Eureka CONSTRUCTIVE suggestions thread - no negativity

On a first impression standpoint they have kinda gone in the wrong direction, and it's really hurting adoption for the content. If you know something is going to be a massive grind fest, fine make that far away goal post amazing looking. If you know your reward is going to be trivial... fine, make the journey to said goal post short and sweet. Problem is its an incredibly far away goal post.... and its ugly.

Would have been nice to have gathering like Diadem. I do like it a lot more than diadem and it fixes a ton of issues I had with diadem. I like how there are only NM fates. I think that the fates should spawn more often though, and that there should be more ways to get lockboxes.

But I'm also on the side of I'd rather have three dungeons every patch rather than stuff like this. >>;

It looks gorgeous.
It doesn't crash.
It probably looked great on paper.

OK that's all the positive I can say about it.

There's no fix. Well, no fix they could get done in time to make this palatable. If I were making this content.

-No death penalty.
-Mounts immediately usable.
-Aetherytes attunable from level 1
-No dumbass wheel like this game needed even more UI clutter.

+More direction than just wander around killing stuff.
+Bosses with actual mechanics
+Other things to do besides combat to get crystals. Vehicle stuff, crafting, gathering, triple triad, whatever. Just some variety is all this thing really needs.

You pretty much is just asking relic to be hand to you on top of a silver plate.
What is the point?
You are turning it into another diadem.

Give better rewards for it. One materia VI once in a while, a Tyrannosaurus mount and i355 gear after hundreds of hours I'd say isn't worth it.

[Zojha]

Uhm... how about a vendor that sells Crystals for poetics?

Probably goes too much into the direction of "delete it".

1) NMs more often. 3-4 hours is way too long. Even if it means cutting back the drops a bit, I'd rather have something to do more often with less drops than something that rarely spawns. It helps break the monotony and brings the community together to tackle a big NM challenge.

2) Gear needs to be adjusted so that it's not obsolete to dungeon gear. The fact is that it will take you more time to grind out Eureka gear than it takes to get a FULL mendacity set, yet the Eureka gear is obsolete to it (and will be even more so once the 24 man raid upgrades come out). This kills motivation to actually get the gear.

3) Needs to be more than just parking in a spot and killing enemies. Daily quests and challenges with some rewards would help.

4) A tweak to XP gained. Leveling up shouldn't take so ridiculously long.

Constructive criticism: a worse version of diadem 1.0 would have been a better idea than this low xp mob grind fest for bad rewards.

1. We need some kind of mini-NM/fate that spawns more often. Right now there is very little that you can do to break up the mob grind, and spamming keys for 2-3 hours continuously between each NM is really exhausting. FATEs give us a chance to take a break to walk over to the fate area. Maybe we could get some kind of mapwide goal that would spawn an NM once triggered, like kill 2000 mobs (hopefully something more interesting, that was just an example)

2. Why do I get less exp per mob when in a bigger party? When I was in my party of 5 I was getting around 100 xp from level 7 mobs, but in an 8man party I was getting around 30. They should fix this to share xp properly so people are encouraged to group up.

3. Why does the chain reset back to 1 after 30? I think it should just stay at 30 as long as you're killing mobs fast enough.

3. Protean crystal drop rate is depressingly low.

4. The elemental fairy thing's aoe buff doesn't seem to apply to everyone within the aoe.
