So, how is Pagos?

[Solarra]

I decided to go back in and see how it was after the changes.
I got two levels in a couple of sessions (4hrs approx) despite dying once trying to get to my group and losing xp.

It's still frustrating and the penalty on having people of different levels in your group is a pain. Trying to spawn Snow Queen I realised that I wasn't getting any credit for the challenge log, we had one level 34 in the group while the rest were between 27 and 31. Oh well I thought, at least they're helping to spawn, then I noticed they were hugging the Aetheryte afk. A little while later they left and somebody else joined, they were level 21... So, despite killing plenty of mobs, my challenge log is still incomplete.
I'm not blaming the group leader because I've tried forming groups myself and the alternative is to wait out a sizeable portion of your time trying to get enough people of the right level together. Are the people saying chaining is more efficient taking the time it takes to form a group into account? Or have I just been very unlucky?

The atmosphere in there is still pretty bad compared to Anemos. Getting a raise is still hard if my experience and all the shouts going out is anything to go by. As somebody said earlier, it's not snow in there, it's salt.

After I came out I asked myself the question, 'Was that fun?' and to be honest, no, I cannot say I enjoyed it at all. It passed the time, I did feel I got something out of it but it wasn't fun.

most of the chainers might be getting their groups by making them on pf instead of making them on the instance, you still have to wait on that situation anyway

Yes, when I went in there was one PF group for people over lvl 30 and the second time none. It seems like you should be prepared for a wait whichever way you try to do it. At least Anemos was somewhere you could pretty much jump straight in. A level-synch would help so much.

When I was in there yesterday, I didn't see much in the way of toxic behavior and people were being rezzed. However, it was only one group session and a small amount of a solo session for challenge log.

I only join PFs with a level range or more often than not create a pf. Some people just wait for someone else to create a PF.
