Besieged Adjustments

[Vagrua]

• In the case that you are still K.O.ed when Besieged finishes, after receiving a Raise or being revived you will receive experience points for the battle. (If you return to your home point, you will not receive experience points)

I think this should have been implemented/fixed from the start. It's great that they're finally doing it. Better late than never.

On April 14, 2011, the chapter was closed on ..~.. a spectacular
record of unbroken triumph dating back to the system's introduction on April 17, 2006.

Turns out that the whole server was due to get a free mythic if you made it to 5 years...

This is something I actually do not want to change. For people who didn't rush every job to cap, this is a good place to get some xp and skill-ups in the higher, old level cap area. .

Totally agree, not everything that existed at the old level caps needs 'upgrading', there are still many people doing Besieged on the servers I play on and I find it great fun to run around mindlessly killing things without some jerk alliance leader screaming about wrong coloured lights.

I don't want to see any the mobs changed, I like this adjustment, bit surprised we aren't getting auto-RR (not that it needs it). Would be nice if the Beastmen Generals respawned faster outside of Besieged though, dont like them never being up.

Now I just have to wait for Cait Sith.

This is a great adjustment but... what about when you disconnect during Besieged and lose all the points you earned that far? It really sucks to go through a whole Besieged only to disconnect, log back in and have it end.

Yeah.. since they don't seem to be making any progress towards solving the console crash issues, they need to at least work on a way to remedy this problem so those suffering from crashes can still get decent rewards.

I could be wrong, but I'm guessing that the crash issue here is the same one or similar that is causing the voidwatch crashes, and that is where every ability/spell visual/animation (from what I understand) gets stored into memory after it's used and remains in memory so it's easily grabbed if it's used again and this memory doesn't clear until zoning/logging.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Besieged crashing stopped or lessened once they get the voidwatch issue figured out.

Apologies for bumping this old thread but didn't feel this required a new thread. Done my first besieged since the adjustments the other day gaining an easy 15,000 exp which I was delighted with and would love to do these more often. Around 50 people were in the zone and we managed to defeat most of the mobs except Medusa and a couple of her generals.

Biggest issue for me after that rush was that every beastman hold was then at level 0, would of been nice to have done another one without waiting for hours. Is it possible to raise the occurrence of this? Also a message to Jeuno, San d'Oria, Bastok and Windurst saying something along the lines of:

"The Empress of Aht Urhgan has made a plea for help with the current advance of hostile's on her City, Head to Al Zahbi and take up arms"

Or something to that effect, could empty out Jeuno a little for a while at least, and give the idle'rs something to do while waiting on shouts.
