Could we make daily assignments only for areas, that the wizard currently has access to?

I love that the challenges grow according to which areas the wizard has unlocked and finished, but I think it would be even better if they limited it to areas that we can currently use, incase we don't have membership at the moment.

The game is designed in a way that there's still so much to do if somebody doesn't have it, like fishing in castles, gardening, petmaking and such. I think it would be nice if daily assignments would be the same way.

Not saying it should exclusively be limited to the free areas in Wizard City, but atleast the ones that an account has bought with crowns. I've got plenty of those, and it's a pain when I can't do the assignment because I happen to not have that area permanently bought yet.

Sounds like a great idea (Bought Wizard City-Empyrea). However, I feel that it would involve so much work that it would ultimately introduce numerous bugs into the system.

As we all know, every update KI brings into the game also adds new bugs that affect old, current, or newly added systems.

I am sure they can somehow tie it to the system that recognizes which areas are unlocked, but it could, idk, create an issue where you would face the paywall once more, which can later turn into a bigger issue of every bought area being changed to inaccessible.

Yeah, I though it might have been abit too much of an "Utopia" idea😅 I feel like they've got enough bugs to deal with already, if something like what you mentioned would happen, it could be a quite big problem. Oh well, maybe it's better it stays like it is then, wouldn't want to inconvenience the players even more

Where are you getting assigned that you don't have access to? Unless they finally remembered to remove the temporary free status on everything up to oasis that they did for the selenopolis release, the only place in wizard city it would assign in a paid zone is colossus (and crab alley if you have cleared marleybone), but colossus is required to unlock daily assignments in the first place and they only progress to further worlds when you clear those worlds.

That's the thing, I did clear them all lol, I'm in Arc 3. And I have the entire Wizard City bought, and alot of other areas. I mean it that if you don't have membership, they ask you to go to areas you unlocked, but haven't bought yet, so you can't go.

I know that the solution is to simply have membership when you intend to do daily assignments. But when I know I'm gonna be busy, I obviously don't intend to buy if for the month, though I do take the 5 minutes of time to do the assignments on my low level wizard. Would be nice if I could for my higher ones too, without needing to keep buying areas.

But like the person before said, it would probably introduce alot of bugs, which I wouldn't want on the community.

I have always had membership, rarely do the Daily, and even so, encountered a significant number of assignments to areas that I did not yet have access to as part of the quest line.

THIS THIS THIS. Using periods of free membership, I've grinded all the way up to Mooshu on my highest-level wizard. However, even after the free membership has ended, the game is telling me to go do my daily assignments in places I physically cannot access (e.g. Grand Arena in the Krokosphinx), and as a person who sort of relies on daily assignment as one of two major sources of crowns, this is terrible. 😭 😭 😭

...Ok, after actually reading through this thread, I suppose I would agree that it might be best not to implement this idea. I feel like the potential bugging is a KingsIsle issue though.

It just...sucks.

I suppose bugs are always possible, but you do realize that you are asking KI to devote dev time and resources to adding a feature so that people who haven't paid for membership or for an area can play all of this event without paying for it. So basically the rest of us are subsidizing that development, getting nothing for it, so that you can play it without paying for it. Rather than the devs working on something else for players who actually pay for the entire game. I'm not sure why KI would prioritize this kind of work.

If doing dailies is important to you, I believe you can keep them in wizard city if you level lock before taking advantage of the free membership to quest areas you haven't paid for that you have temporary free access to. (I haven't tried this exact thing, but I do have a somewhat higher level wizard who I level locked and whose dailies correspond to her level, not her quest world.)
