Upcoming Feature and Change Feedback Center

Free bonuses are not always a good thing and the choice of reward encourages empty alts and a load of logging on and off.
If it was isk, it wouldnt be so bad because you'd make more isk with a char than you would trying to do 'dailies'.

New player only (though i prefer just faster training) or change the reward to isk or lp.

I can see this being a good addition to the game, on a couple of conditions.

-The SP or other reward should be small enough that it doesn't feel mandatory to log in every day. It should be a choice, not a compulsion. For me 10K/day max seems about fine, but this number might be different for others.

-There should be a limit on the number of daily opportunities a player can complete in a day and receive a reward. a player should not feel like they need to log on every day and complete 10 different tasks, ranging from PvP to Mining. I suggest a limit of one per day.

-the majority of players shouldn't have to go out of their way and alter their normal play-style to complete the tasks. There should be enough daily opportunities that any playstyle can benefit from this. there should be rewards for PvE, PvP Mining, market trading, PI, Manufacturing and any other significant action really other than ship spinning. It should feel more like a login-reward than a PvE reward. Also, I feel these all need to be added at project launch, or players will feel like CCP is trying to restrict or control their playstyle, which is very against the sandbox.

Essentially, the above means that a player's gameplay should see as little disruption as possible from this system, ideally none at all. The consequence of of adding a feature like this poorly would cause players to feel like CCP is telling them how to play the game, where to go, what to do, and it would drastically alter the sandbox mentality.

Also, to those complaining that daily missions makes the game like a grind-able MMO, I would argue that skill injectors are much more so. You can only get the 10kSP once per day, but in just a couple hours of, say, incursions you could buy a skill injector. that IS grinding, and I personally have no problem with it. I don't feel compelled to buy skill injectors, but I like that the choice is there.

Daily opportunities is not cool.

Instead make it weekly opportunities, with "to do" list divided by categories (PvP, PvE, Trade, Manufacturing etc)
It should look somthing like:
PvP:
1) Kill player frigate
2) Kill player cruiser
3) Kill ...
PvE:
1) Kill npc frigate
2) Kill npc ...
3) Complete lvl 4 mission
4) ...
Trade:
1) Place buy order
2) Place sell order
3) Sell item with total value more than 10kk
4) ...

In the end of the week check if you complete more than 70% of this list you get your reward, in addition if you complete all tasks from the category (e.g. everything from PvP) you get specific reward for this category (There is a lot of room here for rewards starting from random BPC for full manufacturing to some specific bonuses for next week like decrease of manufacturing time, increase in bounty payout for PvE, decrease in market taxes for trade etc)

That system should work for account wich will remove unnecessary overhead for character switching and weekly basis will make it acceptable for players who dont log in every day. Also all rewards should be tradable in some form.

What makes reading through these forums sometimes feel irrelevant is the possibility of of 5 players - each with five accounts complaining on 75 separate toons to make their point.

Please, don't do this.

I'd like to see online numbers going up, but not at the cost of things that make EVE the special game of me.

do it like dust, offer multiple missions per day with small random rewards including SP, ISK, LP, loot
if I was a new player i'd be thrilled to see an ingame reward of a frigate for killing 3 lowsec rats

I don't think i would like the grind resulting this change.
But if you guys do this change i sudjest one little change to it.
Make it killing an npc or being on a killmail.
After all the idea is to get people to be out in space.
If you add this condition people who many hunt other capsuleers don't need to go looking for a npc's each day if they had a pvp engagement.
This would lessen the "grind" for pvp players.

TL;DR Give journal entries to expedition sites for doing player corp dailies.

Credit to my GF (who is an eve carebear) for a) not liking this idea either and b) coming up with the perfect way to resolve this.

Create a new corporation mechanism.

Brand new Eve players start in school corporations (which you can't rejoin when you leave?). Those school corporations offer a daily or choice of dailies that reward the 10k SP, with diminishing returns the more SP you have. Once you leave that corp, even for another npc corp you don't get the SP reward again. Either no dailies or an Aurum reward for npc corps, BUT for player corps you have a similar, configurable and *automated* way to reward the players for doing a daily activity for that corp.

