Maybe it’s better now than it was before, but I’ll still never get to Pyros/Hydatos unless they delete Pagos lol.
Have been catching a few people up, and Pagos is a lot easier than Pyros for everything except reflect farming.

People in Pagos are actually trying to DO THINGS in Pagos, which makes it go significantly faster.

You will be roadblocked in Pyros hardcore unless you preform a group specifically to do the things you want to do.
