Right?
You should check around before making assumptions like that. A request to remove the daily cap in WoW was commonly made because player felt they should be allowed to do as many as they wished instead of being capped at X per day. Disliking something, even if it's at the level of hating it with a passion does not mean everybody think like you. That makes them, by definition, not daily any more. You could only do each quest/batch of quests once per day, but there were so many factions that had dailies that a character cap of 25 "Daily Quests" per day wasn't enough to do them all, and all of them had reputation/faction rewards that were too good to pass up. It was awful. Ah, so that's how it works over there.
My last MMO (SWTOR) had dailies and weeklies. Most of the weeklies could be done with two batches of dailies and some small multiplayer quest. And it was once per character, so you could make alts and treat them like dailies for a little bit of efficiency. I poked at them halfheartedly and still burned out. The most fun part of that game, for me, was the starfighter game. It was fast, kind of complicated, and they managed to make it so more than one class of ship was interesting to fly. It had a daily and weekly quest attached to it. A lot of the players in matches would take those quests and not bother learning the game, which in turn reinforced bad habits from players who should know better. The ground PvP game had a similar mechanic and problem.

The fact that a bunch of entitled babies can't see that they have a choice and instead feel forced to do something is not a pathetic excuse. I would not introduce something like that but I also understand that there are no penalty involved. Your sub does not entitle you to all the possible SP anymore.

EVE is a sandbox. Dailies do not belong here. **** off with this slippery slope garbage. What is stupid about releasing this is that it is coming at a time when players are re-subbing to fight in the war and player activity is at a peak; and now these daily activities are going to incentivise players to stop fighting each other and to go and shoot rats.

So the motivation here is to give everyone extra sp for no reason, not artificially force people to login and do X even if they weren't planning to, right?

Disliking something, even if it's at the level of hating it with a passion does not mean everybody think like you. No, the daily cap was asked to be removed because Blizzard wasn't going to remove dailies, and you literally needed to do more dailies in one day that the daily cap allowed due to the OUTRAGEOUS quantity of dailies added in Mists of Pandaria. PS- Nobody liked spending 2-4 hours a day/per character to get the "way too good to ignore" rewards so that they could keep up with raid progression.

Even if he didn't know some one at ccp did and it should have been caught off they didn't want to look so shady
To be honest this and how they are avoid making things like this as public as possible shows to me that they know it's not something that players will be happy with but they don't care

I'm not opposed to this in general, i actually like the basic idea quite a lot. As a small/solo pvper i welcome anything that makes people undock. But I agree with the raised concerns that 10k a day is quite a lot. The main problem I have with this idea though is that you profit most if you log in 7d/week... that's just not realistic (and not healthy either, let's be honest).
Therefore I personally would set it to 10k/day with a maximum/cap of 20k/week (maybe 30k).
If, as a newbro, you are almost 'forced' to log in every day, it will be a bit much (10k is really a lot for a <5-10m SP character!). Playing one single game 7 days a week is more than unrealistic, some would call it madness. 2-3 times/days a week is much more reasonable and, given the required time to kill a rat, a reasonable amount. Everything above that is everyone's personal choice, but a game should not ask for more than that. I also do not believe that the 7d/w approach will create any more revenue for ccp than the 2-3d/w version. |

Again: just because you have a choice does not mean you're not being forced. You even explained yourself why it qualifies as forcing them. And yet, you are making up excuses for CCP dictating player behaviour; for CCP forcing players to engage in the worst gameplay EVE has to offer. You can try to rephrase it any way you like, but it doesn't change what they're doing. |

I would like to see the system much improved before implementation.
Some personal pro vs con list. Pro - Does increase my sp intake significantly, especially because I hardly use implants... When I pvp, i go all in and almost always rather want to be podded than flying all the way back.
Con - I log in almost exclusively in the weekends to play the game. So having to do these tasks, on a week-day, would mostly seem as choir to me. It would not provide any more personal benefit, as I wouldn't do anything else than exactly that task, and then log off. - If I don't have the time to do a task, then I would have the feeling of "missing out", which is absolutely a negative experience. - I do not feel this fits the Eve Lore in any way. - The game is sandbox, and I have the feeling you are implicit forcing me to play the game, even when I don't want to. Which may be risking to burn me out. - The tasks, for now, seems quite boring. I will constantly have to outweigh on how much i bother to play Eve today. - From personal experience with; WoW, Hearthstone & Heroes of the Storm, the dailies quickly led to boring and repetitive gameplay. It became a grind, and didn't lead to anything meaningful.
Ideas for solutions: - Do not make it a daily, maybe weekly. Not a big fan, but I could consider that a compromise. - Expand on the task list significantly - Create meaningful tasks or something fun and unique (look at hearthstone with their weekly tavern brawls). They found an amazing way to engage players. - Make sure it has something to do with the lore!!!!
Best regards Animorpheus Aven ps. Thanks for all the great moments this game has given us.
CCP Rise wrote:Hi I'm here to give you guys a heads up that sometime early next week a small daily activity reward feature will be hitting Singularity and will hopefully be making its way to TQ sometime just after Citadel. As you guys surely know, having people in game and in space is great and we want to start promoting and rewarding activity a little more directly. The version of the feature we are planning to deploy first will be a simple 10,000 skill point reward that a character will receive the first time they kill an NPC ship every 22 hours (limited one character per account per day, chosen based on which character completes the task first). The skillpoints will go into your unallocated pool to be used however you like. You will find the status of your daily skill boost in the Opportunities info panel and you will also receive notifications to let you know when it becomes available. That's it for now. If this goes well we hope to expand in several ways, but more on that later! Feedback appreciate as always, CCP Rise for Team Size Matters Responding to feedback

