Cosmic Exploration progression is poorly handled

[Regis_Paran]

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

You know a game hit rock bottom when one-time event contribution is peak content.

The way I see it, the first two stages were meant to go by quickly so that we could unlock hoverboard travel. I’m also confident that we’ll unlock mounts after reaching a certain stage, and eventually even gain the ability to fly around the map.

I’m not sure what’s so sad about missing the first two phases, but I’m pretty sure we’ll get Fetes like those in the Ishgard Restoration, where each activity is repeated. The forums really quick to complain and it gets annoying.

Also, this is Odin's progression. So we haven't even see all phases.



Here is the link for all servers: Cosmic Exploration

Doman enclave restoration. You start at 0, and through a weekly task get to see all the stages and see the enclave get slowly restored.
Just copy that at a bigger scale.

Ooh so close but that's not shared progression content serverwide.

One thing the game should do though is be a lot more transparent about the progression system

After phase 3 finished the bar just sat there empty for a while even though people were doing CE’s, red alerts, relics and ~~not~~ kupo of fortunes. That’s the original reason why people thought phase 3 was it, because nothing moved the bar.

Turns out every few hours (I’m not exactly sure how many) the game tallies up what’s been done recently and if it’s sufficient (which in a server the size of mine like jenova always is) then it fills one progress bar out of (I think) 10 then the cycle silently repeats

It seems like having the bar just be able to progress as things are done rather than arbitrarily go up in opaque blocks and pulls be better to show everyone that progression is still actively happening and you are contributing to it

Why would people think that tho?
They showed the phase with much more stuff in PLL and said even that is not the final phase.

Nice job forcing crafting in the gatherer jobs... I don't like crafting, planned to only do the gathering quest, but I guess I won't even do those in the end... I'm really not happy with that choice.

I’m confused as to why people are still seeing this as a problem (and normally I’m a massive complainer)

The first two stages were minor changes at best just to get the teleporters running because of the lack of mounts and now it seems like a long grind to stage 4 and potentially beyond

Nobody is missing contributing to progression, you can go contribute to progression right now. The first phases specifically changed almost nothing specifically as they were just setting up groundwork

Because people want to experience all of this get built up and not just get driven over to something already completed? They want to participate in these fates and not just hear about them? This was one of the biggest complaints about Ishgard Restoration and we know they were asked about it because they mentioned it in the Live Letter.
