What's your first impression of Eureka?

[Neophyte]

I like those my heads/hand hurts posts.
Ppl (should) press like 30-50 buttons a minute whatever they're doing, wherever they are.
Then there are slightly different mechanics and/or downtimes, with a handfull encounters where those make things interesting, but 80% of those are not "farmable" anyway until late in patch or even done by a huge amount of players. That's it.

If I choose to do something for like 1-2h, I don't see why my hands or head should hurt less after ex primal farm, A1s/A9s farm for HW relic, hidden canals farm, things like tank mount farms in whatever content and pretty much every other stuff....
than after hitting higher level monsters nearby NM spawn locations and then doing those.
Most of the difference are rewards/what you're going for and the amount of slackers slowing your progress, while you spam your buttons (hopefully in an optimal way) and talk to people in discord. My hands dont feel a difference and my head is somewhere else anyway mostly.
Pretty much like MH:W after few hundred hours and now farming for small/big crowns. You only do such stuff if you kind of enjoy the core game, which obv. many ppl dont seem to like here and they realize that on every new content.

Sure they can add many things ppl mentioned here to mix things a litle bit up. But an escort mission, daily hunts, stuff similar to PotD pomanders or more rewards wont turn hate into love, lol.

You can join higher level parties. We had a lvl3 Scholar yesterday and we were all lv 8-9, we killed stuff and did some NMs and the Scholar leveled up to lv6 in an hour. There's space for everyone if they accept you, and so far you can go to higher level parties as a healer, since you will heal the same numbers no matter your level.

If you don't have a healer, then yeah, you might need to level up with people from your level. Shout or make a PF with people around your level, and solved.
Still, with a party of 4 you can level up fast and do all NMs without any problem. There's no need to be 8 members!

Every content gets old when time passes, like new PVP maps for example, when the first day the queue is 5 minutes, and weeks after it takes hours to pop.



Gear will always be outdated. Every single relic was outdated. Raid gear will always be the top one, we knew that since 2.0.

And it's not Diadem, not even close. In Eureka you have your own level, and NMs spawns when you pop them (not just random FATEs like Diadem).

And it might look pretty simple, but you can use that to summarize FFXIV's content as well; "it's all about leveling up and gear up, this is so boring!"


Maybe the problem is that you don't like the game? What do you expect from an MMORPG, or what did you want Eureka to be?

No, relic weapon has always been on par with the highest common and later before new raid comes out, on par on the current weapon. This one came out subpar below crafted, So you have crafted, trial, and time limited tomestone better then it (when it should be the same as the time limited tomestone on release) the final stages for everything should been i360, it was flat out released outdated, I second the post that asked you "So uh, how much are you getting paid to shill this? " I can go buy a i350 weapon right now, take 2 secs for me pull it off the mb, and have it outperform your time sink that takes too much time weapon. I also get a single job where I have 15 I levels higher then it when this outdated content was released.

It is diadem 3.0 you are just forcing your self to say otherwise because you think it is cool to disagree with the mass for "memes" as you kindly put it.

They released outdated gear in a no content "content place" that was delayed for no reason. Expect the majority not to be happy. Take your meme excuse somewhere else

Re: gear levels, I do feel like they postponed the content but didn't adjust the item levels appropriately. I like to think that when the next patch hits we'll see weapons more on-par with what other content has to offer.
But maybe I'm just an optimistic soul who fell in love with the BLM weapon stats after two tomestone tiers with Determination on them.

So far it feels like they just added an exp bar to Diadem 1, back to dino island, also 1300 proteans for +2 weapon upgrade (not even the last, not even including armor) is quite a grind.

It's soul sucking. I hate the no mount thing until X. My issue is the mobs and the loss of exp when going there. There's so many mobs that it's really hard not to die when you're running about. I'm lvl 5 and I think I'll cry at when the exp loss hits at lvl 6. Don't get me started on the level loss. It also feels wrong grinding mobs when I have classes that aren't lvl 70 yet. It feels like that's just exp going down the drain (yeah, I know that sounds crazy.) But....... fairy wing book. Q.Q

I can't remember a patch where relic was relevant. Well, maybe the last patch from the expansion is when Relic gets useful. By that time you should have the raid tomestone weapon, or even the last Raid boss weapon.

And you might think it's useless to do Eureka right now for the low ilvl Relic, but when the next Relic step pops, some of us will be Level 20 full of crystals, and haters will have to catch up a lot and we'll see new crying threads because they didn't even level to 6 in months.


At least this content is interesting enough to gather my friends and kill stuff. It's a good chance to play with them outside raid/extreme farm content, and it's fun enough to keep going on.
Today we will repeat since yesterday was a success (we leveled up a lot) and today we expect to hit lv13 aprox. Things will get easier, farm will be less farm and we'll get to run around the map without getting any aggro :3

I've finally found something I want to play that caps my weekly tomes in one day of play!

All those people saying the rewards aren't worth it, when this gives you something besides waiting on queues for roulettes to cap your tomes.

Every single thing you listed has pauses and breaks. Chain pulling monsters, by its very nature, has zero breaks. If there's a pause your group is trash.

So, yes, after doing my rotation for more than 30 minutes my hands started to cramp. It's primarily from holding down and pumping the shoulder buttons for so long.

Thankfully I've come to the realization that I was playing the game like it was FFXI and not what it actually is: Diadem 3.0. So that won't be a problem tomorrow night.

For clarification, what are you all using to get into parties? Friends? /Shout? PF before and then enter? Make your own in-instance?

clearly you are not understanding what I wrote.

No, relic weapon has always been on par with the highest common and later before new raid comes out, on par on the current weapon.

that is how it always worked

If they do what you said, it will continue to be empty. I have no reason to waste my time on such things, again kettle black you are just here to ague for memes. It will be diadem 3.0 once the new factor wears off.

You could release new things to kill stuff without a 6 month delay, it was very poorly made, this is no content. It is illusion content. Some people do not have time to play 24/7 for level 13 atm

i think the dev forgot to do something for eureka,theyr created eureka,and thats it,forgot to do something with it
