Eureka isn't that bad, had some fun today

[Devils_Lawyer]

It seems a lot of people went into Eureka expecting to plow through it like all the other content in the game. Its meant to take a long time.... take your time, there is no rush.

I think your missunderstanding why people are upset.

We alrdy had 2 relic grinds previously so people knew it was going to be grindy, but during ARR and HW those grinds had options, if you were light grinding you could choose different types of content from dungeons to trials to raids heck even fates to collect it.

I would have no problem grinding for the relic for years to come aslong as the grinding had options and was actually enjoyable but this is about as mind numbing as its going to get cause the only options we have is standing still killing mobs over and over.

And sure some people may enjoy it right now, but thats cause they have been doing it for a few hours, compare this to 40, 50 or 100 hours down the road.

Most of us were just hoping it wasn't going to be diadem 3.0

after they saying that killing rare enemies would be required to get the relic did you really thought it was going to be a 100% drop that easy? on a content that is by design made to be long and grindy?

"no rush take your time"

"take time to explore"

Explore what? I went across the entire map at lvl 1.

Ontop of that there is nothing to do but take your time because after killing 200 of the same mob people stop trying as hard and a simple mob takes forever to kill.

Same recycled monster skins, with a stupidly simple pokemon element system, with virtually no mechanics except big aoes done by NM.

You are the reason we get lack luster content cause it comes out and you find any excuse to make it worth while. Unsubbed.

This bear is awesome, we died a lot, we chat a little...
at least it's better than the random 4 man dungeons....

another thread? You already made one on the same topic

That's like saying we don't get much raid content because you can't do it.

It isn't bad on paper. It's just loot-less and depends on zerging too much. Fix those 2 problems and you'd be seeing Eureka linkshells, statics, and PFs popping all over the place.

The content isnt to bad whats bad is I have been playing for 6 hours and have 24 protean crystals, I need 4300 for my full set which is I 350. I have crafted dark knight gear better than this already

Until someone pointed it out to me, I didn't realize that you can trade Anemos crystals to Gerolt for 2-5 Protean Crystals each.

I had a stack of ~400 Anemos crystals, which turned into 1300 Protean crystals, which was enough for the +2 weapon.

I can craft the i350, and I have the tome i360, but I do like how the i345 BLM relic has crit + spell speed!!

This - I wish normal enemies would occasionally actually drop some useful loot, perhaps something like crafting mats or sellable/desynthable gear!! Right now they only drop loot box lockbox tokens, and the boxes only seem to have unsellable/untradable items and fireworks

[Nihility]

the only problem i see with it is there is almost zero reason to do anything but NM zerg train

even the lowest level one is worth more experience than a chain 30
anemos crystals from NM are way more abundant than trying to chain for protean
you only get loot boxes from the NMs
and the random nostalgia drops are only from NMs

they really need to just put in some random repeatable quests in the hub.
"go find the sparkly point" or "kill X mobs" that give some exp/protean/boxes

i do enjoy the danger aspect of it and understand the accelerating nature of the grind. getting crystals will probably be super fast once you've done the grind once
