Grabbed all my relics and haven't stepped foot inside. Won't be surprised if in a week or so it'll be the same for the rest.

Ehhh, the tomes dropping from the NM FATEs might prop it up on Tuesday/Wednesday even after it's "dead". I quite like the ability to get easy tomes without investing attention/effort.
I can cap in a single 3hr session without having to use any real brain power. Anything to avoid expert I am satisfied with.
One thing you can do to mitigate this is by not being shy and ask if you can get rides from ppl lv17+ if they have two seats mounts.
As bad as this content can be, Yoshida deserve the credit when it comes to making a content where people can socialize, at least on Chaos DC people talks in parties, cracks jokes and we even share tasks to give a ride to the lower levels and to protect them (if we can) thats a FFXI feel and thats nice.

I guess the plan is just to keep telling us this is great content?Yoshi-p said a lot of the dev members leave the company as soon as their work is done, so they can go home and play Eureka...
I mean if anything was expecting a game that eschewed everquest style content for WoW style and made an entire zone dedicated to Relic grinding to be revolutionary and amazing then LOL.
The only thing that Eureka does amazingly is shower Mendacity the same way Hunts did with Tomestones of Soldiety back in patch 2.3 when that got introduced.
Legitimately its the only relevant content I can do with the wife because she doesn't play the game too well.
I must admit the socialization aspect is pretty nice. I do like these Diadem type things while they last mainly for the chance to do things in a giant mob of people. Reminds me of the good old Besieged days. But that's also the main problem with content like Eureka; once a lot of people stop going, the smaller number of people who are still going will struggle.
I just came out of it after being a cute lala’s lv1 bodyguard for about 1h30, she wasn’t in my party either so no mount allowed, throw me back to when I was getting ppl from Sandy to Jeuno... that feeling was good, I am just sad she wasn’t from my server as we had good fun chatting. Sorry to say it but this game lacked that kind of interaction since 2013, I already have 3 relics and 3 set of armors, I just don’t care about the grind anymore, being able to play like that is good.
"Deathscythe was better than endgame weapons!"
you fucking wot lmao
No wonder Eureka is such a poor emulation of XI style gameplay, Yoshida evidently never played it
She's garbage at dodging mechanics and doing DPS so something as easy as even Byakko Extreme is a little out of her range. So that would leave just Expert Roulettes, Maps, and Hunts for relevant "end game" content that doesn't involve outdated content or leveling alt jobs.
^ Gotcha.
So is this actually a thing? I remember everyone crapped on Eureka at release, but this thread is now nearly 10 pages long.
What's the reason people are still on this... weekly tome cap? Are the relic glams that good?
It's actually a thing. People like/use the armor (especially being 350 pentameld without needing a crafter) and the first step of a relic isn't a retarded step compared to the other first steps of the recent ones. So it's very attractive to casual base, since realistically you don't need beyond 350 gear for this cycle unless you are going after later Sigma Savage stages..which a lot of people aren't.
It's an easy tome cap that is true, since unless you have shitty luck, you're WAY more than likely have all the minions/mount by now, it has cracked clusters etc too but I doubt that keeps people there. People crapped on it initially because there was an initial hump to get over, so it being "like XI" is true, people tend to crap on new systems with XI before they jumped into it fully because they didn't find rewards vastly superior to what they can get in the dats, but ended up working on the system anyway.
Eureka is terrible for what it is, but it's something else to do when you complete the game every reset, since unlike XI, there's no omni gearsets (since every role is slotted off into slaying/striking etc,) so chances are people are taking this chance to gear out every job in full Anemos/Relic and ready for the next step because it'll give you an edge going into 4.3x when they drop the next round of Eureka. Ilvl jump in 4.4 will depend if we get the next tier of gear (Big if) that's an upgraded Anemos and obviously we'll get the next step of relic, but I know a good majority of people are more in the mindset of "Let me do this now before I have to play catch up later." Since as easy as it is, I wouldn't want to jump into eureka after it gets abandoned.
Maybe not as quick as Derpadem did despite offering tome rewards, but it'll definitely die down.
Also, yeah Eureka shoutchat is largely Balmung people molesting people while in the Aether Control room.
