What's your first impression of Eureka?

[Astral145]

It needs work. I just hope the devs bring out more stuff to do.

[Albieros]

Least in the ARR/HW relics improved over time and the grind wasn't "fall asleep at my desk" worthy. Plus it could take less time than what Diadem 3.0 is doing.

SB relics WILL improve over time too, its plain idiotic to think otherwise, and dont know about you mate but running fucking ARF 100+ times was pretty "fall asleep ar my desk" worthy

you cant guarantee anything, we dont even know how much crystals you can get at high levels

To further that “guarantee”. 108 hours for 12 items(Atma). You need thousands here. Lol, if you think you’ll collect 4000+ items in that time more power to you.

It's garbage. The most impressive thing about it is how boring it is. Need an npc at the exit that will unsub your account and offer an apology.

[Bluvirus]

5 minutes in and I left. I thought was absolute garbage. I have wanted eureka since it was announced, but I absolutely hate it.

[Veriden]

Eureka is beautiful in a tragic way(in terms of graphics alone, it's amazing!)...but it would figure if SE didn't mess it by taking the grind for zodiac weapons and multiplying it by 10. It's just
Step 1.) Party up
Step 2.) ignore the single digit xp you get per monster
Step 3.) Kill monsters till you die of old age and maybe get 1/10th of the crystals you need to upgrade the weapon's first step.
Step 4.) Die of old age.
Step 5.) hope you can log on from heaven or w/e and spend eternity to get your eureka weapon, eternity is not long enough to get the armor.

So, what exactly do we get from this?

I mean, I made myself pentamelded crafted 350 gear within 2 weeks into 4.2. I'm happy enough with my current glamour.

I expected maybe something like the Timeless Isle or Argus model from WoW, lots of different rewards to hunt, maybe a few big vanity items to grind out. Perhaps a variety of minions, Grade V and VI materia, a couple of mounts, crafting materials, hunt seals... you know, accessible things to chase to keep you occupied for a few months. It isn't really just shiny 350's to glam is it? Honestly curious.

Played for 3 hours straight. Only level 3. This reminds me of old Maplestory. I get the idea is cool... but... the leveling is just god awful.

The players going early in this are definitively getting the short end of the stick. It takes roughly 1 hour per level up to L.4/Lv.5. Depends on the number of Fates you get to do.

However, we were a group of three Lv.5 and one Lv.4, and we helped a friend who was just starting (so, a group of 5 players). He got to Lv.4 in something like ~30mn of grind.

Its clear that power leveling will get extremely easy later on for newcomers.

Per the patch notes:

The quantity and frequency with which protean crystals can be obtained will increase with the elemental level of enemies, the greatest yields coming from those at level 20 or above.


Nobody knows how the drop rates will be at lvl 20 so stop spouting nonsense.

[ToasterMan]

I didn't have high hopes for this.

I thought I'd seen the worst already.

Then Yoshi told me to hold his beer.......
