Hardly anyone in my FC or my friends list was online so I decided to venture into Eureka solo. After entering and going through the intro cutscenes and stuff, I went outside, killed 2 monsters that were my level and was already drained, so I left. Went back a couple minutes later and joined a party. Absolutely, dreadfully, boring. Left that group and left the instance again. And then I went and did the Hildebrand quests. lol Tried to do 2 different NM's and ended up dying during both. Was irriated and completely over it immediately.

Overall, it's a very dull and mind-numbing experience and completely not meant for solo progression, which sucks because people will drop it after a week and finding a party will be hard.

Just recently, I had some friends finally get online and we made a party and started doing some grinding. It's a bit more bearable with friends, but not by much. We literally just pulled a bunch of mobs and aoe'd them down. Went ok. Got some NM's which was cool even though they're a cluster fuck even when you have other effects turned off. And it's not fun to be trying to kill the NM and getting killed by trash nearby that happens to aggro you for whatever reason.

I know they're going to make changes to it. But as it stands right now, Eureka is a dull and borderline waste of time. There's no structure. And the fact that you have to grind to get to the grind. It makes no sense. It has potential, definitely. And the map is great. But my first impression is, it's awful and boring.
