Wonder if we have to log into each mode/league that we want missions for separately.

Standard, LUL

Its an important question, though. I wouldnt want to log into 3 leagues (lets say temp sc, temp ssf sc and perm sc) to get my missions every day.

So, at worst, it's "the same" (which wasnt bad to start with). But i'm going to bet, in practice, it's going to be better for a lot of people even if you dont feel that way right now.

If i only have an hour to play in a day, i do not have to spend the first 20 minutes making sure i do all the master missions. I can just map, and come back to those missions on another day when i have time. Or just bank up 4 alvas and do an ENTIRE TEMPLE start to finish.

ALSO, you're forgetting about the other change. Masters are not on a specific map anymore. If you have a red tier mission available, it can be on ANY red tier map you want. No more whack a mole hoping to have the exact correct map for your daily.

People who say its unchanged, want free cookies. But I guess they will wake up some day and realized the world doesnt work that way lol...

Every 1 is home every single day.....the very VERY rare people who have every week full days at which they are not at home....are so low, that GGG should in fact not care about those.....
Now if your at home everyday, but u cannot play every day, and ur 1 of those few people who want to play only 1 league specific like delve, how hard is it to invest less than 5 minutes of your day to put ur computer on, log in, and put it off again?

If you dont want to do that, than having missed 1 or 2 days aweek for those daly, wont really bother you anyway

This is definitely good news!

One thing... companies use things like "you have to log in to get X,Y or Z daily" to boost their players count on services like Steam. It's a pretty obvious ploy.

So after they do this, there's going to be a valid concern that the numbers that we find are inflated.

I figured they'd make you log in to get them, otherwise we'd see people with 100 standard accounts just letting thousands of Nikos accumulate throughout entire leagues! Other than artificially boosting the player count it doesn't make GGG any money either, as nobody is going to buy MTX for booby accounts.

As other people have said I hope you don't have to log in to every specific mode on an account to get the counter to tick, because it would feel like an obligation to waste 30 seconds logging into standard every day even though I have no intention to play. You probably will have to though and there's nothing wrong with that.

Another way they could've done it is have it accumulate 2 random master missions per day automatically, but have it weighted so that Niko and Jun were more rare. That would piss off everyday players big time though.

This update will be good. Very few people have no ability to log in at all on a daily basis. We'll no longer have fully accurate player counts, but it should be close.

I swear I do not understand why people are griping about this.....it is a huge buff for most players. Do people really not have days where you pop in for 30 min to run the daily missions? I sure as heck do in the first month at least. Every day. Now my 30 min can be 30 seconds if I am really busy.

The way it was set up with only two missions was a complete failure. And people even bringing up Standard as an extra step they need to do every day? WTF?
