Thread: Post mortem on relics from 4.0

And I still can't be bothered to go and grind out the stuff that gives Poetics so I'm sitting on a hyperconductive Axe that maybe-some-day might get completed. Eureka was not a long grind for me and I'm not some kid with tons of free time, I have a full time job with an hour commute ..

People really do not understand eureka and let it color their thoughts to the extreme I see.

So you spent one month to get an ugly glamour, when you can get an ARR/HW relic in a few weeks playing casually. I don't care how people spend their free time, but surely I won't waste mine pressing 2 skills every 30 minutes to get a reward from a Fate, I have better things to do than braindead and boring grinding for 0 reward.

If people hate themselves enough to do Eureka, good for them ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I'm sorry for you for wasting your little free time on doing something horrible. Also I did up to Pyros so I know how awful Eureka is.

Do you also laugh at people taking several weeks to obtain their i390 weapon while you can obtain an i120 in a day ?

You can get Snakeboy's weapon which is 395 in under an hour, which is way, WAY faster than months of braindead grinding and bother with lootboxes.

And someone must have a real problem if they do Eureka for "BiS", when you can get Savage/Tomes stuff without spending tons of hours into boring content for no reward. The content is easy enough as it is to bother with lootboxes and boring grind.

Same tune different relic grind. Personally I adore what they did with relic putting it in an open world setting with 143 other people. Would love to see something new in 5.0 but would hope we don't get more of the same old farm these dungeons for tomes 2 zillion times and rng dungeon drops and so on.

Interestingly enough i have some friends who love the HW relics now that they doing them after having been nerfed into oblivion and have no clue how much work it was to do simply one relic let alone multiples.

The problem isn't SE trying new things, the problem is SE doing BAD things like Eureka is, they can try all they want at making new content, but not content filled with the worst kind of grind imaginable and filled with lootboxes everywhere. I do like the idea of open world stuff, and guess what? We have maps absolutely empty without a soul around them, what's the point of make new maps for each new expansion if you are going to have a big, empty but pretty map with nothing to do but hunts/gathering? That's an ABSOLUTE waste, instead of fix what we already have, they take the problem somewhere else, this isn't the right way to do things and SE must be aware of it.

This isn't hating content for the sake of it, this is let SE know this LAZY and totally HORRIBLE content isn't good for the game. This is about asking for better content and not letting SE get away with half-baked garbage content only the 10% of the community does. Ask for good content for everyone can only benefit everyone, and not be happy with the first garbage SE throws at the game.
