Adjust ??? spawn times in Sea from 15 minutes to 3 minutes PLEASE!

Bad game design is something to be corrected, not an obstacle to be proud of overcoming.

sure you can add that in your signature

Sometimes I have to wait 10-20 minutes for an NM to respawn in abyssea.
The Mobs surrounding that NM dont drop anything worth the while, and it could happen that I lose the NM to someone else, so I just idle around, doing nothing. What DO I do you ask?
I turn on my TV, watching shows, playing skyrim, playing FFXI on my secondary account, going to the kitchen fetching some food, going to the toilet, or chatting with friends. I dont cry because I have to wait.

Ah, yeah...the best part of that FFXI game is, it lets you take breaks!
I get to watch TV and do everything but play the game itself! Unless of course, I have another account in which I go do cool other character stuff!

Oh, and apparently not wanting to waste time is crying.

There is nothing more frustrating than wasting 2 hours to do something that you are capable of doing in 10 minutes.

Killing a jailer in 60 seconds and then waiting 15 minutes for its ??? to repop is asinine. The fact that there's any disagreement in this thread at all is retarded. I don't know about you, but I'd much rather knock out 8 jailers in 10 minutes and then go play Skyrim than sit around in sea for 2 hours like a baws and play Skyrim in another window. It's not like I need a long rest after the grueling, excruciating task of killing a level 80 monster. Also, dualboxing FFXI and Skyrim means INTERRUPTING SKYRIM when the ??? is back up. That's blasphemous. Whirlwind Sprint off a cliff please.

Not sure if this was mentioned, but the moving spawn points are annoying too for jailers. If content is renewed I can understand it, but as things are now there is not enough competition to justify it.

[FrankReynolds]

Gawd I hate those moving spawn points.

[Alhanelem]

Because there's totally competition in sky right? Did you even read his post?

Yes. I did read his post. What part of my post suggests I didn't read it? I'm getting really, really sick of this nonsense, cop-out response. Just because you don't understand someone's response, it doesn't mean they didn't read the OP.

15 minutes is not long. The reason why I said "it's not like there's any competition" is because it used to be much worse. He should be happy it's only taking 15 minutes and not hours.

People might be used to Abyssea conditions, but I'll tell you: The only reason the ???s repop so quickly there is because everyone is under a time limit in Abyssea, and there were a lot of in demand NMs that caused major traffic jams as far as progressing within it. That's the only reason.

I'm actually going to formally back down from my previous statements. I personally don't think 15 minutes is an issue, considering there's loads of NMs in this game that take hours, if not days, to spawn. However, yeah, not every one got several hours to toss into the game every day. If everyone is playing this game for the enjoyment of playing, then it's understandable from that aspect to help save time so everyone can enjoy the game. It isn't really hurting anyone.

So yeah, even though I don't agree with it all that much, came to realize that I don't do any of these activities for personal reasons. I'm either asked to attend or just going along with an LS for an event in many of these endgame content so it honestly would not effect me in any way.

Slightly less shitty game design is still shitty game design.

[Greatguardian]

Be glad you're only idle for 110 minutes of the 2 hours you spent in Sea, guys?

[FrankReynolds]

Meh. I don't see how this is gonna negatively impact anything or how it's related to abyssea. People always did / still do farm time anyways. I don't recall time being a major issue since maybe the first few weeks. I say lower the timers, and add 2 more ???s so that people can spam the hell out of them. Standing around is lame. more fighting.
