Boy is Eureka trash

[TeraRamis]

Lots of people loved Eureka. I was one of them. Was pretty much the best part of SB for me. It was fun to do solo or with friends for a couple of hours at a time; I looked forward to logging in to enjoy it. Enjoyed the story, loved the zones, loved the nostalgia for XI. Much better than Bozjia (or however you spell it) which I haven't enjoyed at all. Fighting Penthesilea was one of my favourite boss battles for a while.

Guess what? Different people like different things.

Good for you. Unfortunately, mindless mob grinding for 5+ hours just so you can unlock access to the NMs is not my idea of fun. It's closer, in fact, to torture. And given your sarcasm, I feel no misgivings about flipping it around and saying: guess what? It doesn't say much about you that you find something so hollow so entertaining.

I guess slinging insults around is how you operate when people have differing opinions now?

You probably had to have been there to know what some people liked it.

In a lot of ways bojza was actually a step down from Eureka. Sure it was definitely more concise, but it also cut out a lot of what actually made Eureka enjoyable. There is no real sense of progression with the leveling system in bojza, zones are tiny, and the fate scaling is laughable. Eureka also had objectively better world bosses and NM's; also said bosses didn't have a player limit so the whole scale of the fights were much more grand.
I think most of the issues you are running into are due to Eureka not being current content anymore, so the areas are less populated. Fate/NM trains definitely made the leveling experience in Eureka much more bearable and less tedious, but most of my fun came from killing higher leveled monsters with a full or mostly full party.


~~Good luck.
