What's your first impression of Eureka?

[Arkdra]

Its content with an acquired taste, I don't mind people not liking it, but (much like raiding) this content is for a subset of players that enjoy this style of content, and people who don't enjoy that kind of content try to rip it apart and call it dead content. I know I will be going back in to try to get to the deeper parts of the island (I care more about my elemental level than the gear) and I hope that there are some secrets and powerful NMs to discover.

Because this content has explicitly been eating into the other content developement cycles and the people who actively yearn for this sort of thing is even smaller than the number of people who made legitimate attempts at savage coil. And savage coil was already a huge waste of time for 99% of the playerbase. So it's cool that major patch features from here on out will only be devoted to random niches. Maybe one day my niche will be appealed to and I can finally finish that dinner date with Aymeric.

Do you have the statistic to back up the claim that this niche is smaller than savage coil? This content is certainly more accessible than that content.

Also, Eureka is not the only reason we lost a dungeon, Yoshi P addressed this by saying that the amount of dungeons in the game is very high right now, and they are reducing the number of dungeons in any given expansion in order to slow this escalation. It's not as simple as Eureka = one less dungeon, there are many factors at play that make up the design decisions of the expansion.

It's EverQuest! Hail, fellow adventurers! Oh my, what's this lvl 9 wolf doing right outsi--LOADING, PLEASE WAIT...

j/k I did not actually run up to the wolves, rightly assuming everything was KoS to me--sorry, I mean aggressive, is that the word you kids use in this game? Anyway. Count your blessings - in my day, we lost 10-20% exp per death, lost levels, lost our gear on the corpse we had to fetch afterwards (good luck if it was at the bottom of a dungeon)...walked uphill both ways in the snow and what is this aetheryte/teleport nonsense, we only had druids and wizards who could port...my point being you guys quitcher whinin' and git offa my lawn!

Haven't gotten past lvl 1 but am seeing lots of LFG messages and people training mobs into the 'city' area (please don't do this), people gathering tons of mobs and AoEing their way to glory, etc. Been interesting. I have yet to figure out the magia board in practical usage but I haven't spent much time on it so that's understandable. I'll get it eventually, no worries.

"Incredibly Tough" for those using FFXI terms.
