Missing the first daily login reward

Jolipinator · June 2018

Daily login rewards will launch on June 5th along with Summerset/Update 18 for consoles. How will that work out for console players? If the rewards start at 12am UTC on June 5th, and maintenance usually is at 10am UTC, a few hours later we can start downloading the patch. Console patches are always so large I end up leaving them to download overnight, but if that happens this time I will miss the first reward. I'm not the only one with slow download speeds.

Yeah big deal. I'll miss 10 gold right? Wrong, I can collect the 10 gold the next day, but I will miss out on whatever is available on the last day of the month. I assume that day will be the best reward, like a crown crate/pet/more than 10 gold.

If you can't log in and happen to miss a day, don't worry, the reward days are cumulative, meaning you won't lose progress and you can continue where you left off within the month. However, all progress does reset at the end of the month, and if you don't have enough days left to claim all of that month's rewards, you might miss out on some.

Yes, you can call me greedy, say I am whining, but June is the first test of this system. How can we test it properly if many people will be unable to log in on the first day?

If I'm understanding the system properly, you get X rewards in a calendar month and X will vary. Lets say it's 20 for June. You can only collect 20 rewards in June so you basically have 10 "free" days leftover if you log in every day. If you miss a day, you can make it up later in the month unless the cycle uses the exact number of days in that month. We'll know more when the system goes live but the intention seems to be giving players some freedom to miss a day here or there and still collect all the rewards for that month.

So you get free stuff for doing something you are already doing and you want more?

Testing is done on the PTS, not Live. Well, supposedly....

Gina mentioned somewhere that the best reward would not be given during the last day of the month.

From what I understood, if a month like this one has 25 days with login rewards, the best reward would require something like 20 logins, so they will leave some room there. (she didn't mention any figures, the numbers are just as an example, but you get the idea...)

At worst, you might miss out on some minor stuff, like crafting supplies, since they will probably give minor rewards once you get past the number necessary for the good stuff.

Is it really 10 gold

Sometimes I wonder if the forums are just where people go to complain about things when they have nothing better to do. Doesn't matter how insignificant your complaint is, the forums are here for you.

*sigh*

You just described the Internet as a whole.

I tried it on PTS. In the first day is 10 gold, then it gets better, like riding lessons, research scrolls (more than one, one day had like 8 blacksmith research scrolls iirc) and the tenth days had four crown crates. The rewards are cumulative, if you miss a day you can get it the next day together with the current day reward, but you will have to play for like 20-30 minutes, at least is how it worked when it was introduced on PTS, I'm not sure how it works now.

Nobody knows what it will be. But, the simple gold rewards were for testing purposes. So, almost certainly not.

I really wish Legends would follow that example. I can't remember how many legendary singles I missed out on simply because I failed to log in once during the month.
