Any new HNM coming?

[Anewie]

Natenn is obviously one of the only skilled players posting in here, and yes, its because he understands that HNM are meant for the dedicated player, not the people hoping for all poppable nm's all the time. You dont need a bot to claim so stop using that as an excuse on why up until abyssea your characters gear sucked. And honestly, the excitement from just claiming an HNM outweighs the gear it drops. Im sure a majority of the people that are against time spawns have actually never even tried to camp with their amazing social ls, because "everyone bots". Maybe go out with more than your 3 friends and update your 56k dial up modem and youll see your claim rate increase. HNM is endgame, and endgame is not for everybody, sorry. Either get better and join a real ls or stick to things you can kill within the 2 hours a day you feel like playing the game.

As much I like the general meaning of your post, I have to disagree.

Game has changed and the company has REALLY changed. I don't like the changes but it is what it is.

Do I hope for more HNM spawn? Yeah. Do I think it will happen? Probably not. That's just looking at the general direction they have taken the updates. Update get more and more rediculous/pointless/lolz.

iQuit but if they add new hnm and more variety to endgame (that makes SENSE... /stare dynamis update) then maybe someday i'll make a comeback. I'm not an elitest bitch, I'm a bored one who will not be trolled or taken advantage of by SE.

I know people will come to SE defense but a lot of the stuff they do feels very trollish. It feels like theyre trying to milk us while not providing us with meaty content/updates. Fixes do not satiosfy me. They broke the game, they should hire the manpower and rescourses to fix it and DRAGGING the new cap out, imo, is probably due to the fact that they WONT address this issue because they don't want or don't have the manpower to fix or readjust XI. This is not limited to HNMs.

I will not be milked or distracted from the fact that abyssea has made this game suck and the updates following it have been abyssea related ish. I'm sick of abyssea. I... Can't. I hate the dynamis changes JUST because RELICS SUCK.. People are complaining about the usefullness of RELICS not the entertaining quality of DYNAMIS.. GTFO *rage*. Oh look! Neat little fixes for dynamis! K.. But relics still suck and thats the reason for dynamis and no w-t-f change to offer me 3 weeks worth of amusement is going to change that. Throwing the player base little pieces of bread is not gonna cut it. We want a steak. I'm not falling for this "oh.. were just slowly raising the cap due to balance issues and we have something up our sleeve *wink*".

Talk to the hand SE, ok? What balance issues?.. Most ppl have all jobs they want 90 and cap merits. What you holding out for? Oh, idk.. Maybe it's because you know this is it for FFXI due to resource issue because your mmo (which ffxi is funding) is bombing harder the spirits within, which was actually a good movie. You guys probably don't have many varsatile plans for the game. This direction is pretty much it and it will mostly be fixes excluding the cap increase and JA/Magic additions. Lol@new areas,expansion,ps2 limtations, new mob colors,hearty content etc etc.

Though, I could be wrong. I hope I am. As an 8 year retired player, I'd love to eat my words. But I know a marketing scheme when I see one and this "holding out" the new cap is probably tied into the plans and timeline that is Fixing Final Fantasy XIV. Hmmm, I wonder why. Lolz.

Anewie, why are your posts so beautiful? <3

i agree, especially with the first sentance.

[Sureal]

so you DO agree that the claim is the excitement and not the gear, so put hte same gear on bcnm mobs


oh wait, you still want to have something to lord over players

i.e. you want to feel elite about something and feel as though a game is your best opportunity, got it

[Natenn]

Don't put it in a BCNM, then it not gonna be special. Fight for the best gear = real endgame.

but i thought it was the CLAIMING that was exciting, the titles, i mean that is what you said

