    I liked Eureka

    Yeah, I said it.

    I had fun and thought the items you got for the effort you put in were pretty good.
    It also had much more social interaction than most areas of the game I've seen.

    Was it perfect? No.
    But what is?

    I would have put Anemos last because I thought it was the best of the three.
    Plus, I'm getting a little tired of snow covered areas.

    But all in all, I thought Eureka was good.

    Come at me bro.

    I thought it was terrible. I respect your opinion, I just think your opinion is not likely to be shared among the majority of players, or even a large enough portion of the players for it to in any way be considered objectively good content. I could be wrong, but I think I'm not. I'm glad you got enjoyment out of it, but I'd be even more glad and less disappointed if content was produced that I and most of the player base could have enjoyed as well.

    I enjoyed Anemos. I barely endured Pagos and from what I've seen I'll be okay with Pyros. Eureka could definitely have been better but overall I had enough fun with it to consider it decent.

    You could be right, but I think you're not.

    As a whole, I strongly dislike Eureka. But taken in individual parts with a goal in mind, I didn't mind Anemos and Pyros. Pagos, I started to enjoy for only one reason - the community. I think what it was is that the community made it tolerable in Pagos, and enjoyable in the others. Without the community...I'm not so sure I would have a positive opinion of the content. I am hoping that with the 4th instance, the devs have continued to build upon the goodwill that Pyros started to bring back.

    Not sure what they were thinking with the Pagos spawn/xp/light rates.
    They were painful for sure.
    But they made up for it in Pyros.

    I get your point, but I would ask what content that would be?
    From what I've seen (anecdotal opinion inc.) most people don't raid, nor do they PvP.
    Seems most people do MSQ and decorate their houses.

    I love Pagos and Pyros because they actually somewhat, slightly fulfil the vision of a classic MMO experience. There are problems for sure, but they’re a lot more like it than what Anemos turned out to be.

    I disliked Anemos because “the train” meant it was a zone of mindlessly Zerg rushing bosses. I get that a lot of people enjoyed it, but that concept of “I know you’re level 2 but shield lob this boss twice and then run away and wait for XP” doesn’t really strike me as gameplay and I got zero entertainment value out of most of my NM experiences there. When I was grouping with players to grind though, it was a fine zone.

    Other than that, my biggest complaint would be that I think they tuned the drop rates/requirements in Pagos a bit wrong. By the time I finished a weapon I had a full 7 extra light. The rate of Pagos crystals from bosses was just really low compared to needing 500 of them. Maybe it balanced out if you never did anything else that generated light.

    You are certainly entitled to your opinion, but overall I think it was wasted resources and potential. Anemos set the stage for it to be something decent. Then Pagos came along and it seems like the devs made it as a punishment of sorts...how DARE we play Eureka the way we did in Anemos?! Pyros is honestly the first (and possibly the last) addition where I feel they got more things right than wrong. We'll just have to wait and see what Hydatos brings. If they were trying to capture that "old school MMO" feel...I think they failed horribly. They basically took everything wrong with older MMOs and meshed it all together.

    Was it honestly a punishment, like out of malice? Or did they perhaps just want to steer the course back to their vision?

    I mean you can be displeased about the second too, it’s all opinion and the zones were undeniably not for everyone. But if they hadn’t changed things radically, Pagos just would have been Anemos with snow, and that’s not what they were trying to make.
