Eureka Pagos: Stormblood's Featured Content-- Not Fun.

-Change the bunny FATE such that everyone participating has a chance to get a lucky carrot instead of just one.
-Increase the drop% of the special coffers that drop crafting materials and special items (Hakutaku Eyes)
-Increase drop rate on special gear (e.g. Cassie Earring) from 1 person per FATE to simple 5% global drop rate to anyone who gets a Gold rating in the NM battle.
-Daily quests that give large chunks of EXP
-Reduce the EXP penalty of dying and returning without a Raise from 30% to 5%. Losing 3 hours of grinding (400k exp) is a pain.

Based on the YoshiP reddit translation a number of the employees do like Eureka so this could also turn into a "We are making content we like to play and you are only welcome if you want to follow along." SE should ask Blizzard how that worked out when they tried to take that tact.

lol so we're resorting to spamming the same subject by doing multiple threads? We can point the finger that the devs are tone deaf to us, but the NA community repeating the same subject multiple times really defeats the purpose.

def raise rewards - i've done snow queen plenty of times and no triple triad card.

Perhaps a community rep should make a Pagos feedback megathread, but that would require a community rep to

1) Be in the forums

2) Recognize there is an issue.

Neither of those is going to happen.

And in the next QA (if tghere is one) and this subject is brought up, it'll be dismissed or Yoshi will just do one of his usual reactions.

And we know at least one of those will happen.

Resorting to? There were multiple Pagos threads day one, that's how things go here.

I kinda doubt that having a bunch of threads complaining about Pagos is going to cause those complaints to go unnoticed. Or at least any more unnoticed than they would be in a mega thread.

It'd be nice to see them do a live QnA during the fanfest and have someone ask about these issues. "Are the NA/EU playerbases criticisms ever brought up in the board room?" and "Are you aware at just how many people are unsatisfied with the Eureka content, and are you listening to feedback to improve upon the player experience specifically?"

I'm just going to put these slides here.

They should be listening to feedback regardless. There absolutely should be GMs in game watching shout chats in Pagos (very hateful and negative) and community reps taking feedback from their customers.
Don't be surprised when SE releases a piece of content in a content lull and people play it despite hating it. They want to play the game and they are playing the only thing that is new and "casual".

Besides, leaving content for dead changes nothing. See : Diadem, Lords of Verminion, Astralogos. None of these have been changed and they are dead as doornails and have been forever.
