What am I missing?

[DBriggs304]

So, I just don't seem to get it.

I thought that Eureka was bad when I first tried it until I really got into it and then saw it was actually quite fun. Having said that, I do not feel the same with the Bozjan Southern Front. Literally, what is the point of it? I was bored within an hour and didn't get the full reason why it's there.

Obviously, I don't read patch notes, so I'm sure I missed crucial info...but I just don't keep up on that stuff. After the initial intro, I still don't see what i'm supposed to be doing. I (Wrongly) approached it like Eureka thinking it was a mob grind, but that isn't the case. I must be doing it completely wrong.

So do I just wait for fates and skirmished to pop in there for mettle or rank or whatever i'm supposed to be getting? If so...what's fun about that? It's a massive area where literally I see no players out there unless it's a fate. Is that how it works?

Then I hear about collecting memories or something. Da hell is that? And I can collect them other places...so, if that's the case, why would I remain in Bozja or want to even go there?

Halp!

Instead of coming here, you could just, you know, read up on it? Just my 2 cents.

Yeah...I guess that was a silly idea to come to the forum of the game I'm speaking of and playing where other players would see it...

You do Fates and Skirmishes to gain mettle, which you trade in for rank, correct. With each couple of ranks, you get more story.

Yeah, exactly. Why attempt to discuss something you don't understand with other players on a forum designed to facilitate that very thing.

Glad you got a legit answer, OP.

Thank You!
Back I go to try again.

To be fair, this is "general discussion" the dumping ground for anything that was posted in the wrong place, or by the wrong person.
Pretty much everything posted here, is in the wrong place, by extension, thus no sane answers are ever to be expected.... including this one.

Grinding mobs has its benefits too. Some mobs drop fragments (like Eureka's logos), which gives you extra abilities, or makes you do more dmg, gives more defense, etc, while others drop clusters which you can trade in for emotes, mounts and music scrolls. You can go out and test the mobs to find out, but remember your rank isnt how strong you are. A rank 15 can still get owned by a rank V monster the same way a rank 1 player could.

Why did Eureka feel more fun to you?

Personally, I think they're the same. They're boring unless you're grouped up with friends chatting away while you grind mobs down. People are happy with it for now because it's new content but they'll get bored again once they've got what they want from it.

I guess the one advantage Eureka had that I've seen others mention is that it was essentially a large wilderness. Bozja is a warzone. Which environment is more pleasant to be bored in? The wilderness, of course.

Halp!

You can get memories for the weapons from FATES in HW zones, but you won't be working on your Bozja rank if you do that.
