EVE General Discussion

I'm just curious about the current state of daily's and if CCP in the near future plans to expand this concept even further. I think it was a great addition for players but "thrill of the hunt" each day is .

If you consider it grind or a tedious task.... don't do it. I on the other hand will be happy to see dailies expanded

Eve is marketed as a place where players generate the content among themselves. Dailies and all other NPC-based content are an abomination and should be killed with fire.

The above recent dev blog covers some of the changes/ideas tied to daily oppertunities. Basically, there will not be anything new like the current SP daily, but past events like the guerista one will become a form of limited time.event dailies.

Please stop trying to put EVE in a box.

The universe is more than just player content. CCP's efforts generate a lot of fun and content for players as well. Many, if not most, players actually do NPC/AI interaction with the game. While this is euphemistically called PvE in EVE, it's not. We all still compete to engage in it. So it's still 'player based content'.

I have a lot of competition in my area for running pirate sites so I know how much the resource is stretched. That's certainly player content around NPC sites. So your observation is a bit off skew, it's still player based content and the intent is to get players to log in more and start making MORE player based content while they are in there.

Thus, CCP's efforts are the exact opposite of what is being implied, they want more players on and are just using a little bit of a bribe to do it.

I don't know how well it works but I know I log in to play for about an hour when I can find the spare hour to do it and enjoy the 10K SP boost, it's helping with my training.

^^^^^ This is probably why you haven't seen any hints of the next level.

They don't want to over-do the rewards so I have no idea what they'd target next. Maybe some straight ISK reward or chance at a blingy thing. (equivalent to clothes/mounts or pets on other MMO's)

Once you had to log in every day to do your skill queue. CCP said that those who logged in tended to stay logged in, finding something to do. The Daily is an attempt by CCP to bring that situation back, but use a carrot (extra SP) rather than a stick ( your training stops).

But so far, I see no increase in the concurrent player level. To me, CCP's efforts appear to have failed.

Let see...
At ~20% faster, that gives, if you do it every day

• 1 extra day of training per 5
• 6 extra days per month (30 days), the equivalent of one and a half 1x skills to V
• 72 extra days, 2.4 months, of training every year!

Even if you only do it HALF of the time you're gaining about another month and a week of training each year. Insignificant?

I don't understand why are you still arguing about advantages or disadvantages of 20% more SP. Since the introduction of Injectors, these dailies hardly matter. Mandatory, you say? If you are so obsessed with SP, just inject yourself and don't do dailies. Simple as that. Hows that for an advantage? Ask Iron Bank if he is doing dailies.

The same CCP used to look at when they noted the log-ins for skillqueue updates were sometime generating content? Nobody know what the data looked at was except whoever at CCP did those analysis but hopefully that person remember what he checked and can do the same.
