New NMs

[Visch]

Fine.

Example:

NM X is camped because it gives the best gear

NM Y is introduced and drops better gear.

NM Y is much harder than NM X and is now camped and no one cares who gets anything from NM X because it's now not the best.

Better? The argument still works. You can make content difficult AND drops rare without a 21-24 spawn window. Hell look at a game like Monster Hunter, you can kill the same monster 24/7 and not get the drop you need for 100+ runs if ever. The encounters are difficult but rewarding, with the drop rates set very low so items are still rare.

Now that is a time sink.

And it's the same point, they shouldn't have to come out with new NMs. Rare gear should stay good and rare. That is why most of the stuff in XI that came out later were side-grades. Making it so a player had an option to choose between lets say 2 different leg piece that did close to the same thing and obtain them in a different method.

It's not like they'll make 1 NM that drops a body piece with 150 DEF on it and then 3 months later come out with a new NM that drops one with 155 DEF.

NO ONE WANTS IT OUTSIDE OF YOU 5.

I have a better reason. SE wants a good game.

Actually , that is how mmos are supposed to be, never ending, always evolving.
I think chained events is the best approach , that way your gear or standing never gets old.

let me use the same example NM X is camped because it gives the best gear

NM Y is introduced and drops better gear.

NM Y is much harder than NM X and You NEED the gear from NM X to be able to kill it.

See now that is something i would like to see, that way we dont have NMs or fights left in the dark becouse a "new" nm came out and new players need to experience everythin you did to get were you are now.

wow i think this actually would keep hardcore and casuals happy.

Ohhhhhhhh. I see! That must be why they are ignoring this thread.
