my 2 cents that no one asked for, as someone who rly enjoyed bozja (only dipped my toes into eureka, what i did was was neat tho):

yeah, mid is the right word here. it's not Bad, but i've got my gripes. the thing i miss the most is a CLL/dalriada-like event on a timer. that was my favourite part of bozja, so i'm really sad to see it's not here. also wish we could tp to CEs like in bozja but that's more of a minor issue to me. i don't mind the running, but it gets annoying with how fast things are spawning. i feel like if i don't just hang out at the aetherytes the whole time i won't make it. it feels bad having to ditch a fate early because i have to make sure i can run to the CE on time.

the CEs themselves are a bit underwhelming..?? maybe its because it feels like its the same 5 are going off in rotation right now, but they're kind of just... tiring? the big jar has me getting fatigued like 75% through it because the mechs don't even change. its just the same exact onslaught for minutes straight. makes me want to start eating the hits so it can just end already. maybe this will change once ppl have a bunch of stuff maxed out, but right now it's so bad. the rest are fine for the most part.

i wasnt around for the heyday of BA/DR, so i don't know how they were handled by players on release, but seeing as they are now, it feels like tower is gonna go the same way. locked to coordinated discord groups that feel inaccessible to a newcomer to the game mode. hence why i'm really missing a CLL/dal equivalent.

i have not much to say on the phantom job system, haven't had much chance to explore the different ones yet. not that interesting thus far, though.

in general it's kind of just.. Fine. i probably won't be coming back to this for the lols later down the line like i do with bozja. there's still another area (that we won't be seeing for another year... zzzzzz) so there's still chance for more interesting things to come, but my hopes are appropriately tempered. if u take anything from this it's that i miss her (CLL/dal)
