[Suggestion] Extended Surveys are not it

71 votes

As much as we love more content, please stop making us extended surveys. Anything else would be great but another plopping down 4 beacons down and to watch netflix to wait out the timer doesn't sound like great player retention.

Sitting there doing nothing for an hour isn't anyone's idea of fun.

I suggest either reducing the timer to no more than 10 minutes or make it more interesting somehow. For example, once all the scanners are up, have Sol say something like, "Hey there's a dangerous storm headed your way. You have X minutes to shore up those buildings," and queue a long red thunderstorm period.

Please dont waste any of our time again with Hardcore Survey Missions which take 5 Hours!

Thats almost 3.5x times more then the normal mission (90min) and the payout isn't scaled correctly compared to the normal mission

And NONE of the caves had exotics in it! No Radar Signal... just a pure waste of our time

I agree 10000000% what are they doing? I FELL ASLEEP at my computer waiting for this. Put in more hunt missions and add more preditors
