A simple fix for Cosmic Exploration gatherer content

[PotatoePet]

Just fill GP and give "cosmic cordials" when accepting a mission. Will instantly fix the cosmic exploration gatherer experience.

It's easy and fair considering that crafters also get all prerequisites when accepting a mission.

Do it, Square Enix!

EDIT: And to fix people from cheating the system (free GP refill) just empty GP when leaving the area or use an own GP bar for the area. And dw, I know SE will realistically never do this.

I've seen people mention areas like in Eureka where you can stand and receive a buff and a cute idea I had in relation to that would be loporrit lemonade stands or something
though knowing them we'd just drink carrots

I do think that refilling GP after a mission is a must
The time limit is also a tad short, so it could probably be extended a few minutes and I think that'd be okay
Maybe up to 8 total but that might be more than enough

Carronade?

As much as it would probably be easier to just make GP refill automatically after a mission the way crafters do, I really want to see this happen. I can just hear shout chat now “anyone seen the buff bunny?”

Carrot juice stands that gave a buff to GP regen would be perfect. That's really the only thing wrong with the gathering side. I enjoyed them otherwise, it was just the hurry up and wait part that really needs addressing.

WHY? WHYYYYY? Maybe they should also give you fully pentamelded gear when you start a mission? Better yet they should give you all rewards including 500k mount after completing just one mission... The game's already INSANELY easy, it's so easy that we don't even play the game anymore, we just consume it's content(and tbh it applies to most modern games). I HAD to remind myself how good MSQ was by rewatching cutscenes BECAUSE I forgor how good it was. And it was good, it was a masterpiece, one of the best stories I've expierenced. BUT it's barely memorable because of how easy game is, because you always win, no one dies(side characters that I don't care about don't count) or dies and gets revived later, everything goes perfect all the time. I just can't care if I know I'm going to win no matter what I do... One time I decided to try do EVERYTHING wrong during the solo duty. The screen flashed red, NPCs begged me to protect them, but I just stood afk the whole time and ate every aoe. And guess what? Yeah... Yeah... And it was on hardest difficulty... You can't be all powerful and win all the time, it's boring. Cosmic needs to be even harder. GP refill??? Brotheeeeeerrrrr what are you talking about?

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.

That's a helluva off-topic wall o' text to defend game design that requires players to sit and wait.

My sister in Hydaelyn, we are just ask to reduce downtime, I have 930 GP with 7.1 recommended pentamelds(I know they changed over time, but this has been working for me and I don't care enough to remeld), it takes me 117 server ticks, or 351 seconds, which is to say just shy of 6 minutes, to recover all my GP from 0 to full, and that's *if* I sit around doing nothing, longer if change classes to a crafter while I wait since the level 70, 80 and 83 GP regen traits don't take effect if you aren't currently a gatherer, not a single part of what I am describing is actually gameplay, nor does it involve any difficulty.

By the way can we talk about the GP regen traits not taking effect while you aren't a gatherer? it's normally not a big deal, but it really rears its ugly head in Cosmic, probably some funky piece of spaghetti code that isn't easy enough to fix to be worth the time commitment, but still.

yes please. carrot juice stands for gatherers would be amazing
