Daily quest reset timer

1
Author Content Date
[Situation]
At the moment, the daily quest reset timer of 24 hours only kicks in when the quest is handed in.

Example.

Monday: I pick up my Shaman daily at 6pm, I complete it at 730pm and hand in

Tuesday:I cannot pick up the daily until 730pm, if I pick it up at that time, I will have to play until around 9pm to hand in. (assuming its taking me 90 mins to complete the daily)

Wednesday: I pick it up at 9pm but don't finish it that day.

Thursday: I can complete this quest any time but I now cannot pick up Thursdays daily for this.

Friday: I can't pick it up until 24 hours has gone by.

-------

[Problem]
So it does two things to me.

a) It makes me play later and later until I inevitably can't complete a quest that day.
b) If I fail to hand in the daily for whatever reason, I'm still caught by the 24 hour "completion timer", making me lose a day of getting dailies.

-------

[Solution]
What would help and I think is done in other games is:

1) Mark the timer to start on quest acceptance and not completion
or
2) Make the time 18 or 20 hours, so there's an offset that helps slowpokes like me

Don't know what others think?

+1 also could respec scroll price be lowered for dsoma. Would like to try out some different builds for tov but with them costing 6 dailies its impossible.

I re-explained my original suggestion so its much more readable :D.

I don't know about respec costs but I imagine theres a lot worth tweaking in devil soma for ToV for finding an optimal setup, doesn't seem a bad idea.

Oh, if this is happening then it is a bug, daily quests are supposed to all reset at the same time every day which is 6am UTC.

I've had a look but don't know how it happens yet. Any extra info would be useful from what I can see you will be able to pickup quests again after the 6am UTC reset.

Thanks Finito, maybe I've misunderstood quest hand ins, now you've said that, I'll test it out tomorrow, I've handed in a troll daily about an hour ago, see if its accessibly in the morning.
