Escalated Daily Challenges

[Floerkleed]

Hello everyone!

I've been playing on Cube for a long time now, and I came across something yesterday. I think that the daily challenges need some change, and by that, I mean daily challenges for each game mode. At the moment, you can click on your profile, click on the diamond and see the easy, medium, and hard daily challenges. But I want to change this into something a little more extensive.

It will look like this:

You can pick:
-Skywars (Team and solo combined)
-Eggwars (Team and solo combined)
-Tower Defence
- Parkour
- Blockwars
- Among Slimes (if possible)
- Lucky Islands (Team and solo combined)
- Minerware
- PVP (FFA and Duels (and maybe Assassination) combined)
- This one is not in the picture, but it's suggested by @99th_DutchScary . There is also an option to randomise the challenges, so that you'll get completely random challenges for different game modes.

You'll get this menu when you open your challenges by clicking on the diamond. Then, there are multiple options, listed above. You can pick only one of those game modes, not all of them. I will explain later in this thread why I don't want this to happen. If you've chosen your game mode, you'll get the challenges for that particular game mode. If you've chosen Skywars, for example, you'll get easy, medium, and hard challenges for that game mode, solo, and team. The rewards will vary, I myself was thinking about experience and loot points. If you've completed all of the daily challenges of that game mode, you'll receive a cubelet or more of them. Suggestions about the reward system are welcome. :)

I will explain it a bit more. I think it will be a lot better if every game mode had its own daily challenges. That's because you will have suitable challenges in the game mode that you like the most. It also will motivate people to play that game mode more often, because now you'll have a goal to achieve with these daily challenges. I think that is a lot more fun! And I think that this feature will solve another problem as well. This will solve the fact that people leave the game after they've completed the daily challenge. Let me give you an example: You are playing Tower Defence because it is a fun game and you love it. Other people join the game as well. One of the daily challenges of that day is to send 40 monsters in Tower Defence. Then, the game starts. You do your best to defend your tower, but two of your teammates leave because they've sent 40 monsters already and don't have a purpose anymore in that game. I really do think that this feature will solve this problem: Teammates leaving because they've completed the daily challenge. That's why I don't want people to pick more challenges for multiple game modes. It will lead to this behavior again.

Some of you might say, why not fix it by that you will no longer pass the challenge if you leave the game on purpose. Well, it will hold players back from playing the game, because it will take much longer for them to complete the daily challenges, and what is the purpose of the daily challenges then? It is supposed to be fun, so that's why I'm making this thread :D.

Suggestions or adjustments are always welcome of course.

Let me know what you think of this feature :)

It would be much more enjoyable! I indeed don’t do the challenges because of the (in my opinion) more boring game modes.

Choosing my own challenges would be nice. :D

 

[Slovy]

I really like this suggestion, I don't play most of the gamemodes that come up daily so I can't gain anything with it.
I would love to see it if I can just choose the challenges that I wanna do on my favourite gamemodes.
And about the rewards, Experience, Cubelets & Points are most common of getting.
Maybe make it possible to add a ''daily challenge streak'' or something like that so you can gain loot like shields, win effects, trails or anything like that?

Anyways love the idea!

I play the challenges because of the variation in gamemodes. I come online, check the challenges and that's what I'm playing the next few hours. So I like it the way it is now.
Something they should add, if this feature is added or not, is new challenges. So there will be even more variation. And they can also add challenges for Among slimes and Assassinations, as these gamemodes do not have challenges yet.

Yea, but you can still play those gamemode's. It doesn’t really change anything.

The variation might be great, but a lot of people don't do the daily challenges because of it. And it can still vary if you play something else the next day. And it's only challenges, you can still play the other game modes, but the challenges are more focused on what you like the most. :)

Ok so first of all, my opinion is just no

There are too many things wrong with this in my eyes.
I do agree that the daily challenges should be with every gamemode. They have done this, but gamemodes got added/removed, so it's outdated. I don't know if adding parkour is good? Also among slimes? Really? That game is supposed to be fun, and they didn't add a leaderboard as well. They should add blockwars, and featured games to daily challenge.

How are you going to fit one gamemode in 3 challenges? For example skywars. You said you can only choose one. Normally it takes me 60-90-120 minutes to finish challenges. I don't leave when I'm done in-game either. If you can only choose one, you have to fill up easy, medium and hard with one game. That's impossible with minerware, and others.

You already have a goal in the daily challenges too. Don't understand what you exactly mean by that. And the daily challenges theirselves already give the player variation. The daily challenges right now motivate the player more to play games they never play. Adding one game is just for people who only play eggwars, which should not be for them. You should get rewards because you try every gamemode.

And about the tower defence leaving players, that's probably not always the case. It is a long time consuming game, of course people will leave. It happens in blockwars too, where there are no challenges. This is not a solution, because people will still want to finish challenges asap.

edit: thinking about it more, it would be unbalanced for 1 gamemode. People with skywars are done within 30minutes, while towerdefence can takes multiple hours

From 2 years of experience, this is just a no

Only thing I agree with is adding more games, like assasinations I saw, among slimes (probably not), blockwars, featured games, and overall more challenges for gamemodes.

 

[Mats3209]

Yea, but you can still play those gamemode's. It doesn’t really change anything.

It adds more player motivation, it's fun to try new minigames while completing challenges.

 

[99th_DutchScary]

Yea, but you can still play those gamemode's. It doesn’t really change anything.

It does change actually, I have to choose one gamemode to do instead of playing one or two games of every gamemode. So there'll be less variation in playing challenges. If you want to play all the challenges, you need the whole day. So that isn't really an option for me.

