Beastman Strongholds

[Royal]

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.

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!

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

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?

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.

That kind of bothers me alot. Seriously why are we attacking the beast tribes? That kinda ruins the whole plot of the story. We spend most of the main scenario around them, just to attack them after all that stuff went down?

I can see it now?

Jinrya>> Hey Mr. Amalj'aa, can you help me defeat the Empire? They want to kill us both.

Amalj'aa>> I guess, the enemy of my enemy is my fri...

Jinrya>> Ya, now I am going to kill you just cause.

Amalj'aa>> Wtf dude.

It's in the post:

Recent moons have seen a sharp rise in activity at Zahar'ak, which has sparked disquieting rumors among Ul'dahns of a full-scale assault on the sultanate.

So we'll prolly get a quest from uldah's company or something to check the stronghold fearing they might me plotting to attack Uldah.

True but if they are in doesnt that still make things better?

^.^ never said they don't make things better ^.^! I am looking forward to them! I was responding to another poster... Don't remember if I quoted them or not... (probably not) I am so excited to have a aggro place to test my sneaking abilitys for exploring again... Those are fun challenges to have with friends "lets see how far we can get in before any of us die! GO!"'

Also lol I go to sleep last night and He stopped posting as well FML!!! XD!!!! aw well at least the topic was salvaged ^.^!!!!
