Read this carefully before you respond with a nasty comment

I have been reading post after post on reddit regarding people raging, complaining and having tantrums over this expedition. Despite the fact that this particular expedition is not for me, I still get annoyed at some of the complaints on here.

Look folks, HG can’t be everything and every game to every person. Over the the years they have certainly tried to include something for everyone.

I am not an expedition enthusiast. I have done a few but I don’t lay awake at night regretting the ones I skip.

It’s a totally seperate game mode so it’s not required material to play No Man’s Sky.

I think it’s totally fair for HG to add an expedition for hardcore players. How many Hardcore expeditions have we had in the past? The answer is none (to my knowledge) so I applaud HG for including that player base.

Regarding people that complain that special rewards are tied to expeditions, Yes they are. Why shouldn’t an expedition player get some awesome, unique rewards for completing a special event?

Special events reap special rewards.

Bottom line is, there are players who want a trophy for non participation. That’s not how it works.

If you want the darn whale cape and can’t live a quality life without it then play the expedition.

Expedition 7 is not for me, I admit and I’m ok for deciding not to continue with it. I don’t hate it, I’m not angry, disappointed or anything of the sort. It just doesn’t resonate with my style of play and the way in which I enjoy playing.

I am no less of a person for skipping /quitting. I have been playing NMS since release in 2016 on two platforms. I don’t know everything about the game and still ask questions but I’m not at all clueless either.

I have played every mode and the one I personally enjoy most is normal mode. I game to remove myself from my real world, hectic life. I want chill exploration and adventure. That’s me, it doesn’t have to be you. I respect everyone’s style of playing.

Now one last point before wrapping this up.

I suspect the majority of the players IMO, that are raging are new – newish players to the game.

For those players I have some friendly advice. You really should play through the missions the regular mode game has. It will guide you through most everything you need to know and reward you with items you will need later on.

Play in “Normal Mode” your first time.

If you have questions along your journey don’t hesitate to come on reddit and ask the No Man’s Sky Community. The vast majority of members are very helpful, patient, knowledgeable and friendly people. I personally love to help people when I can. Yes, you’ll run into a few nasty people but that’s life on or off line – Que Sera Sera, don’t sweat it.

There will be other expeditions. Don’t rage over one particular expedition. Especially because I’m sure this won’t be the last Perma-death style expedition. I suspect HG will cycle the expeditions through various modes and everyone will get their own slice of the happiness pie.

Again, I’m thrilled that players who do enjoy this mode of play are having great fun and getting some awesome rewards.

Get out there and crush it you hardcore animals! 😁👍

Peace and safe travels to you all. Sincerely, eE.

I’m taking a small break (maybe a few months at most) to play some other games in my library starting with a plague’s tale. But I really wanna thank this community and the game itself for reminding me why I love games. I was never an avid gamer growing up, technically speaking this ps5 is the first real console I can call my own. So as you can imagine I never was one to spend hours on a game. I’d enjoy a few hours of a game but eventually I’d either lose interest or get distracted by other things. Speeding to only a few months ago I downloaded no man’s sky. It had been sitting in my library as one of the few games I binged bought and I wasn’t even aware of how the community was yet. I don’t even remember how many hours passed but it must’ve been almost half a day when I decided to rest. The next day and days after that ended up a routine of sorts. I got so caught up in the game that I realized I genuinely loved it. I learned of this reddit as well as the coordinate exchange one and since then I’ve been immersed in this welcoming community. I don’t think I’ll ever come across a community that makes me love a game as much as this one. But I definitely feel more open minded cause of y’all.
