Beastman Strongholds

I can tell after reading this thread that I am definitely in the minority but open world content blows. I never played FF11 but I would like content added to be accessible for everyone (i.e. instanced). If this NM spawns say 4 times a day, people will memorize the time periods and camp there and not allow new LSs to try it out.

Very similar to the 4 Green dragons in wow. Guilds in WOW had lvl 1 dead characters at each spawn point and would log in repeatedly until it spawn and warn their guild.

Deep down I am a casual and I guess i'm just whining so I can see the content. Everybody else seems fine with it so I'll get used to it i'm sure but I don't like it. I'll just adapt my playstyle.

My money is on 5 to 15 min respawns, possibly forced pops.

they sound like davoi and stuff from ffxi, sounds like a good time to be had. lookin forward to seeing this.

Lots of beastmen trash to clear with a 5 min repop NM that you can zerg with 100 people with the new claim system.

Hope I'm wrong!

Actually, I'm hoping for forced pops, so they can add in new ones in the same area randomly over time..

What does the term forced pop mean typically? Kill enough elite mobs and the NM spawns? Levee starts the Nm?

Forced pop means trading an item (or items) you obtained from some other method in order to spawn a monster.

FYI JP players, and possibly RMT depending on where they are located, will see mobs spawn before EU and NA.

Trust me, if it were open, after 5 minutes you won't be able to stfu about how you want it instanced.

Awesome point and that is why in FFXI no NA linkshell on any server ever won claims against JP shells, it just never happened and so we all just hung out in Jeuno and bemoaned the damned server locations! Oh wait...

I don't care if they are instanced/popped/open world I'm looking forward to it.

what bothers me is if it really is open world than youre gonna have a whole server of r50s just piled in there fighting over the few Nms and treasures in there. its just going to be a giant cluster fuck of every LS with endgame people. everyones jhust gonna stand around in it and kill things as they pop. its almost gonna ruin the fun and challange of it all. i really hope you enter with a certain amount of people and work toward a goal instead.
