Eureka - share your horror story and deaths

[MuseTraveller]

Being alone and getting no help because I was busy in RL and was unable to grind 24/7 at release, I'm just running around alone at lvl 1 while everybody is camping the 20+ zones.

But even now, it's pretty much impossible to do since I work full time and can only play 4-5 hours in the evening and you need to 24/7 grind it. Guess Eureka was aimed for the 'nolife' players and not something for casual so I should just continue lvl my last few DPS jobs trough roulette's in the evening and skip this Eureka chizzle.

I play about 2-3 hours a day at best and I'm at level 12 about to hit 13... fairly sure I have life tho.
Shout inside for low level train or group with lvl 5ish people, or ask friends to come with you. I went to help level 1 and 3 in the weekend with some friends. We spawned the low level NMs to help them up. They are now pass level 9 as far as I know. It's not as bad. People do help one another from what I've seen over the last few days.

Oh yeah... primary healing in Eureka and it's like... I need to recover MP from all the ressing but if I hit assize, all mobs will magically turn to me as if I've done the worst pun in the world.
Bit of an ass move if you ask me.

I keep a stack of max elixirs on me to help with this.

They won't help much but it will give you enough mp to cast a raise or a couple of aoe heals immediately after being raised.

Not everybody is as nice as you though.
Of course there are people that help but the change is much lower vs people who don't help. People will only help if it's beneficial for them. Those high lvl players are only interested in those 20+ zones and NM's.

Hell even asking for a raise and you get a reply 'L2P nab' and they won't raise you, but then I point them on that title you can get for raising people and suddenly I was raised.

There aren't really good FC's on Omega and the 5 friends I had stopped playing months ago. I have 1 friend but it's been + 2 weeks now last time we talked / played, she's very busy with University.
So there's that.

I often do stuff for randoms and help them, you seem to do that too but people helping others is really something that doesn't happen often. At least not on EU/US datacenter.

That's a bummer ... :/ if you were in Primal I'd have helped out. I've so far seen mostly helpful folks in my runs, both with and without a party. Maybe I was really lucky. The last party I was in on my own offered to carry the lowbies on their mounts when we went to the higher level NM areas. It was really sweet. I'd suggest to just leave and go in another instance if you happened to be with a sour party.

Being a healer with those sneks. ;_;

Pretty sure the entire train that got completely derailed over the weekend by Hazmat should be posting in here. Apparently a healer hero kept them all from losing exp.

I was there before it spawned. My timer ran out during the farm. Lucky I got off the train in time. Would've love to have seen that 1st hand.

There were so many people at cyclops/poly that the draw in was pulling me in when I was halfway to dodging it at a couple seconds delay when he was already half way into his cast making it impossible to actually dodge his swing even if you moved immediately. Madness.

Another time Fafnir used Heavensfall and the aoe circles literally were culled. Everyone in melee range on his left flank got flattened by it because the telegraphs didn't load.

Lol I was in that tragesty of an instance with that train. No one was attacking the blue boss and a lot of people were lower leveled. All seemed lost, dozens of dead bodies on the floor shouting for help. It was dark and grim, no one wanted to lose their EXP. Then our savior came, I believe he was a RDM actually, and then the rezzing began. We tried again and bet the boss. Though our Savior left us because we were scrubs compared to him and he wanted to find an instance that had a chance of beating Pazazu :,)

THIS. I spend 1-2 hours in Eureka per day and I'm almost 14. there are many helpful groups, and the NM train it seems has split up now to accommodate different level ranges. PF helped me a lot with this too, I still see people forming 1-5 exp grinding groups. once you're high lvl enough, learn from shout where the train is, join it, and ask if any party has room for you. I've been "adopted" by a several high-level parties (all above 10 except me) that basically carried me through several NMs. I didn't get loot at first due to the level gaps but in 1 hour I gained at least a level.

I have nothing to share personally at this time. But man, just watching other Bards use Foe's at NMs surrounded by trash mobs... You are literally jumping into a tank of sharks covered in blood and raw meat.
