On EU Datacenter we even have a whole subculture of people lurking in Discord Channels and stalking premade groups, instance hoping with them, "stealing" a portal and mocking the parties who entered. (and yes those people get reported for stalking)

(please note Iam not saying everyone who uses a portal without a group is a sniper or does it on purpose, but lets be honest, most people do it "just to prove a point" or to get some sort of kick out of it, aka trolling)

We as a community failed. For some reason we do not manage to play together and respect each other.

My opinion is if you do NOT manage to get a bunch of people together inside eureka with a serious number of people to actually can encounter bosses (before the fate spawns, you rly need time to prepare) please let people with premade parties enjoy the content.

actually the whole reason NA has a problem with this content, is that they are trying to turn public content into organized premade content. Its actively not supposed to be that kind of thing.

notice, there are no good tools for gathering 48 people in an instance

the portals are not linked to parties or groups.

there is a magia board and logogram and big area with no monsters for people enter and adjust


the flow chart for this event is supposed to be, people enter baldesian, then organize. they discuss what they need, adapt with what they have, then attempt the content.

its not, in general supposed to be a 2 hour organization process.

and yes, many people wish to attempt it who havent preformed groups, but they believe no one will actually go in. This is why they designed it for organization to occur after entry. if itbecomes a preformed activity, the event will almost never fire, and be un attemptable for the vast majority of players.

which is what its currently becoming.

the whole of eureka has always been designed with a public, show up and attempt these bosses paradigm. BA is meant to be similar but with higher stakes.

now its clear, for our servers it has not succeeded, but the solution, for what they were attempting is not to have better tools for organizing 48 people outside the instance, thats actually the opposite of the goal of the content.

they want open world people to be able to attempt a difficult encounter, fairly shortly after entering hydatos, this is supposed to be and endgame fitting the type of player who enjoyed eureka's open world format. Its supposed to be fairly common to attempt, though rarer to perfectly complete.
