Hello. I don't mind a little diversity in quests besides the "greet that one" or "bring whatever to that guy" or "study something awfully long"- but the experience events are just plain bad. After 4 entire days trying to proc "sensing the beast" - I just gave up and abandon. Since then I received a ton of Experience events that I instantly abandon. The problem is that it seems that every second quest wants me to experience something (the current one is the seeing a dryad) and I am getting kind of stuck on my mystic credo. I do not mind having to study a 60+ hours curios - since I can do something about it and use Contemplation several times, I don't mind catching dragons or getting high on stuff - since I know I can farm the needed stuff or trade for it, I don't mind having some time-gated quests as long as I am aware on how much time I have to wait. But I do mind not having a clue on what should I do in order to proc a certain event, like meeting a damn dryad. Will I have to wander the woods for 3 days, for a week, for a month ?!?!!?
There are solutions - like making the experience events a little more reliable and less random, or eliminating them from the quest credo list. Lastly you might just put a random quest saying "Please abandon this quest! Tough luck!" I don't think anyone in their right mind accept the experience quests and not instantly abandon them ...

Re: Experience events for credos too random
hey fuck experience events because one time it took me like fucking 3 extra weeks to do cave hermit because i *just* experienced a cave vagina and i was too stubborn to abandon
the experience system is too random for the intent of questing to not feel like its punishing you for playing the game (ie: experiencing these experiences and thusly triggering them to go on cooldown)
that being said i have noticed that i am getting experience x resource fairly frequently nowadays so who knows what dumb shit they did to that system? we'll never know because theres a fun culture of "we dont know the system, we never explained it, so extrapolate the mechanics yourselves and have a good time" to this game.

Re: Experience events for credos too random
Getting this as a quest should reset the cooldown and give you the XP event the moment you find it.
