While everyone else is on the Strongbox hate-train I would like to say that the Daily Missions are one of the best things ever happened in DUST. Although the missions themselves could be a bit more challanging (earning 399 WP in a battle isn't an achievment at all) and the variety is a bit weak, they do what they need to do... encouraging people into different things.
And rewarding them, oh the rewards are awesome!
Since 1.10 went live I hacked more objectives and drove more vehicles than in the last 2 years. I liked to be that guy who cleared the field for my team, set up a small camp to provide AV support. Now I like to run around in a speedhacking (lol this term sounds bad in an FPS) scout, dropping uplinks, etc.
Keep this feature alive and improve it because despite it isn't a huge thing it was a game changer for me.
Yes, I'm that desperate...

The daily missions are not really meant for us veterans directly. They are meant to reward people who are not AFK and to train newbies in different aspects of the game. The only issue I see with them is the number of strong boxes given as rewards in the missions. Offering up a prize that most people will see as useless demeans their ultimate goal.

I think it's nice too and it gives an goal to your fights which is good. Only problem is that they put many missions that needs AUR to be completed and it sucks. Also the "do 19 kill assists in a vehicle" ones... |

Typical unhelpful forum comment.
We are merely stating that while the missions are a pretty cool feature, they certainly have room to become something better. Better missions, bigger challenges etc....

I like it. I used to play to cap out every week. Now with the daily missions & high cap my motivation is to clear as many missins as possible (I'm not spending aur on instant boosters, sorry). If the missions are lame I switch to a different charactor to see what missions they have.
Just wish keys were more abundant in drops & rewards were not aur based gear. I have recieved 5 keys so far, 1 from missions & 4 from salvage. At this rate, I should have about 500 boxes before i get my 10th key.
I hate equipping aur gear. Once i was playing with the free bolt pistols from the newsletter & accidentally restocked my fit, paying out aur for basic bolt pistols.
Fool me once, CCP. Otherwise, it's been pretty damn sweet.

Mission difficulty should be based on lifetime WP, in my opinion. This way, new players get easy missions, while seasoned players get more difficult. But reduce AUR missions to a minimum (not increasing 5 instant booster missions just because you're a vet, etc). |

Fully agree. The missions are great! I would love to see more variety like you say, encourage people to really branch out.
The prizes are awesome too! Great way to make a few quick bucks.
I'm still not sure what U think about the strongboxes... I like the idea, but the only thing I don't like is that it seems like we're going to accumulate an insane amount that we'll never be able to open.
Maybe make them a lot more rare but drastically increase the rewards inside?
Still on the fence

I think that mission's description is wrong because you can achieve those kill assists with your own vehicles.

Needs more variety, but yeah, a great addition. Well, except for when you have to complete all ten to get a key or some such (especially when there's one or more with AUR requirements). I *did* get FIFTY Quafe Assault ck.0s for completing just three the other day, though. If trading ever gets here, my Cal character will be fly as hell.
Reality is the original Rorschach.
Verily! So much for all that.
