do anyone now if were going get Free company bosses?

A Fight were it take 20 hours or more for a free company to kill the boss. Were the FC need to organized the free company on who is going to be awake and move new players in an out of the fight when people go to bed. Have it as 24-36 person fight. Be a continuous battle for the FC till the boss is dead or all member on the fight die. Get a Reward for all members in the FC at the time the boss died and you are a member. When the fight first start it shuts down the remove member options also and the leader of FC need to start the fight and winning you get a unique FC title for your FC above the player head were everyone in the server can see it, and maybe a few other perks could be some rewards for the FC.

If failure then your going need wait 2 weeks or 3 weeks to try again. but if it lasted for for 18hrs and failed , Resets to one week to try again. and the leader can put a giant L above your FC info on your char for all members head till finished. If he/she chooses.

We will not - People complain about 30 minute+ dungeon runs as is lol.

Good lord, I hope not.

True but (FC guilds) and Guilds are a different breed if there is a cool goal for the guild or FC . With a proper reward in game items or perk. That separate them from others. There is reason some the bigger guilds have most there members . They never need to pay for subscription games and even get items on free to play mmo's. Some them make a lot from the advertisement from there websites or got donation set up on there site help there guild mates out. It a Win,Win, for square since that money in squares pockets and some those guilds might not leave and enjoy competition with the other guilds.

Well that sounds pretty awesome, and if i remember right wasnt there 48H boss in XI? readed something like that few years ago. Marathon like raid boss would be pretty neat, specially when you need to swap tanks and other party members from the fly when they go to sleep :P

20 hours.. good god XD 2 hours I think I can handle but I don't think I can stay awake for 20 hours let alone stare at my screen for 20 hours straight lol.

can our TP even handle a continuous fight that's longer than an hour without break in between? o_o

No you do not need to stay up for the entire fight , Just you can come into the fight for a hr and go to bed or leave. It would be continuous fight as long as you got members of your FC fighting it. What you do is find handful of the more hardcore people that will stay up for 10 hrs+, Need have enough good tanks so need them play for a hr or 3hr and 1 or 3 people in FC in charged of the invites for replacements and then just get those like fight for a 30 min to hr. heck can sleep , wake back up and still fight it. FC company can hold 512 people. Example: of a reward would be if were in the fight for 80% of the time and the boss died you get 2000 mythology stones.With a free company clear you would need wait 2 weeks to do it again get that 2000. If were in the fight for 1% 30 minutes and your logout or on you would get 30 mythology stones or philosophy stones.

Never going to happen. Not sure what world of modern MMO's you're living in, but back here on earth 99.9999% of the player population does not want to spam their one heal/tank/dps rotation for one solid hour of bored off my assdum, let alone 3-10 hours straight.

I suspect I'll walk on the moon before SE introduces a 20 hours fight. They got loads of bad publicity from the 18 hour PW and their response was to cap the fight at 2 hours. No game company in the world is going to ask it's players to complete a 20 hour event, It's like asking for a law suit these days. Where does the 20 hour figure even come from? is it the best FC on the server or the worst? If it's the best then it would take forever for a less than perfect FC to beat.

Also think of the peer pressure a fight like this would put on people, if they mad an event that lasted 20 hours there would be loads of people under presure to do the whole fight because they're the best geared tank in the FC or whatever. Not going to happen.

I'm pretty sure the purpose of this thread was just to elicit the above reactions. In the unlikely event it actually was intended to be serious, the answer is "No, we're not going to get anything like that, and thank god."

Although there's some people who like these types of fights, MMOs no longer do that, and XIV is pretty fast paced when it comes to progression, so I really don't think it would fit in wih this game.

XI had similar things, but back then, that was kinda the norm in games. Progression was super slow. I'm not saying that this is bad at all, just that it had its time.

20 hours or more.............

You don't have a life to attend mate?

{Thanks for the offer but I'll have to pass.}

Absolute Virtue and Pandemonium Warden were the two longest 'attempted' fights in FFXI. They took that long b/c they were made to be nearly unbeatable at the request of players. When the Pandemonium fight that went on for something like 14+ hours happened SE quickly patched the game to make it that any mob not killed under 2 hours de-popped to prevent that.

There is no way you'd get them to make a mob that went against that as it is. I'm all for long epic fights, but it would not fit in this game at all with all the things they've done to 'modernize' it.

20 hour boss fight is the worst idea in the history of MMOs ever.

10+ people puts in 15-20 hours fighting FC boss.
1 guy comes in for one or two hour.
Boss dies, 2-3 loot drops, guy who comes in for an hour rolls on it and gets his loot. Leaves.

yeah this would never be a good thing lol.

If they do decide to add something like company bosses it probably won't be introduced for a long time.
