Cosmic Exploration Needs a Bit of Tuning

During my lunch break today I thought it would be fun to pop over to sinus ardorum to work on getting some glam stuff (and the emote that continues to elude me) finding it more or less empty aside from couple of people afk at the hub.
That's fine, I play alone anyway, but then I ran into an issue when the mech-ops popped up. I was the only one there doing ground support. didn't see anyone in mechs aside from the untargetable npcs, and in the entire span of the op I was barely able to make a dent in the progression.

As interest tapers off in favor of the newest content, the hardcore players focus on the next grind, and even the mid players finish their current stage of their relic we need to see more tuning to things so players who aren't done can still complete the world events or progress through without relying on other players to be there at that moment. (this isn't specific to just CE, i've noticed it with attempting to do older group reliant content like bozja and eureka since both zones are almost always empty when I go) A scaling system that takes into account how many are in the event zone, or something similar would be a great start, tuning things to take into account for shifting of interest and players who either started after the content was implemented or weren't able to get to it when it was at peak interest.

The patch notes for 7.3 did state some tuning, like doubling the time and increasing the progress per player for those missions. Check it again tuesday to see if they did a good job. :P

The odd thing is that the pilot side of mech ops seems to scale to the amount of players in the instance; the other day I was the only player in an instance and did a mech op as pilot, not only did I clear it easily, but it felt like I cleared it even faster than back when I would do them with a bunch of other players.

They are buffing the ability to complete it on the ground.

oh! I had seen about the timer update but didn't realize that it was including a progress buff too. I'll have to check it out again after the patch goes live! thank you for letting me know!
Hopefully it'll scale well, and maybe they'll think about similar updates for some of the older content too :D

Eureka already had a buff to it? You can solo most NMs. Do you have Logograms unlocked?

NM’s can really only be soloed with elemental gear

I might have had the Kirin's armor on, when i first did it (which tbh, if someone wants to go into eureka, it is an investment worth buying). but it has gone through nerfs already and is very approachable doing it solo.

I saw some of the rewards since coming back, I really need to jump on this!

Is it relatively easy to break into and get going?
