Please stop making Eureka

[Vaer]

The last zone is probably too far along at this point to just can it. Their dev cycle is probably 2-3 months ahead of actual releases so 4.5 is most likely close or heading to QA/the last zone is almost done at this point and they are shifting more people toward expansion development.

Churning out an expansion in 5 months after last major patch is pretty quick by MMO standards (They've done this twice already, perhaps it might take longer this time?) so I'm guessing they start working on it way ahead of time. They dropped the last Ultimate since they probably need the fight designer for one of the 2 EX primals they usually release, to start working on the new expansion raid or maybe even the first Ultimate for 5.0. Maybe the expansion will have radically different stuff this time but I doubt it.

Eureka in comparison has simple mechanics and mostly just interact with the scaling system already in place since Anemos that are mostly copy and paste from previous stuff so they don't really need an encounter designer for those.

Just hope their new never before seen content/Diadem 3.0 in 5.0 isn't Eureka but in space or something.
