Sightseeing...

Welp I'm glad I looked at the forums before attempting this lol, SE ya blew it.

Wait what? The unlock quest requires none of the weather/time restrictions and the game tells you exactly where to go on the map. But yea, the implementation for this log is very disappointing.

You guys really dropped the ball with this SE. Was a good idea, as even in Guild Wars 2 I loved this sort of thing and went out of my way to get them. But having a weather requirement? A day/night requirement would have been enough, since you have to wait like 24 minutes for an ingame day. But the weather? I've been sitting here in New Gridania for over an hour and a half, and it STILL hasn't turned cloudy.

Yep, weather requirements completely ruin this.

I'm not even sure how one is "supposed" to attempt these. Keep a list of the order of times and check them all in order for the right weather every day? Just keep trying one specific entry for weeks until you get it?

I was excited to try it out, but you have to wait for just the right time and atmosphere?

...yeah alright. Just like taking landscape pictures. I can dig it.

That's another problem I have with it actually. Even if you're close, you may never know it unless you look up a guide (which completely ruins the fun imo). I don't want them to clearly mark on the map where to go of course, but they could give us some indication that we're in the right place. Maybe if you do /lookout when you're near, a light ball (similar to the Destinations you get in some Levequests) can show in the right place for a few seconds, then you just need to figure out god knows what meaningless requirement they've attached to it.

SE, making casual/laid back content as annoying/grindy as possible, as usual. I don't see the fun of having to wait in the spot until the right time of the day when, even if you're lucky and get the proper weather while you wait, it might change JUST when you get the correct time (RNG for you). Someone very unlucky could be waiting there forever.

Pretty terrible, and I don't like it for what it is.

The weather change every 8 hours ingame time
00:00, 8:00 am, 4:00 pm, 00:00
Just look for the weather at this times. If the weather don't change to the needed weather, do something else for the next 8 ingame hours.

SE thinks the players don't AFK enough so they just add more AFK content for you to enjoy :D

Only if you have nothing to do for the next 8 ingame hours (around 25 minutes earth time)
