(PSN)TheThirdLie Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 The same goes for fishing. Don't force us to do this tedious, "minigame" for essential game mechanics. I just spent 40 minutes minutes quick mining and got 34 pustrels while using a smeeta and booster. Really? I would like to play the actual game, not shoot a laser at rocks for hours on end.🙄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(NSW)Sk0rp1on Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 I like fishing and mining. I have Ivara builds specifically for both activities. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started out going for prefects since it will increase how many you get, WHEN you get them. I switched to quick when nothing was being given. Out of all the beins I hit, only three actually awarded pustrels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got all the pustrels I needed in less than 15 minutes, without a booster or a kavat. The cave at the lake with the geyser. Quick mine blue ore to make it go away, mine red ore as best as you can. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selpar Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 5 minutes ago, (PS4)Q7XR2-75B said: That's a poor solution. If your problem is you need pustrels, and Copernics to make your railjack, and you hate mining it is the correct solution. You can legitimatly get a couple thousand of each in a single mission once Empyrean drops and you can't use the ship for anything until then anyway... you can't even color it. It is 100% useless until the update the only reason to build it ahead of time is so you can host missions right away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from getting your Railjack prepared for Empyrean prior to its release, you aren't required to mine/fish at all. Thumpers/Exploiter Orb drop the resources and you can skip the NW challenges entirely. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(PSN)segulibanez65 Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 Anyone else finding copernics in the void? Right after I finished farming the 120 from Vallis I was farming argon crystals and got over 30 coperics in 2 different drops, I believe from crates (though I was spamming desecrate, so not sure) Saw nothing in the wiki about it before farming them, so anyone in need of copernics not wanting to mine maybe try void survival since you'll need 15 argon crystals anyway.

It's not fun in any way, shape, or form. Who honestly logs into WF and thinks to themselves, "gee, I want to go shoot rocks!" No one. It is a terrible part of this game and the fact that you are forced to do it just proves so. The first two resources let you play the game, almost any mission type, and you could get them. This doesn't let you do anything, but literally shoot rocks. Shoot. Rocks. And when the solution is to let others do the work for you, yeah, it sucks even more. I suck at Tridolons, but I don't do them and just hang out while everyone else does the work. Why would I here?

(PSN)FriendSharkey Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 I would like them to try allowing us to fish, mine, and hunt animals from our K-drives before completely writing it off first... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)Dishinshoryuken Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 I would prefer for the mining to have a setting for the new materials or a new gun to drill with that gets those items. The DEMandela Effects are getting too much, for me at the least and this one that tells us the parts have been there all along but we were too busy shooting enemies to notice is wrong.

AuroraSonicBoom Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 Non combat activities have a place in this game, but DE makes the players spend to much time on it. There's a balance to be had. Instead of how it is now, they could simple make loot 10 crates ten times rarer, but provide ten times the amount of mats. In fact, that would make other non combat activities feel more rewarding as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's like five minutes of mining once a month, which is just about the correct tolerable amount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butterfly85 Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 Radical idea they had, this option of going out and having to hunt down and earn the resources we need to build stuff. 🤪 Personally I like the change of pace that comes with mining or fishing, especially if its while I'm working towards something. Games like Diablo 3 irked me no end because there was precious little crafting involved 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
