So, how is 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 >_>

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.

I finished my challenges in the old eureka. I'm super annoyed with pagos right now. FC mate asked if I wanted to do it today. I told him flat out, "I'm not going back in there. I hate it." We went and duo mobs in the old zone to finish our challenge log. He got level 21 and I got up to 22 (was already 21 and half way through level from yesterday).

Yea thats the same i feel i only whas in pagos so long because it whas easier for me to find a group there for the challenges than in Anemos and helped a friend. But now after i figured out how stuff works i will stick with Anemos. I whas realy looking forward to the new zone but this is just crap.

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.

Yoshi-Pees and XIV dev team aim to bring you rehashed old content with a smile, painted over to look new but it's still old...but they want you think it's new cause they think you're dumb enough to do it and they can get away with it each time without facing backlash from the players. Watch. When 5.0 rolls around, we are gonna get the same old crap (*cough diadem 4.0 cough) but it will again be painted over to look new and exciting.



We will get another version of Diadem, another POTD, etc and Yoshi-Pee's will say it's "New and NEVER done before in ANY mmo". Yeah, right...okay. The same lie doesn't always work twice.

The content quality went down after HW with SB. They need to stop rehashing old crap, and make some new unique content with some damn feeling. If FFXI, a 16 or so year old MMO could do that, why can't a modern game like this? There's no excuse for this. There's no excuse for consistently reusing old content and making us think it's new but it really isn't.

Instead of reusing old crap, make the time to make some new content...this "New and Never done in ANY mmo" content that Yoshi-Pees kept saying. Was it all a lie? Were almost 4 major patches into 4.0, and I've yet to see this new and never done before in any mmo content. 4.0-4.3 brought nothing but rehashed content (diaeureka anyone?).


To Yoshi-Pees and team, not all of us players like your safe approach to gaming content, nor the "status quo". Eventually, others will start getting sick and tired of the repetitve and predictable formula you've cursed this game with. Take the training wheels off. Relaunch was 5 years ago. It's time to break the cycle and git gud. We are paying you monthly subscriptions for rehash content. Some of your supporters might like it, but a lot of us don't. I'm not paying for repackaged old content, I'm paying for great quality gaming with addictive, exciting content. Not soul draining grinding for crap that gets quickly outdated.



We, the players, deserve better.

So had a run at pagos finally. Had a really horrible time. Managed to slowly hit 21, got killed at the 21 quest spot and nobody rezzed me despite shouts and 2 whm walking past me. The timer ran out and I lost half a bar of exp.
The penalty is far too harsh (150k), its really off putting that a few hours effort in eureka can just be taken away so easily. The quest spots need to be more accessible. Definitely left a bitter taste in my mouth. Honestly dont think the effort is worth the reward as it is right now.

Dont tell People that you have to Farm Light (Aether)by killing Mobs and doing Fates to upgrade your weapon.
Eureka + Light Farming = fun. Or not.

On patch day I didn't even log in because I knew it was just be the same, mindless, dumb content. Only log on for ultimate raid atm. SE sure knows how to deliver fresh, innovative content and spread with months apart just so you can enjoy the first mindless grind before the next mindless grind. Who makes these decisions?

[Rufalus]

Yes the terrain at low level is not interesting and we are stuck there for days because slow exp. It's pretty much just a flat snow field and 3 NMs for the first 40 hours or however long it will take to climb higher. Anemos has a nicer start with squib sands beach and two other paths out from the starting sanctuary with more varied terrain and aesthetics.

The magia board and elements still does not feel like a successful gameplay system. As somebody mentioned there are enemies with many different elements packed into a small space and you'll be doing very low dps unless you rotate to the correct ones, but then your switching is on cooldown. It seems like it would be less annoying if it just automatically rotated to the optimal element, which removes the need for a magia board altogether. The only real decision comes if you are tanking, then you may switch from offensive element into defensive. I don't know of anyone who is spreading their magicite to many elements instead of stacking all into a single element, since this will make you much less effective than maxing a single element and just rotating every time you switch to fighting a different enemy species.
