Any new HNM coming?

[RaenRyong]

Didn't you camp the same HNMs every day before?

[RaenRyong]

Why do you care what everyone else is doing? "Oh hey, they like to do this too, so it's not cool anymore"

Well, not that this is news to you, but these type of people are just epeen-driven idiots who need to play real competitive games and realise that pushing for non-pvp competition in this game is dumb. There is triumph in beating someone in a real game or a proper pvp setting, but over a claim? Get real. You're seriously sheltered if you consider it good and fulfilling competition.

Also, thats how SE wanted HNM, to be found by exploration. If they had a HNM that popped in any zone that you couldn't see on WS till someone found it/aggro it(like how Iron giants are) that would be wonderful, making it harder to find, you would actually have to find it manually. Not sit in a cramped area like kings or be able to wide scan it like SW/DI.

Everyone doing the same thing every day is silly. Why give NMs titles if everyone else on the server has it to?

If you're so concerned about having something nobody else has, why not just spend yer time raising the best darn chocobo ever in an exotic color or something. It's just as much of a timesink.

oh boo hoo, mods aren't gonna ban ppl unless something bluntly offensive is said.

Hey SE, soon as you announced new HNM i told my ex ffxi ppl who quit to go play WoW and like not even 3m later i had 5 ppl saying they'll come back to FFXI if they're world spawn HNM. Now im only 1 person and i got 5 ppl ready to pay $12 a month again, theres prolly a ton of other ppl that would be back to. Smart move on your part, though the ppl sulking about it might not like it they won't quit/deactivate their account, not enough of them vs the amount that would be back. SE aim is to profit like any other company in the world, they'll do w/e brings in the most cash for them. Am i wrong?

Clearly My Statement Went over your head. I apologize that you are unable to capture the sarcasm in someones who's given up on showing an obviously angry troll the light !

(This is in regards to my racism comment on the "Anon")

And i mean really, I look away from this thread for like, 1 hour, and You guys blow up 3 more pages >.>

I agree that it sounds like a really cool idea, but it's how they'd implement it without it turning into just a huge timesink...

Square made Sandworm and DI as horrible as they did because they thought nobody would actively camp them (full 6 hour windows) and just stumble on them, they were wrong. Also you know as well as anyone else most of the people (especially near the end) that camped DI/SW didn't have widescan...they just sat on(or ran past) the dead mob and had the few spawn spots covered.

If Square found a way to hide dead mobs maybe what you suggest could work but not with the way the game is and how easy it is to abuse.

The idea of free roaming really hard monsters is a really cool one. However, with the system in its current state, I am unconvinced that they can introduce such a thing without it becoming a huge timesink and/or camped around the clock.
