Request for Sight Seeing log

[Nalien]

If it doesn't give any hints, just come back and try again at a different time?

Can we not nerf EXPLORATION, gosh guys.

I've done that with #36 pretty much every day since Sightseeing was introduced. Not sure what kind of exploration you do, but mine usually involves finding places, not finding places and then having to wait for an entirely meaningless requirement which isn't even hinted at. Bad enough the vista is in a building, thus making the weather/time requirement pretty much an absurdity.

Short of sitting at the same vista and doing the emote every time the weather/hour changes, there is simply no feasible way to do this without a guide. It is simply a poorly designed piece of content.

Let's nerf fishing while we're at it then, make everything that is supposed to be relaxing to enjoy the scenery and done with leisure time done in a single day.

Given the current "How to" for Sightseeing seems to consist of "Follow this Guide and use the Weather NPC", I'm incline to think most people are enjoying the scenery of the Weather NPC (or worse yet just a web page) more than the actual vista from the Log. It's a case of getting the OK from the Weather NPC then going to the vista to cross off a number for a minion. Rather than picking an entry in the Log during your down time, figuring it out (were it actually possible to), going there and getting the entry.

I'd love to relax and enjoy the Sightseeing Log, but SE instead decided that I should instead be faced with frustration for every entry I figure out, because I get there and am told; "No, you cannot view the Eiffel Tower at this time, nor this weather".

Christ... Just having "You arrive at the vista! You feel X weather/time would improve it...", or "You arrive at the vista! The conditions are perfect!" would be worlds better than the current "Go use a guide if you want to finish this within the century"...

I don't even see what's wrong with being able to clear the Log in a single day... Have you ever actually been sightseeing? You go and see what you can, when you can. Nobody climbs Mt Everest only to go "Shucks, it's Sunny instead of Cloudy, guess I'll come back later". The only weather which has ever really disrupted actual sightseeing is rain, though here that's a requirement half the time - but you better make use it's the right type of rain!
