Do people enjoy Eureka?

[ElazulHP]

There is no way I would be in Eureka unless the Relic wasn't tied to it. So I don't really "enjoy" it as much as tolerate it to get my weapons and armors.

The 1st zone I really liked.
The 2nd zone I never got into and more or less hated every part of it. So much so I don't think I got to 21.

Anemos is ok, no worse than the monotonous loot tunnel scramble the the roulette system is. Pagos should be used as an example of what not to do ever again.

This.

That said, people enjoy Eureka and there's nothing wrong with that. I was never around for its heyday, but when I farmed Diadem for the minions and mount, I found it to be nice even though everyone swore to me it was so bad that it'd shorten my lifespan by five years.

Anemos was okay, even if a bit boring. It's just "S rank style" hunt mobs over and over and over. Other than a few well known FFXI trophy items as random drops, nothing about it felt like FFXI so I don't get why comparisons toward it were ever made. (Putting in EXP loss doesn't take us back to FFXI, it just takes us back to the 1990s. Even then, FFXI was *never* that punishing with its EXP loss, even in the earliest eras of the game.) I don't find the Hunt interesting, so I don't find this interesting either.


I don't know what it is about Pagos, but the mentality is entirely different. In Anemos when you died with people nearby, you would almost always get a raise, without even having to ask. In Pagos, numerous times have I had crowds of people just zoom by my corpse without a care; I would literally have to beg in shouts for a raise to get one. I don't really plan to do anything else in this zone until I'm back at max level; the low-level experience in Eureka is the worst (it was like this in Anemos too)

Yes we call them crazy ppl. All jokes aside Pagos is the worst until Pyros comes out.

[hynaku]

No way I enjoy it. All got from it was very bad headaches.

And then it won't matter if relic progress is locked to Pagos, making the content dead on release...probably.

[Fynlar]

There's enough level 35s floating around in Pagos that it's not quite going to be DoA (you know, unless they make it really bad)



Definitely going to be a sharp decrease compared to Anemos release, though.

[Tizzy_Tormentor]

I dislike how they put the relic in it to make people do it, because if they didn't, it would die faster than Diadem did.

I put a lot of time into this game and I still can't justify stepping into Pagos, Anemos was a dull fate grind, but at least there was some jovial conversation and sense of community, in Pagos, there is none of that, no one wants to talk or have fun, hell I've seen people run past corpses asking for a raise, even on the worst days of Anemos I never saw that happen.

I've just opted to ignore the rest of it, I mean, I see a lot of people express seething hatred for Eureka yet do it anyway, so clearly it can't be that bad.

It really IS that bad (imo). SE just knows that they can get people hook, line and sinker regardless of what they dish out. Personally, I'm not taking the bait this time around.
