Upcoming Feature and Change Feedback Center

Not sure if it was mentioned or not, but "dailies" are already implemented in the game for 6 years! They are called Planetary Interaction and are actually designed in such clever way, that OCD completionists are more effective, but clever play may optimize output to be worth time/effort. Is it's gameplay outdated now? YES! So why don't you make an update to already released stuff which is nicely intertwined with core gameplay?

Or cannot be Incursions system updated to provide some kind of dailies? Dailies that are meant to be played, not just clicked through?

EDIT: And actually datacore production boosts by science missions was basically the same idea as the new one, and it IMHO failed horribly.

Mental involvement of players with this newly proposed Daily Opportunities is on the "braindead" level. Do you really want your players to behave in this messed up way? Isn't it better to still market eve as the game for "mature and bright players" * ? Because with such features as this one, you really cannot, without risking to be laughed at.

Please, give drawing board one more chance with this feature...


* Don't worry, everyone sees him/her/itself mature and bright, it won't dive your subscription numbers.

You can still do any activity you want to make isk to buy a skill injector and thereby "reward" yourself with SP. Literally no one is going to force you to do a daily. It's one more avenue should you choose as a method of gaining more SP than the passive amount. Big whoopdy doo.

You negative Nancy meatsacks in here seem to not be grasping this concept.

You know why their name has to be shortened to Dailies? Because they're Daily Chores, and it would be readily apparent how stupid they are if their full name was spelled out.

Hardly the opposite of a sandbox. In terms of SP as a production job, in the context of SP extractor/injectors, people are going to have to get creative with the risks tied to undocking and scoring a NPC kill. As this is per character, rather than per account, players can't have a single grunt to go and fetch all available SP. If you trying to max SP production for harvesting you'll be undocking with expensive attribute implants. Finding safe space and establishing protection networks will require initiative.

You gentlemen must have totally forgotten what EVE is (rather, was) all about. I'm sorry to say that, but you'll never become World of Spaceships neither this nor any other way.

This game used to promote thrill, risk and creativity. It's now safe to say that over the years you've traded it for routine grinding, safety and patterns.

The subscription I've been paying over the last 3 years without even playing the game itself has turned out as the worst monetary expenses of my life as, apparenty, it has all gone into CCP buying some high-grade pot. All power to you to have fun while that stock lasts, but I'm out.

Disclaimer - To busy to read all responses currently, but needed to throw in two cents.

I'm ok with this concept. It gets people logging in and engaged. However if it is literally Login > Target > F1 > Logoff. I think it isn't that great.

Why not have it under the same line of a escalation? Have people fly around a bit, maybe pickup a key for an acceleration gate in one system to be used elsewhere. Something that would get people to be logged in for more than 3 minutes at a time. I think aiming for a person to be on for 15-30 minutes and have to travel a handful of systems would be fantastic.

What idiot came up with this nonsense of pve>pvp? Forcing pve on people is not the kind of sandbox that eve stands for.
Daily rewards for eve belong in the scrapheap. See this unsubscribe button CCP? It seems as though you do not GET eve.

Sack the people responsible for this atrocity immediately so no more harm can come from their dumb ideas. CCP stands for one step forwards, two steps back.

They can still do that, no one is taking that capability away.



Then don't? I don't see what mechanic is forcing your play-style to become that.

That's the thing with all MMO dallies though. You don't HAVE to do them, but they are the quickest path to the best rewards. SWTOR it's for data crystals, ESO it's for item sets/motifs etc.

Dailies are designed in a way that you want to do them because they offer something you desire. If these were for LP, there would be no (well fewer, this is the internet) complaints because people who have no need/desire for LP wouldn't do them. However making it the only source of bonus SP which can be added on top of buying skill injectors means players want to do them. Not for the fun or enjoyment of it, but because the rewards are so high.

Dailies are a terrible system which have only ever served to help themepark MMO's hold their audience longer while they develop new content. They're not sandbox and they're not what EVE is (or was I guess) about.

-1 to this idea. Daily grind for sp has a really bad taste to it. You're essentially trying to "force" people to login, similar to how you're trying to "force" people to move trading to citadels by hiking the market taxes manyfold. I cant speak about others, but i'm not liking the direction that eve development seems to be taking.....
