Yeah the lock animation is at least 15 sec, then if you just add the time from the intitial entry (~30s) plus the the ~5 min lock between floors plus the necessary 15x 1 minute running you are left with 9'30 to perform the action from 15 floors.

If they really want to make it viable without relying on powder boot spam in addition to getting only code-lamp floors as far as lamp floors go, they'd probably have to do one or ten of the following.
- 4 minute wait timer in the lobby independent of the 30min timer within the zone, like Legion already does
- Add an option in the starting lobby to make rune automatically select ??? floor jump upon objective completed (aside from when you hit the floor you lock your run to, in which case you manually exit).
The current system pretty much depends one of your party members (preferably a SCH) camping at the lamp since you cannot afford time to run back and hit one upon objective complete, especially with how big some of the generated floors can be
- Either remove order lamp floors or number them so legit players are on the same playing field as the cheaters for that since they're pretty much guarantee a run failure when aiming for floor 100
- Reduce cooldown on timed lamps, since your run is pretty much boned if you mess it up due to 30 second wait to retry
- Bump the ??? jump to 3-floor hops minimum so we can complain about back2back 3s instead of back2back 2s.
The first two notes alone would save you at least 3 minutes every run.
This is for you pchan. ive been back on ffxi less then 2 months have full NI2.0 gear for both my DD jobs beat and cleared all of VW got every single body drop ive wanted from anything in VW and funded1/3rd of my relic weapon and ive done 3 dyna runs total. you have.... sat on a forum and cry'd about content you cant do 3rd party or not i got my 12.95$ outta FFXI ... have you?
anyone who has actually won NI2.0 will agree communication is a huge factor in winning.
I'll be suggesting the following to the devs : do a statistical analysis by examining logs, and find out the number of successful F100 nyzul runs that had "lamp order floor" in the previous floor where people went 1/1 on guessing correctly. 100% ?

It would be nice to remove if nothing more than to take away cheating. If you do it or not I don't know or care. I trust you not to lie and cheat, so Ill say you don't cheat. However if people who DO cheat use this to get the upper hand on others, take it away, then everyones on even ground, or at least more so than today.

He's saying it's impossible without cheats because people who've completed it openly admit to cheating, you doofus.
I encourage everyone saying Nyzul's fine, like I did Kaerin several weeks ago when she claimed a WAR could hit Floor 100 solo with full buffs, to post videos of their dat-swapless, fillmode-less, multiple-attempts-to-figure-out-lamp-order Floor 100 clears that they're getting enough to be 15/15 on gear like six weeks ago.
Still waiting, Kaerin! (b^^)b

Wait wait wait, I'm a doofus? If someone thinks an event can only be done via cheating because people who beat it said they cheated then ok. Saying you cheated to do something does not in turn make something impossible without cheating. It simply means people were to weak or unskilled to do it the correct way if it is indeed possible without them.
Do I think its possible to win without cheating? Yes, I do. Would I be stupid enough to think a WAR at any level of gear, skill, or luck, with any number of buffs, would be able to do this event solo? Hell... Fucking... No... People as are now, saying this is impossible without cheats, so the chances it can be done without them, is less likely. But saying that WAR can solo this is stupid, and stupider people might believe it. I need no proof to see this is false. Just as I need no proof to say no player in this game will be able to solo NNI. You could go in with 5 buffers, and I still think you would make it no where on any one job doing all work except buffing. But you want to know the main reason, 100% why that part makes no sense?... LAMPS! Yes, wonderful lamps, if you got nothing to do with lamps, time you spend searching every path for specific mobs would kill you, time walking back to go up would kill you. Time in general, would kill you!
I think it is very possible to win this event without cheats, if it wasn't, I don't think SE would have released it. In recent times we have been able to actually do everything they have given us even if it took us time to work it out. That being said, I also argue the ideals of what SE is doing now, they are not moving correctly, they basically flip us off and move with their ideas, which is as stupid as it is insane on their part. They have made FFXIV cheaper than FFXI so far as I know, so I don't think they want to kill this game, as it will make them more money from what I understand. But not listening to us is doing that, so if thats their goal or not, whos to say. If they released more unbeatable, or incredibly insanely difficult content, then they don't want to fix it, then we cant really do much. At this point they seem bent on ignoring us, we say to fix things, they leave them be and we can do nothing about it...
