Eureka Vote

[Reynhart]

Are you new to this game or something?

Seriously, check your info before posting, It's becoming tirestome to point all your inconcistencies...

we had an extreme dry period 2 months before sigma

No, we didn't. Patches are released at a steady pace and 4.2 was on point. The only "starving" time we had was between 3.0 and 3.1.

i never said anything about it being confirmed 4.1, STOP putting words in my mouth, stop twisting them for your own personal biases.

Ok, so, you're fully aware that Eureka was never supposed to come out in 4.1, you're also fully aware that Eureka didn't reduce the content of 4.2 since we had our two dungeons, Sigmascape, new beast tribe quests, Savage Sigma that was expected to wait until 4.25, underwater exploration, and now Hildibrand in 4.25...and I'm sure you're also aware that we got Ultimate Coil, Squad Missions and Rival Wings during 4.1x, on top of the promised EX dungeon, normal and ex primal and 24-man raid...but you still claim that it's fully Eureka's fault if we lost one dungeon ?

Bias at its finest...and still without any actual proof...

And that's without counting the fact that a second dungeon for odd patches is worthless since the only thing people focus on is doing their roulette, so they'll run any EX dungeon, and that you still have 90% of the content that follow the same view you apparently think is way better, while the only thing I ask is for at least one piece of content that gives a different vibe.

from 1400 votes, 2/3 are fine with it. Guess thats not as bad as people want to make it out

If "Meh, it's okay" means people are fine with it, you're not too ambitious. I see that answer as something way more negative than positive. I wouldn't say "Meh, it's okay" about something I'm fine with. But hey, that's me.

thats because its a bad polling suggestion. I wanted to vote but the poll is meaningless with those suggestions. it should've been a 1-5 kind of thing with 3 being the middle of the road between "Love it, keep it coming" and "Hate it, scrap it and start over."

If it was hated as much as the forums might lead someone to believe, we wouldn't be having Eureka instances being near constantly packed. Well at least in EU. Obviously I can't speak for the other data centres given I don't play there.

People participate in things they hate all the time: family reunions, culturally mandated gift exchanges, unfulfilling jobs, etc. Usually because its the lesser of two evils. In Eureka's case I dislike the content, but I feel forced into it because of the rewards. In well crafted MMO content I should be excited for the rewards and also enjoy the journey to get them.

Why are you comparing mandatory life events to an optional game feature?

Eureka is more like attending an optional club you may not enjoy so you can access something better later. Working a job you hate to keep a roof over your head is much more akin to paying your XIV subscription only because you want to keep your in-game house.

Gah! I'm sure this is a rhetorical question, but I feel like a jerk if I don't respond when someone is talking right at me. Forgive me in advance for probably coming off as a nerd. I use those illustrations (not mandatory, any one of them) as examples because they're relatable. Almost everyone has experienced one of those things at some point in their life and didn't enjoy it, thus I use them as evidence of the fact I began with: People often participate in things they hate. Since it happens in real life, it will happen in virtual life too for similar reasons. You do the thing you hate, because there's something else to be gotten out of it. You go to a family reunion because its better than having your aunt nag you for not going, you give gifts because you feel you'd be looked down on if you didn't, you work an unfulfilling job because you want to be able to afford to go out to dinner every now and again. Likewise, those of us who dislike Eureka do it, not because we like it, but because there is some other reward besides enjoyment and that is the AF, Relic, and vanity items.

I would argue that is poor game design.

I wish there was just a "meh" option. I don't hate it, but I don't enjoy it enough to say "its ok".

packed in NA too. All the time. Most people are happy to help everyone .

Oh hey, look at that! On average forum goers feel like Eureka is mediocre! Looks like I was right.
