Yes Timed Pop Notorious Monsters In New Expansion

[Rosina]

As a long time ffxi player from 2004-2012 (with breaks) (and a non casual) I say no thank you. I'm all for hardcore content but placing a "massive" cool down was asinine to how mmorpg work. It was rare in the mass hnm days where at times "pop" happen between 12am-3am est. Heck I recall brown belt. I stayed up all day just to get tod. Only to have to wake up @ 6am est to try and claim it. I much perfer how NM are done in Abyssea. At least it gives everyone a chance at killing it. Farming a pop then poping an nm is much more game like and enjoyable them waiting around for hours at a slight chance to see the NM in question.

Ever been on a Long Leeping Lizzy hunt. Sometimes that nm may not pop in 3 hours. I had an 8 hour wait once. Now... If the "timed" pop in question was like hati/ bandit the nm that pops under conditions of new or full moon between 00:00- 5:00 then that is reasonable. As it still give ppl a chance. but anything like 24hr+ pop window is really too much. And hard to really be around for.

I claimed, so no.

I claimed, so no.

You claimed that you want HNM, and then you got mad because people don't want it like you do. Ill tell you the same thing as anyone else who wants it, give me a good reason for it that is good for the game, till you can do that, nothing you say really matters.

Its goood bc it severly limits the flow of "rare" items. things commoners don't have, things like the VW pulse gear should of been put on 21-24 HNM with a signifigantly higher drop rate. Not made so casuals can spam it 1000x. Drama and jealousy and everpresent in all MMOs, no matter what it will always be there, what made ffxi so great b4 is that this was embraced in the HNM community, i loved the drama and the thrill of claiming knowing theres anywhere from 30-100 ppl being mad cause im getting to fight the nm and they're not, it wasn't even about the drops for the first few minutes just the "OH YEA ITS MINE" feeling. Whats good for you and whats good for the game are two different things.

Whats good for you should not be the feeling you get from being an asshole to everyone else and making them waste their time. Limiting items allows gloating, again, being an asshole to everyone else. Lastly, good for the game is good for the majority of players, so they are happy with said game, and continue to play and fund it through subscriptions, if things are bad for the game it means a minority of players are getting less so that the majority of players can still enjoy the game.

Why must we make content for everyone? If you don't like world spawns, don't do tem. Care about the gear so much that you bitch? Good gear goes to good players, and yes, "good" in this game can mean "most determined".
You people who want everything custom crafted for their gameplay; were you only childs as a kid?
