Eureka Orthos is a Dead Queue in NA

[Iscah]

I thought you could get silver sacks from 31+… it has to be 40? What a pain… especially when the boss on the card was floor 10!

You have to be able to clear floor 40 to actually claim any treasure from floors 31-39.

Maybe I'm just a weakling but I tried it once and found it too brutal to have to get through 20 floors of Orthos just to attempt the boss fight once and then get kicked out if you die.

Yeah, 40 is the hardest boss up until at least 60, arguably 70. Which people didn't watch a guide (or did Bahamut legit), it's probably gonna be a wipe. Only positive thing is that one guy that knows what he is doing can carry the group.

Why are people complaining about not being able to play Eureka Orthos? This is Final Fantasy XIV. We're in the off-season. You're supposed to be playing other games. If you want to play an MMO year-round, go back to WoW. Oh wait, your Shadowlands? Your Bobby Kotick? Your fruit bowl paintings? Yeah, didn't think so. We have it better over here. Switch to FFXIV so that you can unsubscribe during the off-season and play other games. Just not WoW, you can't play that one.

Have you tried playing other games yet? That might solve your issues with queue times.

This killed me hard, I might have to steal this reply for one of my future signature.

Just considering EO only has 30 floors before you have to make pre mades compared to 100 on potd and hoh, it isn't the greatest leveling method. The fact the other two have 70 more floors is more than enough to deter most to not even bother with eo. I went into eo once, wasn't really impressed and it only has 30 floors for matchmaking???? yeah moved on. All three of them need to be a on duty finder by now.

As for those exploratory zones, it was love hate. It was great for capping tomestones but i dint care for lvling again after 70 and 80. In eureka's case, dying and not getting resurrected hurts. Kinda why i haven't gone into ba and not really done anything eureka related in a while now. Yes they could future proof it by adding all those things like bozja but its 6.4 they should of been added in 5.3 like 4.3 dumbed down 3.0 relic. It needs a massive over haul just adding echo doesn't mean you can solo nms. I an can only speak about primal but when i last went in eureka was pretty dead bozja had more prob due to the reaper and sages.

I guess they had their purpose. If there was a current one now i would be devoting some time to it but there are other things to do cap tomes, craft, mount farming, finishing stupid blue mage colosseum stuff, etc

To me it seems yoshiada has been too preoccupied with ff16 and not enough time being spent on 14.

People whined there was no DD in Shadowbringers. now there's whining they didn't want it now in EW. smh

[DefaultMiqote]

I tried it! I did not have very much fun doing Eureka Orthos. I don't like playing it solo, it makes me feel dumb! I would rather play with my friends! But they don't like it either! The rewards aren't cute or cool either so I don't plan on going back! :>

Orthos has the same level structure as HoH. Everyone just ran 51-60 of PotD over and over so they changed "the level everyone will play repeatedly" to be 21-30 with an important boss at the end and no second stretch of basic difficulty before you hit the hard part.

I think that it's rather disingenuous to claim that it's the exact same individuals complaining about both elements.

Disingenuous is his middle name. Unfortunately there are many bad-faith posters on these forums.
