New Daily rewards bug
ArenaNet Alpha Team
Hey Ysabeau. This is most likely intentional, as explained in today’s patch notes:
12/16/14 – December 16 Release Notes
New Log-in Reward System
…
- Players logged in after 4:00 p.m. PDT on December 15 will receive their first daily log-in reward chest after 4:00 p.m. PDT on December 16.
- Players last logged out before 4:00 p.m. PDT on December 15 will receive their first daily log-in reward chest immediately after the update.
- For more information, please see this blog post.
…
Anyone who logged in after 4:00 PM PDT before today’s patch will not receive the login screen until today’s daily rollover. This is most likely the case if you were online at any point last night!
Now, if you do not receive the opening dialogue after today’s daily rollover, then please let us know!
Happy Wintersday!
Thank you for european players. And can we know why such a restriction ?
Worse is we, the EU players, are now a day behind on the daily login rewards. Kinda silly to go out of your way coding it like this for what? Not giving people 2 daily rewards? But you do allow us to do the regular (new) dailies and get those rewards. Makes no sense.
Again an example of the worst problem Anet has: inconsistency in everything they do.
I would understand if I couldn’t do the daily achievements having done the ones previous to the update. But that I cannot get the Daily reward for logging in when I have logged in I cannot. (sigh)
So people that have logged in during the past 24 hours, give or take, don’t get the daily login reward? Effectively putting us one day behind other players… Or do all the players that got the reward today not get it again tomorrow? Because then it would make sense.
This doesn’t affect only EU players. Anyone that logged into the game after 00:00 UTC, whether in NA or EU or anywhere else gets the first Daily Log-In Reward after reset.
Let’s say you logged in 3 hours before yesterday’s Daily reset, played for 2 hours, and logged out. You would not be able to do yesterday’s Daily if you logged back in after the patch dropped today, because it is gone. So, the game gives you a Daily Log-In reward.
Let’s say you logged in yesterday 3 hours before patch, stayed on through Daily reset, and then completed yesterday’s Daily, and logged out. If you logged in today after the patch (but before reset, and automatically got the new Daily Log-In reward), you would be rewarded twice for yesterday’s Daily.
So, to prevent some people from being rewarded twice, anyone who logged in after reset yesterday must wait until reset today (patch day) to be rewarded. Those that logged in after yesterday’s reset, but failed to do their Daily, will miss out, but it would probably take a lot to code something that checked each account to see how many tasks that account completed on yesterday’s Daily, and then award the remaining (if any) Achievement Points/Rewards.
I imagine we will know more about who gets what, when, after a couple of Daily resets.

yea but this now means we’re a day behind with rewards, how is that fair ? T _ T
they get 2 when I logged in BEFORE they did and I get 1 ? It’s like punishing us for being active
Ok, so not only did I not get my log-in reward because I played at some point yesterday I have logged in after the reset and did not receive it I am now 2 days behind everyone else because I happen to enjoy playing the game and have been logged in. In my opinion you guys need to do some thing about this because I can understand the pre-reset coding being a lot of work but I am not receiving my rewards after the reset and it is very frustrating.
Odd…I got mine Daily Log-In reward as soon as reset happened. A new icon appeared in the lower right corner, and a new calendar appeared when opened. You don’t actually get the reward, though, until you click ‘OK’ from the Daily tasks window. Didn’t have to log out and back in or anything. You might try moving in or out of the Mists, just in case.
If you continue to have issues with getting the Daily Log-In reward, you can contact the CS Team for assistance.

2 mystic coins dude… The reward is not the point, the problem is that now we have one day behind the other. We are active player but we don’t get our daily Log-in reward, and the worst part of it is that it’s not a bug, it’s purely intentional.
Besides, if I wanted to, I could have farm AP daily twice yesterday, why ? If the problem was getting rewards twice, why could I farm these APs ?
And I don’t mind of the reward, I played yesterday so make it counts (even if you dont give me the 2 mystic coins…)
That’s not a big deal, but it just confirms the feeling I have that they just don’t care of former player, and they just don’t know what to do with this game now (insanely farming LS, lack of content, and here just screw dedicated players with absolutely no reason…) =(
And I know it affects everyone, thank you… It’s just that EU players were most enclined to play before the patch :/
So… what we need to know now from ArenaNet is are we all going to stay one day behind everyone else or are they going to fix it?
