[dev1031]New High Level Notorious Monsters Please

[Murugan]

I fully understand what's being said; and you're right, it would be nice to have something fun to do for the time being, even if it wasn't amazing and extremely challenging. But if they did put in something like a Pudding NM, it would only last maybe a week at most before it got monotonous, since it probably wouldn't take long to defeat :I

Something like Ifrit, while hard, isn't extremely challenging, and it's gotten monotonous after the 3rd week of farming. At this point I'm sure most people are only killing it because some players are getting boned by the ridiculous loot system.

Either way, it seems like I'm the minority in this anyways, which is fine. But I just don't want to see time (however short) put into something that won't really see much attention in the end.

Are you new to the game?

1. People farmed NM's (which you would call trash NM's) for months.
2. These took just as long to kill as Ifrit did.
3. Both get monotonous after a certain point of farming.
4. Farming 1 thing has (just by sheer logic) to be more monotonous than farming multiple things.

Adding new NM's, helps give those at endgame a variety of goals no matter how much "trash" they are. Which by the way is ridiculous, they don't have to be trash encounters just because they don't have unique triggers what a crock of WoW-logic. Mobs in this game have plenty of interesting abilities I'd like to see put in an endgame encounter at their most powerful.

I can think of many examples from MMO's where recycled mob types have made better examples of endgame encounters than some gimmicky fight where you can't step on the blue fire.

I think killing the Great Buffalo before their nerf (breaking the horns for drops) was a more fulfilling and challenging accomplishment than it is now killing Ifrit with 8.
