Cosmic Exploration is Bad

[Supersnow845]

All I hear when you type is, "Blah blah blah, I'm a self-righteous white knight who doesn't know what I'm talking about but I'll defend this sh*tty content to my dying breath and pretend that it's the best content in the game".

You're ignoring what I said because it doesn't fit the narrative you've formed in your head. Literally, the only difference between me succeeding and my failing was the gear I was using. I was using the same abilities in the same rotation, I always use them.

Without the Cosmic Exploration gear, I would 100% fail. With the Cosmic Exploration gear, I would succeed maybe 1 out of 5 tries. Do you understand that or are you too st*pid to understand that, and I need to try to find smaller words you are capable of understanding?

And like I said your perception is meaningless because your gear got weaker. Anything you feel is simply a placebo because that’s simply not how gear works

Regardless if you want to think I’m a white knight go ahead, if “white knight” means “understand the content and doesn’t blame all their misunderstanding on the content” then I guess it’s a pretty apt title for me.

If you decide down the line that you would actually like advice to make your life easier (because let’s face it even if you “win” this little argument with me; which you aren’t; it’s not going to suddenly make cosmic better because the problem is you, not the content in this case) then I’m sure you haven’t burned enough bridges on here for someone to actually offer you help. It won’t be me because you’ve spurned my help at every turn while pretending my help is some kind of backhanded insult of you but I’m sure someone else will be willing to help

Good luck I genuinely hope this content gets better for you because at this point I have no idea what else to say

The main thing I'm concerned about is if/how they're going to change things up in the future exploration zones because if it's just more of the same but with different scenery and maybe some new mech ops missions that's not going to be particularly engaging (And it's not terribly engaging to begin with).

I still gotta say, two fates is kinda... wild... I do not dislike the content too much, but between the time limits (they suck, no need for them) and the super boring fates... it would not kill em to do at least 5-6 different ones lol

I kinda wish it was bad. Everyone's doing it so much all the rewards are going for dirt cheap.

You are wrong.

It's once every 2 hours, and I have tried for the last 6 months to do Ocean Fishing, and the instance never spawned. I waited over 30 minutes once to see if the instance would ever spawn.

are u sure? I once got solo inside, all u need is just to queue in first 15 minutes.

You're a white knight because you're pretending like I'm the only one who thinks Cosmic Explorations sucks for gatherers when there are people here, on Reddit, and streamers who are all saying the same things.

And it's not a placebo effect, it's simply how it worked. Zero successes vs a few successes. It's not like I was succeeding a few times in the old gear and then continued to succeed a few times with the Cosmic Explorations gear. Literally zero successes until I got the new gear.

There is no advice you could give to me or anyone else in this game because you can't even acknowledge when the game itself is the problem. You are not helpful in any way and are one of the people who actively drive people away from this game. You are part of the problem with FFXIV.

I would just block the dude, it's clear he's just using you (and others) as punching bags and that he doesn't ACTUALLY want help.

No one who comes in to a conversation in bad faith and starts accusing you of not knowing how to play your class is here to help anyone. They're only here to stoke their own ego and pretend like they're better than you and pretend like they have some secret insight when they don't even understand the problem because they're not willing to listen or acknowledge that the content has problems.

I'm sure. You can only register for the boat every two hours, the quest marker doesn't even show up to register more than that, and I've waited 20 and 30 minutes before and the instance never spawned.

Trust me, if I could do Ocean Fishing more, I would.

Okay I’m done being insulted by OP

If anyone else wants to try to help please go ahead. I’d still genuinely like to help on the cosmic front where I can but I know when I’ve worn out my welcome

To OP reply to this if you want or don’t. I’m leaving this thread anyway. As much as I don’t like how you have acted on this thread I get heated as well. Regardless I hope you get the help and changes you are looking for. Enjoy the game

Clearly you don't. You were no longer welcome when you went on your tyraid about how I don't know how to play fisher or know what my abilities do, just because I'm a casual player.

And you can lie all you want, but you were only here to white knight for the content and not actually help anyone. So goodbye and good riddance.
