Hello everyone!

I’m a newcomer to No Man’s Sky and I’m really excited to be part of this community. Could you lovely folks share any tips or suggestions for the game? I’m just starting out and any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much in advance.

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…

Like a lot of people, I’ve played NMS since launch. Occasionally, I’d go away for a bit and then return to it to see the new updates. I’ve also gotten friends into the game and helped them along the way. I’ve always kept my main save. There’s something about the continuity of my one character who has been across the stars several times over and collected odds and ends from places I will never see again.

Today, I had an interesting idea. Along my journey I’ve left bases. Some of them were more fleshed out homes that I used for long periods of time. Others were cobbled together out of necessity for the tasks at hand. I decided to go through and destroy all but two bases. I am taking the time to deconstruct each base piece by piece, and it’s quite amazing how many vivid memories resurface as I do this. I could tell you what was going on in my life during each base’s construction. One that I will never destroy was built with a close friend, and I found a hidden message terminal that I left near a mine shaft that congratulated him on the birth of his firstborn son. We had been playing the game a lot since he was home with his expectant wife, and that was the last time that we played before he stepped into fatherhood.

I think a big part of No Man’s Sky is how therapeutic it can be. I’ve escaped a lot of bad days by logging in and exploring the stars. I have found it extremely peaceful to return those locations to their natural state and revisit a few parts of my recent life while I’m at it.

I typically wouldn’t see myself as the person to make a sappy post about No Man’s Sky, but I must say that it is truly amazing how each floorboard and each wall captured some sort of memory.

Have you ever went back to those dusty locations in your saves?
