Cosmic Exploration is Bad

[Catwho]

I don't know what happened, but it's taken me 2 days of playing to get one level on my fisher.

I thought this was supposed to be some kind of activity for crafters and gatherers to level up, but apparently, its only reason for being is for people to waste their time, get zero XP, and make zero progress towards anything.

It doesn't help that the missions are so badly worded that I can't figure out what I'm supposed to do most of the time.

I came into this really wanting to like this and really wanting to have fun leveling up my gatherers (I don't play crafters, I don't like the crafting system), but I haven't ever been this frustrated or disappointed in this game as I am with this game mode.

I really hope they fix this soon. It's like they made this for the super hardcore players only and left the rest of the player base out to hang.

Mr. Happy said he made the mistake of starting with fisher too - it's arguably the hardest of them, since the RNG procs are every 15-30 seconds instead of every 2 seconds like in crafting or gathering.

That said, this is casual content. That's not the same as "free" content or even "easy" content. The crafting and gathering relic grinds in other expansions have also had similar levels of difficulty. Hell, just the normal fishing quests are ridiculously grindy - Feasts of Famine takes people months!

I don't even know what you're talking about when you say "Free". As for casual... yes, that means "easy". As in I shouldh't have to be a g*d d*mned penta-melded omnicrafter to play this b*llsh*t "casual" content.

This is the first time that I've ever felt like SE has actually failed at the game.

And if all you're going to do is try to come back at me and try to tell me I'm wrong or that I "just don't understand" all you'll be doing is wasting your breath.

I'm p*ssed off by this and Cosmic Explorations SUCK. End of story. If you like playing broken, crappy, worthless content, then please, keep playing it and have fun, but I won't play it again unless it gets a major overhaul in how it's done.

But with how badly they failed at this "casual" content, I have almost no hope at all for the Cosmic Exploration being any good or even dooable for an actual casual player like myself. It will probably be some b*llsh*t like the Chaotic World of Darkness, I was looking forward to it until I saw it was essentially Savage content. I don't have the time of the skill for that kind of sh*t and I'm getting a little sick of the game almost exclusively catering towards the ultra elite players just because they're a vocal minority.
