It’s displaying the daileys based on your system time, but the server actually hands out credit for completing them. So you need to your system time to the correct time. (It’s probably set for the wrong date.)

So.. what kind of operation do you all got going on? Computer time and date effect dailies? Really? Seriously? LOL!

The dailies change each day and are on a set cycle. My guess is that they’ve loaded the entire SET for the WEEK into the client already, so they don’t have to manually update the achievements each day. Messing with your system clock (which is what your client uses to display the time) probably confuses the client into displaying the WRONG dailies. You can’t progress those dailies because the server has its own clock and know to give achievements based on that clock.

I think what he meant by what he said is that it’s bad software engineering practice, especially in an online game, to base anything off of the client clock (which you can’t trust). It’s like the old trial based apps back in the day using the client’s datetime for calculating expiration, you could just roll your clock back to avoid paying. Luckily they (Anet) at least calculate objective completion server-side.
