Ok I can see this daily maybe torturous (due to waiting in anticipation of getting some smexy weapons), but when exactly is the reset for the daily? Midnight? Or when you do the quest?
There is nothing wrong with it... what needs to be fixed?
If its 24hrs from when you handed it in then technically its not daily, you'll have to miss days as the time you can do it keeps getting pushed later and later. For example, it takes me about an hour to do all 3 explorations for the quest, if I get the quest at 11.30pm and finish at 12.30am, then I can't get the quest again until 12.30am the next day, missing a whole day (I know its nitpicking but its still annoying)

Pretty much what I was afraid of. I started late so I know in a day or two it'll be like 1-2 am. I'm not sure what Cryptic has in mind but I don't think they thought this one through.
This system is definitely unfriendly to people with RL "issues" like rotating work schedules or limited playtime. If you have different work shifts on different days, you could end up missing two or maybe even three dailies a week (I don't have this problem, but there are people out there who do...). And if you only get to play an hour or three a day, trying to arrange your life so those couple hours happen in just the right window to hit your dailies without wasting time is a huge pain.
Also, as mentioned above, this means your daily time is going to advance an hour or so each day until you miss a day. So even if you can play as much as you want whenever you want, your schedule is going to get all screwed up because your daily time will keep changing.
Cryptiiiiiiiiic.... just let us do these missions once per day instead of 24 hours between. At the very least, change it to 22 or 23 hours so we can try to start the mission at the same time every day.
I was wondering if it was on a 24h schedule. Guess that answers it.
I would agree with some posters that having it reset at a particular time would be ideal. Granted, the cutoff time for a "day" varies from region to region, but having a stable, set time would be much easier to manage. WoW resets early morning U.S. time (not sure if it's the same on their European and Asian servers, or if it's adjusted for local time zones), and FFXI resets around midnight Japanese time.
Personally, midnight PST (Cryptic's time zone) would be consistent with their update history. Or even 3AM to be consistent with their maintenance cycles. I think anything would be helpful as long as its set and we know when it will be.
Well of course a fixed reset time is the only way to go. That way, everyone has the same chance of doing 1 mision per period of 24h exactly. How could they even do it otherwise?
Id support a fixed time, midnight or something, atm my time will be about 10pm soon it will be too late to do it and ill have to miss it out till tea time the next day.

Just my opinion of course.
