So, the new Cosmic Beatdown requires four cosmics, including the difficult to engage Eidolon.
Aside from the great difficulty coordinating a group for Eidolon, even the increased GCR award means a general reduction in GCR.
I am a grumpypants, but generally in favor of dev work, and I understand what they are going for.
Not a fan of this change, though.

yes, it gets done when it gets done. The first Cosmic 'daily' took me 2 weeks to get done.
The new Boss fight is interesting.

Actually, why not significantly increase the reward and significantly increase the recycle time to a few days or a week? This would slow down GCR gain for the "elites" and speed it up for the "casuals".

This just sounds like another "gimme more for doing less" plan u3u
And if he is acknowledging the fact that they would make it a weekly that actually grants way, way less than what you would get for doing the daily every day for a week, then what happens when the """""""casuals""""""" get more time to play/end up in enough successful runs that they would have gotten more reward for actually doing the quest as it is now? Lemme guess, then they double back and claim this was some evil dev decision to oppress the casuals u3u
Also, which """"""""""""""""""""""""casuals"""""""""""""""""""""""""" do you base the rate on? The ones who can only get on one day a week? The ones who can get on 3 days? 5 days? How "`"`"`"casual"`"`"`" are we going here? I know some '`'`'`'`casual'`'`'`'`'` players who get on every day of the week and easily attend cosmics enough to get the daily done several times per week. Which casual is the true casual?

I get more credits and questionite from just doing Cosmics, than sitting out the cosmics that I do not need for my daily. It's like some kind of weird rocket biology kind of math.
The daily is there as an extra incentive to participate in Cosmic battles, it's not as if it locks you out of rewards unless you complete it.
ape- now that I can see the rock bombs is a lot easier. I still get lag death occasionally but meh, **** happens. And of course the, someone said something in chat, what is was it..... dead.
dino is always fun, as I try to remember when to block when to attack. or on healer, when to heal and when to quickly res people.
the new one, ok it requires fast footwork for the last bit... boy did i get a load of lag deaths with the fight.
But I will give the Devs 2 Bastard Points for making the orbs you save Red(danger) and the ones you kill yellow(neutral.)
Most people will have to fight the automatic reaction, red is danger, kill it
It is a bit annoying so many powers can't be used because they may affect the red orbs but I really don't miss hordes of pets in melee, sorry pet characters.

Before the change there would be days that I would be waiting for a Dino run to happen successfully. Just this weekend I have seen a Kiga run that took hours to complete.
They may be more frequent than successful Eidolon takedowns, but they are still far from a sure thing, and the less time you play every day the less sure they become.
Take part in the hunts you can take part in, claim the GCR that you can claim, and if you happen to get the daily done then it's a bonus.
Always has been.
Still, I'm not a fan of mixing the Q zone cosmic into Cosmic beatdown. Doesn't seem like a good fit to me, from in-game/lore aspect.

Shadow Destroyer-turned-Eidolon is a separate and unique thing to himself. It's the game's culmination, and its climax. It's standalone. It shouldn't have been lumped in with the Cosmics.
The devs have made some great changes, overall. But this decision is questionable. I get that they want to market the new zone, and incentivize players. But this tie in just feels wrong.
Kiga already requires you to travel to a different zone than the first two, so that reasoning is out.
Thematically Kiga already didn't fit in with the first two, so that reasoning is out.
They're all part of the daily because they're all Cosmic open world bosses. That's what it is - the Cosmic daily. It's not the Kaiju daily, it's not the "fighting monsters on earth" daily. It's the Cosmic daily. In fact, if they add any more Cosmics to the game you can likely expect to see their name popping up in that quest as well. Personally I don't want any more open world Cosmics, I want more epic lairs.
Shoot, instead of worrying about getting the cosmic daily done, just do a TA instead.

With that said I could barely complete the daily before he was added, as it was not guaranteed that even an ATTEMPT on the dino would be going down that day. Still the most unliked of the cosmics, but still doable, just not as much as the others.
The recently there have been four in a row runs.
