Unsubscribed today Eureka killed it

[ManuelBravo]

I think you are missing his point. Its about the fact that since 2.0 they havent really done anything to innovate and expand upon the game as a whole. New content =/= innovation. If they are unhappy with the game, something that was promised to be dynamic and entertaining not living up to a quarter of the billing IS enough to make someone leave. Especially if they have a prolonged sense of stagnation.

Let break up eureka for a bit,

Innovate; Elemental weakness/advantages , NM options for faster leveling, lvl 300 sync to make it fair though there is a greater reward it seems after +2 items.

Personally I found it pretty fun specially learning about how weather and time windows work for NM appearance, old challenges where you have to watch your surrounding. If anything SE has spoiled players by nerfing content. I love it it actually challenging and makes people use their common sense and judgement. If people judge content in 2 days without stepping back and looking at the bigger picture then rage quit is just in my opinion childish. It's different that just same dungeons if anything it's a nice change.

I mean it's only the first stage anyways, currently almost 10., I want to reach level 20 in there for now and farm all weps. If your in a decent group time goes by fast and rewards are not that bad. If anything I'm pretty sure once people break the +2 option for next phase things will really begin to change where people may complain it's not fair. After all FFXIV is pretty much nerfed do to so much complaining over things that are already easy enough.

my sub ended today for some reasons.

-tryed sigma savage 1.0 with randoms to get rid of my bonus status for weeks. still not completed it. sure im not best but how can it be that my random groups are always play like there is a braindead zombie behind the computer/ps4?
-didnt found a german static with a free slot for smn to solve it.
-i liked it to grind the lvl 60 animas for a good weapon all i have now since stormblood is out is for each class own crafted weapons. i cant buy the weapons for yellow stones cuz i need them for gear. (i have all on 70)
-my hope was the new relic to get good weapons. well, they are trash atm and the way to get them is zero fun to play.

i take a break. but i have a L house in one of the new wards i dont want to lose it so since i waited/played so long to get one. so im sure my break will not be for a long time.
im really really disappointed about eureka the only good thing in this contet is the map himself. its pretty beautiful but like i said. zero fun to play in it. i will take my eyes open for another cool game and if i found a perfect game for me. bye bye L house and ff14.

Stop with this "it's optional content" nonsense. For a casual player, someone who don't have a huge amount of playtime, yeah sure it is. But for all the players that aren't pleased with Eureka, it's not optional AT ALL since it's the only new content that have at their disposal or else they must do again the same things they are already doing for weeks and months.

So, no, it's not optional. And yes, there are good reasons to not be OK with this.

Actually, Eureka is not a main quest. It’s completely optional.

[ManuelBravo]

Are you? The game was released 1600 days ago, that's full days. I doubt you have much over 1000 yourself if you played it every day since.

Been on since v1 and yes between school, jobs, and RL this is my me time. Been loyal since day one beta. SO yeah I can back it up.

This entire game is completely optional, if we're gonna look at it that way. Living is completely optional. Nobody is forcing you to do that.
Still, if we have it, even if it's "optional", why not make a GAME actually fun? "It's a MMO" doesn't cut it as an answer because that's the biggest strawman response.

yes, it is optional.

"the only new content that have at their disposal"

disagree on how fun it is all day, there are tons of weapons better than the new relic at the moment, but Eureka and FFxiv does not have to be taking up 100% of your free time.

This entire game is completely optional, if we're gonna look at it that way.

yes, everyone should be looking at it that way. o_o

So only people who have been there since the early beta days of 1.0 can have an opinion? Wow. You must not get out much.

I agree, things should be fun, and varied, but trying to make an argument based on the idea that something isn't optional when in fact it 100% is...it's just kinda silly.

[Solarra]

I have over 478 days of playtime , not days subscribed that is hours logged

Just think that might have been misread by some people.

Sorry to see you go, OP.

Yes and no. Main quests lead to all the content so you’re gimping yourself by not progressing those. People are acting like Eureka has to be progressed when it is 100% optional and leads to nothing. Weapons in there are even weaker so you’re severely gimping yourself.
