Is it worth it though? I’ve tried it twice and only ever found the assessor cores or whatever they are called. They do nothing in game except for the project that expires in a few days and the don’t even stack in the stash. I guess there is the Dolabra BP, but who are we kidding I’m never going to find that with my BP luck.

Dolabra crafting.
Quest finishing
That's all I need. And the quest is insane with how much you need. I feel like the devs really are not in line with what is fun and what is punish grind for this one.

They are out to lunch and doing the bare minimum of smoke and mirrors "Content" creation - which isn't content creation at all. They are taking existing patterns in various events, trials, and expeditions and just moving spreadsheets around. On one end of the coin, they were obviously blind-sided by the early success of the game and had ZERO game plan for the future. On the other they have made over $500 million and it's been 6 months since launch without anything but a snails pace of keeping people engaged which has failed about now because reports are 80% of the playerbase left.
From loot, to guns, to even the events all smoke and mirror'd to look different but isn't in the slightest. Hurricane shifted what was cold snap and health decline to shield decline. Loot table was adjusted with the raider caches with the same shit in them we always saw throughout all the maps except a higher drop rate on blueprints. Once again, the same blueprints for the last 6 months.
And they have the balls to call it content.
And now, this is what they consider a change to expeditions which, once again, have the same reward structure but moving a time sink from A to B with nothing different to earn, no new loot to create and use, or hardly any differentiation aside from rarity because then they would have to admit that people who play this game play for at least some sort of carrot related to power = time/effort. As it has stood for 6 months, the appearance of risk concerning a loadout you may bring into topside is the only thing they had and that facade is gone. Who cares if you lose a Tempest? Bring in an Anvil or a Apregio and you will have the same results anyway side from what it may sound like or look like. The veil has been lifted so to speak and underneath that it's just lazy as fuck so they do not have to actually reward players with anything related to effort in the game. The gig is up, and they aren't doing dick all to change it.

And the other thing is they're not complete noobs. They've been running The Finals for years now, onto season 10. It's not perfect and have plenty of room for improvement but feels vastly superior to Arc Raiders, and if nothing else should have provided plenty of knowledge and expertise on how to do it.

Thats me right there. I haven't played since right when they dropped the Birds Patch. Was waiting for them to get through their whole announced content rollout to return.

The trailers for the new map... It looks like a remix of existing art assets more than a wholly new thing. The hotel seems to be a freaking Galleria, the stacked crates are just the shipping containers from Stella Montis loading bay, the most recent even shows off what appears to be a copy-paste of the Spaceport Trench Towers.

I used a room key for the first time since they said they buffed the key rarity levels. Purple key, walked out with 6 purples. I guess that's fixed.
Side note: I had a goal of learning my way around Stella without always opening the map. I'm still not there.

This took me a LONG time, but once you have the whole place mapped out in your head you can do pretty fun amazing stuff. Its a freakishly well designed map.

I haven’t done an expedition before. Does everyone do damage to arc/players for this expedition? Someone on Reddit said if it’s your first time it’s stash value, but that’s not how I understood it.
Kinda hesitant to start over, but I’ve got an anvil BP and a looting survivor augment BP that my friend will transfer, so at least I’ve got that to start with. Will give me lots to do besides just doing trials weekly.

Pretty big update coming tomorrow. I’m in.

Update is not great. New map is cool, but they severely nerfed weapon durability. The cloak duration has also been significantly reduced and you can’t even really run out of aggro range before the battery is depleted. Some good new content in the patch, but these nerfs just take the fun out of it.
