Cherish Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 So today I got the outfit from the Daily Dash and I was super happy until I read **You have completed the daily dash** so for the next 17 days no daily dash for me. Why were Premium members given an extra spin as an incentive when it is just not needed? Its a Premium perk that is a waste of space sadly. One of my daily enjoyments was when I saw that little sign flash up **Daily Dash is now available**. I would have thought Daily Dash would have been an incentive to get people who are bordering on leaving the game to login each day just to do their spins.

Rincewind Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Well, you don't have to worry if you don't play for a few days, you can get the prize anyways. That's a big plus in my book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anjuna88 Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Agreed, feels wasteful. I guess you get the costume a couple days earlier than others but hanging out for half a month not doing it sucks. At least let us start over and grab some of those items again along the way.

2501 Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 For reference (average values of spins), it takes 16 days with non-premium account. ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retsopmi Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 No the OP doesn't have a point. The perk is that technically, assuming all rolls are equal, premium people could play half the time and still get the reward. As with any game that gives time based rewards, getting it sooner is a bonus because A: you get to use it before others and B: less worry about missing chances. Daily dash is an incentive to get non paying customers into the game so that they can be presented with more chances to spend money. If you have premium, then by default, you've already made yourself less valuable to them as a company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spinning the wheel is addicing, we want to do it all the time, stop raining on our parade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boscodash Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 so that premium members can miss certain days ie work, school etc and still get the costume Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retsopmi Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Non premium only takes half a month if you no life the game. Myself, I get 1 to 2 rolls a day. So yes, it will take longer than half a month, and chances are I will miss out simply because I won't log in every day for something as silly as a spin. Non of which changes the fact that it's still a quality perk for premium and serves its purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2501 Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Question: Does daily dash timer reset, and start a new dash when you reach 100? Or do you have to wait for the time to expire? If it's the former, then you technically receive +33% rewards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or do you have to wait for the time to expire? It's a board on a fixed timer. if you reach the end, then you have to wait for the next board to start. Much like the login bonuses for mobile games.

The daily dash is simply an optional event you get a as a side bonus for logging in daily and staying logged in. They finished it in half the time, big deal, some people are still going. The only issue I have with Daily Dash is premium subs are now only getting 3 spins per day where it was originally 5. Apart from that, I have no issue with it.

Rief Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Returning to square one for those that have finished would have been a better choice. But the current situation is not exactly pointless. there's a reward per se for those that finished earlier. You got the costume earlier. You have the bragging right.

Spiderbot Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Originally the dash didn't award you anything but the slots you SPECIFICALLY 'fell' on. Now you get everything on the slots you pass on. That's the explanation for the reduced number of spins. As for why subs get an additional spin when it's 'not needed' it's...well, because it's RNG. You could have rolled pure 1s, or a combination of numbers that would have meant you never reach the last reward. Consider this: To get to the outfit, you need to advance an average of about 3.4 slots per day. Subscribers get an extra spin per day, meaning they will advance for sure, always, at least 3 slots per day (assuming they play the 2 hours required to get all of them). This means that you have to be incredibly unlucky to not reach the last reward. Unlike free-players, who just have to be unlucky. It also means you can actually afford to miss more spins per month. It is still perfectly possible to not reach the last reward before the reset, mind. But it should be quite rare if you play every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadeswilla Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 I got still 50 steps more to go lol and with 2 spins a day ill easily make it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellz Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 OP's point is perfectly valid. Once you complete a rotation you should have the board reset. The wheel is hardly a game breaker so it wouldn't do any harm. I loved spinning that wheel :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fluffybadger Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 This did indeed make me feel like my time spinning the wheel was a waste. there is a 100 steps and even is a non-premium if I roll a 2 and 1 every day I would still get to the end. So for me not to be able to start over is indeed a huge disappointment, as a premium I do get the stuff faster but to be honest I would rather have my two spins then and not have to wait two weeks in order to spin again. I really hope this gets changed to next month. I really see no reason for myself to have the 3 spins now. Non at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitah Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 I agree with OP. It seems a bit silly to be able to get to the end and still wait. We should be able to spin and get random items or nothing on a another type of wheel while we wait for this one to end atleast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maaha Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Second lap does sound better idea than a new daily dash board to me, I mean if you finish it before the number of days end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
