So people are upset because this feels too easy by the comments the thing is balance wise everyone can do it and earn from it I think this system is implemented to players who are new think about it first couple days of eve you are really limited because everything requires a investment of skills compared to say a vet who is way into the millions does not really need to worry so much about skill points because they have a good number of skill points to effectively go on unhindered to the burden of skill points.

Daily's are not all that bad at least it brakes you away for instance if your doing mining you can take a brake from it and do the daily till its all done then go back to mining same with hauling.

Can someone explain to me how Recurring Opportunities are supposed to appear in the Eve client on Tranquility??

I've logged in/out 4 times, flushed cache, etc. and still don't see anything like the pics leaked a few weeks ago from Singularity testing.

As usual, CCP has launched a new feature with ZERO documentation and/or explanation.

Or is this going to be a random "hey I got skill points for no particular reason" feature??

Apparently it's active. I just got the 10k SP reward after killing a rat in an anomaly.

First time.

Well, I did one straight after patching to see how it would work - and it worked fine.

To see the opportunity, make sure the setting for 'Do not show in info panel' is unchecked in the settings menu of the Opportunities Map (menu bar on left).

So far so good - but that was on one account - now it's not showing on any accounts, including the one earlier - not even showing as complete.

So something has gone wrong......

I switched between characters on the same account, and the opportunity disappeared, without ever being exercised.

So will it be enabled again today or will all the people who didn't get a chance to log on yet get free 100k sp to match the ones "making creative use of game mechanics"?

Just FYI, this has been disabled due to it being exploited

Idk why people are hating on this idea, I've been playing since late 07 and I think I'd be much happier starting EVE with something like this available. If it encourages new players to stay then great, do it!

It`s not about new players. CCP confirmed.


I don't really care about their intent, this will make new players happier than they would have been without it guaranteed.

whats wrong with isk as a reward? This money earned could be put towards skill injecotrs, BPOs, or whatever the hell else they wish to buy.

Because there's far too much isk coming in already.

It's not targeted at noobs but at the entire player base.

This is truely the worst update i have ever seen on eve. Its farmville online now. So the basic daily work for me world be killing one rat per alt on my 3 accounts. Otherwise ill miss 300k SP per month, which is roughly 7-8 skill injectors for 9 alts. Are you kidding me? Well, i should move all my alts back to hs then, to do daily lvl 1 combat missions.

Really, this how eve is supposed to be played now? i hate it.

Going to just voice my dislike of this plan, bit late though since it's now live.
While the idea of more skillpoints is good, there is no sense of earning it here.

All that has been introduced is a chore.
EVERYONE, when they launch eve will log into each toon 1-by-1 to kill a belt rat then log into their main.
It takes time away from actually playing the game and will just get annoying for everyone and you cannot stop because the though of turning down free skillpoints is ludicrous

- another 10k SP for participating in 1 billion worth kill mail?
Please do not take it literally, just as a concept.

Going to correct myself here. After checking ingame I can confirm this feature is per account, not per character.

Still not keen on it, as this increases the base SP yield of everyone and punishes those who have unsubbed or have multiple accounts. Kind of wondering if this change was made to punish them.

Indeed that's looks strange.

EVE - the only hardcore game we still have.

I can understand extra SP given for some valuable action in the game: 15 signatures scanned / 3 missions finished / first capsuleer ship killed / etc. but not over the first kill of _any_ NPC daily.
It takes about 1 minute mostly, LOL.

Or just provide it at first character login.

P.S. How about reward over first line typed in chat daily?

is there a way to opt out of the daily missions? I don't want to give the wrong impression to participate in them while killing a plex or gate rat during a roam.

I am not playing this game for daily rewards, i don't want to contribute to the success metric of that feature. If i kill a rat i would have killed it with or without this daily mission. Please add a option to opt out just like with the opportunities, thanks.

how to fix eve: 1) remove ECM 2) rename dampeners to ECM 3) add new anti-drone ewar for caldari 4) give offgrid boosters ongrid combat value

Positive feedback from a player that plays on a daily basis. Guess the "rich" dont like the idea to have more "rich" people.
If this is not the problem whats up with all this negative feedback, if you dont want dont enter daily and dont spend the unalocated sp and let the others gain from it. I think it rewards players that play regularly and can more easily achieve skills to participate more in the game like pvp and other stuff.

Any chance of the recurring opportunities notification disappearing once completed, and reappearing when the timer expires?

I am referring to the area top left, under the route/ current solar system information. The little shield with a clock bit.
