Throw us a bone (Pagos and the Rising)

Well, hidden stats on gear were pretty common in FFXI, maybe Eurekan gear has hidden light bonuses on it.

Also make sure you face east.

It's a bit sad that we're all losing time because they don't want to give us some tips. The content is being hated unstead.

Wanted to start a topic about this myself. Good looking out, TC.

So yeah... Dear Developers;

For The Rising: If you would have us wait around for hours, not knowing when the NPC will appear and even make us wonder if the NPC and the event is bugged WITHOUT a prior warning or indicator that the instance only appears every x amount of hours, please let us know somehow in-game. I got lucky and got in without a few minutes of completing starting event, but my sister took 3-4 hours of waiting to get into the instance. So please, give us fair warning when something takes an exuberant amount of time to trigger.

For Pagos: The fact that we had to have several hot-fixes for this content already screams foul play. Now I hear that we have yet to "figure out" what the most proficient way of playing Pagos is. So, dear developers, where are our clues? Our hints? Pagos is huge, has several systems running throughout it (bunnies, NMs, lights, Mutations, Adaptations) that are complicated, RNG bases and coincidental. We could go about it a hundred different ways but any attempt at figuring out anything secondary because it takes much more time that we are willing to give it to just "figure things out". The hint could even be the most cryptic thing you can think of but its presence would give us something to start with and, considering how many people play Pagos whether they like it or not, we could have figured something out by now.

Just... why? I can almost understand wanting us to figure out Pagos ourselves but the systems are so counter intuitive and unfriendly that almost nobody (at least now) is will to give it the time (its a LOT of time) to figure it out. And with The Rising, it baffles me how they could put in an Instance that takes hours to reappear without some sort of prior notification for it. I mean, if we were warned then we could have played any of the many other pieces of content of the game instead of waiting around wondering if it was bugged.
