What's your first impression of Eureka?

[Ryaz]

There are many issues with Eureka right now.

First, its nothing but a camping grind fest. You pick an element, pick and spot and kill endlessly spawning enemies for hours on end for little XP, giving you carpal tunnel as you grind for 3 hours to gain one level.

Second, the protean crystal requirements. 1200 total to get a 345 weapon (beaten by Mendacity and Byakko), 2700 total for 345 armor (beaten out by Mendacity and Sigmascape NORMAL gear). Anemos armor requires 750 of the anemos crystals just to upgrade it to the equivalent of Sigmascape normal gear (350) with the only perk bring able to dye it. And who knows what ridiculous requirement will be needed to upgrade the +2 weapon to whatever it's suppoaed to be. Even if you farm 12 hours a day, you're looking at months of work for gear that gets beaten out by dungeon tomestone gear that is much easier (and much more fun) to acquire.

Three, as point one, it's a kill fest. There are no objectives to keep things fresh, the fate spawn times are atrocious (have seen one in the last 4 hours), and its just mind-numbing.

I know it's supposed to be an alternative grind, but my god, at least make the gear you get better than what you get with dungeon tomestones and give it some real cosmetic flare to make it worth the grind. Not underleveled gear that's even more obsolete before you actually obtain it.

You know its bad when the zone starts out full of people chatting and a couple hours later, its dead.