The variation might be great, but a lot of people don't do the daily challenges because of it. And it can still vary if you play something else the next day. And it's only challenges, you can still play the other game modes, but the challenges are more focused on what you like the most. :)

Maybe there are a lot of players that don't play for variation but there are also a lot that do play challenges for it. The challenges give me something to do while I'm on cubecraft, so I like it when I don't have to choose one gamemode for that day. If I want to play one gamemode, then I'll do some achievements instead of challenges.

 

[Quis]

Also among slimes?

There are already achievements, so why not?

How are you going to fit one gamemode in 3 challenges?

For example.
Skywars:

- Kill 4 players in one solo game
- Win a game of team skywars
- End top 5 or less in solos

I don't leave when I'm done in-game either.

That’s fine, but I noticed a lot of people do. It’s about players in general.

If you can only choose one, you have to fill up easy, medium and hard with one game. That's impossible with minerware, and others.

Easy, medium and hard won’t be a thing anymore. Just challenges.

The daily challenges right now motivate the player more to play games they never play. Adding one game is just for people who only play eggwars, which should not be for them. You should get rewards because you try every gamemode.

This is not relevant. You can just choose another game mode the next day. And if you want to try another game mode. Just do it. You don’t need challanges for that.

And about the tower defence leaving players, that's probably not always the case. It is a long time consuming game, of course people will leave. It happens in blockwars too, where there are no challenges. This is not a solution, because people will still want to finish challenges asap.

It doesn’t happen that much, but when it happens, it’s pretty annoying.

From 2 years of experience, this is just a no

From 6 years experience it’s a yes for me!

Only thing I agree with is adding more games

I can agree on this.

It adds more player motivation, it's fun to try new minigames while completing challenges.

It really doesn’t. When I see solo eggwars or tower defence listed in my challenges, I immediately lose interest.

 

[Floerkleed]

So there'll be less variation in playing challenges. If you want to play all the challenges, you need the whole day. So that isn't really an option for me.

Would it be better if you can pick three challenges by yourself? Two for skywars and one for eggwars for example (if that's possible).

 

[99th_DutchScary]

Yeah, that sounds good. I was thinking, maybe you could add another option, for challenges with random gamemodes. So you don't have to choose yourself, for the players that are interested in that.

 

[xHappyMood]

Meh I think one of the fun parts of the daily challenges is that you play gamemodes you wouldn’t usually play, and maybe even discover you really like them! Like this you’d just keep stuck in your one gamemode and never play anything else. And I fear that this will still not solve the problem of people leaving. Let’s take an example: You do an eggwars challenge and it tells you to kill a certain amount of eggs. If you play a lot of eggwars you probably know which maps are good for killing eggs, but you might not like the map. If you try to get this challenge you might join that map and as soon as you completed the challenge still leave cuz you actually don’t like the map.

For the rest, I think this is a really well thought out suggestion and I can see that you put work in it. I wish I could agree, but sadly I don’t :(

That is a wonderful idea! That way, everyone will be happy! :D. I'll give you credits!

 

[Mats3209]

There are already achievements, so why not?

yeah, it's a kind of weird situation, since there isn't a leaderboard, but I don't have much against it

For example.
Skywars:

- Kill 4 players in one solo game
- Win a game of team skywars
- End top 5 or less in solos

Could be something, but you could finish in 2/3 games (if its not solo/team) and you would be done within 30 minutes.

That’s fine, but I noticed a lot of people do. It’s about players in general.

I know its about general players, but I don't think all the players leaving in td are from challenges.

Easy, medium and hard won’t be a thing anymore. Just challenges.

Sorry, misunderstood that, I really read it as that. It would still take too less time to complete..

This is not relevant. You can just choose another game mode the next day. And if you want to try another game mode. Just do it. You don’t need challanges for that.

True, but as a eggwars player, you would likely not try tower defence or minerware.. Daily challenge obligate you to play certain gamemodes.. You do have the choice to try new gamemodes, but you aren't forced to. Some players just don't try new things (totally fine) but with the current challenges, you bring those people more out of their main gamemode

It doesn’t happen that much, but when it happens, it’s pretty annoying.

It happens sometime, but not always for challenges right? Ik its annoying, and there needs to be a solution, but this may solve at max half of the leaving players. As I said, it happens everywhere..
I do agree this needs to be fixed, but this won't solve things.

From 6 years experience it’s a yes for me!

I meant 2 years of doing daily challenge everyday.

It really doesn’t. When I see solo eggwars or tower defence listed in my challenges, I immediately lose interest.

Ok, then it is more personal. Some people (like me) started to do it for the huge amounts of cubelets. Then you get out of your main game.. Some players (like you) lose interest, but others, want the cubelets and go do it. Adding one main gamemode for challenges will just be the same as just playing it.

Overall I agree it could be nice to have some challenges for the gamemodes theirselves to make it more fun to play, but please no. Please don't change how it is rn. It is pretty fun, and I would not like to see this change, but many added?

 

[Levi_the_pro]

Good idea I hate when I play 1.8 but for daily challenge have to play the not so very fun 1.9 game modes to even complete a challenge

 

[Floerkleed]

Could be something, but you could finish in 2/3 games (if its not solo/team) and you would be done within 30 minutes.

If the amount of challenges is a problem, why not suggest more challenges? Would that make it better? :)

 

[InkAsriel]

i'd love to see this! im personally not a pvp fan, but like TD from time to time. my motivation to play daily challenges is 0 because of them having pvp, and some of my friends feel the same about it.

 

[Mats3209]

If the amount of challenges is a problem, why not suggest more challenges? Would that make it better? :)

Maybe, but I don't really know how you would have more challenges of just one gamemode. Making it so you have to win could be a option but quite boring. That's why I like the challenges as of right now
I just really enjoy the varation and the mix. I really don't want to see this removed.
