What's your first impression of Eureka?

Took me 3 attempts to reach a NM, party wiped multiple times from adds, just got sparklers from the lockboxes.

10/10.

I never thougth that after all the feedback they introduced something that was even worse and more boring than any of the Diadems for me..

Why was this delayed?

- We have only reused monsters to grind with so that should not have taken that long..
- We have only reused sets for the relics so that shouldnt have taken that long either...
-The elemental wheel feels just like some side gimmick and nothing fun..
- NM seems to barely spawn..I was there for the whole time and only one NM showed up that was zerged down like any other hunting monster.

So I was ready for a grind but not something that is even more boring than Diadem itself. No objectives just mindlessly killing monsters over and over again. (Hello F2P korean grinders) I honestly dont even want to know how long it will take to get to max level and if it does really get much better later..but even if it should get better people need to get there first and its just soo boring.

They said that solo play is possible and I was fine with taking a bit longer but to make any noticeable progress and even get the chance to get a crystal you need a group. On top of that the xp steal is quite annoying. I tried to fight solo against a monster and someone comes in and kills it with me...and I dont even get full xp..I was in a group too but other than killing stuff faster it was not more fun. Later I did a group with one other person and the exp we got was split in half...

We cant activate any of the teleports under lvl 9 so going around the map is kinda pointless too.

So the only worthwile content is again the NM...which spawns randomlly and seemingly not that often...which then will be zerged down like any other hunt. (Will people be even able to defeat that one when barely anyone plays it anymore?) Then if you get gold you will get lootboxes which hopefully might contain some new stuff (minion, mount) or some re-used gathering glamour..

Re-used is really the best way to describe this content: Re-used monster, re-used models for the weapon and gear, re-used glamour...and on top of that its just so mindless. Even if you get more xp or crystals in higher levels you first need to get there and its still something to just kill..Also trolling has already begun..some people ran into other groups to kill them with the following monsters..

I will try it for some time to get the new mount but as soon as I have that I am out of there..I am still just shocked that it was delayed for something like that...and lets not forget that we are already halfway through the expansion so they cant have that much of relic steps...and yet instead of giving us new models from the start to make up for that its just re-used again..

Short version: This is just exactly like Diadem 2.0...but instead of having monsters in fate, they are just running around like that to be zerged down..and the NM are like the EM and kinda feels exactly as rare as them..so instead of just zerging one place we are zerging a whole island..

Is there any word yet on unique items dropped from lockboxes? I'm looking for something to at least keep me invested in hunting the bosses.

Jeez, sparklers?! It was such a pain getting those in Palace of The Dead and they're gonna do that again?!

[Albieros]

I get that eureka so far is a huge let down but to say that atmas or old relic steps were better is just plain retarded, I preffer to do this a hundred times over fate farming for atmas (they used to be 1%drop rate remember that), books, light farming or running ARF 100000 times

Out of 5 boxes I got 4 sparklers.

The dino mount is an exclusive lockbox reward, from what's been told.

The dino mount, minions and re-used gatherer glamour seemingly drops out of them. Which is the only reason I will step another foot into this..not even sure if I am going to finish the story because you need to level up for that...which means a lot of mindless killing..

Well, that's something. Thanks
Now I have a reason to hunt the NM's at least.
