I can see they have put a huge amount of effort into this expedition.

My favorite expedition so far was the titan worm expedition, it had really nice mechanics of killing giant worms and it was awesome, the storyline was also very cool.

Every expeditions so far has a storyline, some better then others but all of them have some lore like in-game story missions.

It doesn’t make sense to put so much effort into something that will never be available again, I understand doing things like that for MMOs, but NMS is a single-player game with multiplayer features, so it doesn’t make sense to have time limited events.

This causes FOMO and makes a lot of people not wanting to play the game because of how much cool things they have missed.

We don’t have much comestic items for no man’s sky, and now most of them are locked behind expedition’s that have already been finished.

For example, we have 4 jetpacks, but only 2 of them are unlockable through the game, the other 2 are gone forever and forgotten with the expeditions. Capes suffers the same problem, we have 3 right now but only 1 can be unlocked through the normal game.

I wouldn’t mind expedition’s being time gated if we could get the rewards in-game, but that’s not the case. We have few cosmetics and most of them are locked behind finished expeditions.

A possible new player may not want to buy the game because they will never have those cosmetics or items that they missed, and we have very few customization items in NMS so lock part of them is just not smart.

Also, we have some very nice features in expedition’s that we will never see on the game again, like those giant sand worms that we could kill on that old titan worm expedition, the time loop from now and other features that just exist in certain expeditions.

Also, not everyone likes to have to create a new save for them, they could be convert into missions inside the core game, with the option of creating a new save or using your existing save to play them.

“Oh but the idea is having limited-time items”

That’s just not a good idea, we don’t have much cosmetics items in first place, and putting the new ones into time limited missions is just bad game design.

We can see that the devs put a lot of effort into the expeditions, making new game mechanics and storylines, and they just disappear and are forgotten after the expedition ends.

If you guys don’t want to make the itens or expeditions available on the core game with normal game saves, at least don’t make the expeditions be time-limited.

Please take out this time gate for expeditions, let us play them whenever we want. You can just maintain the expedition game mode with the option to choose which expedition to play, without any time gates.

And it’s not like we can’t get the item, who uses PC or Xbox can just get it thought save editor, but it’s not nice to have to use this tool to get the items, just make them available on the core game, it will not hurt the game it will actually improve it.

I am day one player and have more than 1000 hours in NMS, I have the game on all platforms and it’s my favorite game of all time, but this time gated content it’s not nice for no man’s sky, actually it isn’t nice for any game, it works for MMOs but NMS isn’t a MMO…
