So, how is Pagos?

[ChaoticCrimson]

I'll be honest: I logged in after work last night, worked on some of the Monster Hunter event stuff, but I just could not bring myself to start Pagos. Knowing it's basically Anemos with more grinding and no mount did nothing to motivate me to get started. Not to mention I'm still only lv19 in Eureka, so I'd still have to catch up to most people.

Is it just me or do the NM's take longer to spawn inside Pagos than Anemos?

NM's appear to require a ridiculous number of add kills to spawn and to be on longer spawn timers than Anemos. It doesn't surprise me based on the way YoshiP would talk about Anemos I got the feeling he wasn't happy that the players found a way to play efficiently and finish as quickly as possible. It is obvious he has no idea how to make Pagos entertaining otherwise they would have come up with something better and not just a rehash of Anemos with added drudgery to try and slow us down.

Don't try to catch up in Pagos or you never will with the miserly XP. Some of the stuff I've been hearing says it is faster to level to 21 or 22 in Anemos so its something to keep in mind that you don't have to stop at 20 over there.

Depends on the NM. The Snow Queen, for instance, seems to only spawn during a thunderstorm.
Still doesn't stop the train beating the mobs for it for an hour or so.

Pagos is worse than Anemos in almost every way.

Uglier than Anemos. Anemos had lots of different environments. Pagos is snow snow snow ice snow snow snow ice snow snow snow ice snow snow snow ice snow snow snow ice.

There are so many mobs that they are hard to run past, and different elemental type mobs are so close to each other that you can easily aggro different elemental type enemies.

You need to swap elements much more regularly than in Anemos, but the timer to replenish more switches is still the same. It is easy to run out of switches.

XP is broken. Poorly designed XP. XP was not well-thought out. Grindiness has taken a new definition with Pagos XP. Did I forget to say anything to convey that there is absolutely no merit to the XP system used in Eureka? Just one level up, or just one level down, can have drastic effect on how much XP you earn by killing things. People have to be grouped with others within an extremely narrow XP range or else suffer very significantly inefficient XP gain. Are you 20 instead of 21? You will earn half as much XP from that infrequent fate that takes 10 minutes to kill.

This is related to XP, but it deserves being pointed out in its own paragraph. The chain reward system is dumb. It punishes non-grind activities, and rewards grind grind grind grind grind grind grind grind grind grind grind grind grind grind grind grind grind grind grind grind grind grind grind grind grind grind grind grind grin grind grind grind grind.

I have to say its really bad, they lower NM spawn times, did not increase xp for grinding and if someone in your group levels, it destroys the exp you gained. thats what was so great about the NM train, you didn't have to be in a group with the exact same level as you. The death penalty is stupid insane. I'm 21 and died, wasn't thinking and released, lost 150k exp. thats 25% of total needed for level, i have been gameing for 20 years and never seen anything like. This new has just ruined this and made it not fun anymore

how is pagos ? just big pile of scam,same boring thing,i stayed 30 min,and i was out,and will never enter again.

How could they come up with it ?

" Oh i know,lets create eureka,where player have to beat monster,again,again and again,and again and again"

Are the dev blind ? FF14 IS FU**** not an action game,don't implement endless grinding with a slow paced boring gameplay.

30 min,and i got a flashback of me strugling to stay awake during Anemos to go 20 and i just quitted pagos,this is,the biggest scam of content that the DEv did,it is a ***** Diadem 4.0 still less interesting than a race between 2 invisible snail,and they do it again,and again and again.

And they took away content to do that ? just admit you spent everything on alcoohol ,yacht and special party, because i dont see the supposidly "new content" that we were supposed to get.

You dev are the PROCRASTINATOR king and scammer,not even procrastinator,cause we would have got our new content later,but here,we just get less and less and you tell us we should look forward to it ? go bankrupt with your half assed game.

I'm spending more time in a mobile game than Pagos.

That's my review of Pagos.

[Kuroka]

But today it was weird, we cound not make snowqueen spawn or the thing from the demons, but when after i entered we fooled around and looked for ppl and all for about 20 min, then the worm was up, we cound not make it, tried to spwan the other two but after about an hour ppl who killed the worms for mob chaning had the worm spawn again in them... they were like 12 ppl max... i just dont know how when the other time in a new insance like 40+ ppl killed them for 90 min to spawn >_>

[Missbone]

To be honest i find the new Eureka Zone super annoying. I dont mind the grind and its not that i dont know what to do and so on. Its just it feels that everything takes so long, even with the right element allready the first enemys in front of door take forever to kill solo and they hit like a truck. Than like allready mention the first fate give literally 0XP, no one does it and there is no point in wasting time for it. I joined 3 or 4 instances so far each time for around 2 hours there whas just 1 spawn in total. The people i saw just go there to complete the challenges for xp and leave. This zone makes no fun right now and i can understand everyone who joins the old eureka after finishing the challenges, the xp gain maybe slower but its way more fun than the new zone.

spent 2 hours get to lvl 21 yesterday morning. Logged off the game, haven't logged back in.

When 'new' contents does this to you, it can't be a good.
