Eureka

When do you think we will get an update on this?

Since we live in a WoW patch cycle now, half the patch won't be in the actual main patch itself - but drawn out. They said it probably won't make 4.15, so close to 4.2 or in 4.2 itself.

They said the intended release was 4.15 but they couldn't finish the implementation. 4.2 is the current set date.

At least we have the dungeon and the raid in the same patch. :D Eureka will come with the Viera and the Butt Slider sometimes in the future.

Eureka will be the next expansion at this pace. New race, a whole 3 dungeons and 4.0 relics! Only $99 on the mog station!

I think the biggest issue for me isn't as much that Eureka is delayed, but IF the Relic's initial phases do not even need Eureka then I'll find myself being exceedingly pissed. Also I'm willing to bet that 4.2 actually means 4.25 so that it doesn't interfere with the raid launch. So we're looking at a real chance of not being able to start the relic, something iconic to this game, until Febuary with January being the earliest unless some miracle happens and they get it out 4.17.

They said that 4.2 will being seeing an entirely different way to get relics other then Eureka in the Letter.

I was wondering where this 4.2 talk came from, I didn't see any news on that anywhere. So maybe something like 4.18?

No they didn't. They only said the relic itself will be different than previous relic content. It's been confirmed for months now the relic will be tied to Eureka. That's the "entirely different way."

Considering they haven't said a single word about it yet showed of numerous other things. It makes little sense they'd abruptly release Eureka in a baby patch.

The translations say it was pushed back to 4.2

Going off past trends, relic generally lands on x.x5 patch, so 4.15 would have fallen into the trend and made sense. 2.2 brought Second Coil as well as patch 3.2 bringing Midas. I would have thought that 4.2 would be the next raid tier.

Basically, we're going to be overdue for relic, if going by Heavensward.
Patch 3.15 relic quest added.
Patch 3.25 relic quest.
Patch 3.45 relic quests.

Welp. This really sucks.

By then there will be a large portion of players using the tomestone alternatives, and SE will have to jump a whole design step to compensate the missing patch cycle. (Meaning two weapons with sparkly alternatives verses 3.) Plus, we don't know the power behind Shinryu EX's drops. Also, isn't the new Deep Dungeon coming around 4.25?

I think this delay will cut out a decent chunk of players from doing the 4.0 relics, even if Eureka is fun and the weapons are good, they'll already be on the side of the alternatives.


It might be better if we knew what Eureka was even hinted to be like in FFXIV. Fate grinding for currency to take on solo bosses on a job by job basis? A physical labyrinth we need to explore? Quest lines in the single Eureka zone? Hunts? ???

Yoshida mentioned Shinryu EX's weapon helping on DPS check for V3S, if you're stuck on it. I'm guessing it means it's about the same level as the the augmented one.

....and there's another nail in the Eureka coffin.


I always opted for the alternative routes for weapons verses the relic when I made the effort as the grinds are just so awful pre-nerf, so I was really looking forward to the changes brought by Eureka.

The anima light step really isn't ever getting nerfed, is it?

Since relic is now tied to Eureka, but Eureka is being pushed back to 4.2... does that mean we will have 5 steps to do at once??? (290, 310, 330, 340, 360)

I hope not, I want my sanity intact, or mostly intact.
