I was wondering why PQs were so dead at the early levels? I'm new to the game, but based on what I've read, both Carnival PQ and Ludi Maze PQ should be functional. Those give some of the best exp for their level range, but no one is ever there. Is it just the lack of lower-level players, or is there another reason I'm missing?
CPQ is not working yet, you can enter the area but that's it. LMPQ is still having some problems with the ticket drops and mob spawning, so the exp is not very good right now.
People can fly by PQ levels within hours or a few days. That's why even if there a lot of people PQing, it'd be for short amount of time before they move on. Unlike old school GMS, people had to do the same PQ or grind at the same location for very long period of time.
Since the release of the new source, the few working PQ's have been a bit buggy. KPQ and LPQ specifically D/C frequently and you can easily get "stuck" in a stage. For a long time KPQ had and extraordinarily low drop rate on the Squishy shoes which was an incentive for a lot of people.
I'm new as well but I always seem to find a party for KPQ within a few minutes. Can't vouch for the others though.
I always Kpq but thats just because I restarted playing recently, other than that I do quest and grind
