What's your first impression of Eureka?

Boring as all hell. The element wheel is cool and all, but 1 hour of grinding got me 1 level and 3 crystals. When you need 5050 of them to get the first level relic and weapon, then lol nope. Get ready to party with 8 other people and just mindlessly spam your attacks for hours on end.

The storyline seems interesting, but god do I have no will to try and grind my way through it. I think this tier of relics will be skipped for me.

oh my god - just NO. I dipped my toe in the water for a bit earlier, found it quite mind-numbing to be honest. I will give it one thing though, even given the large amount of people zerging left and right, they were not stingy with available mobs to kill, so at least no reason to fight over targets.

Truly horrible. The worse content this game has ever released. And the worst content patch for any mmo or game i have ever played.

I dont think is bad, its just that it seems too little for how long they took to deliver, maybe it could have been better recieved if they released new weapon and armor models instead of the aura ones, it seems it will be a long grind for a weapon and armor that will be outdated on the next patch (and tome weapons and armors), eureka needs to have more and usefull rewards to stay relevant

It's already outdated.

I actually like it a lot more than a lot of others here seem to, but... yeah, the artifact upgrades are bad.

It's shows they've learned nothing. We complained about Dino Island so instead they give us Monster Island and make the solo/party participation penalty even worse than its ever been in this game before.
Dyable AF1 and AF2 were simple enough to get, but this is the only way to upgrade AF3; which is locked behind three bloody gear tiers for no reason, and its absolutely disgusting in every sense of the word.

Especially when you consider some people might have wanted to gear all 15 jobs with new AF. I personally don't mind a grind, but hmm... Now it just seems like pick and choose the best glamour pieces.

So with "third time's a charm" being a flop for the New New content. Can they just remake XIV AGAIN and make it an action MMORPG? They'd get more subs...

Just let Platinum Games handle it.

I started playing about a year ago, so I've never done any Diadem stuff. My first impression of Eureka is not so great. I'm still optimistic that there's more to it or more that will be added to it, but disappointed with the initial experience.

So far I've run around in a party spamming scatter and moulinet for 20 minutes and received 10 crystals. That's not a bad drop rate, but the problem is that the content is completely unengaging. When I heard of Eureka and that it "definitely most certainly won't be anything like Diadem, honest" I imagined some kind of wilderness full of mobs and tough bosses, caves to explore, items to find, underwater exploration, maybe some puzzles to solve, some daily quests - engaging, repeatable content that doesn't become obsolete and deserted after 90% give up on the grind and the remaining 10% grind out their reward and never come back.

They've seemingly crafted a beautiful zone, filled it with re-named morbols and told us to kill six million of them to make our AF weapon sparkle. What's worse is that the devs know this kind of grind isn't appreciated, it isn't enjoyable, and somehow it was still delayed to 4.25. I haven't seen anything in Eureka that would justify that extra development time and resources.

I'm really hoping it'll prove me wrong because I really want to enjoy it, but there's nothing engaging about killing an endless stream of mobs for an hour.

Please SE, go back to the drawing board, fill Eureka with things to do and make it a place people want to explore. It's really disheartening to admit but I can't see myself doing much more in Eureka, and I had some pretty high hopes for it.
