Daily's are a waste of time

Singer01

OK I love this game, but i think these daily's are a total waste of our time and fuel.
I mean, 24 trophies for only 8 or 9 Hero tokens. ARE YOU FREAKING SERIOUS.
Guys, you need to go back to the drawing board and re-think your rewards..
Rant over

Teeceezy

Do keep in mind that these rewards come on top of all the rewards you're receiving from completing the missions when doing the dailies: crate rewards, challenge rewards, distance rewards etc.

Singer01

In that case, they should lower the amount of fuel we use for these dailies

Firekid

Or just play the game in your usual way and just claim the challenges you happen to complete....

I'd like NG to re-think many things that are completely off and fix the problems before it's too late.

DLich

Just be happy there isn't a "complete x number of outpost raids" as a quest.

Overall I like the new quest system. Yes sometimes it doesn't make sense when you have to spend 18 gas in order to get 10 but the purpose is 2 fold.

1. You are getting additional rewards for doing various things
2. The game is encouraging you to try different things (get kills as a survivor type or a particular hero)

The purpose is to reward you for doing things you already do and/or to play different modes as well to be a rounded game. It's like the distance on saturday. Many players don't play it because they are stuck on challenges. Nobody is forcing anyone to complete the dailies, but if you do you will be rewarded.

That's just my opinion anyway.

@DLich

Very simple doing the season missions for the 10 gas. I spend 1 maybe 2 gas to gain 10. The 125 walkers killed can be farmed as well using seasons. So besides distance/scavenge/ challenge missions you can spend minimal gas and make do.

TJS

I'm still much happier with the new quest system. On average I'm getting as much gold or more than the old system plus the other individual rewards. The rewards in crates are an extra bonus, even if it is 8 or 9 hero tokens.

DrUnpleasant

I find myself doing these quests automatically while doing what I would have done anyway, with the possible exception of specific heroes or melee survivor types that I have to squeeze in. It's a pretty good system.

True... I'm talking about the "complete 3 scavenger missions" and the reward is 10 gas (yes I understand the rewards are random) but in this individual set up (when it occurs) you are spending 18 gas to get 10 back so it's kind of a catch 22 since you are spending more than you are earning.

Drunken

@DLich

Yeah I see that now most of my time my gas rewards are kill X walkers with X hero. So I guess we could say that you wash. But today for example I am going to do distance regardless so it just extra gas. The only real complaint I got is if I am on gas booster that the gas doesn't get applied and I am SOL on it.

TransmuteJun

I agree with @DLich (and others, but DLich always expresses things so well). The vast majority of the quests are things I would be doing anyway, and I get those rewards for free. Sometimes I get quests for things I would never do (such as playing with a scout or taking Eugene on missions) and I just use the 1 gas Season missions to get it done. Totally worth it for the rewards.

The point of the daily quests is to get you to login and play every day. In that, they are successful. If you don't want to play them, then you don't have to, but if you're playing, chances are you'll complete at least half of them anyway as part of your normal activities. I mean seriously, who doesn't get their free item from the TG store, make their free call and kill 10 walkers outside the fence every day? That's one guaranteed quest fulfillment right there!

And like DLich, I am also grateful that the quests do not include doing outpost missions. Thank you, NG!

Spend 36 gas, get 10 back

Nick37

I love the new quests, encourages me to do something different for a change, but I do miss some of the old quests like kill 5 walkers in 1 go, take no injuries etc.

ekimhclew

There are a lot of things wrong with this game, yes. But we have so many more ways of earning things like hero tokens and phones that we didn't used to have. Things like the dailys, challenge rewards, season missions etc.

While it could use a few tweeks, this is just another way for us to earn those types of valuable rewards. People will complain about anything, no matter how perfect or imperfect it may be.

Bottom line is, you don't have to play them. But you should at least see that NG is trying to help us earn more rewards without totally screwing up their bottom line. And I at least appreciate that. I like the dailys and will continue to reap the benefits of their rewards

I had this one yesterday. And I agree that this particular quest is annoying - 6 scavenger missions is a lot at 6 gas per mission.

Aside from this, though, I like the present quest system.

36 gas for scavenger wouldn't be bad on Monday but not on distance distance day

DBones

@pirate1125 , I actually did have it on Monday (yesterday), but Mondays are my Outpost days. All day raids, all day long. Using 26 gas (36-10) cost me 13 raids, or roughly 6500 TG. I think the scavenge mission quest should be limited to 3 scavenge missions. But again, that's just a small annoyance - I got MUCH bigger complaints than that right now.

MadPuppy

I don't think it's strange. I play scavenge and get 10 gas to boot. So I get a discount on my gas. I don't see why a daily reward should turn any bigger profit. It's 10 free gas. I never got that much extra free gas in a single reward before.

Those that don't normally play scavenge don't need to do so suddenly. Earn trophies next day.

I often deleted tasks or simply ignored them if they didn't suit me in the old system.

Now there's many more available tasks and mostly more readily achievable. Obviously not all tasks are favorite for all. So it's good they are diverse. Now there's hopefully something there for everyone's tastes.

Singer01

Thanks guys, A lot of input. I just had really bad daily quests, all to get 26 trophies for a crappy 9 tokens. Really... 9 tokens..
That was my main beef

AlexFiliUK

One nice note is that you can get Aaron tokens as a possible reward

ekimhclew

@Singer01

9 tokens is better than 0. Which is what you'd be earning if they never updated the daily quest system. Be happy they gave you anything.

If you're usual scavenge cost is 6 gas with the reward of 10 gas your getting 6 scavenge missions for less than 4 gas a mission.

I'd easily do 6 scavenge missions in 24hrs on a off challenge day in any case. Even with The Distance it shouldn't be a problem.

Sorry guildleader, I love the new quest system, using season missions, I can get most done with minimum fuel. Heck, even 10gas for 6 distance legs means those legs are half price and with 1 more mission, I get 60 hero tokens.

The only time I gripe is challenge missions on the last day of the challenge. It just means I don’t push myself until that last day, leaving room to do the missions for the daily.

Phalanx44

My 5 rewards today (4 quests + 1 for completing the 4) were all phones!! Netted a quick 11 phones, which would have at most been 30 gold in the old system..

got to say I'm pretty happy with the change.

Jaden

Last remarkable rewards I had was Monday - got 60 gold for almost no effort. Managed to finish all but one quest using the season mission. And the other one I finished using the free call.

Sometimes it's just great, other times the rewards are not worth the trouble. Then I can choose to simply not do them. Like with the old quests....

There needs to be some regulation of the rewards. I've never seen more than 2 phones in a day, unlike the poster before you who got the awesome 11 phones, and I've had no more than 40 gold total since the new system started, let alone 60 in one day..

I would absolutely love this new system if I knew I could get at least 10 gold per day among the 4 quests, plus whatever else was randomly generated.

Quests used to allow me to earn enough gold for a few heals at the end of challenge or to fill a tank of gas on the Distance. Now' I'm depleting my already measly reserves for that purpose. Maybe NG thinks they can sell more gold bundles that way. But not to me.

paintbeast

The new system would be a lot better if we could still trash a quest for a different option.

ShayHa

i agree, too much gas for those daily quests!!

Jaden

I would hate not to be able to get those awesome days that give me all phones or all gold.

But I would not mind having at least one quest giving gold with the option to reset one quest and the rest all being random.

What I really don't like is "do x scavenge missions" on any challenge or distance day. Worst case scenario: Saturday, having to do scavenge, distance and challenge missions to get the rewards. Haven't personally seen that so I don't know if that exists...

DBones

I had the "all phones" rewards last week. Needless to say, I was very happy with it
