Eureka CONSTRUCTIVE suggestions thread - no negativity

[Squintina]

So due to the instance maintenance, our numbers dwindled down to 48/144.

And it was GREAT.
We worked more closely in shout chat
No one complained about not being able to target things
People actually said their lag was better
And we had less afkers because when you have so few people even the lazy people help

It was awesome

So my suggestion, make the instance limit smaller and just host more instances. 70 should be alright?

(BTW Thank you for making the NM strength adjust to how many players are in the instance <3 <3 <3 )

Yeah, it's definitely helpful to have them scale. Made things quicker and easier for the 50 and dwindling people that remained in the last instance I was in. We were able to spawn 3 of them and move from 1 to the next. We were cutting it close by the 3rd one, but we did it.

I really enjoy Eureka as it is, having lots of fun with friends while leveling, but it can (should) be improved.

Different ways to obtain Crystals: It's ok to do NMs (FATEs) to farm EXP/Crystals, but I think we might need some other ways to obtain them, like:

- Pick up crystals on the ground, wich will pop around the map randomly, encouraging you to explore, just like the random coffers in Diadem.

- Chain 30 should be more rewarding! Make it drop, at least, 1 Anemos Crystal.

- Dailies: let's give 1 or more dailies with fast-to-do objectives giving few Anemos Crystals and a few EXP. Let's give casuals a chance to farm Relic at their own pace

- Gathering: I think we shouldn't have Gatherers in Eureka (to prevent botting and gatherer massification on an instance), but there could be something similar as Diadem, where you could find random chests. Make it be a shiny light on the ground/wherever, and you pick up some crystals (anemos or protean), that should encourage exploring.

A better party finder:The "looking for party" status is quite hidden.
We should have a visible option in our UI that if you didn't have party, you could click the "looking for party" button and let you choose different options:
- Normal looking for party.
- Auto-form looking for party. This would form a party of 4-8 members automatically with members around the same level.

Raising: We need items to raise other players.
I know we can get Phoenix feathers in places like PotD, but it would be cool to have some kind of Tonic sold by a NPC inside Eureka.

There's currently nothing to do with duplicate glamour and housing items. My suggestion - make them desynthesiable, but only while in Eureka. Drops can be sparkles or the clear demimateria with a small chance at crystals. To me it'll be better than just vendoring them.

an entire thread trying to fix something that A. shouldve came out right after making us wait this

B. isn't our job but you want to sit here and pretend like you if you give advice they'll listen.

No they'll notice their subs dropped so they'll HAVE TO.

No they'll notice their subs dropped so they'll HAVE TO.

The sad reality is: I see MASSIVE amount of people running into there, the queue NPC is so crowded that it's a challenge to find him.
There won't be a sub drop. Almost everyone I talked to hates the place but they are desperately grinding for some reward, like good little addicts do.

It appears that SE knows their playerbase too well. They managed to put in almost 0 effort (barring the tech team) and got great participation, making them think that this is good content. >.<

If only they could give us solo challenge like the artifact skin but better tailored for each job......

Not a fan of sth like that. It eats way too much DEV time for a tiny subsection of the playerbase.
Lets face it: MMOs are not solo games, while some solo-ability is needed and appreciated, there is no point in turning it into a fleshed out, challenging solo experience for every spec. To be blunt: DEVs have way bigger fish to fry that would benefit a lot more players.

That is a word that needs to be brought up more often.

The rush for the reward.

I’m sure it baked into this, even if its not asking for our rl money for the lockboxes directly.

More input, lvl 15 now.

Still have not lost exp from dying and I hope it stays that way.

I initially thought it was silly to want a PF in eureka cause you can make a pf before joining, but if someone leaves it's hard to get more with a common goal.

Wish I could trade the junk we get for GC seals or something. I'm not getting seals cause I've not been doing other content, and all this gear is clogging my inventory.

If I see one more cabinet...

Making some good friends to grind with along the way, but the zerg is still so annoying.
