Seriously 3-5 minute repop on NMs?

[Scarface]

They drop gear around 25-35 and most aren't soloable by R50 people, let alone R35, I guess this is SE's attempt to give low ranks NMs for them to group for and fight, pretty good gear for their ranks.

Been seeing 4-6 man PTs fight Kokoroon (34-41) and winning so there you go, they get to have fun too.

And the drops aren't 100% but not rare enough to be ridiculous. (why make getting low rank gear near impossible anyhow)

I like em, any whiners should just stick to the good old NMs we have instead of complaining about these little ones.

My posts are in no way related to the "new" NMs. I just do not understand the nerfing of the previously easy NM's.

See we have something in common. I also gave SE about a year to make the game playable (which was based on the fact that FFXI took about a year to be good ie. the NA release). The clock reset when the new dev. team came in. I thought it was unrealistic and somewhat unfair not to give them that benefit. I will likely give them longer than my own deadline of December 2011 though.

I guess I can agree with the push back of the "date" because of new Dev team.

I don't agree with the exact adjustment numbers but I do understand what they were attempting to do. Yes they were easy under their old structure (even if you were short handing them but let's assume you weren't or else it makes it even messier). They made them easier from where they were at 15-man difficulties to adjust them to the same relative level of ease assuming the new 8-man structure. Did that work out? Not really. Needs fine tuning (up not down).

And as a secondary point made directly below by Arkine. The system is kind of in flux at the moment. They might just be the right difficulty post battle system overhaul (or maybe they'll be even easier). We simply don't know.

IMO, Instead of scaling anything they should have first let people kill it under the old difficulty and new "party" system. Then begin with scaling it if it even needed scaling.

I support anything SE does that makes members of Perfection rage. GO SE!!!!

Thanks for the support, casual gamer.

Eh, it's clear the party buff is more of an in-general thing and not "making something easier", since in some MMOs, you get xp boost for full party/alliance, here? You get stat boosts that isn't even that big of a boost.

I agree with the wait, observe, adjust down as necessary approach (oddly enough that's exactly how the leve difficulty system is structured). Unfortunately they didn't copy their own leve system process.

Actual I'm all for hardcore gaming and more reward for high risk/time sink. I have a lot of hardcore members in my shell, all of them a great, what separates them and you is their sense of entitlement. They dont have one, they just want to have fun and want everyone else to have fun as well.

I cant say the same for your LS. And I'm pretty sure a majority of the FFXIV community agrees. So grats on segregating yourselves from the rest of the community, heavy is the crown I know I used to be the same type of person in AoC.

Are you following me?

I believe he responded to your post directed to him, so where would you get that he's "following you"?

And LOL at Krasus being a "casual gamer". Seriously. That made me giggle, a lot.

He trolled, failed, I responded.. Then he quotes me from 15 pages ago and responds?

Also, according to his lodestone I'd say he's a casual baddie in my book. 6months later and not even 1 rank 50 job?

Seems quite casual to me. Guess I have a different view on that.

Confirmed. We all get a kick out of their elitist posturing on Wutai, as much as you all get a kick out of it on the forums. Should change the name from Perfection to Preening Irrelevance.
