[2020] Focused Feedback: Daily Login Core

Hey everyone! Just wanted to hop in and give my thoughts on the Daily Bonus Core. First off, we made some changes to it in a genuine effort to make it more interesting to collect as we felt the old core was fairly stagnant in what and how it delivered. Being a bonus, it seemed like an area we could play around with a bit and see what people liked. I see some of the distress the changes have caused you and that’s not what we were aiming for. We’ll be releasing some iterations of the core (and the feature as a whole!) in the future.

Delivery mechanism - I’ve noticed some comments around the delivery of this being in the store. This was actually the easiest way for us to make a quick version of this feature that wouldn’t delay any other major features. We wanted to get it out there and see what happened. Now that it’s stable and you all enjoy getting it, we’ll see a more interesting (and fun!) implementation of it right around the bend coming with our Ramsgate rework.

Emote drop rate - Yep these were totally tuned to be super rare. On top of that the presentation of getting one is pretty minimal so it’s possible people who got one might have even missed it, ack! I’m going to play with tuning down the rarity a reasonable amount. I’d like these to be achievable and something that is a reward for those who collect the bonus more frequently.

Vault Coins - This was definitely a miscommunication issue. We didn’t plan to have Vault Coins in the daily bonus core initially, but we announced it anyways - sometimes the wires get crossed when you’ve got a lot moving. However, given that I want to start finding more ways of awarding Vault Coins, I’ll be adding them in, in a near future release.

Ace Chips - I didn’t think people would miss this one as much as they did and I guess I missed the mark! I’ll be adding some Ace Chips back in there.

Reset Time - I’d love this to be on a consistent schedule too. Due to the way this is currently implemented, it’s going to stay this way for the next release but something I would love for us to get on the backlog when there’s time.

I’ll also be adding in a consistent daily Patrol Chest award. There’s still going to be some RNG but I hope that everyone gets some materials they can use, a few power-ups and boosts as well as a few occasional surprises. Thanks for chiming in and taking the time to feedback on this. It’s been great hearing from you all.

Be well and stay safe, friends.

Great callouts. We don’t like the way that Escalation Boosts drooped from the Elite Pass either and we are looking into a better solution for future passes for sure!

I also dream of a world where all those materials you’re sitting on might still be valuable... ;)
