What's your first impression of Eureka?

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.

The only time i ever enjoyed getting the relic weapon was back in 2.0, you know starting quest till i90 startdust rod. After that its become nothing but mindless content. Eureka has a lot of potential I just hope the devs can update it as i really want end game open world content.

I think this initial reaction is from people trying to zerg the level one beach, to be blunt. Content is barely 8 hours live yet, wait a bit till we get doom and gloom.

Yet we dont have any other objective in there..so how will it change later? Instead of being a lvl 1 fish you will kill lots of lots of lvl 20 monster for a drop? How is that any more fun? In the end the NM are the one that probably most people want and yet the spawn rate seems quite rare for them too. Not sure how zerging at the beginning will make it better later. Its not like we will get quests or something like that at a later level. We will get a different monster skin with a different HP level that we still have to kill a lot. And if you need a huge amount of hours before the content is fun (if it ever is) then something is kinda wrong.

Edit: Since I have reached my daily post limit:

It seems that the trolling as started. We did not manage to defeat the NM because people kept on pulling the way higher leveled bears directly into the groups but we could not pull it somehwere else because of the other higher level monsters around us. The add that needed to be killed was really hard to see with all the people there (kinda like the hunts) so we also had quite the loss with them. This reminds me of the EM in Diadem where only a small amount of people can destory a mission for everyone else. Honestly that was not fun and there was quite the anger and frustation in the shout chat while fighting and afterwards.

I wonder what population percentage has the mental fortitude to reach a level sufficient to challenge monsters like that, given the current advancement rates asnd engaging gameplay.

If what people keep telling me...I probably will be able to get there...something about me being able to do mind numbing grinds for hours on end without even starting to go crazy...probably because work uses more than enough brain power to make up for it?

Honestly I was staggered when I saw it was 900 to get to +2.

And then it's actually FIVE THOUSAND TO GET THE RELIC?
AND THE RELIC WAS ALREADY OUTDATED 2 MONTHS AGO?

This kind of grind would hardly be accepted back in the 90s, it sure as shit isn't acceptable now. It takes ~10 minutes to get a single crystal in a full party rolling at full tilt. Nobody wants to spend 500+ hours grinding out trash weapons. They're garbage literally RIGHT NOW, they're going to be even worse in 2 months when you could feasibly get the weapon.

This kind of mindless grind is worse than atma. Worse than anything FFXIV 1.x did (besides the flowerpots).

The same people that grind relics?

Well, there are people who use bots. Since a lot of them haven't been banned, it might be SE embraced them as customers and decided to make content specifically for them.

[Ondori]

I think its great and it will only get better. Good Job SE on finally creating something that people enjoy.

Challenge accepted... I do have the glowing Yokai-watch go-go mount after all lol

[KDSilver]

My impression ?

I feel like a bot.
