Eureka... what were you expecting?

[Shouko]

I don't generally care about patch notes, what's coming out or hype over things anymore, thanks to the gaming industry as a whole in the new generation of games, massive microtransactions, loot boxes, day 1 patches, unfinished games, etc. Anyhow the only thing that I knew about Eureka were the NMs and elemental wheel, I was figuring NMs would be on par with XI style NMs with set conditions for them to pop, being slightly harder to needing a full group to take one down, weather conditions/zone areas having a specific element to them, which they sort of did but not quite.

I was expecting sustainable Diadem and I suppose it is that. However, having been screwed over by my last group, my biggest gripe is that you can't really make a dent solo. If the monsters gave a little more EXP, the death penalty wouldn't be that big a deal and would make it worth the risk of exploring. As it stands, Eureka is useless to the single wanderer. A death trap basically. All for single-job glam items to clog our inventories once more. The materia slots on the final form are certainly a plus but once the upgrade items for the ryumaki gear filter down from Savage, that will not be enough to convince me to keep doing this unless they add more rewards to the rotation. *shrugs*

And there's absolutely no reason (aside from the kindness of your heart) to help players at a lower level than you. You don't get XP and sometimes, neither do they. I felt bad for the level 1s this weekend. I tried helping them but there was little I could do

I had some guy that was like 6 trying to solo, I saw him almost dead, tossed him a regen and waited for him to finish, poor guy tried to invite me, tried to explain it to him but think there was a language barrier, then went back out on my RDM WHM+no tank=aggro city...anyhow again tried to invite me, I just simply turned it down. I felt bad because I would have stayed to help him if I wouldn't have eaten up his xp. There are still people out there kind enough to help even tho they don't need to. If I hit 20, since I don't craft or raid I will probably help a lot, i'll be the unofficial Eureka mentor!

Expect? Well blame for thinking it was going to have some level of thought put into it.

What did we get:
Content that you'd expect to be served up in some kind of abysmal ftp offering.
Moronic repetition with whatever the hell odds of opening boxes.

It's like someone asking you to watch paint dry and giving you a new brush after you'd stood there for hours.
Just what the hell SE?
Where did this thinking come from that it would be a good idea to pollute a fine subscription mmo with something that is regularly served up by the likes of Cryptic or some here today, gone tomorrow Studio.

This is the worst content you have delivered bar none. And that includes FFXIV 1.0 which had to be redone.

To see this garbage in this great game breaks my heart, and questions my belief that future content will ever get back the standards seen earlier on in the game.

Eureka - the historical cry of discovery. Only in this game what we discovered was something of zero interest, zero fun, zero innovation and zero thought beforehand.
