HNMs and the future of FFXI

[Camiie]

Oh do shut up! The game is in a dreadful state look at last nights update absolutely nothing but garbage.

Actually the update did bring back the feeling of HNM!

With the update you sit around doing other things instead of playing the game. With HNM you sit around doing other things instead of playing the game.

With the update you log-in and are kept from your goals by other players claiming server connections. With HNM you are kept from your goals by other players claiming the NM you're after.

With the update you have to rely on third party ingenuity to get a leg up on everyone else. With HNM you have to rely on third party "ingenuity" to get a leg up on everyone else.

So yeah, HNM style gameplay returned last night! SE answered your prayers, guys! Congratulations!

Praises go out to Habu! HNM's, Camps, the days of old are greatly missed!!! You are not alone Habu many of my members that are still holding on remember and talk about these days..... The game has BEEN GIMPED! The game now is set up for all those crying ass ??????? that complain and complain about how they couldn't or get they gear like the legends that play more offen then a hour here and a hour there. This is my First post on NA forum so i'm going to let the Gimp crying ass ??????? have it! So many player and good ones left because of this change to FFXI and i'm sure it has cost SE. Now we are left with shit like everyone running around with Pink and Pearl gear.... LOL no words come to my mind but "Gimp" (When ever in time was there a Pink NINJA or a Pink THIEF? If there were they were Shot, Hung, and Stoned to Death) They gear has no value when you see someone that rarely plays and is wearing the same Gear or item you worked your ass off to gear and all other slots are 70 lvs under..... There needs to be separation!!!!!!! STOP Crying Gimp Fucks Play the game! And to sum up what i just said so the ppl that just started playing this game can understand: The Competition and thrill is no longer in FFXI because of lame ass ppl crying about how they cant (Kill or play well with others) LS's are not dead and no one runs home anymore to play, hoping to be next on the list to get that item you rarely see (Ridill, D-ring, HQ gear) I'm with you Habu! GRUDGE LS

Grudge on Unicorn was indeed a legend, it made us laugh like no other.

I'm with you East, may you be the light that will guide us through the darkness on the way to the HNM resurrection.

I think your onto something. They should make new HNM Spawns... and they should drop gimp pink gear.

I think you guys need to find some new route to self esteem. Having the shiniest gear in FFXI isn't going to last forever.

Most of the people in this thread who have been the most vehement about wanting HNM, seem to carry a really negative vibe to say the least. The way they communicate on here is needlessly rude, condescending, arrogant, and especially grammatically incorrect. I can see why people like that enjoyed the "thrill" of HNM immensely. Heck, some have admitted getting off on the drama. The really sad part is, they almost have to be adults and they're still acting this way.

If the game no longer appeals to people that immature, I say we're much better off.

Except it's the complete opposite, all I've gotten since I made this thread is extremely harsh feedback and personal attacks against me and anyone who wants them back.

Those were botted too btw.

SW and DI can't really be botted - how can you bot a NM that can spawn in any of 6 (7 if after a maintenance) different zones, and have several possible pop spots or one fairly large pop area in each zone?

You can use tools that can detect it's appearance in a zone.

That desn't hgelp you claim it, and most players who use that as an example are grasping at straws. DI/SW were typically dominated by non-third party using shells/group that had more massive numbers.

People who went into di/sw thinking they could use nasa and make consistant claim against competition usually went home empty handed.

DI/SW required you to focus for both holding and camping. Anyone who says otherwise is delusional and doesn't know wtf. I have over 600 kills each under my belt. Lol at people "botting" di/sw.

FP SCANNING is not botting and does not offer you a huge advantage against a huge number of scanners. The point is completely absurd.

Doesn't happen often, but I agree 100% with what you're saying there. ^

Can't speak for others, but i thought my posts were pretty level-headed.
