The impossible odyssey of trying to clear Zurvan EX with the pf

[ZXSoru]

I'm sorry if this triggers or angers some people but I really have to ask this before I decide of still playing this and it might be too long but it's necessary for the context of the situation.

First of all I'm a returning player after 3.3, the Nidhogg patch, got bored and took a long break, came back after an invitation from a friend with that campaign but practically I'm like in a new server as pretty much everyone but a couple of people I knew stopped playing too.

I love the fights of this game and I like to clear and farm stuff, so when I knew the Party Finder covered the entire data center I thought it would make clearing stuff and finding statics much easier, as my server is not exactly big populated and I wasn't exactly fond of the high end FCs... would prefer a midcore static or similar.

Managed to clear SophiaEX with the PF after some tries, with echo obviously and was pretty fun and easily, but then I go to ZurvanEX and it has been nigh impossible to clear, after so many tries even with people who are already very well geared there hasn't been any results and not only for me but for those others who I talked to who are also in the same situation.

So many fail at simple mechanics or it's something or someone who messed up and then everyone just leaves after two or three tries... even A9S and A10S were much easier to clear with the pf.

So my question is, what do you think of this situation and better yet, do you think you need a group of known people to clear stuff? do you think the pf is a joke?

This is because as I said I want to begin anew and I don't think my server is good for clearing stuff unless you are in a certain circle of friends, but at the same time I don't want to feel like the PF is only useful for clearing casual content.

And I don't think I'm a bad player either, maybe not ready for A12S but surely for everything else, and that's not counting the amount of salt I've received just by pointing the difference between a "learning" and a "clear" party.

Sorry for the long post, I just want opinions of others who have been playing for more time than me.

You can go around the text limit by editing btw. Also I use to be one Brynhildr, after 3.3 it started to get empty, decided to go to Gilgamesh. Might want to try that, a different server can be new enough for you

Not very well versed in these forums, but thanks.

And so people I talked to have said Gilgamesh has a weird reputation of elitists, but I guess it's better to at least have more people to run things with.

The thing is Gilgamesh is....... well a mixed bag. There's dirty casuals( me ) there's RPs ,theres Raiders, literally there's multiple types of people here. Yes there's toxic people but they're either trolls or hardcore Cutscenes skipping people that are usually quiet( unless they're showing off) but there's amazing kind hearted people that can help you and teach you things. Also Selli is here( she's amazing)

This should just be an automatic bot that posts first on every thread made. While I didn't read the OP's multiple posts and the backstory "It all began with a stone, Or so the legend says..." I got an idea and went to the replies because I was curious about this too. I took a few weeks off of the game and had a hard time getting time in for Z-Ex, got to last phase stacking on colors. Good to know it looks to be about the same, I can stick with Raid Finder..where people don't get so salty as much if you can't skip SOAR.

PF is a mixed bag of nuts. It just takes time and patience. Eventually you may get a good group that will stick together long enough to clear with. I got my Seph Ex clear in PF and my Sophia Ex clear in the Raid Finder funnily enough. I never had a static group of people to run this content with either so I was stuck with PUGs. I often made more progress in the PFs I started myself then ones I joined. Just keep at it and you will get it eventually.

P.S. I did have to transfer from Siren to Gilgamesh to find groups to run Seph Ex with as this was before cross server PF was a thing.

PF is data center wide. no need to come here.

PF can be good. PF can be bad. You are tyring to do content that has been out for months. People who HAVE cleared it don't join clear partys. Youa re stuck with the people who haven't. They haven't cleared it for one of two reasons. They are either bad, or they are late. Unfortunately, it seems the be primarily the bads who you got with. keep trying.

They are either bad, or they are late

Because someone who struggles to clear some of the hardest content in the game is 'bad'.

/sigh
