    Future NM battles with new claim system

    With this new system, will it be possible for an entire linkshell to gather at an NM, everyone attacks it, it dies in 1 minute....

    I hope this claim system does not include NM's!

    I can picture hordes of people from a single LS just repeatedly slaughtering them.

    This is a concern for me. Can you clear this up please?

    Pretty sure they already said NMs are exempt from the new system and only the claiming party can attack it.

    From what I understand... they are moving away from World HNM's... you won't see Ifrit walking around just chilling in the sun getting some rays.

    Sure there will be ways to exploit the system... but I've seen plenty of videos of people solo'ing great buffalo and other "hard" NM's... so I don't see what the big deal is... especially with a 5 minute respawn.

    Its a similar claiming system that was in Everquest and it has like a billion expansions and is on of the longest running MMOs out there, don't worry it will work out.

    I looked but I can't find it. It was really old since it was when the new claim system was first announced and people made a big stink about it. The devs know it's an obvious concern, though.

    I also recall reading this, if it helps. WNMs should be fine still.
