Observations From Someone Trying Eureka for the First Time in 2022

Levels? Yes.
Relic crystals? Depends.

NMs strength is based on the number of existing players in the entire instance. Which means any players & bots that are not joining for the kill would essentially translate to more legwork for the NM sweeper to kill the NM. This can be nigh impossible for folks that are new, doesn’t have much elemental bonus stacked, attempting high-end NMs, poor LAs, or combination of those.

Also bots seems to be flooding in not to only farm bunnies, but also farming moist & heat-warped boxes.

Just saying, I have never ever ever in my 3 full Eureka runs on 3 different characters ever encountered the issue where bots actively prevented me from progging in Eureka.

Actually I've had more issues with certain infamous players who disobey the NM PT courtesy than bots.

Fair enough. Like I said, it really depends. I myself never encountered those issues in my quest to get all jobs’ glowy relics but I did encountered a few that came across said problems. All they needed to do was to help themselves with some cheap, useful LAs (Bloodbath L trivializes a lot things) and/or form a party themselves. Now if you’re a solo player in an instance of 25 players consisting of 2 bot parties, 8 random & yourself? That’s a different story. Been there before, with full elemental gear & proper LA. Only 1 other random helped me with NMs and that took excruciatingly long it wasn’t worth of the effort to spawn more—I exited right after. If somebody not as prepared as I was, that NM would’ve been way harsher to deal with.

Early puller? That’s sucks but there’s nothing we can do about them. They’re arbitrary and has always been. I wish SE make more effort to take care of the bots, though.
