Summer event quests page 2 and page 3 require players to submit a base report. However there are many players who cannot compete these steps as they have no access to bases
It’s bad enough that a lot of us miss out on great rewards and challenges with the lack of bases in many areas, but hard locking quests behind a feature that’s only available to a small subset is not cool!
Please fix this as there will be quite a few users locked at stage 2 of the questline!
Alternatively a method to guarantee all users access to a base would be acceptable.
I couldnt do a single base event so far since release, cause not available anywhere. Dont add this to quests please.
My local group and I would have to travel for multiple hours by car if we wanted to actually progress in this event, or even do anything related to bases.
It’s a shame because the features seem interesting, but a lot of players like ourselves will never get that chance unless they change something. Very bad idea to make a quest like this.
This hasn’t gone live in my timezone yet, but if they have really locked a whole round of quests behind a task requiring base access, well that sucks big time.
edit… I have just looked again at the screenshots… it’s not just 1 round that is locked, there are 5 of them!
I am already locked out of activities, content and opportunities to earn useful game items by lack of base.
I already have frustrating UI features that rarely do anything other than take space on my map (base icon and base defence count icon)
As there becomes more and more I see but cannot do, I will become frustrated, less willing to spend money (ok, I’m not a big spender, but I do get a hunters pass each season), and may reach a point where I quit the game.
I have seen bases in smaller towns than the one nearest me, and there are bases. But I cannot justify an hour of travel each way to spend an hour on an outbreak. And certainly not for the way the base defence works.
Please make more bases - or better give us a way to access a base from much further away. Especially now there is matching of hunters across different bases there is no reason not to let us have them locally.
It’s fundamentally unreasonable that players cannot play the same game under the same conditions.
This issue has been drawing requests for improvement ever since the Exploration Base was introduced, yet there has been no progress whatsoever. I believe dev should provide a proper explanation as to why nothing has been done about it despite the ongoing feedback from the community.

Thank you for your report regarding the Summer Special Exchange Hunt Week quests.
We understand that some players may find it difficult to participate in these quests if there are no Exploration Bases nearby. We will share your feedback about base accessibility and base-related quests with the responsible team for future improvements.
It’s ridiculous that we rural players are cut out from exclusive layered , medals and materials…
I play MHN every day since launch but if I miss more and more stuff just because of stopid base related stuff I will stop…
The future update where rural players is heard will probably not happen, the only time it will come is if the MHN world is near its end.
They will never make adjustment to rural players that doesnt bring in money or have the resources to travel anytime to join a meet event.
I used to play in the city, now I stopped spending money on it after relocating to a rural area, ive heard that future update thing 2 seasons ago, and still nothing.
It’s not as if they will compensate us for the things we missed outside of our control.
I also tried to add pokestop in pokemon go, only to be denied and get a warning about something I uploaded that isn’t true. I stop caring after that.
No idea how it’s determined where a base is placed but it needs to be changed ASAP.
A feature that can’t be achieved by playing the game and if nothing else can’t even be achieved by paying for it, is just terrible design.
Every player should be able to have access to a base. If not the feature should be reworked.
I did play every day before Basecamp update. Nowadays I don’t even login because I can see Niantic doesn’t give a f about non asian players and base availability feedback. Such a shame, because game is excellent.
Due to my job, I travel to a big city once or twice a week, so the issue doesn’t affect me that much. However, I completely understand the hassle for others.
I started playing this game because I could play it in my rural hometown without major disadvantages (the biggest one being the lack of collection points). But with the new base defense feature, a friend of mine and many other players are increasingly being excluded from the fun.
It would be really nice to reconsider this path of development to keep the game fun for everyone.
“Difficult”?
Please let me know how I can do it without a base nearby. Travel is not a workable answer, because that requires a base near enough to reasonably travel to.
But they have listened to rural players in the past. It was pre-Scopely, but I think the MHN team transferred across when Niantic games was split from what became Niantic Spatial.
Prime example is MB+/Earth Crystal/Carpenterbug. At launch, they were only available if you had a node, they changed that.
This is idiotic. Bases are a joke. Am am a heavy user and hate to plan my trips to the capital to be able to catch a base event here and there. As far as I know we have one base located in capital of Slovenia. I opened the app in 2nd largest city, no base as well. And I live in city with 40k population - no base. If there are more bases only god knows, because there is no map that I am aware off to be usable.
So to make this great feature even more a pain in the ass since it is not available, someone decided to stick it into quest progress. Are they serious? They want me to do an hour and a half drive for me.. for some even 3 hours and more. This is a joke. I guess we need to give it a 1 star in store or what is the biggest pain?
If this issue cannot be resolved during the event period, I believe players who are unable to access the base and therefore cannot participate should receive some form of compensation.
Again a part of the game i can’t play cause there is nothing nearby here. been playing since release but sadly just less and less, in the groups there is half that are having fun building towards the outbreaks and then the other half that just have no bases nearby at all and are mostly stopping cause of this… already missed out on half of the achievements and rewards…
I hope they really fix this somehow fairly… I get the feeling its not getting taken seriously at all, every time the answer is the same, “we get it its difficult”…
I play since the beginning. But I dont have a base nearby… The next is 20km away… and now these **** quest task…
