Can we have it? Even if drops are gimped etc, i'd be nice to update the game with some new lotto/timed NMs spread out throughout vanadiel.

make exploring etc more fun, and the hunts are always cool.

Last time we saw new NMs was with evoliths. During the atrocious wotg era. ugh

Yep, supported. No MMO is complete without it's named/notorious monsters. They've been replaced with chests which I "know" is one of the points(though minor, if at all in comparison to motivating people to do GoV) of them for GoV and while it's cool to not be competing with a dozen people for a hot new NM drop, I also want to see NMs here and there at the very least. If for no other reason than to drop crafting/synergy materials. Preach the cons as much as one likes but the hunt is always a thrill when you see that NM and you get the claim. It cannot be denied. Only bitched about when you don't get claims :mad:

In before someone mistakes this request as world HNM.

You would kinda need new zones to make new NMs unless they just throw new NMs in pre-existing zones.

I personally wouldn't mind new tiers of Wyrms and 21-24h HNM. Not like i had the time to camp but still. I know some Ppl that woundnt mind. And how is exploreing fun if nothing is dangerous really.

Normal NMs for 99ish would be cool too..... timed not lotto....

24 hour HNMs would be a step backwards. They need to add hard HNMs that aren't 24 hours spawns and also don't rely on the shitty Voidwatch system.

24hr world spawn NMs wouldn't help your adventuring spirit. They'd never be up, The best thing you could hope for while exploring is 10-40 People in a tiny area with bots on.

While i admit, I do miss World-Spawning NMs, I do not miss HNMs, The only one I ever saw up ever was Jormungand, I'd prefer new NMs like Lotto/Timed Spawn from the new level 99+ Exp mobs, Something like that, if we were so going to get new "world spawn" NMs.

Notorious Monsters are fun to kill, Adding a slew of new high level ones to spawn off all the new high level monster would just be epic.

I love our Pop-system right now, Eliminates a lot, saves a lot of drama. I don't want HNM days back of camping windows, but finding random NMs off exp mobs like you used to back in the day.. (Ose camp anyone?) Would be a little exciting for like, the first 5 times it happened or so.

Uh....no. Terrible idea. Like someone said above it would be cool "the first 5 times" then after that it would be 20 people trying to claim the same NM. Anyone who wants that obviously doesn't remember how things used to be.

VW isn't perfect but the pop system is about as good as it gets. No drama, no "you stole my mob!", no standing around during "windows".

I think it work if they had some kind of qualifier for getting claim. Maybe something like feeding it another NM like that slime in abyssea. Something that takes a bit of luck and skill to figure out.

world spawn HNMs = no thanks, not unless they're pop item spawned and not timered.

Haven't we been through this already?

i think the whole entire game, as in most areas, need new notorious monsters.

game has been updated so much and added so many new things, new caps, etc.

most all world nms are useless. it might be cool if they went through the areas and added new NMs.

Yes please im all for this, i hate the people who don't want more new nms but assume no one else does.

Fact check no one makes you camp or do them, drops can be shared with some other event.

Fact check, they already tried that. It sucked.

This about sums it up.


Yes, because I want to sit around for 10 hours waiting for LoO to pop. So I can out claim the RMT bots with steal, just so we can CFH before we whipe, because the main healer had to go mow the lawn.

Hey guys remember when we all hated anyone who wasn't in our LS? And you needed to pay 3000 dollars to get an E body without paying the other guy who paid 3000 RL dollars 20million gil? And when the market on any rare item from an NM that you didn't need an alliance for was controlled by RMTs? And then remember when the RMTs even started doing HNMs to sell the r/e drops to real players? And when if you wanted to gear your character you had to plan all your social events and sleep schedule around an HNMs pop time? Man those were the days.

There are some people who have lives. We can't spend schedule our lives around NMs like others. Why should I be punished for having a life? I think if more NMs are added, they should be forced spawn or 10min spawn like in Abyssea. Everyone can agree that it's a great system.

To make the fights more fun, we should add the proc system to the new NMs.

The only people who want to go back to that are the ones who paid all that money for claim bots. This sort of thing should stay dead and buried, the only thing worth camping now is Tiamat, and I pray it stays that way.

Im praying for a New Expansion with the level qualify like Treasures of Aht Urhgan.

1- New areas
2- New enemies Normal and NMS
3- New battlefields Like Einherjar.
4- Besegied
5- New jobs
6- A job specialitation System based on Limits points, can be earned only in this new areas
7- New races and a option for change Our Race/Face/Hair Etc.
8- New Weapons/WS/Armors/Clothes.

I think FFXI need so bad a new expansion like Treasures of aht urghan. No more fucking revamped areas.

FFXI need lots of work but our DEVS Refuse work they are turning into Lazy Devs =/

They are lazy but it also cause SE has the forsight of a 5 year old and the reasoning skills of a 3 year old.

Noone hunts timed HNMs for gimped items. And noone wants timed HNms with superior items. That era of FFXI is gladly over.

If you want something to explore request a new expansion with lots of new Zones. Something like ToAU. Would give you enough to explore.

Not so much "lazy" as "not as many people working on it as should be."

Yeah i dont want the old HNM system back. Im glad that shit is over and i hope never Return.

What i liked of TAU was the variety of new areas, etc.
