And still the point seems to be missed that this is just a start opportunity to a system that will introduce many more. I'm sure the will even be wormhole specific ones which will make highsec players cry about how they have to go all the way into a wormhole for their reward.

It's an optional task, and if it's too much effort of you don't want to do it, then don't. Quit crying when CCP are actually adding things to the game. If it truly upsets you then unsub, you will not be missed.


im pretty sure if enough people get annoyed and quit because of dailies then they will be missed. As you say many more will be added till you have to dedicate any online time doing these tasks, this will affect fleet attendance and encourage solo play.

Im not at the stage yet to quit over this, time will tell, when they add more and more dailies and require facebook integration and constantly harrass me about doing these dailies then it will become an issue. its optional, we know its optional but dailies are designed to make you feel like you are losing something if not done, adding things to the game? chores to quickly increase login numbers is not adding something, they could have been soo much more creative with this sort of thing

Its funny though, whenever you dont agree with something you will argue for 40+ pages with multi-quotes, yet if others dont agree with something we should simply "stop crying" and "unsub"

Yeah, but then I don't believe many people will quit. I mean seriously, if them adding what effectively boils down to a 6m isk reward for a daily task causes people to quit the entire game, then they can't like the game that much.

I'm pretty sure they'd lose half their playerbase if they required facebook integration. Increasing login numbers is a good thing, as like their research shows, getting people past that login screen encourages other activities. I can't count the number of times I've logged into update a single order and ended up playing for an hour. I totally believe they will be more creative with them, they just need to start somewhere, and a simple, easily completeable task for a wide audience is a great start.

Personally I'd like to see a full on achievements system so there's tasks with varying degrees of complexity and reward. I know that being a sandbox having fixed paths is not a good idea, but having optional tasks that reward even just things like medals in your character sheet can really help move people out of their comfort zone.

That's not quite the case, jsut there was no real argument to discuss in his post. He's living in a wormhole supposedly not killing rats and killing a rat is too much effort therefore he thinks the feature shouldn't exist. I don't live in wormholes, and going into a wormhole is too much effort, therefore wormholes shouldn't exist. Would you consider that a reasonable argument?

Stopped a thief. Nothing.

Maybe it really was a late April Fools' joke?
Or they won't count for another 22h.

Yep now it works. Sadly whoever is in your fleet will also have to kill one. More work for me.

Yeah, but mission rats work as well, even though it's not mentioned in the text in-game. So just grab a low level mission and let everyone smack a ship.

Any idea if it's only the killing blow that gets it? Or most damage, or anyone on the kill?

Stuff


"you updated a market order and ended up playing for an hour" - additional dailies added will cover this time, you'll be logging in for an hour to do dailies then logging out, so you wont be interacting you will simply be doing chores like everyone else.

I kind of agree with the wormhole post, its similar to an rp'ers point where i either have to do a mission (finish mission or lose standings) or jump a ship a load of jumps so im not shooting my own faction rats.

But its implemented anyway so this post is pointless, enjoy the daily chores. Roll

Nop. If I want to play with "features" like this I can play browsergames that are for free.

But you dont play the feature, you play the game.
I highly doubt there is a game like EvE in your free browsergames pool.

There is.
