Why going back 10 years doing Korean Farming Content?

I actually really like eureka. I for one thought 14 was boring until eureka came out. I hope they don't change anything. People just need to relax and give it a chance. This only came out yesterday. People are just quick to judge things these days.

Ahahahah no. This makes FF14 far more boring than it should be. I liked doing everything before this. Even the blasted Anima grind. The content I had to do was at least fun. This was boing and monotonous to such a degree you could turn this into FF14 Clicker and there'd be no difference.

Says the person who probably cried when Trump won the election, anyway a change in gameplay methods isn't a bad thing. People wanted more out of relic, they got that. People wanted more FFXI-ish gameplay. They have that. It may not be perfect, but remember that this game is constantly being updated and refined. What may not be perfect now is highly likely to be patched in the near future.

This isn't a change in gameplay method. It devolved into a whack-a-Mol.

I think people may have trouble communicating their desires with 100% clarity, but I maintain that I've never seen anyone asking for a boring, mindless, difficult grind.

Considering that every existing grind in FFXIV is aready boring and mindless, all they did was add difficulty. Which is enough to feel "new" in the FFXIV universe even if it's an old MMO concept.
The simple fact that it doesn't involve tomestones makes it appealing for me.

I also would like to add another point to the discussion:

GRIND. I like grind, I loved the grind part in FFXI because it was calm and relaxing - you went there, you took 6 people with you, found a free spot, grinded slowly and you got exp. It was especially relaxing as a caster or a healer since you just threw a regen and a cure here and there and some Mana Burst as a caster.

The problem with Eureka as it is for the moment it's you don't even have the "calm" FFXI side because of the actual game battle system and the way the mobs hit, makes you constantly focused on healing+dps like crazy, burning all MP in loop.
It's just they glued a grind exp party content to a system that is not designed with it and the result is kinda detached. At a certain point I was throwing Lustrate over Lustrate and the tank HP was going from 90% to 30% and back to 90% and so on and so on.

Can we go back to the anima grind, that was much more play with friends friendly

Even then, about players communicating desires with clarity, the single most stated sentiment on the forums while they were developing this content was "don't make it Diadem."

...yeah. :/

This is not Korean farming.

Clueless players are doing it Korean style by farming low-level, killing fast and leveling slower.


It's so frustrating to watch all the hate threads, when nobody took a deep breath and 5 minutes of their time to understand that they were playing Eureka wrong.


You have to fight mobs 5 levels above you.
Find a nice camp, farm these, and if you accidentally link another mob, Sleep/bind/stunn it.
As your level rises, drops will rise as well.


Crying won't fix it. Stand and improve.

Tell that to George Washington, man!

People asked for it. They wanted some XI type of content. Here it is enjoy.
Eureka is exactly what I thought it's gonna be.
Relics were always about grind and they will always be.
At least now we got a new pretty big map and some Lore to grind in.

I havn't tried Eureka yet as RL havn't premited me but you have a good point. People are very quick to judge. Give it a week and then give your opinion.
