Mining Cutter problems

[(XBOX)a Nick Nak]

While Im not a big fan of the whole mining experience in the plains as whole.. the thing that bothers me the most is how terrible and responsive the cutter is control with joystick. ITS REALLY BAD. But that aside I find the entire mining experience very lack luster, its straight up not fun. Yes.. i know this game has lots of grind.. but its fun grind and enjoyable.. running around finding tiny blue and red spots on a huge rock only to then try and trace out a shape by memory with a god awful cutter isnt exactly my idea of a good time.. all the while of course being bombarded by grineer. As plain as this sounds.. I personally feel that if we had actual rock/crystal nodes that were much larger and visually IDENTIFIABLE (instead of blue and red spots) and we went up with our space lazer and slowly broke them down or whatever for material.. it wouldnt be so damn tedious.

I agree it's difficult with the controller, sometimes the laser resists moving in certain directions, I think because of the angle you are facing. I would hope for some tweaks or more leniency for controllers. The other issue is the amounts we need *cough* pyrol *cough* and not having others means to aquire it, bounty rewards, standing trade, etc. Options make for happy players. But as mini games/diversions go it's otherwise well done and I kind of enjoy it in small doses...

I would add its horrendous if you have a kubrow/kavat that likes to run into your laser path - where the laser ends up tracing around the body of the kubrow/kavat (and the lines will sometimes move with the pet).

And, why does the pattern have to disappear after a couple seconds?  Why do we have to play a memory game?

Little tip: if you can make your pet invisible, like with Loki, the laser goes through the pet. Doesn't help with seeing the lines, though. but it does not halt your progress.

 

p.s. does not work with Ivara as the mining laser breaks her prowl.

If you use advance cutter, you will benefit from 3 things:

- Get better gems

- Your cutting doesn't have to be accurate

- the gems location is highlighted on your mini map once you are close to it (that's help a lot, specially when it indicated if up or down)

If you stop using the laser like 2 seconds later the outline reappears
