Respectfully The Lack of a Party Level Sync option in Eureka is Upsetting...

[Aster_E]

We appear to have struck a nerve on that idea, but let's move on.

Manuel, would you not agree that what one person may like may not necessarily be a good thing? Would you agree that what a few people might like might not be liked by dozens or more of others?

With that in mind, look closely at Eureka as a whole:

- Anemos was easy when people ran trains through it and socialized with one another. There were minions, a mount, and some glam that was stupid easy to collect. Before the train, Anemos was painful for many people for about a day. The idea of party sync was raised, a feature brought into FFXI ages ago, and existed in other MMOs prior to that point, but Yoshi responded in a way where he didn't seem to understand fully.
- Pagos was a pain on release, and continued to be for so long because Yoshi killed the train, then let it come back slowly only for it to turn out we needed to grind light for the relics, and then the desired loot was locked behind yet another rng-based box from rng-based mobs, and that's not counting the heavy dose of rng to get the loot you wanted instead of more materia. Also the Bunny FATEs that didn't give exp or light, only rewards a minority of people cared about, was eventually buffed (last night) to include exp and weekly tomes, but still no light. Party Sync was brought up again, and still no dice.
- Pyros has even more loot people want. The weapons are even more rng to get the stats you want. The monsters are still beefy, and respawn rather quickly. Largely, so many people do not enjoy this kind of content, and do not appreciate the content lock on such loot as new furnishings or hairstyles. Oh, and we're bringing up party sync again, because take a wild guess what people have been wanting since the very start of Eureka, despite not liking this form of content?
- Many of us have no faith in Gi/Geos, and no desire to see this kind of content again in 5.0.

This is much of what we're saying, time and again. This is why people are realizing that the best thing they can do is not play this content, but the feedback has to keep coming even then or else the devs are blind as to why people are abandoning a form of content. The lack of a Party Sync feature is a major complaint against Eureka, a legitimate one, which has been a constant no matter how many other things were present or lacking that we disapproved of. The full Eureka experience would have benefited so much from implementing this feature, but we're not getting it.

Sigh... by quality friends I mean people who can read and comprehend common sense.

What does quality friends have to do with reading comprehension or with common sense?

Do to the fact that common sense is a dying trait people have lives and can't coordinate to do things

Honey, this conversation has nothing to do with common sense. You are still completely missing the point.

Sooo... because say 1 friend might just be busy for a week (like one of mine this week) that means I and the others we group with should all just not do anything in the game?

I have zero issue waiting for my friends if they ask, especially for something like Eureka (well, when I was actually doing Eureka). It’s not like it’s going anywhere! But, considering said comment that my comment was made towards was followed up by “people who want the sync are just people who are looking for excuses to team up instead of getting things done”, I think it’s still applicable.

Party level sync was talking about and said it could be added. It even existed in FF11. Why it's not in Eureka is beyond me. It's the reason many in my FC ended up not doing Eureka because they got in late and can't party with friends. Whats the point in playing a game when you can't play with your friends?

Which is what I’ve been arguing for.

This is what I am referring to about thinking outside the box. You use fate as a sync as mob dies to get faster lights. Kill at normal levels party syncs as it dies everyone gets credit and chance at lights including new born star based on weather and adaptation. You get better xp and lights. have you ever wondered why people of high levels are killing mobs around bunny fates? It's light farming, can get 6-9 bars in an hour or so. Same as complete books and rack up the xp than waiting afk for NM train like most people do. Way faster than forge or Dragon killing.

That isn't thinking outside the box. It's a workaround to an otherwise poorly designed piece of content. You're now limited to two camps across an entire map we're supposed to explore. I'm not arguing against its efficiency, but the fact it was never designed with that intent nor is it in any way a proper level sync option. It's merely people finding a solution to incompetence.

What do you think a work around is....or should I define what thinking outside the box means -.-/ ...I just gave you the answer by the way.

Anemos was bad but it was bearable. Pyros and Pagos are just horrible and IMO they should have nerfed Pagos more than they did.

Team lvl sync please! Sync up or down would be great. Much like City of Heroes! ♥

[Fynlar]

You do know you can solo and level up pretty fast on solo chains right?

ahahaha

no wait

ahahahahahahahahahaha

[Zumi]

They already make you level sync for fates.

I think this is what really killed Eureka for me. I had some FCmates say, "Hey, let's all do Eureka!" and figured, "Sure, why not. It sounds like a shitty grind, but a shitty grind with friends can still be a good time!" but then I got there and they're like, "Okay, we're going to the level 20 area. You hang out by yourself in this low level area! Maybe if you grind enough you can join us in a few days."
