Sightseeing Log - Its just not happening.

[Yumi_umi]

Sightseeing got nerfed even more lol cuz SE finally added tht weather npc that shows u every zones' weather and the day after weather i think.
All that's left to do is to keep track of time and practice them easy jumps. Not so hard now eh?

Should have done it GW2 style

Weather changes at midnight and 8am (and later on I forget when, 4pm?)

The two last log entries I need for 1-20 NEVER EVER occur. I've tried multiple hours in a row, no luck whatsoever. Every day I try whenever its near time.

5am-8am. Thats the window. Awful awful window.

7 Lower La Noscea Red Rooster Stead (Fog)

I hate this thing.

I lost interest when I got to the mark in upper la noscea weather changed too quick before I could hit the emote.

tried again same thing and again same thing so I gave up on that, not a big issue its something I was willing to try but you know how it is.

Exactly, tho, this game doesn`t have all the good and fun jumping puzzles, so that would have been really boring... Anyway, idk why SE loves to put lockouts, grind and RNG where should have been none. Sightseeing Log is one of the biggest slaps the community has recived since lunch.

I gave sightseeing an honest try. Attempted it for a few weeks. Didn't even get half the first page done before I got tired of waiting for the right weather, after getting to the locations needed. Even with npcs added to towns, that really doesn't resolve the issue of having to meet weather requirements on top of jumping puzzles, some of which are very frustrating. And this is even with a guide to tell me exactly where i needed to go (because quite frankly, the in-game explanations are extremely vague and unhelpful).

I could take a few minutes, or several, or more, to complete a jumping puzzle and be happy I finally reached the destination needed, only to realize the weather I needed isn't even likely to occur for another 3+ hours of RL time or is simply unknown when it might finally change to the weather needed.

More hassle and frustration, less/no fun. Good idea, implemented horribly. GW2 jumping puzzles and Vistas were excellently done. Had ARR actually done them like that I would have enjoyed this content so much more, but quite frankly it's a waste of memory/code in it's current state and might as well be removed from the game in all honesty. It would change nothing. It's simply is not a fun design.

Se is literally making it easier for u guys with all the nerfs lol.
Back before these small updates we had to keep track of time and teleport to ALL needed zones to MANUALLY check the weather.
You know how much that costed me? Easily 100-200k with all the frequent teleports to different regions. I always made sure that i checked each area i needed in every timeframe as weather changes at 3 specific times.
Knowing this i would always teleport to every location i needed in the first hour ( eorzean time) of the transition so if i do find multiple places with right conditions ; i will be able to score 2 -4 locations in 1 timeframe etc.
I really wanted that apkallu minion so i stuck it out with careful planning and practice.
So imo u guys shouldn't be complaining this much about something that is so minor.
Btw i did this in a few days or so lol.
Had to solo it as LSs were just filled with leeches.

[KingOfAbyss]

Is there actually anything worth doing this Sightseeing log for? Other than the warm fuzzy feeling of a complete menu lmao!

A very useful Minion.

Hmmm I have yet to do even the first 20 fully. Mostly because I seem to have probs finding certain vistas or I find them but no emote that I try works or even though it seems the weather/time should be right it won't trigger. So at this point seriously considering just guiding through them.

blip

People are mainly complaining that they made something that could be fun, a timesink by adding weather to it, instead of just a find the spot, and then move on to the next one.
But this is SE they make everything that could be really fun, really bad.
I am so sure they are gonna screw up golden saucer, they are making it a timed content or a lockout
