Carabosse

[Alderin]

What's the point with using your brainf for instance?
It was mentioned over and over again
1) Don't camp on each other!
2) In case someone want's to MPK you - call a GM - that's what they are for!
3) The NM is still LOL. And will be more LOL in case benediction would be nerfed.
4) The census showes how easy a NM is in terms of how many player achieved the empyrean. And in case you read the census to the end you'll have noticed that certain empyreans are more popular than others but in the end - the one that are started at La Theine are outnumbering all others. I wonder why? (Since H2H is the best - and no I'm not on that trial at all.)

I am sorry but can you clarify as to why you believe H2H is the "best". Ukon out damages it. Masamune is amoung gods outside abyssea. etc etc.

H2H the best? Matter of opinion. Most useful? Also a matter of opinion - yes it is very useful no doubt however you are ignoring the fact Empyreans are the best in their class - DD weapons. Last I checked Masamune & Caladbolg were used on DD / Zerg jobs. Why would you not build one?

The only one who's trying to pick a fight is you.
And that's a good moment to quote A. Einstein: “Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the the universe.”

PS: Morgantisthedon and Runespider thumbs up! (Cause they solved the ridle by themself.)

Please do not quote Einstein. Your head-in-the-sand "logic" has absolutely nothing to do with him.

The point of the OP is that the effect of Benediction when used by mobs can be maliciously manipulated by players. A simple fix to this would to implement a /blockaid between a mob that is claimed and another mob that is claimed by another group.

Selzak your'r right - noone should over quote a german genius.
But then again - carabosse is just interacting with its own kind - and that's nothing wrong.
Where was your high horse comment the moment the first whitemage in dynamis waked up all sleeped mobs and nearly wiped out 2 whole alliances?
Where was your cry for mercy the moment a whitemage beastmen healed all his minions at campaign battle?

To make something clear - now I'm trolling - but Abyssea is just another Dynamis/Campaing Battle since it has the same conditions and also is part of the same story.

Campaing (what happened in the war) > Dynamis (memories of a war) > Abyssea (a different war or what happened after point X in history when we change factor Y)

The white mage dynamis mob that woke up sleeping mobs was claimed by my party/alliance/linkshell.

The Carabosse that healed my Carabosse was from a random party/alliance/linkshell with no affiliation with our group.

I think you fail to see our point so I will spell it out in black and white for you (for about the 15th time in this thread):

A monster claimed by a party / alliance should not have interaction with another monster claimed by a seperate party / alliance.

And by the way - it's called a NOTORIOUS MONSTER not a normal mob. Learn to deal with it!
And not to mention - a NM who's popset is farmed within 5 minutes, with pre NMs that are no big deal and who are close to each other.

And once again - we'r talking about ABYSSEA not present time Vana'diel.
There are different conditions for every mob. So there is nothing wrong that certain mobs esp. NMs can and will interact with other mobs/NMs. Otherwise the devs could have saved the time and money in creating a new/different challange for us. There is no need for another CoP, ToAU or WotG area when there is no new experience for the players.

[FrankReynolds]

I am a Loudmouth! I don't want them to change this because this is how I troll people in-game when I am not on the forums trolling!

You are a troll. I highly recommend that nobody respond to Ihnako ever again in any thread.

People are trying to post legitimate concerns and requests, and you are just trying to get people angry. Nobody cares what you think and from here forward I will be ignoring any posts you make as if they never happened.

No one is crying here. No Carabosse is not hard. As we have all repeatedly made clear. The issue with this problem is that other people (assumingly you are one of these people) like to have a laugh by making other Carabosse's heal to full - which forces an easy fight to just take longer. (No, not increase in difficulty. The fact she gets healed by other Carabosse's simply makes an easy fight drag out longer).

No one cares what you can or can't do. Solo 3x at once? I would love to see them cast 3x Aeroga 3's. Your comments are a joke.

Why don't you actually read? Notorious Monster = Monster. That is all that was said. Regardless whether or not it is an NM or a normal mob - this should not happen. An opportunity for players like yourself to have a laugh by healing other alliance's NM's is the reason this was brought up.

As for your completely stupid "storyline" argument, it has nothing to do with the issue at hand here.

Finally as I will repeat - no Carabosse is barely a challenge, as is Briareas, Fistule, Chloris, and any stage 1 NM. The issue is it simply draws out a fight to a pointless length - and also gives people the chance to attempt to MPK.

How? Someone see's a low man group struggling with her at 5%. This person pulls carabosse next to them, forces her to bennedict - then this group that was struggling now has a very slim chance.

Call a GM? We made this clear a hundred times <censored>.
MPK - call a GM!
Forced MPK for popstealing - call a GM!
You can't handle it and it's a long fight? Change your setup, get a brain, pay attention on what it's doing.

Simple solution - learn how to play and how to use the given ingame support.

[FrankReynolds]

So anyways, yeah. they should fix this. Its pointless and this thread is a good indication that the people who want it kept that way, are the kind of people who are out to ruin the game for others. Other than it just being extra work for the programmers, I haven't seen any legit reason to leave it how it is. So, if its not gonna take away from other important updates, I say change this please.

[Eric]

The reason Ihnako's the only one here still arguing is because there is so little to say, and everyone has already said it: JUST PULL THE DAMN NM AWAY FROM THE ???

It's as simple as that. It's working just as intended.
