Records of Eminence + Long NM Respawn Times = Yuck

[Antanias]

Seriously...Morbolger, Nue, etc. were made into (non-repeateable) RoE objectives with their spawn timers being much too long when compared to NMs like the timed ones in Abyssea. Can we have shorter NM respawn timers to help accomodate these new objectives?

[Demonjustin]

Very much agreed, I expected something along the lines of Duke Decapod, not the NMs they picked, in either case its not entirely horrible in the sense they are non-repeatable, but still, they are stupidly long repop NMs.

Guess they don't want Brown Belt to be even more common.

Not like it has a use.

Black belt maybe.

[Demonjustin]

Black belt maybe.

Seeing as the Haste is literally meaningless at this point, the PDT can be nearly matched by other pieces let alone the fact that the PDT given is not worth the accuracy lost by not using a different Belt, and the STR is just not important in this day and age by compare to so many other things, its not useful.

These NM objectives are meant to be little treats you happen upon, bump into, just so happen to be in the right place at the right time. In short, they didn't mean for these objectives to be knocked off one-by-one, or cleared completely.

Yeah theres no way they could've thought no one would try to get them. That's like saying we don't expect you to make a mythic just that you do some of the objectives for fun doing other stuff and if you make it cool. Obviously large difference in reward but conceptionally similar idea. A lot of these nms are in places you would probably never otherwise go to and being on 24 hour timers would never see unless you ToD camped like days of old.... only for crap lol

Except you can only have so many objectives active at one time, which means that even if you do just happen to stumble upon one (ha!), you have to stop and take the time to see if there's an objective based on it that you can activate before you do anything.

Really interrupts the flow of gameplay, if nothing else.

It's a matter of all of that being in one peice though so you can do less in other peices... that said who the hell wears acc belts?
