    Eureka

    Can you add solo party instances where just only you and your party in it. Like today only one in it spend long time killing mobs to spawn fate then wait for it to spawn. gone for one minute and another that joined killed it and I get no credit for all the hard work.

    Same type of thing happened with spawning S rank hunt. Before all the party could get to it others started attacking it and was dead before we could get to it. They need to add timer where no one can attack it till it's up.

    S ranks are like that. A are even worse. People who reach it before you are those that use plugins to instantly teleport where they need based on chat coordinates and just run there. Some people also come before others to snipe it. This has been an issue for a good time.

    That's why in Eureka you have to be careful what you do. I have seen a lot of people that are selfish and never advertise fates that are popped up but rather go to steal it as soon as possible. Worst type of players that you can encounter. Always finish your fate farming and don't go afk.

    I always call for people in /shout if I pop it or it pops but many just don't want to and hide it for themselves. I don't know what they get from it but I guess an ego to make others slowed and feel superior.

    Edit: Though I forgot to say that I caught one Hroth like that. He was constantly clearing fates that others spawned and normally you get angry for that. I farmed mine, spawned it and you can guess it. He was there instantly and already took my boss ??? while I was advertising for others to come and get a kill.

    Luckily it was a boss that does 2 petrify so he didn't know tactics, died and I ressed him once (for the good will). He died again and ressed back at entrance + lost good amount of xp. Learned his lesson.

    However if the person spawns the fate themselves which is easy to do in anemos if you have elemental armour I have zero problem if someone says “I’m solo prepping lord of anemos pull time is when I spawn it” because they are doing the work.

    If anything I see a lot of the opposite problem, where people who don’t help with a fate will co-opt it and start calling out a pull time when it spawns even if they didn’t help

    Honestly I think communication is fine in eureka, there is a bit of friction but for self regulated content eureka really doesn’t do that badly

    As a healer main in this game for nigh on 14 years all I can say is that I’m tired. My role has been eroded of complexity and expression for 3 expansions. I’ve watched the tanks do my role for me for 2 expansions and my feedback and critiques continue to fall on deaf ears.

    I have no idea who modern healers are designed for but I know now it’s not me. This is the first expansion I’m truly considering dropping the healer role and not returning, so if that was the goal- congratulations I guess

    Exact same as hunts tbh, back when I still spawned hunts I had people say "pull in 30 seconds" even though I spawned it and was still waiting on a couple of people who said "OTW" then when the hunt dies and everyone is saying "Ty for spawn" that person has the audacity to say "you're welcome" lmao, it's just a thing with mmos where some people will be selfish like that, it really sucks, I think the best solution is what a lot of people have already suggested be it eureka fates that need to be spawned or hunts give them an invulnerable shield for a couple of minutes.

    If you want to go further they could add a little title to the hunts and fates like "Summoned by x" it's small things but I think it'd be a nice thing for those who put in the work.

    I have mixed feelings cuz while I do agree with you, I also feel like it could suck for solo players who don't have a group since those areas aren't really too hot anymore. Also, couldn't your friends have told them to wait for you? Or did the people who killed it just not care?

    I honeslty forget that eureka existed. I haven't found motivation for a relic in that area besides the first glow for fairy wings. Honeslty if htey made it more stream line or let you do other content like bozja does for its relic steps
