No Timed Pop Notorious Monsters In New Expansion

[svengalis]

Well I know this game is old and started back in 2002 so I will deal with the timed popped NM already in the game. But seriously SE DO NOT add anymore in future editions of this game. If you are, have more then ONE NM. Noone likes paying for a game monthly where they log in and try to do something but only they can't because the ONLY NM that drops what they need is camped by 30 people and you can't get claim on it. All this does is drive people to cancel their subscriptions. Not sure how SE sees standing around waiting for something to pop only to see someone else get it claim after claim as fun gameplay.

Do the developers even play this game? The NM in question is Heqet I am talking about but their are others like Gukumatz etc. Now I know you can FC these mobs to for KI but that is so random and FC for one KI seriously SE? I don't exspect SE to fix this now as they seem to be done with Abyssea fixes I just don't want anymore of this style of content. I want to actually enjoy playing the game I am paying for you know?

They could always do both: Have NMs be on a spawn timer (30 mins or so), but with a rare chance at getting an item to pop it as well. Or they could do like Despot and have the NM spawn claimed, ready to eat your face off after you just @#$%ed up 50 of its friends.

But no matter what they do, I don't want to see the system go 100% one way or the other (all timed or all forced).

Mobs like Heqet are a pain...in perfect agreement there. One item for the big fish can be earned off a forced pop NM, the other is sheer luck on claiming the frog--otherwise you take your chances on finding them in gold chests. Aby-VNM's was another screwup....multiple instances of T1 up in the same area (I've actually popped two T1 pots in Vunkerl by accident), but then only one T2 and T3 on a timed repop is a MAJOR choking point. Then they turn around and give force-pop mobs up to 3 ???'s to pop them from.

Really would be nice to get a little more consistency in the process.

Not sure what you like about the system to not see it go away how do you find it fun?

Make them all forced spawn. Then, add a quest that cannot be repeated in which you recive a pop item that can be traded.

Oh yeah, don't forget to add what we all love.
MORE PROCS!

People dislike spawn items? Wow.

More timed HNMs please. The more the merrier.

[Hayward]

And in comes the JP wannabe brigade. Who could have seen that coming?

The best thing that SE could ever do is make any future NM either 1) force spawned with Key Items that are reasonably obtainable through quests or lower-tier NMs or 2) fought in Burning Circle-type instanced events. Of course, that removes any semblance of fake prestige that is treasured by the BG crowd by giving everyone a fair shot at good stuff.

They better add once a day/week timed hnm, make casuals actualyy have to try and earn stuff, no more oh hey lets go pop this fake HNM that means nothing when its killed a few hundred times so gimps can think their good at this game.

[Natenn]

no instanced NMs, no pop items, ect. Claim it or try again next day or later in the week, Rare NMs > common NMs that get popped 50x a day.
