Daily Login Rewards are...uh...not that

Mess Room
1

Daily, I play a round of Enlisted (but not always, it depends on how busy I am), then I switch over to War Thunder Air Simulator Battles.
Three times this week I have logged in to Enlisted to make sure I don’t “break my streak” and the Daily Reward For Logging In has NOT been a reward for logging in. It’s not a reward at all.

It’s a notification that I need to go complete some BS Daily Task (which, twice, requires equipment that I don’t even have access to, as a fairly new player), that I’m not even interested in completing.

If you’re going to entice me to log in every day so I can get a daily reward, then the act of logging in should have a reward. It should definitely NOT be “tied to completing” (insert daily task here).

The Daily Task already has a reward attached to it, so you’re not rewarding me for logging in - which defeats the entire purpose of trying to entice me to log in every day (pumping that Active Daily Users count for the corporate metrics - I know how that works) by…not rewarding me for simply logging in.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. See the UI where it says “Tomorrow” and has a crate that is ostensibly holding a reward for logging in tomorrow.
  2. Log in tomorrow to get that reward.

Expected Behavior:

  1. Log in, the “slot machine wheel” graphic plays, a Daily Login Reward is selected and awarded.

Observed Behavior:

  1. Log in, the “slot machine wheel” graphic plays, a ‘teaser’ of the reward (1000 coins was today) is displayed with the message "This reward is tied to completing this objective “Kill 8 enemies using artillery fire.” You will receive the reward when you complete the objective.

Forget that, man! I’m not even playing my one round today because I’m so frustrated that I felt the need to come point out in the Suggestions Forum that the “Daily Login Reward” is not rewarding people for logging in daily, like it says on the label.

It’s a freaking To-Do list of stuff that I am not doing because I don’t like doing it. I have no desire to kill 6 tanks or figure out how to use artillery. I want to take my squad and go shoot some people, then move on to other things.

Did you get your reward for the login?

If so, then it isn’t broken.

Also, the BP isn’t tied to the daily login bonus.

No.

I got a To-Do task on the Daily Login Reward screen that says 1000 coins "tied to completing this task: “Kill 8 enemies using Artillery Fire” (which is also on my BP task list).
THEN, after I do that I’ll get the 1000 coins as the “Daily Login Reward”

I ended yesterday (after an upgrade spree) with 850 coins.
I currently have…850 coins, not 1850…

I might be misreading things.

If you didn’t get the bonus for not only the daily login, but for also completing a task, then it might be a bug.

You’re probably better off reporting it here: Community Bug Reporting System

Tying rewards to BP tasks has been here since BP was introduced - you have NEVER received silver, or gold tokens when we still had them, other than you had to complete a task to get them.

You get boosters without having to complete a task, but silver is and always has been tied to completing a task.

I was thinking that after I first replied. I’m a bit cloudy atm. Thanks for clearing it up! :slight_smile:

Then I suspect you’ll agree that Silver shouldn’t really be in the rotation for the Daily Login.

It’s there to entice you to do one thing - it rewards you for coming back every day.

If you are not receiving a Daily Login Award for completing a Daily Login by…logging in…then on the face of it, it’s not a Daily Login Reward. If you see that it’s tied to some Daily Task that you don’t want to do that and immediately log out…in the famous words of Willy Wonka…

(and “Nothing” is not a Daily Login Reward)

I mean, you DO get stuff, but some of it is tied to doing something. It’s hardly “nothing”.

Then you would be wrong - I have no problem with it at all.

You might want to make a suggestion to change it, but it is what it has always been.

You might want to make a suggestion to change it, but it is what it has always been.

I initially thought I was - but when it posted it looks like I mis-clicked and it posted to Mess Room.
So I posted it in Suggestions.

@LokalHero merged it back into this Mess Room post instead of merging this one into the Suggestions post… /sigh.

And I can’t edit, or move it, or even delete it and re-post it where it belongs. I can only hope Lokalhero catches the @ and migrates it back over to Suggestions where it really should go.

Anyway

The example I thought of overnight is that it’s like… War Thunder and Enlisted are two clubs/bars that are owned by the same owner.

The club looks healthy to the owner’s investors if there are a LOT of return customers.

So the owner says "Hey, if you come into War Thunder:The Pub Experience EVERY DAY and talk to the bartender, he’ll give you $5. (because even if that’s all you do enough people will come in and spend the $5 on a $7 lunch that giving everyone $5 for free is still a money-maker. Nobody actually has to DO anything except show up and talk to the Bartender (i.e. Log in for a Login Reward). They even have a sign over the bar that says "It’s Christmas? Got a Parole Appointment? Can’t make it in tomorrow? Just check in on Yelp! (i.e. WT mobile) and you’re good!

Then the owner some years later opens a SECOND themed pub. this one around the Infantry Experience. But it’s otherwise MOSTLY the same. Same menus (rearranged and in a different font), same seating, same decor, etc.
Same “Hey, if you visit Enlisted: The Pub Experience EVERY DAY, we’ll give you $5 here, TOO!”
Except 3/5ths of the time, you show up to Enlisted: The Pub Experience and hit up the Bartender and he says.
Here’s your $5 for coming in today. It can be yours once you go play 6 rounds of Video Poker at that machine down at the end of the bar.
Or
Here’s your $5 for coming in today. It can be yours once you pick three songs on the jukebox.
Or
Here’s your $5 for coming in today. It can be yours if you get even one question right on tonight’s Pub Trivia Contest.

Maybe it’s “always been like that” - but that doesn’t mean that the disconnect between “Daily Login Reward” - e.g. a reward for Logging In - and then actually having to DO something (anything) above and beyond the act of Logging In wouldn’t be seen as “bait and switch” by at least one Jurisdiction someplace on this large planet full of jurisdictions full of weird laws somewhere.

If you say “We will give you something for Doing X” and your customer Does X, then you tell them "Oh, no, AKCHUALLY you need to go Do Y for us to give you that thing we said we’d give you for Doing X after they already Did X, that’s…the precise definition of Bait and Switch.

Whether it’s always been like that or not, it is incorrect (and illegal somewhere) behavior to move the goalposts like that after your customer has already filled the stated terms (logging in) to get the reward (the Daily Login Reward) - even if it’s just a “booster”, that booster has monetary value, since you can buy the same thing in the store.

Following?
Agree? Disagree? (aside from “it’s always been like that” which hasn’t been a valid argument since the very first Post Launch Patch which changed anything about Enlisted.
It’s only been like that so far. :smile:

Possible correction LokalHero or…someone. I’m not sure I follow what this means…

Been in iT a long time, but this particular forum software is not in my immediate wheelhouse.

It’s more of a rant than a suggestion. It stays in the Mess Room. :slight_smile:

That’s your idea of what a “Daily reward” should be.

And that’s fine - you are entitled to it. But you are not entitled to have everyone sharing it.

And in some jurisdiction it is just fine - oh, look, that “jurisdiction” is the one we’re playing in.

Get over it.
