HNMs and the future of FFXI

[Camiie]

I might be wrong though, idk.

You are. If I hadn't experienced all HNM had to offer I would have no reason to despise it.

Hi, I just wanted to say that HNM are the best thing that ever happened to FFXI, should bring them back no matter what!

Guys, he's trolling ya'll. Just ignore him. Turn around and walk away, we all know HNMs sucked due to the claiming system, no need to elaborate or debate that part. Heck you can still do "HNMs", just do the KSNM99 and get the pop item, there you now have your "HNM".

[Habu]

You're missing the part where you actually competed for the claim. I'm not trolling ftfy

I can't tell if you're trolling or just plain crazy.

Even from the comfort of my armchair I can see quite clearly what HNMs constitute some of the worst game design in FFXI, which is saying a lot. Good on you for finding ways to enjoy it, but let's not pretend it was something it wasn't.

Rush of seeing a HNM pop until its claimed is the best adrenaline rush FFXI can give you. It can be related to doing a line, if you don't like HNMs that's on you, don't bring that nonsense of it sucking into this thread. What sucks to you and what sucks to me is different and doesn't me either way is a fact. So stop posting stupid shit like it is.

Because of the congestion, a lot of people saw them as popping claimed.

On the flip side, I'm still not seeing the issue if all the HNM drops were found in other events. Well, other than the fact that it's something you don't like and thus, don't want someone else doing....Who let all the Republicans in here?

I think I've only ever seen a Nidhogg pop claimed once...back when there were 200 people in DA lol. I agree, I don't understand the hostility towards HNM if their drops also come from another location

Part of it depends on your gaming system. I learned early on, you never, ever come to claim on an X-Box. Surprising, the PS2 was a good system for claiming. Before I moved to PC, I did a lot of NM claiming with that system. By the time I got into HNM's, I had already moved to PC. But, there were days with 70 people in the zone where it would appear to pop claimed.

Yeah up until around 2008 I played on PS2, I have played on XBOX but never took it to a camp because I had heard about how terrible the lag is with it. On my computer though even with 50+ there I've never had a problem with seeing a mob spawn though ;x
