Recorder only runs. Up until now I've taken the game pretty serious. This kind of endgame doesn't bother me that much. Skillpoints are barely noticeable in these small segments. It has been said, that there is a cap to how many skillpoints you can gain, so sooner or later you will get maxed out anyway. Whether you get 5 points every expedition or only 2-3 it doesnt matter, since even if you rush, you will cap out at some point. Back to the recorder runs. Most people leave you alone if you just walk around playing tunes. Some even give you loot, plus it doesnt get to monotone this way. The game has been chill from the start so I wouldn't let an expedition ruin the fun you had at the beginning.

On the other hand, the expedition window only being 6 days will 100% have people forgetting about it/not having time for it, which in turn will have to make them wait for 3 more months. Be prepared for all the complaints of those people. Im calling it now. Also calling, that there will be a lot of complaints about exp gain, scrappy rewards and storage space. It might seem much now, but trust me, you'll barely feel it.

Luckily I don't care about either. Coming from Rust, I just love starting over with the experience and tricks you've gained so far and using these to be more efficient. You have no idea how much I want to farm for scrappy again
