Will Eureka last?

[Claviusnex]

Grinding trash was never and will never be a good option while fate EXP remains this high.
The number of trash to kill in order to spawn a fate is related to the number of people in the instance.

In short, there's absolutly no reason not to go for fates, regardless if there's a train or not.

Actually it is frequently better to grind exp in between fate spawns as with the large number of players doing the NM trains and low level mobs you get no EXP. Instead while the zerg fest to spawn the NM is going on heading off to kill mobs that give you chained exp is a better use of time. Once the NM pops you return to play the fate.

Without a way for people entering into Eureka having a way to level quickly or alternate ways of getting the crystals (Ive seen suggestions of dailies or a weekly for exp and crystal gain). I see problems when a lot of the hardcore players get done. Though I have seen a number of people who enjoyed the grind of ff11 staying with this even though they have the gear they want. All end game is a grind we all know this I for one enjoy having another way to grind and have the nostalgia of ff11 helping me enjoy this

I'll wager that one content patch from now will severely damage Eureka participation. Two and it will effectively be dead.

Why? Because most will have what they want. Any new content they add will undoubtedly favor higher levels and higher level players will not be interested in leveling low level players.

Unless they force more relic pieces/items into Eureka. Then it will be another boom of dissatisfied players complaining because they have to do it.

I’ve been 20 since day 3, added people lower than 10 and have been PFing daily leveling. I doubt that I’m the only person in the world doing this content helping people level.

I think that there are so many ways to make it last. Add a mount in for doing X amount of NMS, add crafting mats to things. There is SO much they can do I don't know if I trust them to make it work though... The rewards are really scant right now, not really any achievement other than for the relics! Why did we not get one for killing every NM? There is like no reason so spawn Amarok or Lemashtu.

They've hinted they want to do something with achievements so that might be a reason for the suspicious lack of achievements

Many people won't be able to endure prolonged grinding. I've tanked those kind of grinding pulls, and its wearying, especially when you need to stun a mob with every single pull due to its aoe or cleave attack. There's a reason why trash in dungeons is spread out.

[Tanathya]

I've already noticed a downturn, and it's not even a week old, so I think it'll die out pretty quickly, just like Diadem did, if not faster.

The difference with this and other content, however, is the inclusion of the relic weapon. With future steps as well, it will hopefully stay alive a lot longer than most people would assume.

(Or at least I hope it does, as I've been preoccupied with the new season of Feast. Having both of these release at the same time as an avid PVPer and PVEer was disappointing.)

In one of the future relic steps, who knows we could be required to go back to Anemos to collect 20 unique items from each NM (guaranteed drop or not)

I think it'll last IF the devs understand how to design content that

1) Return to the old areas to grind out NMs or kill mobs or something (Like make it part of a quest, again Dailies, Weeklies, Challange Log to make people come back to the content.)

2) Make the old content WORTH returning to, things like the T-Rex and cool drops like the scorpion harness are a step in the right direction but they need to add more and need to remove some of it from the lock boxes. (I've gotten everything but the scorp harness from the lockboxes dunno if its in there or not) Maybe some sort of benefit to helping lowbies too might work.

3) Add more to it. I love Eureka, I really do BUT I see SO much room for potential for things to be added to spice it up. (Some QoL improvements like letting us pick what instance we get into would be lit af too.)

Content like this tends to breed small die hard communities dedicated to it so if its even MILDLY successful this content should last through them as long as they competently do the things above. So far it seems like they've committed to it, excited to see what the follow through turns out to be.
