[dev1026] Changes to Claiming and Engaging Enemies

[Sav]

Watch out, people. The sky. It's falling.

[HokSeven]

Yay, a WoW claim system...

Let the mass of powerleveling exploits begin.

/thumbsdown

Edit: Oh, and say goodbye to open world NMs as well. The player griefing that this will bring in is sure to put the final nail in the coffin for them.

Why would people grief about NMs? almost all NMs pop with 15mins max pop window. If you claim, you get the spoils.

If you are a guy who wants to act tough and solo, we'll kill it fast and dont care what you want cause we need the next pop....

Hopefully this doesn't also mean someone could be walking along minding their own business when suddenly they're hit by an AOE from an enemy someone else was fighting because now all players can attack all enemies (unless it's a leve or behest monster). Sounds to me like if we can attack them at any time, that also means they can attack US at any time (like again, them using a big AOE attack that kills people running by), even if they're fighting someone else.

Wow... really...

The prob with NM's with this... there already easy enough, why would you want 40 people able to attack a mob designed to be killed by 6 or less, talk about easy mode.

I can already see the shouts of /shout Giant Buffalo rape <Do you need it.> 38/40!

from the 1st look , it look like it gonna be problem to hold hate while fighting rooming NM and some people may use that to MPK the 1st party to gain the claim and loot

QFT
i dont understand why this is even taking place. the only real complaints ive ever heard were for claiming NMs. in a more instanced centric game this is not a problem..... FFXIV's official direction is to be an instanced centric game.

[Jeronlmo]

Instanced only makes everything common, instead of limiting gear in any way, literally everyone can do it at any time, like now, dungeons lasted many groups maby 2 weeks, content completed > /logout til next update.

Your prob is that you hate competition... because your well... not good most likely.

[Raze]

Yes plzzzzzzzzz

edit: I got a phone call so if this topic is lame don't hold it against me I thought it was good.

From my experience, getting claim on roaming NMs has nothing to do with being "good." It has everything to do with proximity to the server and existence of bots. In my time in XI, the ability to claim went Bots > JP > everyone else.

I can't count how many times I saw mobs pop claimed.

I'm not saying all instanced content is the answer. But a system guaranteeing a fair chance at fighting is what is needed. Whether it be pop NMs, instanced fights or something new, I could care less if I ever see another open world NM.

hahaha because how well i can claim an NM defines how well i play my class. i dont want a game that is totally instanced, i want balance. however i think the claim drama from FFXI can suck my ass and never exist again. which is why i think the best boss gear shouldnt come from roaming NMs but from instances.

[Kireek]

Why does it seam all the Low lvl's people or people with only 1 50 Seam to Enjoy all the instances? how about this maybe they should bring new content out and make it hard to get, ya Claim wars and everything! then a year and a half later they can instance it for the Casual Players and sense you dont enjoy playing the game very much in the first place you will be happy!
