I mean, I've been using the "Leave" button in the duty window, so... yay?

Has anything changed since the patch or is it still a dreadfully painful grind? I keep seeing how the devs are touting how cool and Anemos like Pyros will be but if I am looking at a monster of a grind...

No changes as far as I am aware. I haven't been in there in several weeks.

"The exit is more visible" is about all I remember reading.

The only difference is that it's less populated, so it's slightly worse now.

My personal experience with recent Pagos, so hardly a general rule, is that I feel you have less trigger happy people when it comes to pulling NM.
I had the time to walk up half the map before anyone attacked targets like Holy Cow or Louhi. So maybe, there are less people, but I felt definitely less toxicity.

Hopefully I finished my weapon westerday so I won't have to go back in but but yeah its slower to fullfill the instance and start the train. But nothing really change, really depend on the people here, some wll pull ASAP some other wait a bit. Otherwise nothing really change at all.

It's worse, because now nobody is doing it. I've stuck my head in during Eastern prime time a few times since the patch and stuck around to see how the instance grew. It didn't.

I'm probably going to have to write off continuing, since I still need 13 frosted crystals for just my first weapon in Pagos.

Here's to hoping those nerfs come sooner rather than later, then.

I went back to Anemos because I wanted to work on my DRK weapon more.


17 people.

left and queued again.


Same instance.


As someone who likes doing relics for glamour off and on, like I'm planning to do with my Anima weapon to get Aettir, I now look to 5.0 and ask myself -how? How can anyone do Anemos alone? That's not even mentioning Pagos, Pyros, and whatever the last one is. Especially since you need to do FATEs for items and crystals, or to find items.

How can anyone do this relic now? 17 people in one instance that can fit 144, and it takes anemos crystals to upgrade your items at the end - which are either FATE only or you pray to every god in every pantheon you get one while chaining, if that's even possible.


I don't even think nerfs will do anything. The way the relic works now pretty much screws everyone who wants to work on it once the content is dead. Sigh.

went in about 10pm last night, 11 people...left. Went back in, still 11 people (same instance). Left, gave it 5 minutes while I unloaded some lockboxes, back in, same instance, 14 people. Went and done Alliance Roulette instead lol I'm only on my 2nd weapon and have 5 of my last 16 light crystals needed. PPlease just let me finish my 2nd weapon before Pyros xD
