Is it possible to start Pagos now?

[Marcellus_Cassius]

I decided to check it out after reading the train is back. I am level 20. When I enter and ask for a group no one invites. No one joins if I try to make one. It seems like everyone is lv30+ at this point.

If a NM pops it is always too far away for me to make it in time since I don't have a mount and the map is so big. Everything hits really hard so soloing isn't viable.

Over the last few days I tried to give the content a chance, but ended up logging out after 20 minutes and playing another game.

I'm in the same boat, I can't join the NM train because once it dies everyone runs away to the next spot in a manner that I can't match since they have mounts or just tele via the crystal. I can't even kill the first mob that I come across past the gate and no luck getting enough people my level to do it, I will try again during the weekend but it felt like the worst part of xi just sitting there shouting for an hour. Also, in xi at least we had sneak and invis, the amount of mobs packed together in this map is a bit much.

go into anemos and complete your challenge logs there. you'll get to 22-23 very easily. that should help you get around the first available part of the map. few more nms and you'll get to 25-26. then next week's challenge logs will get you 27-28. and then you're screwed because 4.4 drops and everyone will be doing that for however long it takes them to do that (i'd say a month). then people will trickle back into Pagos.

[Marcellus_Cassius]

Yeah thats probably the best option, I found the nm train still alive and well in anemos to my surprise.

Anemos is doing fantastic while Pagos is having trouble.

Apparently, if we knew how, it’s possible to spawn the NMs just as fast as Anemos but we have yet to figure out the trick give spawning each one. The Devs wanted us to try things out and work as a community to figure out how to unlock each one but they are now starting to think that they may have made it too hard to discover.

Hopefully they will give us some hints soon, otherwise, Pagos is going to be as dead as HoH is during prime time.

The other thing they need to do is move all the sleeping dragons into a farmable spot and allow for faster and safer movement around the map. There is enough danger in the zone as it is, we don’t need more one shot mechanics.

Ultimately, they need to give up on making it hard and let us have fun. Ride the train and get all the relics you want!

What are you talking about it makes total sense based on the story line. It can be a bit of hassle, welcome to MMO's, yes, however gives us something to do for those who are into relics and have maxed everything else -.- besides it's not that hard, simple mechanics, gear and abilities are not taking away they just added a elemental weakness and defense wheel. They took away fate trains why? do to people complaining it was not fair -.-. Challenge books was updated and duo in is a nice alternative to quick xp while you wait for Fates. To some is annoying, normally do to lack of common sense that that in the old days there was an xp penalty for most MMO's. Hell some still have it. the game is too easy as it is anyways-.-/. Besides people can duo , can get decent xp. and just people for fates then others leave simple.

A lot of people don't care about the story dude, also this isn't a "welcome to mmos" type thing. No other mmo on the market constantly takes away your progression with level syncs, ilvl syncs, and constantly adding leveling to side content. Because other mmos know how to make lasting difficult content without taking away your progression.

Eureka could've still been tied to the relics and made challenging/lasting without the whole leveling thing all over again.

I managed to find a train group this afternoon. I spent awhile trying to reach them and died multiple times. By the time I got close something else spawned and everyone ran back off in another direction. I ended up just leaving in frustration. This just isn't a good way to spend my free time. I used to like making relics a lot

[AlexanderThorolund]

I work full time and when I tried Pagos when it launched I couldn’t get into it like I did with Anemos. I recently started again after the fate exp changes. I won’t lie. 20 to 30 are a nightmare and you will struggle and scream in frustration at missing fates but if you can preserve after level 30 it gets a lot easier and more fun. I also get very limited time to play like the OP but levelling is not the problem with Pagos it’s the light farm at level 34/35, it’s soul destroying lol

Hmmm there are a few of them old MMo's and your right hence it's considered OPTIONAL content. I mean people who like cash shops and simple things really kill a good game. This has been nerfed sooo much only reason I play it is for lore. Most people actually enjoy the lore. Also keep in mind, relics history and how they work. IT"S AN OPTIONAL GRIND. Game is too easy as it is.

Please quit say Pagos is optional. If by that logic all. Content is optional out side of MSQ. It’s not optional by any means. Ppl must do it to have any chance or getting a relic. Bc let’s face it in 1-2 months no one will ever go back. I haven’t the slightest idea on how SE is going to nerfthis content later.

That is the logic. though. In order to progress in most content, you have to progess in MSQ. You don't need relic.
