Week long primal

[whiskeybravo]

Would it ever be possible to have something like the FFXII Zodiark battle in this game? An extreme primal with something like 100 million HP that you have the whole week to try and down? Would anyone find that interesting? I think it would be kinda neat if it saved progress then reset like other weekly raids.

Remember Absolute Virtue?
I don't quite think it could work out the same in this game.

What about that other boss that a group fought for 18 hours straight?

Pandemonium Warden?

I know neither of those references, was just thinking out loud really lol. It would be a different then what we've had so far, I just don't know if it's within the games ability to be able to do something like that without reworking everything. (being able to save a boss HP% between encounters I mean). Have like 4 chests with loot, a special mount, title, etc I think it would be a neat deal.

It was a stupid waste of time in FFXII and it'd be the same thing here.

Zzzzzz super long fate boss.
That would pretty much sum it up.
If they made it as hard as odin ppl would cry cuz if zodiark did a final move that wiped everyone in a proximity after 18 hours of fighting.
The forums would explode from all the pissed ppl.
So no SE would never risk doing that.

I think the time people would enjoy this type of thing has long passed. I remember in EQ1 waking the sleeper and people throwing themselves at it for hours trying to keep its HP going down was one of the more cool things to ever experience. Now a days though people don't have the patience to do something like that, it is just boring and a waste of time.

Ah, FFXI references. Unfortunately one of the FF games I never got to play.

IDK, boss fates don't really have mechanics, so there's room to make interesting mechanics for different phases in a long fight. And ideally you wouldn't really worry about wipes because recorded HP%.

Just "general discussion" not petitioning for anything really.. But if XI had stuff like that and it didn't work out or wasn't really embraced by the player base then it wouldn't be worth it to have it here.

People waste hours wiping or waste hours afk lol, at least you wouldn't be starting from scratch every wipe (ideally, I think)

I didn't find FFXII Zodiark that long. Now imagine if we had to fight FFXII Tiamat...
