I can't believe anyone is defending this. Its so clear that SE screwed this up. This is a feature that I was really looking forward to, but now I have no interest in it. The weather/time system is simply a roadblock that prevents you from enjoying this new content. The only way I can actually complete this new feature is if I reach the location and then open up another game or watch some TV for a few hours and HOPE that I complete the objective.

Not to mention the fact that you HAVE to use a guide to figure out the difference between "fair" and "clear" or "rain" and "showers", or whatever. Because a lot of the riddles don't make it clear at all. And yeah, let's not even get started on the fact that you need a specific time/weather for the indoor locations.

This could have been a fun feature, but now its just a waste of time. And I guarantee you the majority will agree (as they are in this topic, with just a few dissenters). Newbies will start the game, reach level 20, and they'll get the quest and they'll be like "Oh that's cool! Let's find one of the locations!" and they'll go and find one...And they'll be unable to complete it...so they'll ask "Guys, I'm at the location for a vista but its not working" and then someone will tell them "Oh, you have to wait for the right weather to activate one", and they'll say "Oh cool, how long does that take?" and they'll be told "Could take anywhere from 10 minutes to 10 hours or more, since the weather also needs to correspond to a specific time of day" and the newbie will say "...Oh...this is stupid. Well I'm gonna go do something else then" and they'll never touch the sightseeing log again.
