A simple fix for Cosmic Exploration gatherer content

[KillaKilala]

Using your GP in one Stellar Mission and not being able to continue without waiting for it to refill can be annoying, yes, even with Cordials there to help bridge the gap. It has nothing to do about making it any easier but allowing players to get back into the action quicker.

What do you mean no being able to continue without waiting for it to refill? Why am I able to do it? Huh? It's not a game design issue, it's a skill issue... And maybe if you can't do it, you should wait for better gear in 7.3 or craft while your GP is recovering, instead of trying to ruin the game... And tbh even the silver star rewards are good, and please don't tell me you can't even get a silver star...

A ranks are 100% designed around a full GP bar and a cordial off CD.

Doing another mission while you have near no GP isn’t worth it because you won’t get silver unless it’s a B/C/D which on the gatherers are barely worth doing with a few notable exceptions.

They 100% should offer a faster CD way of restoring GP only within cosmic when you aren’t on a mission

I don't see why you're getting so upset about a simple feature that would allow players, including yourself, to be able to get back into doing the missions quicker. Having enhanced GP regeneration does not inherently make Stellar Missions too easy.

I am not even advocating for the bar to be completely refilled.
I at first suggested a cute way to receive a buff that would increase how quickly you got it back.

All it does is reduce the wait time between missions. It is inherently a design issue to have players wait as long as they have to just to be able to do one mission and then have to wait again. Yes, I am aware you can do crafting while you wait, but that changes nothing of what I've said.

The only skill issue here is your lack of interpersonal skills.
Get over yourself.

Yeah its needed, crafters can stack potions and food with no end and macro the hell outta the stuff, while gathers either "waste" time with inefficient work or waiting... And ill be honest, the CD on the GP is too long anyways... reduce the time on potions and raise the regen...

BECAUSE you don't need to wait... Because I'm starting to feel that you're these chinese spies that ruined every ubisoft game to drop their market value, so they could buy it cheaper. You are literally trying to ruin the game that is already too easy by asking to make it even easier. Here's the video of me doing 4 lvl 100 missions in a row without waiting. The last one is the best one, A-2 mission, started with 170 GP, got a gold star and 270 contribution points. The only bad thing about comsic is the reward drop rates(good rewards drop too much) and that I need to reroll missions as you can see in the video. But yeah if you've got to something more to say other than attacking my personality then I'm willing to hear.

The example you provided is literally the one mission that’s GP ambivalent repeated 3 times in a row then another GP lite mission

Try doing 4 collectible missions in a row

You can't come in swinging and then complain when someone hits back, that's pathetic lmao

Are you talking about A-3 missions? Cause I just got a gold star without using any skiills and without a relic. And I would've gotten it on my first attempt if I didn't go for that last node, but honestly it doesn't really matter cause the difference is just 100 points.

No, I just don't wanna talk about myself here, I wanna talk about the game. In fact I want you to attack me, but with the real arguments like the guy above.

Peak gameplay to cancel missions to reroll so you get the ones with low GP cost (bonus items and get x in less than y).

As you have shown your equipment in the beginning, let me ensure you that I have the current pentameld on all crafters and gatherers (including tools) and enough materia to pentameld my new 7.3 equipment day one. Just so that this is clear.

Spamming the same 2 missions over and over again can require cancelling another missions for up to 10 times. If they want people to play the variety of missions, they should fix the GP depletion. As it stands, even with the missions you highlighted, you wont be nearly as fast as crafters in getting points.

And before somebody questions my commitment into cosmic: I had my relics 11/11 done on day 3/4.

These are my current points:

So I really did try out the content extensively before forming my critique and offering a simple fix to the situation. I am willing to finish the grind even with the situation at hand but I don't feel like it's necessary to make people spamming the same 2 missions by rerolling them over and over again.

And I do respect your opinion but you misrepresented my suggestion as "give out pentameld for free" etc.

I may have another suggestion to fix this: Lower cordial CD in cosmic. Then you still have to spend the resource but you can refill GP even if you are doing the collectable missions for example.

EDIT:
And to reply to some of the other suggestions:
The idea I really liked was the fairy idea from Eureka :> This would add some community component to cosmic by sharing the current locations.

EDIT2:
And to be clear: I am not showing and telling you this stuff to brag but to show that I am really invested into cosmic and gave it 100s of hours of time already and didn't just formed my opinion after doing a couple of missions.

The reason I reroll missions is because I don't wanna run around the map all the time. And I didn't know these were the easy missions or something(although the last one gave me 270 points which isn't a low), so if you look up my previous message I did some A-3 missions. Are these easy too? Well okay tell me what missions should I do and I'll do them.
