I’m thinking Eureka is more populated lately because Krile has a prominent role in the story and will likely be the new caster job character in Dawntrail.I decided to go back and make another relic weapon, and I’ve found it really active. Honestly the whole vibe of Eureka is great… groups working together to spawn the NM fates and almost always setting a pull time and waiting for others to get there, people willing to travel to inconvenient locations to rez you if you die, people who will explain how things work in each zone… the relics are still a bit of a grind, but I always enjoy my time there. After I finish my latest relic, I’m going to try and get in on a BA run sometime before Dawntrail, since that’s the only thing I haven’t done yet.
Just last night I was in a small party in Pyros, and someone had put in shout chat that the instance was locked and a bunch of people started leaving. But Penny only had about 10 minutes left til her spawn window, so we decided to try and farm for it, joined by one other solo player. And it popped! The poor tank’s instance timer was running out and it kicked him out midway through the fight. Our healer kept me and the other dps alive while we took turns holding aggro on the boss and even rezzed and healed the solo player! And we cleared it with just the four and a half of us! lol good times!