Nope. They want you to log-in and do something and for that, they are willing to give you a gift. If you don't do it, you can still play however you want whenever you want. It is clearly identified that it is intended to make us log-in more often but you can still either not log in if you don't feel like it or not kill a rat even if logged in if you don't feel like killing a rat. They want more log-ins and know they have no way to FORCE you to do so unless they go with drastic measure like cancelling your subs if you fail to log-in. On the other hand, they can definitely hang a carrot ahead of you and give it to your on their condition. If you don't want the carrot, nothing bad happen to you as apposed to a forced system where something bad would happen to you if you failed to meet the requirement.

Literally a 2 week old character or whatever who recruited all the newbies and said "Let's go" and they proceeded to play with the big guys. Now they are part of the war against the biggest former coalition. Don't tell people that newbeans can't make a difference, because that's simply lying, 200 people in thrashers which take like 1 week to train at most can do a lot of damage, and if you can maintain a standing fleet of 200 thrashers you can own sov easily and generate a lot of content for everyone.
None of what you say makes sense. Stop spouting bullshit. It's clear you don't know anything about this game.
Your hypocrisy make me laugh...
You're speaking about 200 trashers aligned by some new players alliance... For a "normal" alliance, although it's possible, it's not very probable... but Powerblocks are on another scale...
Battle at B-R5RB was more than 7500 pilots involved, including ships from the frigate to the titans... Well, most battle don't go to such epic levels, but it remains that the scales are totally different... That's what makes them powerblocks...
Powerblocks can quite easily bring an handful of capitals to support the other ships should such a fleet of 200 trasher come...
I was part of a powerblock in another game, I do know how these can be organized... And, although it was fun for us... it was way less fun for the other (not in powerblock). We were raiding whole galaxies each days... and the only who'd bring some decent defense against us were those affiliated to other powerblocks... The game was different but the powerblock mechanics and politics were the same...
For another example, how many Moons R64 controlled by other alliances than those belonging to powerblock ? Nearly none... But... you just said that normal players/alliances can stand against powerblocks...

CCP is handing out punishment for not doing the activity: they're reducing your training time from something on the order of 28GÇô30 hours per day to a mere 24 (or, if you like to 18GÇô20 hours rather than 24). Every day you refuse to do what they want, you lose somewhere between -+ and GàÖ of that day compared to those who comply. Do it for a year, and you've lost three months. If you don't see the punishment for non-conformance in this, you need to wake up.
Quote:If CCP offered 10k SP for deleting every single one asset you have access to, you would feel punished for not doing it? At that point, there's opportunity for an actual reasonable choice to exist. |

at this rate we should be able to expect just buying 100, 200 and 300 mill sp characters right from ccp

In order to get this unique and incomparably valuable commodity, you are forced to engage in an activity that serves absolutely no other purpose.
Injectors?
You can also wait and get those 10k SP over time anyway.
Buying a character off the bazar?
The SP are still only keys to unlock access to stuff and you get keys over time. If you are on a rush, there are options to skip the waiting. One of them include in-game risk (implants) while others usually involve ingame or out of game money. (Character bazaar and injectors) It's like the old clone problem except you get a reward for doing the universally "good" choice of killing rat while the clone used to punish you for choosing the "wrong" option. They both are terrible implementation but one is punitive by setting you back when you fail it while the other push your forward for doing good. Deleting your SP for failing to have an upgrade close was a punishment. You were losing something. This don't make you lose anything in it's current planified implementation. That's what I've been saying. It's not a punishment because there are no negative result for you. You still can do all you could do and still have all you had before even if you fail it.
All your SP are still there. Your game time is still intact. Your assets still belong to you. Your account is still active. Your sec status is still as it were before. Your wallet is not wiped. Your pod is not moved in a WH alone. You are not punished. |

You are being punished for your non-conformance by losing time. It's not a very difficult concept to grasp, and it is not very difficult to see how they could easily get the result they want without this submoronic strategy GÇö all they have to do is accept that they mad a bad decision, change their mind, and reverse the error they made.
GǪand that's before we even get creative and suggest they do some actual development work. |
