I have mixed feelings.
On the plus side, At this point, I’m glad to have something to do. I view them as a daily mission generator and most of the time try to play them as intended without cheesing. If I’m short on time, I’ll cheese a challenge. It’s ok if I can’t complete some challenges and I play on Extreme difficulty now anyway, so that requirement is no problem. The rewards are very reasonable.
On the negative side, I don’t likechallenges where the only viable option is to sync shot the whole place. That’s not fun, and it’s actually not challenging at all. I prefer to be more actively involved. Where I can, I will complete as mich of the mission as possible conventionally and fail, then reset by flying over the deployment safehouse before finishing the mission.
My wish would be that every day takes place in one province or region to minimize the jarring fast travel all over the map. It would nice if it could pick two mission challenges from the same area and one generic challenge that the player could then try to do in the same area. And as mentioned above, challenges that allow me to be actively involved without having to rely on sync shot would be great.

Just look back a little, remember when you have to do the challenges and you have 7 days and the reward was a patch, a paint camo and some other useless thing (sometimes the reward was a repeated item) then you have to wait a week for the next challenge to come up, people complain about it, then they change it introducing the prestige stuff, now some missions were every 2 weeks, some were a week some were easy some were difficult and for that fellas with few task members, impossible (for task force challenge) and still people complain about it, then they change it again, these are challenges (challenging you) as in life you have to work hard to get what you want, nothing is free, unless people complain again to get the damn crates for free without doing the challenges,
I have fun with the challenges? yes, after all it is a game, if i can't complete the challenge today, well.... maybe next time.

I agree that some of the challenges are fun and some are not, but i keep wondering why the first challenge is always super simple and second and third are at extreme difficulty. Although the second is usually pretty easy, like today - deploy somewhere, go to mission area, don't be seen and complete mission. But the third one? Looooong mission where you can't be seen, can't kill anyone or can use only explosives, can't die, there's a radar jammer somewhere so drone is useless, don't raise alarms, etc.
I'd like the challenges sometimes to be simple but difficult, like killing an enemy by a headshot from 500m or longer, complete a mission without CQC and without suppressors (and crossbow) or kill predator with the jackdaw pistol. You know? Something that is difficult but doesn't take 6 hours from my life.

i just look at the challenges and think how long is going to take me to complete it, second question is, is worth to waste that much time playing for 400 credits? YES- Do it, NO- go have fun with friends or doing something else, people is too worried about the credits and they forget to have funOriginally Posted by SmashTag79 Go to original post

Sorry, I don’t know how to make the link work here from the Ubisoft site. Thought it’d be like any other website & copy paste, lame.
As per the OP & getting back on topic.
I don’t mind the daily challenges in general though at times that third solo can be a pain with the restrictions Ubisoft applies.
What I do mind, are the task force challenges where we have done the exact same requested challenge only a few days earlier.
Ubisoft really needs to mix it up some more & “STOP” with needing 3 members or more to complete the challenge. Getting two TF members is fine but trying to find 3-4 on a daily challenge is challenging enough!

Killing Predator I find hard. Yes I know that the hand does it all the time, but for us normal humans that one is hard. Tactics, stealth ect don't really help you there.Originally Posted by BIG_BOSS_S. Go to original post
El Sueno with just a pistol and no dying was difficult. Having opted out of that challenge in the past it took me some time to figure out how to do it.
Both on the same day was a drag. That was the only day I didn't have a whole lot of fun doing the challenges.

man the hand is good mad props for doing it with no teammates
mine was 23rd December 2017
the hand did there's 3rd September 2018
honestly I'd say I'm a bit of a freak when it comes to this stuff so I haven't had a real challenge so far
the only one I had to retry was the operation archangel (got caught in the open like a moron that was my bad)
way harder than predator cause with teammates you get two revives where as you go down once and it's play through the missions again
predator solo Is no easy feat and the hand breezes through it so that's some mad skill
the only thing that's given me extreme frustration was operation watchman in tier mode that firefight is brutal
still have to beat guerrilla mode seems to be the hardest thing right now while tier mode ghost mode seems tedious which is it's own kind of challenge
I can see why the predator and operation archangel without dying was too much for most and wouldn't mind never seeing those pop up again

I've never said that i'm unable to complete these challenges or that i don't think them methodically, strategically and tactically. I pretty much always take the slow approach on missions, challenges, etc. And as you can see, i mentioned that the second and third mission are always at extreme game difficulty, not actually being extremely difficult (although long and tedious). What i'm trying to say is that last two daily challenges always go with the same formula - do a sneaking mission without killing/using explosives and don't be seen. That's pretty much it. Simple - yeah. Boring - Yeah! Whole point of daily challenges is to get some extra rewards, but they always choose the same old missions with some little differences - like we already haven't played the campaign with tons of different approaches. They should make the challenges new and different - out of the box thinking. Not "kidnap this guy and bring him here - like the last 15 guys".Originally Posted by BIG_BOSS_S. Go to original post
