What's your first impression of Eureka?

[Arkdra]

Bullshit. I've not seen anyone on the forums crying for brainless and difficult grinds. Difficulty, sure, but not brainless difficulty. You, sir, are willfully misrepresenting the general content-related complaints floating around on the forums.

This forum has long been riddled with addle-brained NEETs pining for FF11 style hellgrinds.

i don't think i've seen an update this horrible in any mmo in an very long time...

I am actually blown away by how horrible this is.

It's like they took everything bad about the game and rolled it into a content update

Remember all that interaction with Gerolt you enjoyed from previous Relic quest chains?

Yeah well now he's a menu vendor for 4 relic steps.

sigh

It's like I can't go 30 minutes without thinking of something else about this that's just a big ol' disappointment and I was really, really hoping for more.

I'm not even home to give it a shot and I'm so sad already after reading all these comments. D: Damn...

[duvvvv]

haven't read the rest of the thread, just want to add to topic that Eureka was a nostalgia train, I'd love to hate it, but I've been through grindier stuff in the early 2000s so I'll live.
still far from getting gear, but I had fun with FC-mates! will do again :3

Speaking as someone who has multiple HW relics in progress, who has a zeta, and who did the Yokai Watch Whisper A-Go-Go mount grind TWICE I can say with certainty that this is the worst, most unfunny grind SE has ever implemented.

I'd rather do atmas, braves books, and A1S speedclears til the end of time than go back into Eureka again.

I can live without this new relic or dyable AF3, I run savage so it's not like I won't have a competitive weapon without relic - and this first step isn't even equivalent to byakko :/

Not a sir, and I've seen plenty of people clamoring for a closer return to FFXI with difficult to kill, dangerous, overworld monsters and exp grinding to promote overworld connectivity between players.

Just because you haven't borne witness to something doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

[Fyce]

Like omg... I cant power level through this so it sucks. Lol. Hear like 20 people say this today at a minimum

Eureka is actually very powerlevel friendly as long as you have higher level friends.
It's just not ready yet.

Why are you surprised? Why is anybody surprised? When have they ever gotten anything right?

Majority of jobs, even with the obscenely overpowered potion, it's *impossible* to solo certain mobs at your level. Also, you get NOTHING for killing lower level mobs.

This isn't difficult. There's zero challenge in Eureka, it's just a grind.

If I wanted to play FFXI, I'd play FFXI. Eureka shouldnt exist. It's awful content, and it's a stretch to even call it content. There's no real rewards, there's no thought to it, all the mobs do the same thing, you're constantly traversing the same small area, and killing literally thousands of identical enemies that you've been seeing since launch.

I'd say I hope its designers would be fired, but considering it took it over a year to make this trash, that'd leave nobody left to develop the rest of the game.

Thanks for all the PTSD triggers you just gave me
