5.X Relic Feedback Thread

[LaylaTsarra]

I think the initial idea behind Eureka was to target that demographic of players that want those crazy grinds. Which I feel is just fine. But the relic appeals to multiple camps, so tossing it in there was an extremely erroneous decision that infuriated those who don't care for that kind of content, and feeling like they were forced to do it. I agree with the poster you quoted, and echo that content as vast as Eureka should be sustainable by its own merit.

I don't have the exact quote but Eureka was in response to the community who wanted something new and who were constantly complaining that running old content for relic was boring and they didn't want to do it anymore. I know personally I didn't want to run old content over and over for tomes and I seriously hope we don't see that in the actual grind steps that are coming. If anyone thinks they're not coming they're dreaming. Perhaps they didn't come soon enough for some but they will come.

In addition, Eureka Anemos was too grindy now this relic first step isn't grindy enough even thought there is an extreme trial which is new and requires some effort to do to get the gear some people really want. It was also in response in my view to the many complaints that relic was too easy, now you see, it's too hard. In addition they added crafting and gather relics which obviously doesn't make the war/magic crowd happy but certainly makes others happy and gives them stuff to do not only now but for future updates.

Regardless of what many would like us to believe here on this forum Eureka was pretty sucessful in my view. Did it make everyone happy, no. Will any relic or relic step make everyone happy not in my experience and I've been doing relics since ARR. I can still remember the disruption Titan HM caused among friends and in FC given some were excluded from groups given they weren't deemed good enough.
