Hello!
I play on a PC, solo game, and since day 1 of the journey steps feature I noticed its very badly implemented.
If a certain journey is not the current one, the steps will not count.
Example: I was about to get a purge at my base. Current journey was some other, adventure related, not the purge one. The purge came, I killed a few enemies, purge ended. Purge journey steps completed: 0. None. Now I must wait for another purge to pop and select that journey as active before it happens. I guess I can trigger one via admin panel, but its not the issue. There are many other journeys that don’t fill if we don’t have it active.
Or like the cartographer journey, we must visit each location following their order in the list, even if we have one location nearby, its ignored because, well, not the time for that one yet.
Or the “talk to Conan” step. I talked to him already, but the journey was not updated because I needed to do something else first.
These journey limitations are annoying, game-killing, and immersion-breaking.
I could post this in the bug section but it would require some form filling and I see there are lot of people already reporting this.
Lets hope they fix and / or change the way journeys work. Because right now, they are bad. Very bad.
Cheers
