Mokoko Seeds criticism

[Megakruemel[GER]]

So, all the queueing issues aside, did you know there are collectables called "Mokoko Seeds"?

It came to my attention that many people do not. Because they are that "well" hidden.
And that is my problem.

I looked up a guide, more out of curiosity than actual need, because I thought "Wow I'm doing pretty good, I already have 10" and I was negatively blown away by how many I missed.
The thing is, I didn't actually "miss" them. They were just really hard to access unless you knew they were there.
The best example, which many people might have already seen when looking up mokoko seeds, is the "hidden wall" in the cathedral.

You literally have to hug the wall in the big cathedral to run through an invisible wall, over invisible flooring, to activate mokoko seeds floating in the texturless black void off screen. (The most popular guide for mokoko seeds here on steam even has pictures)


When I first found a Mokoko Seed I thought "this is neat, now I have a reason to pay a bit of attention to find one or two along the way" but the reality is, they aren't smartly hidden. They are just placed in locations you wouldn't normally go to. You will go insane trying to find most of those yourself.
It's not about paying attention, it's about wall hugging every map, and running into every single stone, because they just might be placed under that random pebble in this 2km² map full of pebbles.

If there is any trick to finding them, which I just missed completely and which would make finding them actually possible without looking up guides, please enlighten me.

It also doesn't help that your character gets stuck so easily on every single wall. So you have to go back and forth against a wall in order to see if you can through it or not.

The ones out in the open are not really hidden and will just be found on the way. But then we have those that are quite literally blending in with the environment or hidden behind a thing where only 1 pixel is shown.

Not to talk about that one dungeon where you had to go through a WALL with no clear evidence of there being a secret entrance there. So far only found one of them this blatantly hidden.

It was, in fact, quite the comedic experience.

I started collecting them early on, but then i stopped and thought about what the hell am i doing here?

What do the seeds do?

From what I can tell, they give you a bit of Roster XP. 180 to be exact. Aside from that, it's more of a collectible than actually relevant to gameplay.

You can turn them in for cool rewards.

Well before season 2 we had a ship as a reward for 500 seeds. Now collecting them just...nah. To busy with other content.

This is what a collectathon does for you, makes you run fetch quests, to collect things in a awkward manner that doesn't suit most players gameplay needs.

To can see this seeds bs menu pop on your screen need to play zoomed in where camera cant even be controlled, rotate, is unplayable also you can't even adjust zoom. Whoever came with this idea should be fired. That's why i just look for guides and pick them up when in that area, not gonna play blind all the time zoomed in.

Especially the seeds in the dungeon. I mean you search for 2 sec. for a party than inside they hustle so fast you cant even take your time finding those seeds.....

[Grug]

I like the seeds, but mainly because I've accepted I'll never find them all and just get what I can.

Run solo the dungeon on easiest to get the bs seeds, then run it on hard for the gear.
