[dev1015] Still no Abyssea VNM adjustments still a major point of congestion

[Economizer]

if you have 3 linkshells going after Amhuluk you have the following options to arrive at that NM.

Jagged Apkallu Beak:
-Funereal Apkallu pop NM
-Gold chest
Clipped Bird Wing:
-Manohra pop NM
-Gold chest
Bloodied Bat Fur:
-Asanbosam 15 min respawn
-Gold Chest

VNMS in any area:
-tier 1 with instant respawn
-tier 2 with 15+ min respawn
-tier 3 with 15+ min respawn

Not only is this a problem with VNMs, this is also a problem with the NM Fistule, although the requirements to get that are slightly easier. If there is competition for these, sometimes, it is better to just decide to go do something else though. At least with hour repop VNM outside Abyssea, people will gladly team up with you...

Basically how can you call the following balanced:
3 ??? to obtain the following.
Amhuluk=Coin of Balance (3)
Cirein-croin=Jewel of Balance (3)
Sobek=Stone of Balance (3)

Only 1 NM of:
Tristitia=Card of Balance (3)

This is a big reason I've had issues getting the Card of Balance. Granted, they added this pop to three NMs (that aren't easy to defeat) in Tahrongi, but it still is a pain in the butt, especially when everyone who fights any of these mobs generally has the Card of Balance already promised to someone.

I love you.
Seriously I mean it.
Not only you manage to read my comment but you managed in a single day to get a reply from the developement team.
Sometimes I wonder if you have a Central Processor Unit in place of a brain for being able to process so many posts every day.
You (and your colleagues) are just made of pure awesomeness. A bliss for all of us.
I'm so glad you guys got employed

Not to burst your bubble but the JP forums had this conversation weeks ago and that's where that reply comes from =P

i want whatever it is the dev team are smoking

[Crocker]

Don't forget 10-15 min respawns on the T2 and even with all staggers you don't get the abyssite to change, you can go hours claiming all of them and never see a T3 pop, while every other empy time spawn is 100% KI with red stagger.

Ive gotten 50 Briarius Helms and 50 Sobek Skins in the last few days but the shield .... 4 souls total and Ive been working on it a long while now.

1/23 for a t2>>t3 today in altepa

Me = witness to this.

so the only way to get the devs to do something is to post on the JP board and call them gijins?
開発者は、悪名高いモンスターのスポーンのいくつかに、よりポップな条件を追加する必要があります。すなわちVNMs。

[Monchat]

at least they post in here. You should look at the french or german forums lol. They just dont care. Those forums are some ghost town forum to prove that they care about Fr/Ge when they clearly do not.

Actually no they didn't they only added Timed Pop KIs for Emp NMs to Gold boxes.

Edit: Sobek and Amhuluk still require killing a NM for the last KI.

Edit2: Here's the list for reference from the update post:
Tunga / Amun / Gukumatz / Heqet / Lord Varney / Hrosshvalur

Sobek does not require the pop NM (Gukumatz), you can now get it from a gold box. So Sobek can be straight out of the box. You even quoted the update notes which now shows Sobek's time spawn KI is gold box now

To my knowledge you can't get the Bugard KI from a box.
