[2021] Daily Quests

Summary

Some players are having difficulties setting their own goals when they initially begin playing Crowfall, after they finish the NPE. Having a set of daily tasks should help these players and improve retention. NOTE: These daily quests are not intended to be a requirement for more experienced players, and rewards will be balanced with that in mind.

 

Daily Quests

Within the Quest Log, players now have access to a variety of Daily Quests which appear within a “Daily Quest” section.

• Daily Quests appear automatically within your Quest Log (they do not need to be accepted, and do not appear on any quest givers)
  • Daily Quests do not have a dialog associated with them
  • Daily Quests cannot be abandoned, they will always appear within your quest log while active
  • All players share the same Daily Quests, regardless of the campaign they are in
• Daily Quest Completion is tracked per account
• Daily Quests reset at a specified Daily Reset Time
  • This reset time is the same for all players
    • Eg. All Daily Quests reset at 10:00 am CST
  • Players will see the reset time based in their time zone (similar to how siege schedules are displayed)
  • This reset time appears within the Daily Quests UI
• When Daily Quests reset, all progress made towards the Daily Quest is lost
• Whenever a Daily Quest is completed, players must claim the Daily Quest Rewards from the Daily Quests UI (with no need to turn in quests)
• Each day, four Daily Quests are chosen from a designer defined list of Daily Quests at random
  • All players share the same randomly selected quests each day
  • Eg. Monday my daily quests may be “Capture Outposts, Capture a Fort, Run a Caravan, and Sacrifice a Player Skull” but on Tuesday, they are “Capture a Fort, Kill 10 enemies in a hotzone, Participate in a Keep or Castle Siege, and Defeat a Wartribe Boss
• Example Daily Quests:
  • Capture Outposts
  • Capture a Fort
  • Run a Caravan
  • Sacrifice a player's skull
  • Kill 20 enemies (NPCs) in a hotzone
  • Participate in a Keep or Castle Siege
  • Defeat a Wartribe Group Boss
  • Compete in an Arena (See Arenas GDD)

Daily Quest Rewards

• Daily Quests reward a unique Token Currency, which can be used at vendors that appear within temples to buy gear, crafting materials, disciplines, and other items
  • NOTE: This gear will never exceed the highest rarity Wartribe gear acquirable in Shadow

Daily Quest Bonuses

Every completed Daily Quest makes progress towards a Daily Quest Bonus

• Players must complete several quests to be rewarded with the Daily Quest Bonus
  • Players can claim their Daily Quest Bonus when they complete enough Daily Quests to qualify for the reward
• There are four Daily Quest Bonuses, with increasing rewards and Daily Quest Completion requirements
  • Eg. 100 tokens at 15 quests, 200 tokens at 30 quests, 400 tokens at 45 quests, 600 tokens at 60 quests
• Daily Quest Bonus progress resets on the 1st of every month at the Daily Reset Time
  • Within the Daily Quest UI, countdown displays how many days remain (see mockup)
• Daily Quest Bonus completion is account-based, meaning completing a Daily Quest on any character will increment it
• The player can complete a daily quest in any campaign
