How Would You Have Done: Pagos ?

[MPNZ]

Rework NMs to be like hunts with rapid respawn, and FOE roaming across the map for for parties and more stealth oriented exploration goals for solo-players with little time that would spawn in random places with the bunnies acting as markers, keeping players hidden, and marking tunnels//escape routes/ quick travel. Basically just not fate grinding over and over

1. I would Leave it as it is, increase the light from mob farm, especially from 38-40ish mobs.
2. Add a contribution system, eg. if afk at every fate not doing anything, you get no fate XP/Loot/light, does not mean that people that just got into the instance is affected or people that has done stuff elsewhere is affected either, pure aim towards afk people, as more stuff would spawn if more did stuff as it is.
3. if a giga fate spawns ( Cassie or Louhi ), instance would addon 30 min instance time diadem style or so, for people being able to actually reap the rewards of eg, 3 hours of trying to spawn Cassie.

Honestly the biggest change to what we currently have is, I wouldn't make Pagos it's own separate instance. I'd just zone line it from Anemos.
It'd give it a sense of world building, and also keep players connected.

All of that. I am absolutely sick of fates at this stage. These ideas sound a lot more fun.

I would have given players an incentive to explore, so no XP loss if you die and don't get raised for the first 2 levels in Pagos, and a large, hard to miss warning when you level up and the penalty comes back. I'd also make it that if you can reach the Aetherytes then you can attune.

Instead of the bunny Fates I'd have made treasure hunting more random and tied to your group, bunnies spawn when chaining mobs and your entire group gets the rewards if they find the treasure.

I'd have given access to mounts at 27 and put a really cool two-seater mount into the lockboxes as a reward.

ill keep pagos how it is but provide more QoL so its not bad

Hunting log that provides EXP daily And weekly for the big boost
that will also give crystals

challenge log provides crystals at max still not worth but better then nothing
challenge log changes so low levels in party dont mess up High levels progression of challenge log

mutated mobs guaranteed light
mutated mob at the 30 chain have a chance to give the party each one frosted protean crystal

All aetherites unlock at 27 (first one unlocks at 20)

Phoenix downs in vendor

A sleep potion for adds you suddenly aggro same CD as potions

NM monsters drop double the crystals bar Loui who will drop 50 like pazuzu

a Npc that tells you if loui is dead or not

bunny fates now give EXP not as much as NM but easy enough to grind in mean time to get low levels ahead

remove materia from bunny chest

remove confetti from lock boxes

move crystal dispenser to base or next to a aetherite not smothered in plant mobs guarded by a sleeping dragon

remove griffins

now there is treasure maps in eureka for lvl 25,30 and 35 players granting some goodies like Exp,minions,Glamor and Crystals/light for completion

FC buffs and Bonus exp works in Eureka (bar the obvious brand new ring,Ala mhigo earring Road to 60 etc etc)

a message that shows up when enough adds have been killed for fate "you sense a monstrous presents near by"

I would have realised that it cannot be done without a party, and used the DF or similar for it.


At the moment, it is unplayable. I don't mean there's not enough NMs, or it's a long grind, or any other stuff people dislike about it - I mean it is becoming practically impossible to get a party. And if you can't get a party, you're not doing it. Have tried going in a shouting for a party (this has worked ONCE), and today after reset put up a PF for challenge log, etc and in 1 hour only a single taker. Day after day I am met with the same pointless brick wall. This appears to be the SE mindset now - if you can't form an 8-man party, forget doing anything. It's one thing to lock people out of DF for savages/exes - but now we're locked out of the relic of all things? SE need to wake up to themselves fast. No-one is interested in paying a sub for a game THEY CANNOT PLAY.

Pagos needs a bomb...
