MMORPG: Okay now for: Daily achievements! I’ve been doing the new dailies, well… daily, whenever I login. But I’ve really been looking forward to this system. Can you explain how it’ll work?
COLIN: The new system will allow players to specifically pick from the list of daily achievements and complete the achievements they’re most interested in to earn their daily reward. We haven’t finalized the number, but it’ll be something like “do 5 out of 9 on the list to earn your reward.” If you decide you want to do more achievements from the list, for each additional achievement you do past the fifth, you’d also earn some bonus achievement points for your account. This is totally optional though.
MMORPG: Will there be more choices now than what we’ve seen cycled so far? Are there going to be dailies that direct us to certain zones or areas too?
COLIN: Absolutely! This new choice system comes with two benefits:
First, it allows us to add much more specific achievements to the rotating daily lists of options. We could ask you to go score 5 goals in keg brawl or complete 3 jumping puzzles as one of the achievement reward categories, since they are now optional, rather than mandatory.
Second, it allows us to send people to specific parts of the world and ask them to do things there, where before we could not do that because they might not be high enough level to complete that specific achievement. We could ask you to kill bosses in Fireheart Rise, or hunt down frogs in Sparkfly Fen if we wanted to in order to help drive stronger player participation in the open world and further strengthen the living world experience. (Don’t worry, we won’t do the frog thing!)
You’ll see new selectable achievements in our late February release, and we’ll continue to add new types and options down the road as the game expands and grows. It’s likely rather than having a unique rotation each day of the week; we’ll expand to have a unique rotation every day of the month to provide even more variety and a more diverse gaming experience. Of course, some achievements will be on the list multiple times over the course of the month.
