Help Sightseeing log bugged??

Ok this is ticking me off...I have one more Sight seeing log in ARR #44 and it seems to be bugged. We have went to south shroud with thunder storms (not thunder I know theres 2 different ones) When I do /lookout it targets me and dosen't count. My wife has the same issues. if u go to the spot 17,20 on the balcony and do /lookout I bet it looks at your self...Dose anyone has a fix for this??????

Not sure where to post this so put it here since help was in the title lol but its the only spot that /lookout targets yourself, we like to finish this Sightseeing log

Was it the right time of day?

yes correct time... but whats weird is its any time of day you go to that spot and do /lookout it will target you. i have yet to find any where else in the game it targets your self automaticly when doing /lookout.. i find my self now randonly doing /lookout as i'm walking around lol i even have it hot bared, i've done both the emote and the self typed /lookout

/lookout targeting you is normal at sightseeing log spots (which you haven't completed yet). The only reason I see for this not working would be if you missed any condition, be it time of the day or weather.

This website is a timer for ARR sightseeing logs, counting both time/weather - if you're not using it yet give it a try. If it still doesn't work, file a bug report.

Ok ill give it a try like i said this is the last sight seeing log we need for Arr (hw/sb done) so guess i can stop running around doing lookout randomly and looking like a dumb ***

ARR sightseeing log was kind of a pain at times because sometimes you'd have to wait up to a couple of days for a certain log spot to become available (unlike HW SB spots which are available at all times/weathers)... keeping track with that website is the easiest way I know of :) Hope it helps, good luck!

16 hours on the one i need lol

Something important to note, especially for this one which opens at 0800.

The weather changes at exactly 0000, 0800, and 1600, regardless of how long it takes for the icon and weather effects to change. If you want to log the entry at the time the window opens, it doesn't matter what the weather was before; it's the weather after the change that matters. If you get there at 0750 during a thunderstorm and wait for the clock to strike 0800, it will look like the weather is still thunderstorms for another few seconds, but your emote won't count unless the weather forecast was for the thunderstorms to continue.

ARR #74 Entry log dosnt work for me. I allready tried it multiple times and make sure i did everything right with help of guides and so on but its simply dosnt work. Its the only ARR log i miss and it takes extrem long to meat the right weather conditions.

This is another one where you have to make sure the weather after the window opens is correct. The weather changes at exactly 0800, so you can't show up early and try to flag the vista based on it being the right weather going up to it, thinking you'll get it in those few seconds where the weather still appears to be correct. Even though it doesn't look like the weather changes until a few seconds after the hour, the weather changed exactly at the hour.

I allways checked the Skywatcher first for the right conditions before i traveld to the area, but i whas allways before 0800 there to get to the spot in time. So you mean i need to wait until is 0800 before i travel to the area and try again?

No, I'm saying that you have to make sure the next weather is the correct one.

Say you arrive early at 0730, and the current weather is correct, but the next weather is wrong. When 0800 comes around, it will appear to be the correct weather still for about five Eorzea minutes. Many people see this and think they can flag the vista. However, despite appearances, the whether actually had already changed exactly at 0800, so the conditions for the vista were not met.

If a vista opens at 0000, 0800, or 1600, you have to make sure that the weather after that time is correct, because the whether changes at those exact times.

... Never mind problem solved, i missed the right place by like 1cm all the time. Im so mad right now.

I'm having trouble with two sightseeing points in Western Coerthas, so perhaps people can help me as well.

One is at Dragonspit (X:9.1, Y:10.4) and the other perched on a frozen dragon in the northwest (X:12.7, Y:8.2, Z:0.9). In both locations I get the "arrived at vista" message, /lookout and get nothing.

I've checked the sightseeing log hints and there don't seem to be any remaining that require a different emote.

Thanks for that link! Really clear and helpful. Time to tackle the rest of my ARR logs. :D

A select few of the HW and SB sightseeing log entries require an emote other then lookout, but they dont really give much(or any) of a hint as to such. A quick search leads me to believe that for the first one you mention that you need to sit in the pond, and the second one the emote is /me.

Interesting. I'd worked out that a few of them did need other emotes, but it seemed to be linked with variations in the hint text - eg. instead of the usual "I looked out over the landscape" text, that one line might change to say "I sat down and admired the landscape". (One spot in Gyr Abania had me agonising for ages before I realised they'd inserted 'night' into the otherwise standard text.)

I couldn't see any incomplete entries remaining in Coerthas that indicated a different emote to 'lookout' and I didn't think there were supposed to be other variables for the Heavensward entries.

Some of them do have hints like that. But no, not all of them.

I have the same problem with #38 The Lancers Guild.

I am using this tracker
https://tylian.net/sslog/

So I know I am going at the right time but when using /lookout it auto-targets me instead of activating the vista, I have typed it and used it as a button, both auto-target me.

This is the only ARR vista I don't have. I have used that site for all the vistas.

In my experience, when the emote targets me rather then activating the vista its because im there either at the wrong time or wrong weather. But i havent done the whole log, so i cant speak for 38 in particular.

I am trying to work my way through the ARR vistas, but get frustrated, as several of them do not register, even if I do everything correct.
I have tried vista 24 Hidden Falls twice now, with correct weather, time and emote and nothing comes up.
Same happened with 41 Guardian Tree, the vista is on the tree bridge I assume?

I was running all over the correct location, but the chat box never mentioned that I am at a vista.

Is this a bug or did they get removed?

Have you done all of the first 20? As you can be in the correct place, time and weather but not have done the 1st 20. As 21-80 only unlock after you've done the 1st 20.

thanks that might be it, I still miss 2 in the 1 - 20 range. I will try that first.

That's definitely it in this case. Spots 21-80 won't even acknowledge that you're standing on a vista if you haven't finished 1-20 yet. The other expansions are like that too. If there aren't slots added to your sightseeing log, those vistas aren't available.