Some examples that should work within existing game mechanics:

- Drop x ore/BPC from loyalty store/deadspace item/etc into corp hangar and get a fitted ship/isk/expensive skillbook contracted to you. I'd suggest looking at the gambling sites to get an idea of what rewards people will play for. With multiple dailes on offer you could even use this for an ad-hoc production chain.

-Kill incursion mothership. With the incursion effects in system corps might want it it closed so they can get back to business as usual (could modify them to increase this desire) and could setup counter-content to the incursion runners who want them to stay open longer.

-Kill player x. incentive to take on the gankers/Wts/etc.

Metagaming is a little harder, I don't think it could be automated, but providing bookmarks to strategic/hidden enemy locations perhaps?

Yes you can do all of this already within the contract/bounty system, so it doesn't provide new content as is, however if CCP starts with implementing school corps SP rewards, see how that works. Then later on adds the npc corp Aurum rewards, we'll have a better idea of what works and what doesn't and how to implement it for player corps.

At that point CCP may be able to inject some kind of minor reward into the system. Yes, we'd need to be careful to avoid exploitation, but for example you could offer a free expedition (as if you had gotten an escalation in anomaly/signature) or an equivalent in your journal for completing a player corp daily. You could even range the difficulty based on which system the player corp daily was completed and on the type of daily. Delivering ore gets you small rare ore site. Handing in a deadspace loot gets you a combat site and so on. As you could only get them once per day they are not over-powered and at the same time doesn't prevent you doing more dailies if you want to help your corp.

Most importantly of all, it encourages *player* created content.

EDIT: You could also have an option to receive an expedition that requires multiple people as per an incursion VG, maybe as weekly?

The daily nature is what is terrible about this entire enterprise. This discussion would be entirely different if it was a weekly or bi weekly thing. The next issue is that the current proposed daily doesn't really foster player-player interaction so much. Getting people in corps, up to no good, moving around the map, etc, is a far more effective nudge for content rather than stuff that is just too easy to do alone then log off after doing a 'chore'. Adding more of these is just going to eat up players' time, and actually detract from content generation - they may be motivated to do the daliles to not fall behind, but that doesn't mean they are having fun with each log in. Same sort of thing where people would rather sit in station with +5s because progression, rather than undock and actually, you know, play EvE. Except now it's gonna be, hey, 'I have to do dalies, I cant go roam', rather than, 'hey, I can't roam null Im in +5s.'

You aren't giving people opportunities. You are giving them mandatory work, so you shouldn't expect them to like it. I positively hate even the idea of having achievements in a sandbox, as it is not really a sandbox when you have put goal posts in it. However, even a system where you can gradually collect achievements and get rewards is better than the grind that this will turn the game into. This fundamentally breaks parts of EvE, and tips the game one step closer to the sea of hyper-mediocrity and homogeneity that is the rest of the MMO world.

There are other, better, ways of getting people out in space. This is a bad change. I don't say bad idea because the perception here is that you already are going to do this change no matter what, you are just looking for positive feedback or things you didn't think about, rather than any sort of, this is a hideous abomination to what EvE is, don't do it, sort of feedback.

As a 2m SP player i welcome this addition. Gathering SP to do (more) fun stuff takes a lot of time, like now i am training to T2 frigates for exploration and i need a whole month for all the skills, a little bump/boost is very welcome and gives the incentive to login every day.
I guess that this addition is to boost the concurrent users and breath a bit more life into the game, i think its a good way but yeah dont make this world of warcraft.Tthese daily oportunities should be very limited, dont make the players feel that they HAVE TO do a bunch of dailies, its exausting.
But killing a simple rat, just to make people login is very easy and a good approach.

I understand that this is a little beyond the nature of the game for many people but skill extractors were the same, and those are limited to rich players.
We "poor" players would very much like this daily opportunity, it takes quite long to learn some "basic skills" but maybe limiting to low sp character or introducing diminishing returns on the reward for high SP players will solve the problem.
