise's response several pages ago.
A 24 hour cooldown, or even 22 hour cooldown, means that at some point we won't be able to log in as CCP rise said "on lunch break". I didn't see any response to the suggestions of once every day/once every downtime- with a reset point defined by CCP Some people will be able to do two each day, then skip out on the next day, but that, to me, is better than the alternative. I hate living my life by clocks, and don't want to see any more introduced.
I also think CCP is overthinking this- they say they want a lazy implementation, but don't want to have it be too easy. Let it be easy.
Give us the skill points for free.
That is, each day, give us the skill points just for logging in. Similarly to pre-Phoebe, we lose training time (though only 5 hours instead until we put a new queue in), and similarly to pre-Phoebe, you're forcing people to log in. Instead of a daily, it'd be what you want it to be- a reward, for logging in. We could call it a log in reward.
There are lots of people who don't want to shoot rats. They shouldn't have to shoot rats.
I would really like to see a clarification on the 24 daily nature of things. |

Ok, I get the logic behind the introduction of this now, but I still dislike the implementation. Why lock it into killing NPCs?
Make PvP kills count, making mining count, make scanning an anom count, make hacking count, make PI count*. Add some additional options for people to get this without forcing people to have to go shoot an NPC. Give out the reward as an incentive for any activity that gets people to log into the game and undock.
* Yes PI doesn't necessarily require undocking, depending on what you are doing - but I felt it's fair to suggest despite this. |

Dear CCP Rise,
Sorry I am to completely disagree with your point of view.
CCP Rise wrote:We didn't like the experience around being punished for not logging in to update your queue, but also knew that some of those logins might be leading to meaningful gameplay and we shouldn't lightly let go of them.
You think that once logged in to perform daily chores players might be hooked by talking with friends in Corp chat, invited to fleet, e.t.c.
Actually, that stupid routines do are exactly the opposite.
I am to note that leveling up in Eve requires a long time and it is NATURAL that players have several accounts normally three (for example, main, co-pilot providing bonuses and scout/tackler) or even more for professional miners. Also there are other useful toons on these accounts like cyno alts, inventors, haulers, station traders, industrialists, planetary and so on.
Let's say I log in each of my nine (or six or twelve) toons to shoot that damn rat. Toons with active queues need these additional SPs, characters with inactive queues (I don't farm ISKies enough to farm all nine PLEXes per month) would be GÇ£milkedGÇ¥ for SP with extractors to speed up main's learning or just for sale. You noted absolutely correctly that skillpoints are the most powerful reward in Eve.
So, friend invites me to fleet. I do respond: GÇ£Sorry, mate, not now! I still have to login my other eight toons to kill that damn ratsGÇ¥. I don't join the fleet because i HAVE to complete these stupid daily chores to remain competive and not to regret about missed SPs.
Dailies feature ruins content instead of helping to create it.
CCP Rise, please, reconsider ! |

Please let hacking a can in a relic/data site count towards the daily. Personally I've hacked thousands of cans since I've last been responsible for a death in New Eden. |

IN A PLAYER DRIVEN FUTURE - REVISITED
[11:15] Saturday
Servers are online and you log in with the anticipation of spending some solid play time after a hard week at work. Last weekend you created 7 thorax hulls and every day since you've logged in for ten minutes after work to complete a corporation daily to hand one in, Now it's time to reap those rewards.
In your journal are 7 entries with timers ranging from 7 days to 14. All of them 3/10 complexes, Sweeeet! Well worth the effort of making all those hulls.
[11:45]
You're half way through your reward sites when the call comes out that an enemy corp has brought a fleet to blow up corp assets and tto form a counter-fleet. Since the timers have days before they expire, you decide to go join the fleet rather than continue, you can always do them tomorrow.
CCP Rise - I'm still not convinced SP is a good reward, but if it's at the end of this chain of activities at least it starts with player driven content and has more meaningful PvE options than killing one npc. |
