So, how is Pagos?

3. If they're going to have this elemental leveling system independant of normal levels, why not just sync us up to 70 inside and let people get exp for alternate jobs while in there similar to deep dungeons? The ilvl sync is so low that gear is pretty much irrelevant anyway. They could just make it 100% irrelevant and just have elemental level and magia board matter.

This is my biggest complaint. The gear reward is 355 (Anemos) and it syncs to 300. That is terrible game design for no other reason than artificial difficulty. This sync was mitigated by the magia board, but Pagos didn't expand it.

Pagos syncs to 300 as well. Why? No magia board expansion, mobs increased health and damage making them HP sponges.

Hey look, the patch notes mention a change to the light people can get in Pagos.

Does it bother specifying the amount? No, of course not. In fact, the boost could be a joke like the spawn rate of Notorious monsters. <_<

Will it be enough to get me back into Pagos, or many people at all? I can't speak for everyone else, but I can say that I'm severely doubtful. I have other,more productive things to do with my time, like even my rare attempts at writing smut for people to read in places where I'm not even going to earn money for my efforts. I could clean my bathroom floor with a toothbrush and it would be more productive, and possibly more enjoyable, than Pagos.

Thx, SE, but it's quite possibly so little, far, far too late.

Cautiously optimistic. Glad they did the right thing and boosted light before Pyros is released so we can get some weapons ready, maybe. It has to be a huge increase because the original light rate was so low unless you were doing specific repetitive things in specific spots or had incredible luck.

The notes mention an increase but not a significant increase so I expect only a minimal increase. Unless it reduces the light and leveling grind by up to 75%, I don’t think it will motivate people to come back. Based upon my modest playtime, I would have needed weeks to a month to finish one weapon. It needs to be The same time it takes in Anemos which is hours.

NM's now give gentle light. Regular mobs still give only feeble, which is ever so slightly a bit more than old feeble. In short: still terrible.

Regarding the elemental exp change it had been sitting at 20-25% of a level for the two logs (the low enemy one and the 60 enemy one)

At EL 31 it was roughtly 5% and 14% of a level before.

Now it's 9.5% and 28.4%

So my napkin math says the challenge log exp was effectively doubled.

HOW how allowing challenge logs to give LIGHT when you are max lvl, I mean really, they didn't even think of that?

That would mean they have to replace all the awards if you're max level, and that's a Pandora's Box I doubt they want to open right now
