Eureka unplayable at times

[RLofOBFL]

There are times I randomly dc instantly without a hint of lag. Once this happened at the end of Pazuzu so I got no credit.

There are even times where I LITERALLY got sent to another timeline. My friends would have long killed a fate but I would still be lag attacking it and from my perspective so was everyone else but in reality everyone was already long done with the fate and moved elsewhere. Once it persisted for over 5 minutes. It is a very weird experience. It has happened to me 5 times so far and in my almost 3 years playing, that has NEVER happened before. It's like I am desynched with the server or something.

On top of all that I get sick of bosses and party members vanishing and the abnormal lag.

Otherwise Eureka is pretty fun.

It all just makes me wonder if this dev team even cares about this game currently and just haven't found a nice gig to collect a paycheck from.

Being killed by invisible fate boss really sucks had 2 of them kill me today because of being invisible. Second one when went invisible it did a aoe attack no one could see then next thing saw was 90% of players at the fate was dead. To me eureka is very bad idea and needs fixed fast.

I am farily certain their Eureka image was: Groups gather in grind parties and slowly level, giving people something to do till the next patch hits.

What they didn't anticipate is the NM train. Henche the game being absolutely not prepared for that.

If they did not want it to be people killing all the NMs then why did they give them so much exp and loot and make it possible to spawn them by just killing a certain amount of monsters? They could have simply made the NM spawn at a certain time or give it way more different ways to spawn. So its kinda their own fault when they put so much behind it and do nothing to prevent such a zerg.

At the same time I kinda wonder if people would still even do it if it was so slow.

About topic: It was really annoying to be in an instance that was constantly lagging and DC symbols on everyone nearly all the time. Killing stuff was horrible and I even got a DC right when a NM died so I got nothing..Its utterly frustating on top of being boring. Not a good combination.

I have a much easier time adapting on PS4 than on PC, if you must know. My near launch PS4 loads everything fine and I have yet to disconnect after a NM spawn, though there is still noticeable lag after the NM dies and rewards are slotted to the whole server who participated. I had to adjust my PC client to cull people though, due to the client freezing from strain.

Ultimately though, it's all a set of problems that clearly weren't planned for for some reason.

There is no excuse for SE not anticipating the NM train as players have exhibited this type of behavior time and again. With limited and timed resources players are always bound to massively group to play.

Even if they changed the spawning technique players would still mass together to kill the NM as it is the most efficient way to play. Ixion and Odin are examples of this.

This is exactly what happens to me. Sometimes I see the boss at 50% when in reality it's already dead. Eureka is fun but this situation sucks beyond limits.

If they were anticipating this I see no reason for the Eureka instance player limit being that high. The game takes a massive nosedive, no matter how good your hardware is if there are too many things happening on screen. The object culling and inability to read boss tells, something that is apperantly emphasised in Eureka as opposed to floor indicators, make this an absolutely horrid experience.

In other words: I doubt they have enough of an QA team to scale these things the same way they scale in the live environment. If you only have 24 people QA testing in Eureka you get a very different experience.

It's not as bad as you think on PS4. Do the mobs disappear yes but what you just described is pretty much how it is on PS4 not really worse or no less.
