Something needs to be done about Abyssea VNM congestion

[Zumi]

There have been some updates to address congestion problems in abyssea but nothing has been done to help improve problems with VNMs.

This is even worse after the merge. Especially the T2 in the heroes zones. Not only do you not get upgrade most of the time there is only 1 up on a 15 min respawn timer.

Suggestions, add multiple T2 and T3 vnms to abyssea zones to lessen some of the congestion on these. Make it so a Red !! gets you the upgrade 100% of the time. This has been asked for many times but seems to be ignored.

Oh i know how you feel... I was helping a friend get his VNM3 abyssite, sadly it took 20 turns to get it to change and we lost about 7 stones worth, I was ready to scream

Hah, i just made an almost identical thread.

Totally agreed, the VNM system in Abyssea is a terrible bottleneck at the moment.

Should allow red trigger for guaranteed color change and allow 5ish NMs to be up at the same time. At least now that they intend on adding more ???s.

Clearly the only solution is to add a set of Abyssea-only servers.

Oh hey SE has some spare servers lying around not being used, right? <.<

If they did that then they should totally add that to Outside Abyssea VNMs, It took me 40 tries to get a T2


I think Procing Red should totally get it a 50% chance

I'm seriously getting very pissed off very quickly on Shiva with having to compete with JP groups that do nothing but slaughter tier 2 after tier 2 JUST for tier 3 pops (without proccing yellow or anything) and blatently refusing to team up and let me try do them for seals. Its come to the point where the VNMs are no longer viable sources of seals because they are being so heavily spammed by people trying to pop the tier 3 (Chione especially was a nightmare to try get claim of... got ONE claim after about 6 days of trying on and off throughout the days). I understand they have a right to the vnms too so they can get their shields/harps but seriously, something needs to be done.

Dev team PLEASE consider adding 1-2 more tier 2s, just so that people who genuinely want seals can have a better chance at being able to pop these nms.

Gildrien, Bayohne, ANYONE please please pass on this serious concern to the dev team and see what they say back!
