[dev1026] Changes to Claiming and Engaging Enemies

[DGMart]

Well first off they could make it so those attacking that are not the main group gain no enmity. So if they want to help you kill faster then so be it. I'd rather watch someone wipe lol.

Oh big deal crybabies. This seems fine to me.

Because it is fine, the current system is trash.

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

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!

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.

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.

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.
