Since most games run battle pass to support their game and to keep peoples interest up in playing the game it would be nice with an free activity sheet since Ashes of Creation run monthly subscribtion and no p2w to keep people wanting to log in in long run like a carrot so to speak. Does not have to be something fancy just a thank you for playing kinda.
Avid gamer and charity streamer. looking forward to stream ashes of creation alpha two for my charity hobby.

nooooooo
Most players stop logging in as much to a game when they find it less enjoyable than other games. Most MMO developers monitor how often their population logs on, and use it as a metric (one of a few) to work out how well the game is going.
If people continue to log in to the game even when they aren't enjoying it as much, due to mechanics like what the OP is suggesting, then the developers don't see that drop in players logging on due to less enjoyable gameplay, and thus could be years behind in realizing they are going down the wrong path.
Something like a Season/Battle Pass ?
Because that would be bad, kinda. Everything that resembles a Shop or "payable Item to have something more", ends up being somewhat Soul-annihilating to the Game.
The only thing that You should "pay" - is the Monthly Subscription after buying the Game in general.
Everything else is part of what fxxxed over Retail WoW.
While i think the monthly Trading Post is nice, it is also a bit of FOMO as well.
We need the cool Experience like back then in Classic. The only thing that should matter ingame is Effort and Teamwork.
I like sparkles..... but also identify as
Also, these tasks provide opportunities and rewards for players who have less than 30 minutes to play.
Candy Crush is that way ——>
A lot has changed since then. Like the phenomenon of Endgame.
Also, as MMORPG players age past 25, many only have time for game sessions that are less than 30 minutes (and you can expect game devs over the age of 30 to empathize).
You can expect something similar to the APOC battle pass in Ashes.
Seems unlikely that IS will be pushing retention extremes, but... we'll see.
but then they cant log in and do whatever they want. they have to do the dailies...doing other things they want to do is also rewarding.
a lot has changed since then. remember those words dygz, they will come back to haunt you in another thread whenever you start talking about how mmorpg have deviated from what they originally were and how that isnt right,now things are worse, etc, etc, etc
Identifying youself thusly requires you to at least have the will to self evaluate honestly.
On the other hand, if someone else told you that this was the case, then hey, maybe.
does my wife count?
Well this depends.
If your wife is telling you that you are weak willed because you always agree that she is right, I'd wager that just makes you smart.
Edit; or scared.
umm...
are you offended in his behalf?
or maybe in the wife's behalf, who is never gonna read the joke.
you should go tell comedians not to say inappropriate things as well
Stop trying to take this to a personal level.
Not an appropriate thing to say regardless if you think of it as a joke and how others will read it. Not the place.
i dont have anything personal against anyone.
what is appropriate or inappropriate is subjective, and since we are in IS forums, they are the ones who decide, not you or me.
also, what's wrong with making a sandwich or cooking? There is nothing wrong with preparing a meal for your spouse. if anything, that's amazing.
anyways, we should go back to the topic and dailies 🙄
well, based on your reply it sounds like from your perspective it's ok to be racist on the forums too as long as it's a joke. What you perceive as funny in your thoughts or when you are with your friends as an example may not be perceived the same way as things typed on a public forums of a companies game/IP. Doesn't matter if they're your friend or not on here or if they are ok with it, the line you stepped over is not appropriate regardless.
I'm not going to engage this further.
Not the place.
A few points to note here.
A "joke" like the one you told (I wouldn't consider it a joke) is appropriate in a manner of speaking around close, like minded friends. On a public forum, it is not so much.
It isn't a case of if anyones wife reads the "joke" in question, it is a matter of the appropriateness of it.
As to your comments about commedians, if they came on here and made that joke, the same would apply to them. The reason it is acceptable for a comic like Jimmy Carr or Bill Burr to tell jokes like that is because people literally pay good money to them to specificlly hear them tell quality jokes of that manner - they go in expecting that kind of thing.
That isn't the case here, which is why it isn't appropriate.
Also, if I went to a comedy show and was presented with a "make me a sammich" joke, I'd probably ask for my money back purely for the lack of originality.
No does not have to be any game breaking stuff just some cosmetics
