Would you like to have a choice for you Daily Login Reward?

xXSilverDragonXx

I think the daily login rewards are a nice addition to the game from years ago when there were none. But could we please update them so that people can choose between two items so that they don't become, essentially, trash to delete? It's not that I'm ungrateful. I am grateful for these items being offered to the players that can use them now. But what about those of us that don't need them? Looking at you, research writs, for research that I complete in 2017. What am I gonna do with that reward. And poison? Never use it. Food? I make it, stuff that I actually use.

Adding some choices would be really nice. Especially for the research writs because to be blunt, it does chap my butt a little bit every time I get one of those and remember the 1.5 years of grinding that out with nothing on the horizon to make it any shorter.

So maybe we could get some choices for our login rewards, something like:

Chose Tri Pots or Alchemy Mats (something similar to writ rewards)
Choose Poison or Alchem Mats (something similar to writ rewards)
Food or Crown Repair Kits
Research Writs or Choice of one type of riding lesson
XP scroll or Alliance XP scroll

Or maybe login reward gems that we can use to buy any of these items listed above. You take the reward or you take the gems. Then you buy what YOU want as your login reward. That would be really nice for players to have that amount of choice.

What do we think?

I think it could be fine. Personally, i don’t really care about those rewards, but i guess it would be better if you only play mag or stam or need a specific mounting lesson.

Make all daily logins exchangeable for one Crown Gem. You are still only talking about 1 meaningful reward like every two years. But would be nice for the players, and would hardly hurt their sales.

Leave them as they are. If people need them or have no use for them, so what?

While it is kind of a nuisance to keep getting things I never use, I don't know that I'd want to be bothered choosing every day.

I don't need more clicks in going through that thing.

(Also, pretty much every "login reward" system I've dealt with in games has had things that weren't of use to me. It's the nature of the beast. Just like every "battlepass"/etc has fluff & filler, no matter how much people yell that they'd like it to just be all 'good stuff'. They're not going to give that to you.)

I hate it that I get riding skill books and crafting research scrolls when all my characters on that account are maxed out and I can't use them on my second account. So they just stack up with no way to use them. As Bastion says, "That's cruel and wasteful!"

While I appreciate the attempt to keep the poll simple, in this case especially I would have liked an "other" and as such am kind of being pushed towards "no." Which maybe is accurate - I don't really want the exact suggestion - but I would like to see some changes to the Daily Login Rewards and strongly support the sentiment that they could be made better.

I agree with the two quoted posts above. I wouldn't want extra clicks, and I think it's a great idea to be able to exchange the login rewards for one Crown Gem.

Another idea I had is that maybe items from the login rewards be added to the craft bag or be their own bag - a "reward bag" - so they wouldn't take so much space in inventory. Right now, in my inventory, I keep "stacks" of things I don't even want ever because it is easier than constantly deleting or selling only having the inventory slot to be basically taken up again in the next pull. Like the standard potions you collect in game. Or the Crown Store poisons. Just let them go to a bag and stack if not indefinitely to a much larger number so that our "reward" isn't inventory management, at least!

Finally, I really think that the "big" daily reward for the month should be either at the beginning of the month or also rewarded, via e-mail, if you play a certain amount of time each month. Forcing a play style of logging in every day when people can't always afford to do that, time-wise, while still may be dedicated to the game, is not a "reward." It is an attempt at sucking you in and changing your habits. I think it's interesting that the OP felt it had to be carefully worded that they are not ungrateful. As if the rewards are being offered to truly reward us just for playing. They aren't. They are there to entice us to log in every day so we see more of the flash Crown Store sales or get sucked into playing, even if we don't have time. They are trying to get us to log in when we otherwise wouldn't, and somewhat prey on FOMO and addictive personalities. I won't be "grateful" until the big payout is given to all active players, regardless of login habits, and unneeded rewards can be exchanged for something, no matter how small. In other words, when the rewards are handled so they are more inclusive of more players as opposed just the ones that can log in every day. Otherwise I will continue to view the rewards as more predatory than nice. Not that anyone probably cares that I think this... but my two cents regardless.

Can't vote. There is only yes or no that don't match in my case. For me it's: I don't care.
Reason: I don't think that a choice would change anything.

I tend to believe that the pool of choices would hardly include anything interesting. Also, am pretty sure that as soon as the pool of rewards would be available, a never ending phase of complaints & arguing would start about "why this and not that". That would change the reason for grumbling, but not stop the grumbling...

Nah, it's free stuff, there's no reason to not take free stuff.

I do kinda wish the third week reward was more generous from time to time.
Maybe it's because they had the whole Murkmire DLC as a third-week login reward on a November month and that set my bar way up too high (although DLC would be a longshot, but I still appreciate emotes and cosmetics over 4 stamina riding lessons)

I would absolutely love an alchemy/jewelry vendor too.
We have food, wood, metal, fabric and rune vendor perks, but none for alchemy and jewel, and I'm running out of Platinum seams way faster than I should (well, maybe I should just stop doing writs and start farming them but a vendor perk wouldn't hurt)

It's not a big deal for me but there are some things I've never used and I'm not likely to use, like the research scrolls. So being able to select something else instead would be nice.

(For now I just put them all in a storage chest and if it gets over 1 stack or I need the space I'll delete them.)

My problem with the "daily login reward" is, that it litterally forces you to log in to not miss out on certain nice rewards often towards the end of the month. I'd rather see a system like in GW2 where the log-in reward just continues from where you last logged in instead of depending on the calendar day.

While I do see the need for a slight change in regards to the login rewards in terms of what items it provides, I don't think that it should be an either-or selection. The system could just look at whether all of your chars (or the char you logged in with) have researched already all traits and leveled up the mount to maximum and in such cases offer other items then research scrolls or horse books instead.

I like the rewards don't change it. Trinstat potions are very useful, just like crown repair kits or exp scrolls.

I would happy if they would just add a skip option, so I don't have find it in my inventory, right click, find the junk option and then open the junk tab and then finally being able to get rid of the stuff I don't want...

orgin_stadia

The daily rewards are basically useless anyway. I've never bothered to log in just to get the daily reward. It seems to me that the daily rewards does not serve its purpose.

draigwyrdd

I'd like a "do not receive" option, personally. Some of the rewards are stuff I don't want and just destroy - it'd be nice to be able to say "no" to getting them in the first place.
