Instance Jumping in Eureka

but 10% of the time it's "no". and staying in the current instance nets them absolutely nothing if they are Level 20, at the very least they refresh their own Eureka timer.

True, if you get a no then you can hop. But again, it's better to try and go before the window and help spawn him killing wraiths, then wait until next time (either farm NMs in the instance you are in then hop when the time is close, or leave Eureka entirely until said time).

Pazuzu far predates FF:MQ; he is a Mesopotamian wind demon. It's rather likely that SE is drawing from actual mythology here for his appearance, which show him having 4 wings.

Lots of games use mythological things in their concepts. I mean, exactly how many primals aren't based on mythology? I was just mentioning it in so far as the Final Fantasy series, spin-offs included, goes.

Pazu-who?

While it's true I've left the instance a few times after Pazuzu is killed, it was to go do other things, not find a new instance right away.

A simple 5 min lock out would solve this. Without overly hurting the Experiance of Eureka. That coming from someone that only goes in with FC. And we exit everytime someone hopes on that wants to join in the FC on event night.

One time I was in an instance where pretty much nobody came to help spawn pazuzu, and we only managed to kill 9 wraiths before the night before gales happened. My friend and I abandoned that instance to find another, and pazuzu shortly spawned.

That first instance? is now a place where pazuzu is still ready to be spawned, as soon as "in 20 minutes, when the next gales happens", because people didn't prioritize it. Those instances do exist.

That is why my friend and I instance hopped. Literally all we had left to do in eureka was kill pazuzu, multiple times. If that's literally all we're in eureka for, why the heck should we not instance hop? And why should you be offended when we ask "is pazuzu up?"?

It certainly does not affect you if we're trying to get more pazuzu kills. A simple "yes" or "no" will suffice if you have the information.

because it gets a little tiresome to answer the same question over and over and over again... i would also say it's close to chat spam, but because it's from different persons it's acceptable i guess ^^

i mean i understand the reason why people do instance jumping and asking for Pazuzu - what else should they do? i would do the same if i was interested in Pazuzu kills. but on the other side it's quite annoying xD

but it is, what it is... so i would say we just deal with it.

There isn't anything wrong with instance hopping. People do that to target Pazuzu or other NMs such as Strider. It actually does work a fair amount of the time.

You know what would be a cool effect to add to know if Pazuzu is available or not. Upon defeating Pazuzu, the islands weather should calm down and all the wind/tornado effects disappear including weather effect. It would be a cool visual cue along with showcasing that Pazuzu is so strong he created the torrents of wind.
