And will put the game on hold until next major update.

Things I don't like

Aggro from way way low critters. Having fought through those level and now to the point where I can tank 8 gingo stark naked in the majestic garden area, now they are a nuisance and shouldn't continuously aggro on me.

L100 Prospecting -- unbalanced. Needs something other then jumps from 16-32-64-128 in harvesting costs. Bugged or just doesn't make sense. Can't pull Q100 or Q150 mats, only get Q99 and Q148 with 32 cost stanza. With 64 cost stanza I blow a full tank of focus (1000) for 4 mat pulls.

Speed vs rate? Whats the difference? I go 3 1 5 and pull the same as 1 3 5.

Can't travel, aggro to dense to travel far.

Broken crafting missions. I specificaly took those crafting lines to do the missions only to find they are broken.

Prospecting missions almost impossible. Particularly with only 16 harvest way points. System needs a harvesting log.

A couple things to consider when harvesting...

Have you maxed your will? Having a huge pool doesn't mean much if you can't regen it very fast. Regen is more important than a big focus pool, as is the self heal.

Are you using prospecting with source time 1min? 1/3/5 (or was it 1/2/5 that fit on -32) will get you 3-4x q150 mats a pull with a 1 min source time.

As for broken crafting missions, an explanation would be most worthwhile. The only 'bug' i am aware of, is when they ask for a brok staff, you actually need to get them a fighting staff. They could be a little more clear in the naming of the various items, but I wouldn't call them broken.

Aggro from low level critters, while annoying, just means you should try and avoid them, will help keep you on your toes when you are foraging in the borderlands.

Speed vs rate, while they don't make a big difference in the amount you pull, there is a slight difference, one that may become more apparent at higher levels. But, there is also the difference in how they affect the explosion/heart bars. Speed will cause the bars to drop more frequently, while rate may or may not cause bigger drops (not sure if they do, even with a rate 1 at low levels they could drop a large amount in one action). Also, with a higher speed, you are going to use your focus faster than if you switched to lower speed with a higher rate, and still pull a similair quantity of mats.

Traveling is not meant to be easy, some areas it is possible to stealth through, like the Lagoon of Loria or Hidden source, while others are near impossible til much higher in level (aka heretics hovel). Being able to, at low level, easily travel wherever you want would take away from the game in a big way imo. It's a dangerous world, and I like it that way, as do others I'm sure.

As for near impossible foraging missions, thats up to the players resolve. You could take notes out of game, or use your memory to remember them. Keep notes on what missions ask for what, so if you happen to run across them, you can easily pick up the mission before heading out the next time, hit the mission spot, then continue on your regularly scheduled foraging.

Life is never the way we all want it. The decision is up to each person on how they will deal with the situations presented to them.
