While I find the dailies quite enjoyable in general sometime the RNG poses outright ridiculous challenges for a modest reward or groups challenges together that really should not be grouped together.
Example 1: Today one of the challenges is to shoot 4 quails from more than 150 metres. That's a wasted daily. Quails are upland birds, tiny, tiny upland birds. I can't even have my dog flush them from that distance, so apparently I am supposed to spot a random dark pixel moving across the sky and shoot it from beyond the maximum zeroing distance of either rifle that's legal for them. 4 times. OR I lung shot 2 bears with 10 GA slugs for slightly less money. Based on the reward the challenge levels for these should be in the same ballpark, but actually they are not even on the same planet.
To add insult to injury, of the remaining dailies three were for xp, which for max level players equals no reward.
Example 2: On some days the majority of challenges is time limited, a condition that adds nothing but annoyance to the challenge anyway. So, the reward of at least one daily would go towards paying for the necessary time skips and that's the "challenge".
And once again, the problem is exacerbated by the fact that alternative dailies might offer no reward for max level players since the reward is in xp.
Suggestions:
- Include conditional sanity checks in the daily RNG. For example: block minimum distances if the chosen species is an upland bird or a rabbit. And organ checks are a bit of an RNG for class 1 animals as well while reward-wise the challenge generator seems to treat a heart shot of a rabbit like an easy heart shot of a moose, so those either need to go away for class 1 or they need some serious rebalancing of rewards.
- When a max level player completes a challenge and the reward is in xp the amount should be multiplied by 5(?) and converted to huntollars.
- Lose the time limits. They add nothing good.
