Daily Bonus

LordDragonSlayer · August 2023

Please just give us the Daily Bonus when we participate in any Battleground and no matter where we finish. The catch is we must have done damage, been killed at least once, have at least one kill, or something else that indicates you participated in the BG. This way you can avoid those that come in to just collect the bonus and leave. The in game mailed rewards should only go to those that finish 1st or 2nd. You want us to do the BGs and PVP but honestly when you have to do it 5 or more times to get the bonus it makes me never want to do them again. Also, there are so many people botting that it is usually 2 v 4 or even 1 v 4 while the others stay at the start/respawn area.

I do not have to do 5 dungeons to get the daily bonus and a lot of the time, the dungeon run is shorter than the BG so why do the BG if it takes 1 hour to get the daily bonus?

If this has been posted before, my apologies. I did a search and it was difficult to find what I wanted to discuss. If you find another discussion thread about the same topic more quickly, please teach me. I am not going through pages and pages of discussions either. If should be easily and quickly found without having to ready 50 forum discussions.

i find it kind of annoying to have to place first or second sometimes to complete the quest as well, especially if your playing on a character you do a lot of BGs on and get matched against tryhards all the time

a similar thing could be said why i dont enjoy the pvp tribute daily either (required to get wins to progress)

i much prefer getting the BG daily that involves getting medal score, as medal score gauges participation

The whole "win 5 battlegrounds" quest is a nightmare too. Feels like there are like 200 people that play BG's daily and something like 150 of them are ultra sweaty. I'm also not convinced that solo queue isn't being matched in pug teams vs group queue. Some of these teams are way too coordinated to not be on coms in a BG.

I type fast, but there is no way they are putting together full complimentary builds and gameplans via text in a minute before a match starts.

Outside of the very occasional bug where the queues get crossed, I can assure you that it is just players that play a lot. More specifically, players that play with each other a lot. Like you said - the BG population is low. At a certain point, the sweats begin to recognize other sweats and how they play. If you queue solo and get someone you recognize, it's not very difficult to play to their strengths based on past experience.

You also don't need to restructure your build to compliment someone else's. Something as small as slotting a heal instead of a major sorcery/brutality buff if you notice a DK is running Molten Armaments, for example, is an easy way to instantly increase your team's effectiveness.

That's not to say the queues don't get messed up sometimes - although in my experience of thousands of hours of BGs, this has never happened to me with group/solo and only occasionally happens with over/under 50 BGs. In other words, you can occasionally be placed in a below 50 BG as a max level toon.

@TybaltKaine yeah, that one is the worst. I used to pick up a daily on one character and not turn it in just in case that one pops up, then I stopped caring about the daily reward when I noticed it was trash 90% of the time

Yeah, the the conditions for the daily seriously need to change. There have been many times where I had the highest score or nearly the highest score out of all the teams, but still didn’t get the daily because my team didn’t place 1st or second. I think your team placing first or second should still remain, but there should also be additional alternatives tacked on. For example, you will get the bonus if your team placed first or second, or if you reached a certain bg score, or if you managed to do some other condition.

This is still problematic because players will drop down, cast a skill to do damage, then go AFK. I could see a team or player threshold score where, if you pass it, you still get reward even if you finish last. And then you might still have problem of people playing until they reach that threshold, then going AFK. The current system, imperfect though it is, does have the advantage that players you are teamed with usually give their best from start to finish.

Lost me at "been killed at least once". ~Doesn't happen.

The afk-ness and bot-ness of such a scenario. You could easily end up with only 1 or 2 players out of 12 actively playing.
