Any new HNM coming?

[Akujima]

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

[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.

[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

p.s. can i have your stuff?

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

[Natenn]

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?

[Natenn]

Go earn it.

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.

but dont you remember, you said i just wanted everything handed to me, gah, as if i would go out and do work
