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

this could be alleviated by upping the difficulty a bit..

wouldn't even have to be huge.. but part of the reason content never lasts very long is because you can pretty much smash through and clear everything a patch has within a few hours of it going live....

thats why people have nothing to do and are bored.. because everything they had to do was obliterated the moment it launched

People actually complaigned when it was more difficult giving birth to normal mode raid after ARR and Gordias is unfamous for its difficulty. not even mentionning the actual most difficult content isn't even cleared by 5% of the playerbase.

I'll add that because a handfull of hardcore player or enlighted player actualy defeated savage eden doesn't mean everybody did or will do it.

On the topic, Eureka is the worst tier of entertainement I ever played in my whole career of casual gaming. I'm about as thrilled about its incoming iteration as I would be if I had to get probed by half the alien species in the whole universe.

I only wish the relic isn't tied only to this pile of trash so I can actualy do something a bit more entertaining that spamming one skill on the 200 hundred same meat bag for the fate I don't even like doing outside of this hell to finaly pop so we can kill it in mere seconds using the last two neuronal fonction that didn't died of bordedom in the process.

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.

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.

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

Love Eureka. The closest thing to FFXI this game has.

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.

Does this mean you never confirmed Pagos for yourself?

I enjoyed it too. One of the few contents we have that can be called a massive multiplayer. They just need to brush it up a bit.

Which is a shame because of all the elements from XI they could have used. a lokurm duens exp grind blended with fates was quite literally the worst thing they could have gone with..

I know people asked for cool elements from XI to be incorporated but i don't think anyone meant lokurm dunes.
it could have been around sky, sea, limbus, dynamis, einherjar nyzul isle, assaults, znm salvage... the list goes on..
absolutely anything but exp parties combined with fates...
