What's your first impression of Eureka?

[Skeldron]

Yeah, no. I'm talking about *combat* content that is reasonably soloed, not "HELM" crap.

Job quests are extremely finite and don't really count. When Eureka hit, my job quests were all 100% done.



I can and will criticize a MMO that forces you to group to do anything. Again, it was a valid critique many people had with FFXI in the early going and is why it was eventually eased up on.

Than u are playing the wrong king of game rofl NOONE is forcing u to make a grp

Sorry, but soloing trash equal to your level for 50ish exp a pop does not count as solo content.

So u are basically telling developers do more solo content, forget about players that want to do it as a group
The grind is not my cup of the either .. i dont like ALOT of things in eureka .. but complaining about you are not as fast as a solo player as u would be in a grp is just dumb, sry

[Fynlar]

fuck players that wanna grp

Please point out where it was I said that. (Good luck.)

I don't know about you, but what I expect when something is billed as potential "solo" content, is for the progress when solo to actually be reasonable. What we have now in Eureka... isn't.

When did ANYONE EVER say its solo content? they even stated ppl have to work together in eureka

[Derio]

I think people just need solo or small group alternatives.

Right now the best and most efficient way to level is to join the NM Train.

I think when they were talking about solo, they were talking about you are able to solo queue in. Not the fact that you can complete things solo.

This is the best they could have come up with after all the 'not ready yet" notifications?
What the heck has happened to the immersion and depth shown in the likes of Heavensward?

I appreciate it's not an expansion. Heck, sludge progress with minimal innovation is the opposite - a reduction.

I am simply astonished that a team rightly lauded for past content could come out with this paper thin level of interest.

Content, no matter the end result, should be interesting, should at times amaze you. There are parts of this game that still have me revisiting them in the never ending story book.
This long for awaited content makes me wish they had taken a lot longer before dumping it on the player base.

Ok, I haven't delved very far in this, but, from your point of view, how reasonable is it to do PotD solo as opposed to a light party ? Because it was also billed as "potential solo content", but going solo means that one death and you're out.

Thank you, Sir.

These are my thoughts about Eureka.

I feel there need to be better returns for soloing. I think the group should be the optimal way to get experience and crystals but I think you should get just enough via soloing to make it worth the effort. Sometimes I just want to do something for a half an hour.

I also feel there should be better returns when grouping for grinding. Maybe a level sync so everyone gets nice experience while sitting in an area grinding away like the MMO's of yesteryear.

The Nm train is currently the more effective way for experience but this can be dull and awful until your higher level because you have to just stand there and watch. Some argue that any dps is better than nothing but I disagree. I think I am costing the group more in heals and resses than my 22dps contribution.

When I first entered and tried Eureka I was convinced I'd never do it again but the more I do it the more I need to do it. It's an addiction! When I can contribute to the kills it is really kinda fun and I like the idea you need to sneak and weave your way around things or suffer very real consequences. The community is also bonding much more than when I do dungeons. I see people risking their characters to go ress strangers and offer help in general. I think Eureka overall is also very popular. On Excalibur, there are over a hundred people around the entrance NPC and the NN is all abuzz about strats and stories from Eureka so people seem to like it despite some problems.

I am hoping they add more NM spawns in future updates and I gotta say, my Alienware still kicks ass.
