Eureka wasn't so bad, but endgame in ffxiv is lacking without eureka

[Raldo]

I think Eureka content is scraping the bottom of the barrel of possibilities when it comes to ideas for endgame content. It has some cool ideas, but spending 90% of your time slaughtering the same trash mobs for an hour (either to spawn NMs / get light / get lockboxes), or hopping from NM to NM attacking an HP sponge with 100 other people is not my idea of fun.

At least it was relaxing for me. Unfortunately Pagos was the polar opposite of relaxing so I never progressed beyond Anemos.

Does this mean you never confirmed Pagos for yourself?

Confirmed? I don't know what that means. I tried Pagos out for the first time on week 2, couldn't really find a group my level that could stick together for more then an hour. I also had trouble getting to the parties because of all the chokepoints. When I was in a party that was mostly my level, it required so much button mashing that I couldn't even stop for a few seconds without breaking a chain. Also the heatwave lighting effects hurt my eyes slightly so I eventually I checked back into Anemos and leveled up via the challenge log for a few weeks but eventually stopped since I realized I'd have to farm crystals from Pagos to truly progress.

I also really liked Eureka!

And don’t worry, Relic content will be back! It’s just too soon for it.

i for one loved Eureka
yeah Pagos was pretty rough but the time i spent in all 4 places i have such good memories
and BA was amazing outside of the awkward entry
it also wasn't just good for the relic it was also a decent place to make money or even cap out your weekly tomes and all the extra little things from the chest and rabbits are nice
i also cant wait for them to put the shiver emote in a easier place to get


i too hope for more eureka like relic content instead of what HW and ARR did

Issue has nothing to do with difficulty.



Smashing your head against something for months is simply not fun. AS 3 was bad because it literally caused whole guilds to disband because none of the statics in them could even come close to kill it. And these statics were clearing everything before it. Why would going into raid for 3hrs a night 5 days a week for 4 weeks strait with almost no progression be fun? That is worse then fate grinding... although fate grinding is a close second.



Current difficulty honestly is fine. But there needs to be more stuff along side it.



In my opinion Eureka stuff should launch aside the main raid content, Honestly all the content in 4.1 should also be launched along side it. Mainly to give people more to do. Once you clear a savage raid you have 1day of content a week for upper endgame. This is the problem. But then again... this has always been the problem in ffxiv. Game is great but there is never enough to do to make it your main game. But according the devs we are apparently suppose to be playing classic WoW and other games along side ffxiv after all for what ever reason.

Sorry to say this, the devs need to take a page from 11 on end game content. There were several different types of end game options that you could do. Things from 6 player events all the way up to 72 player events. You could do something different each night and have several people farming items to pop things. Give the players different options for end game. Have gear different gear available at that Ilvl, stats can be different here and there then you can mix match gear to get the best set up. Make FC only events where you can get gear from. I do not mid grinding for gear but give me different ways to get gear instead of only some type savage raid.

To be fair endgame worked so well in FFXI because only the dedicated made it to endgame. At least in the pre 75 cap days.

Give them some time so they can make something better than a pretty area with Cookie clicker.
