Poll: Who wants classic FFXI style BCNM

Hello guys and ladies,

I can remember some of the best fun I ever had playing FFXI was busting out 10 BCNM's in a night and making hundreds of millions of gil selling materials for high end crafted gear.

I had a all beastmaster linkshell that ran them weekly having a blast.

Running BCNM and KSNM with my friends in as hardcore a way as possible was the best times and cant be held a candle to with Guildleves. I cant say enough bad about leviquests and how terrible they are.

Please help us send word to the Dev's we want BCNM and KSNM style battles that dont involve REP or limited run Guildleves.

I vote YES.

I do miss BCNMs and would welcome them to XIV. Could do with better drop rates than the XI ones though.

Those fights had some fun variety to them.

FFXI?

Yes please. Anything about FFXI I would welcome into this game.

Even losing exp when you die so we don't have people who are rank 50 and have no idea how to play!

If you are familiar with BCNMs you'd have to be crazy to not want them in XIV.

Yez Prez!!!!!!!

i would welcome BCNM as a low man 30min type thing for players who don't have much things to do but give good reward and make a few hard for players who more into hardcore and i would love it.

Well they can have instance dungeons that are like BCNM, though the problem with that is we did level capped dungeons in CoP, and people really hated that.

A middle ground has to exist somewhere.

What made BCNM so addictive besides the rewards was the challenge. Sometimes it was a closely held secret on how to beat certain BCNMs in order to protect their income.

Yes Please I miss them dearly

BCNM are not the same as a instanced dungeon, only similar in that they are instanced. Its more like a Instanced battle that requires farmable currency (not faction rep).

A dungeon instance would be expected to have trash mobs and boss mobs and require an hour to complete, a BCNm is usually 15-30 minutes with enrages and risk reward style play.

Pretty much similar in thought except the level cap. And we have CoP to show us how that worked out.

In BCNM it was a level capped fight for rewards. CoP dungeons was an entire dungeon and a fight level capped for the reward(eventual). In the end it's about the same if you put the reward part aside.

BCNM the rule was whoever's coins uses was the one looting so fight timeX6/X3 whatever
CoP dungeons, everyone involved get their reward.

The fact that coins are used is somewhat minor. It's all about the level cap.
