Sightseeing Log - Its just not happening.

[Nalien]

Seems simple to me.

Just so you know, some of use aren't using a guide, so we can't exactly check the Weather NPC and go down a list of what is and isn't possible. Some of us actually go out and find a Vista before working out the weather (because rarely is the time and/or weather remotely apparent in the clues), and are effectively turned away upon arriving at a Vista.

And yes, I can do something else while waiting for the RNG to grace me with the right time/weather. That's exactly what I do. That's not a complement to the system though, that's just another flaw. Rather than going; "I want to go Sightseeing" and actually going Sightseeing (like I want to), I'm going "I want to go Sightseeing... Nevermind, I'll check back in later when the NPC updates" and doing something completely different for an indeterminate amount of time. The game effectively goes; "You want to do this? <dice roll> Nope, sorry, come back later".

Waiting at the Vista. Waiting at the Weather NPC. Crafting while you wait. It is all still a waiting game. Waiting is the constant in Sightseeing, the variable is where you are/what you're doing while you wait.