[Sureal]

you all may say, oh this game is going downhill, they are killing the game, they are losing customers. when in actuallity i do believe more players are coming back for the way the game is now, the game is more community oriented, and much more friendly. when fafhogg was the endallbeall of endgame, people were straight up assholes to each other, you were forced to play much longer than you really should in one sitting (thereby negating the opening warning to the game that they do not want you to ignore your REAL LIFE), knowing that i can log on, AND ACTUALLY GET SHIT DONE in 2 hours is awesome

world spawn nm's, while they filled a niche, and i understand what they were going for, were a dumb idea, because as has been stated, after the first kill, there was no challenge, AN NO, CLAIMING IS NOT THAT CHALLENGE, claiming was an epeen event, LOOK AT ME, I CLAIMED THE SAME MONSTER 15 DAYS IN A ROW AND YOU DONT GET TO FIGHT YET AGAIN CAUSE IM MORE LEET THAN YOU WILL EVER BE LAWLS, you know what, i dont care what gear you have, it does not affect me on a day to day basis, i dont log off crying thinking to myself "he has so much better gear than me, why cant i be as good as him" even when faf was king, i didnt look at the other ls's and think they were better people, as a group yes, there are some better ls's overall, but on a personal level i despised people because they were bottlenecking endgame for me and others, i dont feel that way now, in this game, at that time, if you wanted to merit/xp on certain jobs you had to have certain gear or you might as well just log off, now you dont have to have the best of the best, you dont have to camp fafhogg daily, there is movement for the general populus, but at the same time there is gear that the general populus will not be able to get just for the difficulty in trials, or relics, or mythics. and do not come in here crying about relics sucking, you sir have done no research whatsoever, as i just spent all of 10 mins perusing ffxiclopedia's weapons database only to find that in every, let me repeat that, EVERY instance where they had the information for relics, mythics, and empeyreans at the same lvl (i.e. all fully upgraded at lvl 90), the relic was the winner, not some of the time, not the majority of the time, EVERY SINGLE TIME, yeah, you put in a lot of work to get your 75 relic, and i applaud you for that, but do you truely expect your lvl 75 weapon to be better than a fully upgraded lvl 90 empeyrean?

final fantasy is finally becoming what the original developers wanted, a community based game, where you NEED help to do things, but you will not spend days upon days just lfp, if you dont like it leave, most of your ilk have already, the rest of us will enjoy this new game

This post has very good points. I totally agree, the game has finally become more fun since majority of players are able to get things done together with friends and LS mates without the 21-24hour HNMs Repop..

21-24hour NMs limit the amount of players who want to kill the NMs for drops. This is a problem because only people who can build their "LIFE SCHEDULE" around a "VIDEO GAME" can actually be able to get access to the content while majority who log on to play the game for fun can't.

People have lives, people have work, people have families, people have friends in RL. You have to have absolutly no life whats so ever to agree the time consuming elements that holds off challenging elements, are fun.

Lets face it, Time consuming elements are made so you can be kept in game longer doing the same thing over rather than challenge you with fights. Claiming is not even part of the challenge and if it is, then thats why the community is getter better since SE is making more NMs "???" pop markers so people can take turns rather than Fighting each other for a simple chance to fight an NM.

If you want hard core competitions then go play World of war craft. That game has many PVP elements to it for players who love competitions in a lot of aspects. FFXI's PVP system really is bad for that. FFXi was build more around the PvE so players can team up against the environment. Against the mobs, not against each other.

I want FFXI to have more PVP elements but I do NOT want SE to make it a "CLAIM WAR".
If claiming becomes the true competition in this game then this game fails cause trying to claim from another player is not fun, specially the fact thay you got one chance at it and if you lose, you need to wait another 21-24hours window to pop.

Make the game less time consuming and more challenging for any gamers to have access and enjoy the contents. Those who finish contents too fast and play 12hours a day and have nothing to do in game needs to go outside for a change and get a job in RL rather than playing like a bot.

Thats all I gotta say.

Like i said, nothing obtainable so easily is worth working hard towards. But gj on the wall of text, all i got from it was an "I'm mad". Game is going down hill w/o real HNM to camp, if it were comming back they would bring back a few servers but what happened last big update? More servers got shutdown. Can try to glorify abyssea/thinking cause you can pop and kill a NM that every other person on server killed is endgame but its not, i think of it more like sticking a pacifyer in a babys mouth. Don't see me complain/hate every post, just waitin on the new HNMs to be added eventually.

[Sureal]

actually i do see you complaining every post, hell, this entire thread is you complaining


so, can i have your stuff yet?
