So, how is Pyros?

[Rhus]

I'm glad I'm not the only one thinking people aren't reading as often in pyros. They didn't res as often in pagos compared to anemos either but his is a step down on that even. I lost count how many times a Rdm or whm ran over my body...one was even in my party. Needless to say when they died 20seconds later as I was being ressed ...I left them. Karma.
Fates aren't being pulled early on my dc though...actually they're lasting a good 5mins or so before pulling which shocked me as pagos they were insta pulled and arguments about walkers and salty tears would always follow.
Nobody offering taxi but I think it's down to the mob volume. If you do offer a ride. You're prob going to be stoppping to res every few seconds as you can't really navigate around like anemos and pagos due to the sheer numbers of monsters and they're less segregated into spaces like the other Eureka had them. Too much effort

I haven't seen this kind of toxic behaviour in the hours I've been in Pyros yet... thankfully. Just an hour ago I was on my way to the second lvl 50 quest spot, very, very far away, south from any of the usual paths with 53-55 mobs packed, and I died right next to the destination. I thought I was gonna de-level when two kind souls came and rezzed me T_T that said I might see toxic behaviour tomorrow, I hope not...

I am surprisingly having some measure of fun in Pyros, 100% an improvement from Pagos. Or perhaps Pagos was so bad that anything that could came after would have been fun regardless lol. The worst is that if a player is late to the party and want to try Pyros after hearing that it is ok content, they'll have to slog through the previous worst content. Pagos needs to be brought up to par with Pyros

[hynaku]

Its name implies fire but most land is covered in Ice and snow like Pagos. It's just another Pagos to me.

I'm kinda hearing mixed things about Pyros which intrigues me, since its predecessor seemed to be universally hated which means that this has to be a step upwards in quality... maybe? Shame, though. As long as Pagos exists and continues being terrible, I will not be able to progress through Eureka.

[Antonio_Xul]

It seems to me the European servers are more toxic than NA servers. I've had a decent time on Aether. I've been raised many times during treks. No rides yet, but then again, I'm with my own level groups. No mounts yet.

I gotta agree on some points Rufalus wrote there, the chaos data center shout toxicity is getting more and more chaotic in pyros, imo it's even exceeding those in anemos or pagos.. players were whinning upon fate being pulled too soon because they were doing bunny fates which pops more regularly than NM fates, despite them doing nothing but afk when there are no active fates on the map.

And when they come upon the fate itself, they will bring nothing but more flocks of stray enemies to the NM so any other players will get tagged by the aggro instead of them being considerate and die on the sides so the mobs will get reset.. now I'm mostly playing tank and i tried to kill these stray mobs by myself because getting gold credit is easy enough as a tank even in solo.. but they barely even help killing these stray mobs they brought upon us and would prefer to get to the safe place, afk and move to other fate once they pop up..

Bunny fates giving exp may have been a mistake in this case, but who am I to say if the norms are those inconsiderate toxic players, i'm all against the odd here..

As for raising players, I often tend to choose who to raise these days around based on their shout, if not i'll just ignore them and they can hate me or whatever, i won't care

On a side note, there may be some players who actually play healers on pyros but dont actually want to heal because they fear of getting aggro.. i begin to meet healers in my past parties who actually will not heal or raise anybody despite we were trying to spawn NM.. they only cast their dps spell and heal themself.. on one ocassion, I actually experienced a healer who kept casting stone IV while some RDMs and other jobs were casting vercure and cure L actions on me in trying to spawn the level 50 NM..

[Nihility]

I'd say it would be great, all it really needs is a bit of a pruning back of monsters.
It's like ant farm density in there...

[Lastelli]

Bunny fates are still one of the most idiotic mechanics I've ever witnessed.

And this time they're mandatory for relic progression...unless you're willing to spend a few millions of gils and buy all the logograms you need on the market board.

Once again, the devs failed to foresee how the community, or part of it, would act in this environment. What is now happening is that all the instance is zerging the bunny fates because everyone needs fundamental/offensive logograms. However, only a fraction of players is actively doing...anything else really. NM spawn rate is extremely low, heatwaves are passing without anyone even trying to spawn the lvl 50 NM.

[KageTokage]

I half-wish they made the logograms untradable simply to make the lazy players suffer, since there's little keeping you from just AFKing to a weapon like every other Eureka instance.

[Innocuous]

Bunnies really need to only take AoE damage from mobs you yourself have aggroed, having them killed off by the careless or salty is the worst. Along with the RNG on top of RNG to get anything worthwhile from them and now experience from the bunny fates has gotten people to do them that have no intention of doing the bunnies. It makes sense in Pagos since it's now dead content, but not in the most recent instance.

Purely RNG substats are also god-awful, there is enough all-or-nothing RNG in Eureka without tying it to the weapon as well.
