Any new HNM coming?

[Karbuncle]

More like sitting in canyon doing Glavoids for 10 ppl gets annoying. I wanna do stuff other ppl can't do. Abyssea the only thing to do, and since VWNM gonna give cruor buffs it just makes things even worse. More crutches for the sloppy portion of players left.

Yah, I know that kinda sucks.

Also, Hopefully the buffs for the VW system aren't as powerful as Abyssea... So there won't be that "Big" of a crutch for players. While i think the content should be accessible, I think the idea of watching a duo group Zombie something for 40 minutes is a bit on the extreme side.

Need to let SE know we love Abyssea, but at the same time, challenging content away from that system would be lovely too.

(however, do take note, NMs like Rani, Raja, Ogopogo(yes, hes a whore), Shinryu, etc, show even with our god-buffs, some NMs can be quite difficult. So while we may get these "buffs" in the new system, the NMs may pose a good threat still!)

Both = Win.

show me an hnm that was in the game 7 years ago, and ill show you an hnm that can be zombied to death

apparently you forgot that gilsellers were not only claiming but killing hnm's

there was a zombie fight of AV that lasted 3 days when one group first got it to stop 2houring

avesta could solo pretty much anything before you knew it existed

oh and the hardest thing this game has ever had, you still havent beaten the way SE wants you too


so tell me natenn, when you wake up, do you cry, do tears come out of your eyes cause i got what i wanted, and your "game" is now over with? how long till you quit, have you already, do you have a razor blade next to your bed


QQ more, we won, you lost

[Natenn]

brb bumping a 2 week old thread cause im mad.

ANYWAY, who is this "we" you are reffering to? what exactly did you win? and how did I lose? What did i lose? we still got 2 lvl cap increases yet to be implemented and it would make sense to add "real" HNM at 99, stop trying to act like you know me, chances are im more skilled then you, go flame elsewhere my friend.

[Natenn]

With that aside, we should get "real" HNM at 99 id hope. Ones found through exploration that are rarely up and have great drops. Also hard enough that the average LS would have plenty of trouble, so many old players waiting on new HNM to come back to reactivate their accounts.

[Sureal]

the "we" is you and your minions who think world pop hnm's are the way to be

you lost because your precious world pop hnm's are now spawned, awwwwww

and how does it make sense to be actively changing the game away from the way it was, only to bring it back at 99, it doesnt thats how


and ill throw your own "logic" against you, you dont know me, dont act like you do, and chances are your not better than me, and im not better than you, but i do see the bigger picture much better than you, youve made that more than obvious, so go crawl back into your bed, QQ into your pillow, and let me get back to my game lol


btw, when you quit, can i have your stuff, apparently you have a lot of really good stuff from all your PS2 CLAIMING lol

[Arlan]

Actually Sureal ..>.>
Maybe you should let him give me his stuff instead... I could use more good stuff from his PS2 Claiming lol

[Natenn]

Guess we'll see at or a few updates after 99 won't we?

Natenn is obviously one of the only skilled players posting in here, and yes, its because he understands that HNM are meant for the dedicated player, not the people hoping for all poppable nm's all the time. You dont need a bot to claim so stop using that as an excuse on why up until abyssea your characters gear sucked. And honestly, the excitement from just claiming an HNM outweighs the gear it drops. Im sure a majority of the people that are against time spawns have actually never even tried to camp with their amazing social ls, because "everyone bots". Maybe go out with more than your 3 friends and update your 56k dial up modem and youll see your claim rate increase. HNM is endgame, and endgame is not for everybody, sorry. Either get better and join a real ls or stick to things you can kill within the 2 hours a day you feel like playing the game.

As much I like the general meaning of your post, I have to disagree.

Game has changed and the company has REALLY changed. I don't like the changes but it is what it is.

Do I hope for more HNM spawn? Yeah. Do I think it will happen? Probably not. That's just looking at the general direction they have taken the updates. Update get more and more rediculous/pointless/lolz.

iQuit but if they add new hnm and more variety to endgame (that makes SENSE... /stare dynamis update) then maybe someday i'll make a comeback. I'm not an elitest bitch, I'm a bored one who will not be trolled or taken advantage of by SE.

I know people will come to SE defense but a lot of the stuff they do feels very trollish. It feels like theyre trying to milk us while not providing us with meaty content/updates. Fixes do not satiosfy me. They broke the game, they should hire the manpower and rescourses to fix it and DRAGGING the new cap out, imo, is probably due to the fact that they WONT address this issue because they don't want or don't have the manpower to fix or readjust XI. This is not limited to HNMs.

I will not be milked or distracted from the fact that abyssea has made this game suck and the updates following it have been abyssea related ish. I'm sick of abyssea. I... Can't. I hate the dynamis changes JUST because RELICS SUCK.. People are complaining about the usefullness of RELICS not the entertaining quality of DYNAMIS.. GTFO *rage*. Oh look! Neat little fixes for dynamis! K.. But relics still suck and thats the reason for dynamis and no w-t-f change to offer me 3 weeks worth of amusement is going to change that. Throwing the player base little pieces of bread is not gonna cut it. We want a steak. I'm not falling for this "oh.. were just slowly raising the cap due to balance issues and we have something up our sleeve *wink*".

Talk to the hand SE, ok? What balance issues?.. Most ppl have all jobs they want 90 and cap merits. What you holding out for? Oh, idk.. Maybe it's because you know this is it for FFXI due to resource issue because your mmo (which ffxi is funding) is bombing harder the spirits within, which was actually a good movie. You guys probably don't have many varsatile plans for the game. This direction is pretty much it and it will mostly be fixes excluding the cap increase and JA/Magic additions. Lol@new areas,expansion,ps2 limtations, new mob colors,hearty content etc etc.

Though, I could be wrong. I hope I am. As an 8 year retired player, I'd love to eat my words. But I know a marketing scheme when I see one and this "holding out" the new cap is probably tied into the plans and timeline that is Fixing Final Fantasy XIV. Hmmm, I wonder why. Lolz.

i agree, especially with the first sentance.
