Concerns of Eureka future

[mikanana]

Well try doing all relics and gear -.-; if your only 17 your pretty much going to be left behind regardless. If the game is boring taking a break is the best thing to do. Knowing most people who claim to unsubscribe are normally back the next patch update regardless. Eureka has a nice story, and leveling up is not that hard , took me about 3 days when it came out playing around 5 hours, on and off trough out the day. Took about two weeks to get all weps ( before update was made ), now just going in for gear out of boredom. -.-. It really depends on what type of player you are.

Eureka is just quantity over quality. After some time of farming crystals its easy to feel a burn out because nothing is really fun in waiting at fate spots and killing mobs over and over again for muh points.
Alongside SQE should also invest in making Eureka more fun at least.

Your better of as a duo until lvl 10 and then Fate train. More XP that way than parties of 3+. With new nerf on xp it has become a joke. At 10 Fate trains work best and now res and healing for players under 17 are still in high demand. Many players are ignorant and want to come other jobs do to lacking healing or rdm, which is fine...however over all people don't understand that by being lower level in higher tier NM fates their more of a hindrance than a benefit. Example lvl 9 in Pazuzu -.- yeah your better of dead than having MP wasted on you if your DPS. Healers will be prioritized and welcome even if lower levels. Recommended lvl 19-20 otherwise. Tanks lvl 20 would be preferred.

Since I hit 20 in there(sometime ago...I have some 21+ feathers still, and am only missing 7 of the weapons) I just enter Eureka once a day, trying not to burn myself out, for at least 2 hours, and shout that I'm looking for a party...then choose my class once I am in a party to what is needed. More often than not I'm on DRK because they don't have that role filled. But before that, I was a res mage - partly for the achievement, and partly because I could help by bringing people who could do damage back from beyond.

Again it depends what kind of gamer you are -.-;...

Example; I consider my self a casual semi hardcore. I focus on achievements and love relics. Endgame is nice for the story yet I would not really want to do it for every job. I have maybe if I'm lucky 5 hours to play. If a person has a goal ( doing all relics by the way ) I know it will extremely repetitive killing the fun ratio. So yeah First time around can be fun, however based on your style yes it will get boring. After a remake, two expansions, daily roulette, hunts, ect I would think people would understand that this game is repetitive and can have times were it may not be fun. Try doing all relics, from Zodiac ( before nerf )to Animas (in the process need 5 more by the way) to current....you think that was fun for me -.-. I only do things in between patches out of boredom or may 1hr a day now since I've completed just about everything I'm interested at the moment. On the other hand...

Casual players may have less time and may not really want to burn trough content right away either do to personal time, RL , ect. May not want to level up all jobs and really just do it with friends. So would be more fun, however too many spoiled players out there complain that it's not fair to them and in reality just want to be carried or want something for just logging in rather than putting effort.

Most RPG games specially online would be repetitive in one way or another. In a perfect world every run and game would be fun...back to reality yeah not for these types of games. Players will never be satisfied, maybe for a bit...yet once it's done ones everyone will start complaining in one way or another.

really hoping the next zone brings more excitement and new mechanics

Come 5.0, if it stays relevant that long, Eureka will just be a distant memory anyway. It will go the way of everything finite in this game, it will die, but people will probably just do it just for the sake of glamour, since glamour is the real endgame anyway.

[Dragoon4life]

TBH they’ll probably make adjustments to the treasure boxes and dump all the good stuff to the point where you have too much.

[Remedi]

It's definitely a concern, yeah. Once the next tier comes out, Anamos will die off pretty fast, making it very hard to play catch up. They mentioned having plans to help people catch up but not what they are, so right now it's kind of a waiting game. I've still seen some full instnaces though, you may have gotten unlucky on that one.

They mentioned needing to fight specific mobs, I put my money on a return of the animus books for the next step, requiring a mixture of anemos and pagos enemies

That said the concern is real if Anemos will remain devoid of activities

[Rhaja]

Right now I just REALLY want to be able to help a low level farm mobs to get them high enough to benefit from the train. The best I can do is kart them around. I didn't realize how bad this was until trying to help my wife level when she was getting horrid exp from the bulk of the hunts, and completely unable to do more than revive and heal while looking out for angry mobs.

[Sekkei]

Only 9? That's surprising since I've only been seeing full instances since Eureka came out. The only time I've seen dwindling numbers is when the instance has closed itself to new arrivals to get ready for a reset since SE's system has instances not be permanent and constantly open. Whatever remaining fate mobs are left to spawn are usually taken down and then everyone leaves to hop into another instance.

I would like to add to this. Once I got what I wanted out of Eureka, I intentionally de-leveled just so I could help lower leveled players out. Maybe get a low lev party that ran close to the train where we could actually kill mobs that would give us exp. Aside from no one wanting to do that when they could just stand there and do nothing instead, I was only able to delevel to 10, not quite low enough to help out those just starting out but too low to be about to power then through things.

A Party Sync feature is desperately needed. As well as a buff to mob exp or some other method to discourage the NM train. I could be wrong but I dont think the NM train was what the devs intended for this content but until they actually speak up about it, we will never know.
