What's your first impression of Eureka?

[Stellafreyja]

It's now been a bit since Eureka launched. I'm now on Spring Break and can finally grind and get my stuff done. Except I can't. Because Eureka is absolutely abysmal in playing catch up. It's difficult to find a group that wants to chain monsters instead of NM farm. There's nothing fun about being underleveled and waiting for an NM to spawn. I can't find enough friends to form a full party (that are my level). A lot of my friends are already LV20 because they weren't busy with school like me. Playing with randoms is boring. I spent 20 mins soloing monsters at my level. 20 mins to gain 7% experience.

My first opinion was that Eureka is dreadfully boring. Then, because I didn't play for a while and I got to watch other people play it. It didn't seem bad at all. But now that I'm actually in game trying it out, it's just as dreadful. Eureka's leveling needs an entire overhaul. The level sync can't come fast enough.

Edit: I wanted to add. I really want to like Eureka. This is my first Relic. I was super excited but now I'm sitting here wondering if I'm even gonna be able to do it.

Edit 2: There's absolutely no reason to lock mounts in Eureka behind LV17. None.
