What's your first impression of Eureka?

[Zym]

My first impression: It feels like everything done wrong in an MMO. It just feels bad.

Today was the first day I went in there, because of life being in the way, so I'm obviously late to the party. Don't have anyone to run with at the moment, so doing this place alone as a fresh lvl 1 is just painful. And everyone is so far ahead of me that it's not worth my time now. I feel like I'm missing out just because I couldn't get in there on day one and spend hours doing it.

Guess I'm not getting this relic weapon.

While you say this & I agree, some other players say that :

Eureka is in no way a grind. I hit level 20 and had 7 weapons completed in a week. Finding it boring is one thing, but it is in no way time consuming.

Communication is really bad but truth is, if ppl would stop changing their minds multiple times, maybe we could tally up numbers of whos for it & who isn't but again as some players play more characters than others & some ppl might not be honest in comments & as some claim nothing prove forum represent reality of the player base...While ill stick to my guns & claim that nothing prove that we aren't a majority either.You are not alone in this Zym

P.s: that was my reply

It is more time consuming than some players are willing to spend at it & that's a fact, also not everyone have the same schedule. Some players do it in fear of what will happen afterward on a later date, & while you dont find it time consuming, some might.I find no entertainement in that design for the most part.Back on topic, ""We need better comunication with the Community team""

People who have made it to 20 and no longer have to deal with no parties and unfair "sneak" mechanics (gonna make it! *monster turns around for no reason* blap.. dead) and one shot everything are of course going to feel better about it hence the "it gets better later" crowd.
Numbers on a forum really don't matter. If there's a complaint from more than a few people, it should be looked at ala: "we've seen some negative feedback and are looking into the actual numbers". We don't need an "us vs them" approach either. Some people have problems with it and have no beef with the "I like it" crowd.

Y'all who are enjoying it keep on chugging on and get them rewards. I hope SE looks at the problems the rest of us have presented though, and either responds with "this is how it's going to be" or "we're considering the feedback and have some proposed changes". If this is what relic is gonna be like from now on I'm just gonna stop trying to get it.

Haters are going to hate.
While you are complaining here, I am in one of multiple instance of 144 men (134/144 atm) seeing people helping random players from other server to complete lvl 17 quests.
Went as far as give up a nm spawn just to rez someone who die at quest location.
Complains all you want, I believed Eureka only bring positive effective on FF14 community as a whole.
It brings out the good part of us
Eureka is making the game feels truly like an mmorpg, working together like mmorpg supposed to be

Well your comment right there sure doesn't make me want to do anything different toward you & the content.

No one is forcing anyone to do Eureka, especially when this is just first phase 1 of Eureka.
I am definitely is expecting S/E's make tune adjustment to make it better.
Not sure why people would declare its death on arrival.

You obviously didn't read any of the posts, there is several hundreds of legitimate complains about everything about past experiences, where nothing was properly fixed & so on so on, I'm done typing to you dm & on that note I'm going to bed because, yes sleep is important.

I'll be frank, there is literally, absolutely nothing preventing you from making progress in Eureka in its current form except you, yourself. Especially with how the NA meta developed into what it is currently, not even 1 day after Eureka released thanks to all the datamining, the NA community has created a system that ignores player levels, ignores level disparity, and has created an environment where everyone from 1 to 19 can jump in at any time by themselves and run with the NM train group and gain massive exp and aid from all the other players regardless of anything at all. I have taken numerous friends who tried Eureka late (read: This week) and in a few days they are all 20 and they did exactly as the NA meta decreed: Shout for a party, or make one of your own, level doesn't matter, find the NM train of the other 143 players, and just follow them around and kill NM's. However boring/monotonous/therapeutic/relaxing you find it, we have intentionally created a system that leaves nobody behind ever.

We are the exact opposite of how the JP community has decided to handle Eureka. We really don't care for forming exp grinding parties of people the same level only, that is a quintessential pastime of most JRPG's in history that they are used to and are more than capable of getting the most out of, and there's no debating that their method is the fastest, and best method of tackling Eureka's content, albeit the most restrictive in that they do not ever form parties with any kind of level disparities.

So if you truly ever had any aspiration to make progress in Eureka, you have every tool and power available to you to do it in the NA meta. There is nothing stopping you.

Yes, i read the posts and these "legitimate" complains and this is just phase 1 of Eureka.
There is more to come and more room for improvement.
Why declare its death on arrival?
This sounds like if a number of players doesn't like a content of game and automatically declare entire game's death.
Don'tt tell me you didn'tt see about thread that intend to make Yoship resign just becomes they don'tt like the Eureka?
It is hardly constructive, more like nit-picking
This is like someone who doesn't like PvP and automatically claim Feast is killing the game.
Try that in PvP forum and see how PvP community bounce back and shut in your face.
If you dont like it, dont do it.
I didn't do Diadem myself because I don't like it and that didn't impacting my enjoyment.

Yes, turning crystal is a hassle, it is likely it will be addressed as JP forum is making the same feedback.
Be patient for once?

I am definitely is expecting S/E's make tune adjustment to make it better.

Because they set a precedent with Diadem, which this content is remarkably similar to.
