Tomes are a stupid idea, you have to grind those tomes to get into a dungeon, I don't want to waste 100 tomes or even 1 tome on a dungeon of any sort. I don't like randoms that's my major complaint with raiding as it is. I prefer a static of like minded people that want to go in to have fun and get some loot not go in for the loot itself.
I'm not looking for mindless content, as I keep saying i like the ideas, they just don't fit in for relic grinds. I disagree about you being able to get your relic faster because you chose the harder content, not everyone has the time to put the effort into raiding (not talking about myself)Meanwhile, a player like me can get my static or a PF group going and tackle a 3 star and work on our relic weapon too and be proportionally rewarded and challenged. We're grinding just like you, but it's not mindless to us and we can get a relic weapon doing content we like, just like you can for you.
Spending tomes isn't what people are really interested in doing though.You're preaching to the choir here. This content is about powering up (earning) gear and earning other gear via drops (inside the instance). You even spend tomes to get in which further reinforces that concept.
Might hold true for you but I hear about my FC leader not being able to get into O3S even tho she's geared and knows the fight. I've seen plenty of elitism on the forums as it is. It's always there, regardless of you seeing it or not, count yourself lucky.Fair enough, appreciate the insight. I will say that you don't need to min-max BIS stuff (at least I don't and I have 90%+ logs) and I personally haven't seen much TRUE elitism lately; mostly just the nonsensical people who are bad who think x y z is good, when it is objectively not.
I know you can get discord on your phone but I dislike voice chat, unless it's with friends over the PSN.You can easily get discord on your phone if you truly were interested in being a part of that.
At this point I doubt it really matters, I'm sure they have Eureka pretty much fleshed out and how the relic is going to work in the start.I am not opposed to pulling my concept out of relic territory and into somewhere else. That said, I hope my response above about your expected experience would help mitigate your concerns about the concept.
I however would like to see your ideas put into a POTD type of system, whether it's single player or party content. I think your ideas are great and whatnot but I just think it's better suited for a filler type thing to do outside of raiding. I think there needs to be more focus on harder 4 man content and less on 8 man content, they've started doing this but I just never really liked raiding, it's more about the player count than anything else tbh.
