After 2 hotfixes lets give a compiled list of improvements to eureka

[BillyKaplan]

My biggest question is from a lore perspective. What would the awards be for DoH? Crystals come from killing monsters and lore wise they came to us because literally no one else could do it so it'd be difficult to excuse it as "we found these and you're probably better off using it yourself". DoL you can say it's stuff you found while gathering, or even "hey, this was in the stuff you brought and we don't need it" and that'll work because it's from things you ventured out and brought back.

Fully in agreement with basically everything here, mind, just being nitpicky on the lore front.

2) I'm not sure if this would be controversial but personally, I'd also allow attunement to the Aetherytes at any level. If you can get there before level 9, you should be rewarded.

Absolutely this. Stupid artificial difficulty

One thing I'd like to see is more Extreme weathers though we might get that in future areas. For example, a weather that behaves like Quicklevin (Ixion) where random AOE thunderbolts strikes all over the map (only outside?) or a Blizzard where everyone in eureka takes constant damage due to the cold. (just enough to be annoying but not to the degree where it kills everyone) I would also like some of these to be randomly replacing other weathers so people can't just look at the Skywatcher to predict them.

This is to make Eureka feel more hostile while adding another layer to make it a little less boring.

Edit: I understand that these changes might be too much if they never fix the issue where party members visibility arent prioritized over other players. Healing/ressing party members is currently a pain during bossfights.

For gathering content, if they don't want us to gather on the surface, then give us underwater zones (which could serve as shortcut too).
And add something dangerous as water flow which eject you (if you go inside) on the surface with impossibility to go back by this point.

[BillyKaplan]

Oh here's one. Have crystal exchange and weapon upgrades be available outside of Eureka. There's no reason why I should go in there and take up a spot in an instance if all I'm going to be doing is clicking Gerolt for 15 minutes. Put Drake, his assistant, in Kugane next to the lockbox opener and have him say something like "Master Gerolt will be pleased with this! I'll have it shipped to him immediately!" to get around the fact Gerolt is still on Eureka and he's the one making the upgrades.

For integrating DoL, we could have like guildhests where you assemble a group of DoW/DoM and DoL, and the objective is to have the DoW/DoM clear out the mobs guarding the nodes so DoL can harvest.

Hardcore dungeon gathering GO!

I disagree about making mounts and aether teles earlier, they were rewards worth working towards of their own right. They made me personally be more excited about reaching those levels.

I really do not know lore that deep so that is simply something I cannot answer. I really not that deep into lore to.. care? I mean you just put some nodes in , gather, and let people put them in something (like the FC shop station thing) and once enough is put in, you get the fort or whatever.

Forgot about that, added

I would say they should also add relic like tools for DoL and DoH classes since nether has really gotten anything like that. It would tie them into the content and give both something to work towards. Maybe even do a set of gear for them too.

[Airget]

They could of added workshops into Eureka that DoH had to go with the help of other players or warping back after clearing to gain access to unique crafts.

As for gathering, it's tricky, they can't do what they did with Diadem and add regular nodes for old unspoiled items since the distance between the areas and the ease of access to Eureka does lead to destroying a market.

As much as I would like to see gathering in Eureka it would be tough unless they had it where you needed to use leves in order to have gather attempts within Eureka.

[Altanas]

More things to do once we have what we need from Eureka, i.e.

Ways to change the glow of relics

Each element in Eureka is a different colour. Let us grind say 1000 mobs of a particular element so our weapon and/or armour take on a glow in that colour.
