Please no more Eureka!

[TalithaSolarien]

I wouldn't mind Eureka-like content if they would/will finally add some tools to help players who are coming later then the inittal rush. Tools like level syncing or LFG/grouping tools would help a lot. Running Eureka solo is punishing (that's the main reason why SE added band-aids like CL or the numerous nerfs) and if you don't have friends or FC mates that are helping you then you are screwed.

Probably mentioned this before, if there daily quest in Eureka that gave like say half to 3/4ths of a level per day as an alternative to the mob/NM grind it wouldn't be so mind numbing and feel like so much of a chore to do.

Eureka is nothing else, than a RNG filled Skinner Box.

on a side note: you DO realize that the quote you're showing off in your signature means absolutely nothing in regards to your "Eureka was always meant to be niche content" claim, do you? It's from an interview done at NA FanFest, so a few weeks AFTER Pyros was released. At that point it's nothing more than meaningless PR talk.

Diadem have a pegasus mount as a reward. Still dead.

Its not Eureka that failed, its the Dev team being uncreative regarding their content releases or lets say at least, very careful?
When Anemos was released, people actually started Fate training. Something that the Dev team didnt even consider, they absolutely didnt want us to do that. But yet, people found out it is the fastest and enduring way to keep this content somewhat engaging. (And we can say NMs are nothing different than S hunts that would pop when triggered)
Pagos added the bunnies later on, a Fate that included treasure hunting and actually gave rare rewards based on rng. ( also not to forget light farming + gold box farming, also if im not mistaken, the challenge log got added which are basically weekly quests)
On pyros we got new skills that would either boost up killing mobs and give some collectathon (logograms).
And at last, hydatos includes a open dungeon you can clear with all those features in one map.
Imo, eureka would of been a success if they implemented all features at the same time and lifted some requirements over time.
Eureka isnt a fail in my opinion. Its just the way we get crumbles every patch. And also to say anemos and pagos are definetly a "beta" to check how players are reacting. We got 4 additional maps to explore next to the stormblood ones, and it did feel like a real adventure seeing people running everywhere. And still is.

I don't neccisarily mind more Eureka, but if they do something like this again I hope they tweak things a bit.

For starters, make it more rewarding to stay engaged with the content and discourage the practice of idling until a NM spawns. For starters, make NMs something that happens occasionally rather than the ONLY reliable source of crystals. As crystals are the main resource used in upgrades, having them tied so intrinsically with NMs is a mistake. Allow for chain groups to rake in a steady supply of crystals between NMs.

Second, please stop with the specific NMs being required to be killed at least twice (three times fir Pagos IIRC) to complete a relic. I can kind of understand requiring one gold kill but what is gained by making people get two other than an arbitrary time sink? Or if you're going to stick to this, make NMs more interesting to spawn instead of just 'kill a bunch of these mobs' or 'kill these mobs at night/during X weather event.'

Third, please have more story. The story of Eureka wasn't bad but they really only had one or two actual zones worth of story spread thin across four. Nothing interesting really happens in the first two at all, and things only start kickig into gear at the end of Pyros, and then it all slows down until the end of Hydatos when you finally get inside the building.

So people is trying to say that Yoshida is protecting the players by releasing content that lasts a few weeks at best, when at the same time includes heavy gambling on almost every part of the content.

Yes, it lasts a few weeks to the point that I see full instances in Anemos and people that are level 60.

The same 144 people playing the worst content ever released in XIV doesn't represent a playerbase.

What TwistedTea was asking for is "content that keeps players engaged more than a month". For that request, Eureka is indeed a worthy option (arbitrary weekly restriction excluded) exactly because it's big and because it has a lot of different rewards here and there, mainly, the Relic.

But it comes down to "being engaged more than a month" not fully compatible with "casual content".

Problem is, Eureka is just bad game design, a bad copy of an awful game design from XI that any F2P MMO in the market have done better, the problem is the quality of the content released and that people doesn't want to support bad quality content. SE did nothing to improve Eureka.
