I got this daily challenge today:
Complete a FunTrivia Challenge that results in a mini-badge or a badge being won.

I got a badge upgrade in Who Am I but it didn't fulfill this daily challenge. Will upgrades count towards the challenge at some point in the future or will it always be a completely new badge that's needed?

It requires a new badge/badgelet. Upgrades work quite differently from new awards; it can't check for those at the moment. Not sure if that will change.

Ok, thanks.

On a semi related note Acrylic..when I was around the same level as you I got the bright idea to get close to badges but purposely not claim one so as to save it for a day when I drew that daily challenge. Well I got frustrated because, that challenge didnt come up for months, whereas it had been...not quite common before, but fairly regular.

Much later I found out that there is a mercy clause where that challenge drops out of eligibility after you hit a certain point..I think level 100.

Long story short...dont do as I did

It would be a wonderful thing if it did change, certainly.

I could see it as a separate challenge - earn an upgrade tier to a badge you already own - but I fear this would actually not lead to good gameplay, with players sitting on an almost ready upgrade instead of completing it just to be able to claim that daily if it comes up.

As far as Wesley's concern, I think it would depend on which type of upgrade. An upgrade for moving from completing 349 to 350 quiz lists, yes. An upgrade from lowering your time in Piece of Cake from 16.1 seconds to 16.0 seconds, not as likely.

You obviously can't really "hold" an upgrade that is based on a single performance - I was worried about the ones that you collect. Having them on the daily challenges could lead to players avoiding specific activities for a significant time instead of working on the next level.

Since, in the long run for most players, the persistence upgrades will be the majority (you can pretty quickly approach your current level of skill but it's very hard to beat your top performance), I fear that a daily challenge based on achieving upgrades would not yield a good experience.

Got this Difficult challenge today and query if now Obscurity is a 2 hourly game and Fill Me in is a four hour game if they should still be included in this challenge. I did manage to complete it, but some with limited time to play may have difficulties.

CHALLENGE WAS =

Participate in 7 different types of hourly games today, scoring at least 6 correct in each game. Quiz of the hour counts as one.

I asked a similar question a few hours ago in another thread, Mr Marney. That's a coincidence for you. Obviously great minds DO think alike

I refer you Pat to my comment on my profile.

I am so clever that sometimes I don't understand a single word of what I am saying.

Nice to hear from you anyway.

The requirement *has* been lowered. It used to be that you had to do all 8 'hourly' games.

Don't forget that getting 6 right in FMI got a lot easier now that it's a 15-question game
