End game PUG forming thought.

I understand that the LFG is getting it's nob polished like the bright works in bootcamp. But over on free-dum, we used to all meet in Pocket D to form up trials. I've passed through PD a few times, but other than a few costume contests its been dead.

Is there an interest in utilizing pocket D to form up for end game content? Kind of like the city channels in WoW. As opposed to signing up for a bunch of global channels that seem to be dead as well.

Idk, it seems like most of us are soloing. Or only working in small tight groups. The exalted of CoX should be able to come up with a better way to work together.

Some servers mostly used Pocket D for Incarnate trials, while other servers mostly used the Rikti War Zone. Personally, while I think Pocket D makes far more sense, you may want to occasionally look in the Rikti War Zone for Incarnate trials. However, Exalted is still less than a week old, and free server transfers haven't gone live yet, so it's mostly occupied by toons lower than level 50. Give it a week or two.

Oh yeah, I never thought of RWZ. I'll check out there too. But you're right, it should start to populate soon. [/patiencelearned]

And btw, I love your sig.

I always preferred the RWZ because it has a crafting table, vendor, & tailor to use while between trials.

It always kinda amused me that of the servers I'm on, the only one that *didn't* use Pocket D as standard was Virtue.

The problem with the RWZ is that it's damned annoying to everyone that isn't doing a trial. Most people on Champion use the RWZ for Incarnate trials, and I can't express enough how annoying it is when people (and / or their pets - especially demons), block access to Lady Grey when you want to start or are on a LGTF. That never was an issue before Issue 19, and I practically live in the Rikti War Zone.

Also, RWZ can only hold up to 50 people, while Pocket D can hold up to 200, iirc.

I prefer the RWZ for that reason as well. In addition, depending on the alignment of your character, its not that difficult to get to the market between trials. Villains, Rogues and Vigilantes can pop out to Cap Au Diable and quickly buy, sell and run back.. Heroes can either head out to Atlas Park or to FF for a quick train ride to Talos.

In one spot you can buy inspirations, sell enhancements, craft IOs, alter your costume and quickly get to a portal to visit your base. Pocket D is okay and does offer some of that but no other coop area has quite as much in one small spot! These days my incarnates pretty much just live in the RWZ and I can quickly and easily alt and rejoin a league. And yes i play on virtue lol

I like RWZ over the D because there's always the option for a lady grey, mothership raid, Tin Mage or Apex as well as the iTrials. Causes more congestion, but more options for teaming as well.

Plus, I hang out over by Point Du Hoc and farm rikti spawns while waiting. Scored 2 purples and over 400m in decent recipes while everyone else on my league were standing around in a lump inside the base itself since iTrials went live.

So, I'll take the Warzone over the D anyday and twice on Saturday (since that's pretty much the only day I'm ingame anyhow, heh).

Thank you everyone at Paragon and on Virtue. When the lights go out in November, you'll find me on Razor Bunny.

They need to add a full service vendor to Pocket D and call it good.
