Midway through Shadowbringers, and Eureka is still in dire need of improvements

[Doozer]

Thankfully, they all look like a glowing anglerfish stretched over a low polygon weapon, so I don't feel pressured to do more than the 3 I already have.

I mean, no one forces you to get or use the fully completed weapons; I got Xiphias specifically because I liked the model and didn't bother upgrading it beyond that because I like it as is. It's the only reason why I ever stepped foot in Eureka (except to go back after to get the Tyrannosaur mount ). I think it's important to look at Relic weapons as committing time to get something you like, not wasting time getting something you don't like because you feel like you have to.

At least for the moment, the current iteration of Eureka is ugly as sin. I don't feel any motivation to labor that hard on something so hideous.

eureka seems to be designed like old school mmorpg where everything is solo grind or get a party and grind until you drop, complete with exp penalty when you die, so its definitely not for everyone yeah.

Eureka is an homage to FFXI in more ways than one.

That said, anyone who is saying that it's currently a grind doesn't know what they're talking about. It's been nerfed into the ground. I completed Pyros in a single week of casual solo play. Pagos took a bit longer, but it wasn't crazy hard.

I'd gladly go in again / more if I didn't have to be synced down.

No other relic content requires this.

Eureka a glorified XP grindfest. Anyone saying they like it has no issue with Korean MMO's that have remarkably similar philosophies that kill MMO's in the US within one month of launch. The actual content is behind a huge grindy wall thhat has severe penalties that some like.

As long as the philosophies of Eureka are kept there then I can care less if some masochist in this thread have fun grinding 60 levels in that place chasing NM's but if you ever apply it outside of Eureka I would unsub because that place is torture.

To the people saying "well I see a lot of people there doing it so it cannot be that bad" then I say "well I see 4 times as many people standing AFK in Limsa Lominsa so clearly that content is more fun then Eureka".

There's a big difference between a game as a whole being based around a grind and a portion of a game being focused around a grind. Only Pagos was overly tedious and that was remedied quite quickly.

A lot of people burned themselves out on Eureka because they simply did not pace themselves or recognise that it was a long term project, not something to rush in a matter of days.

The main issue I have with it is that they didn't devise an alternative route. The nerfs help but it's just not the same. At least they're future-proofing the Bozja instance better.

You seem to be on a Eureka-themed rampage, so I'll say to you what I said to you in the other thread about Eureka: Your experiences are not universal. I don't play Korean MMOs like that, but I felt the time I spent in Eureka was worth what I got out of it.

You really don't need to keep speaking for everyone on whether they like Eureka or what other things they must clearly enjoy putting up with.

(Also, as a note, the phrase is "I couldn't care less". "I could care less" implies you do care because, well, you could care less. Just saying.)

Oh poor thing you didn't likey. It's ok you don't have too.

Yeah. I didn't really like it overall but...I'm certainly not going to try to speak for everyone, nor should they (or anyone really). Some like it, some don't. Such is life.
