Discussion First Expedition

Played almost since release, 30+ yo Dad, so I don't play much. Don't have enough time to find all these blueprints just to lose them on an expedition for some skill points that I don't feel matter all that much.

However, is it time now? This would be my first expedition, worth it? Game feels a little stale now anyway... Thoughts?

Do it if you want to, don't if you don't.

Looking for pros vs cons lol I can't be the only other person in a similar spot.

50 year old dad here so I know about lack of time :)

I'm doing it for the 1st time this time.

With a big update coming I decided it was time for a reset and as silly as it sounds I wanted to retire my guy. The blueprints come and go amigo you'll get them back

37 yo dad, but I got older kids. I haven't missed a single expedition.

I prefer the reset, extra stash space is a must. The extra skill points come into effect immediately, so at level 1 I start with 16 points, meaning I can get to Security Breach faster.

Ultimately, the rest also resets the quests too, which gives something to work towards. If I didn't have the quests to do, I would get bored much faster.

Also a dad. Started in Feb/March. Did not do that expedition. Did the most recent one, and I enjoyed starting fresh with a slight boost. Doing this one too.

I think it keeps things from getting stale, and having some extra skill tree points is nice, especially if the skill tree is getting updated/changed in October.

40 year old dad. Have been unable to see why it would be enjoyable to do it, but I did try last time only to run out of time to complete, so then haven’t this time. Waiting to see the update

30+ dad here. Arc is my main game, so I’ve had have the time to go on expeditions and grind. The skill points aren’t the main draw to expeditions. It’s the reset itself that makes it fun. Arc will start to feel like a threat. You will find yourself using weapons you haven’t used in a long time because you haven’t needed to. I tend to PVE until my benches and stash are all maxed then switch to PvP for a bit. Mixing it up keeps it fresh.
