Expectations for Occult Crescent?

[Valence]

The only thing I liked in Eureka was the maps and in Bozja, was CLL and Dalriada (+ story). They said it would be taking the best parts of both (but what is "best" to them, really?), so we'll see. As long as I can just go through the story without grinding mobs or stupid fates on the map too much I think I'll survive.
I'd like to see the next CLL/Dalriada if there is any. With a little copium it's not gated behind the basic grind like it used to.

I'm expecting low effort Bozja cut and paste with little deviation aside from the phantom job system. Would love to be proven wrong.

But you're saying this doesn't happen in Bozja at all? So it seems I stepped into Eureka, and then didn't even look at Bozja when I stumbled into it years later. Another good reason to give the new field operation a chance at least

Fair warning, but you can lose mettle (Bozja XP) when you die and lose even more when you use Return to respawn by yourself, however your rank is locked in so you are never able to rank down. Realistically the worst that can happen is reach 0 mettle and grind more to reach the next rank. ^^"

I imagine Occult Crescent will be at least similar to Bozja in that regard where deleveling is impossible, I would still prefer if the penalty wasn't looming over my head at all, but it also isn't *really* there in the end of the day.

There was a panel on the last PLL that showed that you are safe up until level 5 knowledge, afterwards deaths can result in level downs.

I expect CEs that turn into mass casualty events

I'm expecting it to release, be immediately abandoned and then they will say they can't fix it.

When years ago the game stole my house, I yelled some very dirty words at my monitor, deleted everything on my first account, and rage quit It took 2 years for me to return, and now I simply ignore housing at all. This is definitely a personal issue of mine - I just can't stand when a game starts taking away what I earned myself.

I remember when Eureka first launched it was not very well received, at least not in JP DC. The lost of exp, the grind, the NM train triumph every thing etc. Bozja feels like the Eureka with so many of those complain addressed. It still not a perfect game mode, but compare to Eureka, it feels like heaven. Could only hope the dev take the lesson learnt in Bozja and Occult Crescent would be a better mode

I often see people trying to push this narrative that no one likes Eureka and that Bozja was better, but Bozja is dead and Eureka is still very active despite being older content. Eureka might have been too grindy on release but with the adjustments that it received over time, it's arguably the best MMO content in the game.

Eureka has more to farm and the element wheel gives it a little more novelty and a few more moving parts, whereas Bozja mostly consolidated things into a few currencies that aren't terribly difficult to farm. Duels were a good idea, but I assume most people at this point either choose to ignore them or finished Sword of the South a long time ago.

We still have the weekly achievement for Eureka, and i still go back to do it weekly, and as you said the adjustment Eureka make it more "dorable"

Bozja, pretty much if you grind the items you want, there little to no reason to go back.

Before the Eureka "upgrade" i would consider it is very poorly implement and probably worst experience, the "upgrade" make it more enjoyable than Bozja. a good sign that at least Dev putting some though into the contents
