Unsubscribed today Eureka killed it

[Metsonm]

I kinda wonder how much of the negative feedback is from players expecting something other than the first stage of the relic grind.

Probably, but I also don't think it's fair to blame people for expecting that. We all knew going in that this was going to tie into the relics, but the pomp that Yoshi paraded this through the live letters with made us expect something eexciting and fresh.

Eureka was meant to be new content. What we got was mindlessly burning down groups like dungeon trash until a fate spawns. What we got was Diadem with an elemental mechanic that doesn't add anything; you just match it with the tank, counter it with the DPS and stick to one area. The only time to swap is when you change area, but it's so quick and cheap that it means nothing. It's still just FATE runs. The only difference is now you have levels so you can't even go in with your friends that played earlier.

I feel the problem was that people expected something new because it was advertised as something new. And it NOT being something new struck people with an epiphany that we're probably not getting something new for a good while. I stopped playing at the start of the patch after my static exploded. I was looking at my gear and looking at having to pug things with learning groups that will abandon after one wipe or sit through static try-outs and saw myself on that treadmill that I've been on for two and a half years. I kept my sub because I was probably gong to come back for Eureka and have this fresh content to do.

Eureka was not this content.

If we're talking expectations and disappointment, I expected a more solo-friendly experience. I expected a grind, sure, but one better hidden than we got. I expected content that matched what Yoshi laid out.

But yeah, maybe I was wrong to expect things. Maybe that's on me. But it's not a coincidence that I went into Eureka for the first time yesterday evening and, before the night was through, had cancelled my sub.

You can't blame the people expecting what development told them.
They flat out said it would be solo friendly and be new, that is what we expected, that is not what we got. How can anyone blame the player base for expecting what we where told?
