So, how is Pagos?

[Stormfur]

What's agonizing is that the very aetherites you need to get to in order to participate in similarly-leveled NM fights can't even be accessed until you're level 30!

[Mixt]

Yeah, the level requirements on the aetherites is too high.

As is the EXP curve on the last couple of levels.

And the rate at which you get light from mobs is a bit on the low side as well, i wish it was a bit more consistent, even if it's low i at least want reliable progress, not complete randomness.

i spent almost two full lockouts in pagos, grinding my way up to 32... it was hell... and annoying as ppl left left and right, to get a stable party is... hard. Meanwhile i heard em try and spawn Louhi, with few luck just in the middle of the 2nd lockout they made it (i tried to get in the same instance again since i knew what they were doing and knew about what mobs were already up) and i even made it there, but still... the time ppl had to waste for that, despite having the right weather and all... *sigh*

IF they have to make it hard, parties should get their own NM which only exists for them, like leaves or smt... its not about the actual effort, its the waste of time...

[Matrinka]

As much as I want a relic weapon this expansion... suffering through Pagos just isn't worth it. I went in, got to level 21, and decided that it is just way too mind-numbing to go back in. This will be the first relic I've skipped. Unless they change the way it works, the content is dead to me.

Found a new way to enjoy Pagos.

It involved ignoring Pagos entirely and paying 45 euro to Blizzard, but I'm having a great deal of fun so far.

[Aster_E]

I mean, you can try, but I wouldn't recommend it, with or without lube.

Still without any cassie earrings for our world population. I heard the NM spawned twice on my datacenter so far. We did try slaying hundreds of enemies to make it pop tonight but no luck. Why is there a rare NM which most people will never see unless it's adjusted. Copycat minion and the earrings come from there.

To make you try to spawn it and keep you busy with it obviously they know exactly how hard it is to spawn but it's part of their recent strategy to keep players somehow busy with the least amount of work done/money spend on the game patches.

Tried it a bit more, some thoughts.

* The "chain mobs 6 levels above you" thing...it seems really tight. Like we were a mix of 22-20, chaining on 26s or 27s, i forget, one tank two healer 6 dps, and it was very tight just to do the chain. Like you could lose it unless everyone played hard; when one member dc'ed, we lost the chain.

* The fates..they seem to spawn right on top of farming grounds now, with a lot more enemies. Twice we had a fate pop and just got murdered because of so many enemies in a little space.

* Were'nt they supposed to fix job changing so you could everywhere? It's worse not being able to do it in pagos because its much harder to get to camps.

* there's only one small starting area instead of two. Map feels very small at lower levels. trying to get to the 25 fate is incredibly hazardous.

[Sebazy]

6 above is iffy unless you've got a group that's at the same level.

A party spread over 20-22 is very unlikely to be able to keep chains going. 5 above would be far more consistent at that point.

And good spot Marxam <3
