Cosmic Exploration progression is poorly handled

When the community contribution exp is full the stuff upgrades for everyone who is there at the time.
For players who come late be it work, health or new players to the game that finally reach it. They get a quest with an objective to do and finishing it gives them the upgrade on their end.

Yall really want to individually do the quest where you vacuum moon dust for 40 minutes

I guess whatever floats your boat. After the first upgrade I was glad I logged off and by the time I came back the second one was done

Sure, why not? If I can push a button to cast a spell or swing a weapon until something dies, I can click to vacuum dust.
At least I would be doing something to trigger a change in the overworld instead of it already being finished before I even did anything.

You are doing something, we are in stage 3 of like 15 and each stage is barely moving at like 1 stage per week

Remember what was in the live letter, we are nowhere near finished

People are acting like zip lines were the peak of the content and nothing ever will happen after that.
Do they even know that we're only building a base of operations atm?... And cosidering what were told in the intro quest, I won't be surprised if we end up making a new starship.

You're missing the point. Each state will cycle in and be completed in hours unless they plan to make later stages take way, way longer.

The current cycle is one day in and no server is even half way there

As a Diadem enjoyer, I find the Cosmic Exploration incredibly tedious (for the most part).

I'm not a fan of the levequest style content. Having to travel to each location to press two buttons to start a 3min timer then two more buttons to collect my reward after running across the small area to three different node spawn locations is frustrating.

If I want to do another levequest I have to click two buttons to figure out if I'm in the right spot or six more (maximum) because they change up order of the list.

I understand they included 'Stellar Sprint' but I would have really liked access to my mounts / flying to make it easier to get from one place to another instead of being land-locked to the 'teleports'.

It really just compounds the tedium of the whole experience.

I will give credit where it's due, I don't so much mind the fates. They're a nice change up to the gathering formula.

Ultimately though, I much prefer the more relaxed nature of 'pick up and go' that the Diadem provides. Just pick a class, pick the direction, go collect and turn in your items whenever you're ready.

I understand it's not for everyone but it's definitely a much more relaxed style of content that I really appreciate.
