Daily PvE Missions

Unknown

Sometimes between lightning rounds and other events, I find that there is too little to do in the game. I am just waiting for the next event or something, and can't really progress in the game at all, barring shield training which is no fun for anyone.

Simple things should be implemented to help with these 'down times'. One idea is loading up a random generic PVE map every day for some rewards. There could be 5 or 6 missions of increasing difficulty, and the last one could be one of those lvl 240 fights with a chance at decent rewards (one of 2* token, 500 iso, 50 hp etc). These missions are not bracketed or competitive and can only be done once a day and a new set arrives the next day.

Just some PvE fun when nothing else is really on.

Ooh; I'd love some daily PvE!

If it's not too wild, how about 7 dailies on a rotation - standard model being...
> 5 Missions per map, must be completed in sequence.
> 1st - 4th Missions are repeatable and primarily against generic foes.
-> 100 ISO first time completion.
-> Rewards: 100 ISO, 250 ISO, Standard Cover, boost appropriate to that day's map (usually a Target lock).
> 5th Mission being a boss fight that isn't repeatable.
-> First time completion bonus is the big reward for the map e.g. 50 HP, 500 ISO, 3 Standard Covers.
-> Rewards: 250 ISO.
> No character conversation screens, just flavour text on mission screens.
> No required characters, scores, league tables etc.

E.g. Maggia Monday
Environment: City.
Boost Reward: Maggia Target Lock.
1st Mission: 3 Thugs - Trouble on the streets.
2nd Mission: 2 Thugs, 1 Muscle - Asking questions.
3rd Mission: 1 Muscle (high level) - Maggia enforcer.
4th Mission: 2 Thugs, 1 Don - Taking on the boss?
5th Mission: 2 Muscle, The Hood - True crime-lord unmasked.
Big Reward: 500 ISO - The Hood has been running a black market in ISO.

However; maybe make one day extra special - possibly Sunday or just pick the quietest day for other events (Thursday I guess).
> 5 Missions on the map map, must be completed in sequence.
> 1st - 4th Missions are repeatable and are against supervillain foes.
-> 100 ISO first time completion.
-> Rewards: 100 ISO, 500 ISO, Standard Cover, boost appropriate to the map.
> 5th Mission being a boss fight that isn't repeatable.
-> First time completion bonus is an Heroic Cover.
-> Rewards: 500 ISO.
> As for other dailies, no conversation screens, league tables etc.

E.g. Day of Reckoning
Environment: City.
Boost Reward: Dark Avengers Target Lock (very desirable for PvE).
1st Mission: Soldier, Soldier, Bullseye.
2nd Mission: Pyro, Yelena Belova, Daken.
3rd Mission: Lieutenant, Venom, Moonstone.
4th Mission: Ragnorak (175?).
5th Mission: Ares (240?).

I put Ares last as he has superior powers and 3 colours, plus Ragnorak already got to be the PvE finale in the prologue.
Think it's better to have 1 lone super character to give newer players a chance, since Widow's Sting and Symbiote Snare lower the playing field a little.

I really like how you ironed out some of the details there TheVulture.

Yep I mean a map selected at random or on rotation from a pool of 'daily PvE maps'. I just want downtime to be at a minimum and for there to always be something to do, and I think there's not quite enough PvE in the game as the prologue is not repeatable. Best of all, I think the coding and infrastructure for this is more or less there, so it should be relatively easy to implement.

I think a special weekly PvE map on Sundays with elevated rewards sounds really cool. Keep the rewards flowing in and give us more interesting ways of spending them, like upgrading our bases etc.

Something like that would be cool indeed. If the boss fight involves a villain the reward could be one of his covers. Last mission could be locked util beatinf some previous one several times (i.e 3 of each lieutenants).

For even more fun there could be bans or nerfs on the most "popular" characters, so people needed to think up some new team to win. Maybe with some changing buffs on rarely used.

An idea like this would be a great place to drop in some dark avenger pve missions, which would be great because at the moment the last thing I want is another Daken Bullseye fight, because that isn't the list bit tedious. I'd rather get roflstomped by a level 240 Ares than face those two at level 30.
