Question On HNM's

[Amage]

seriously, this game doesn't!
I don't get why people want to copy whatever was in FFXI to IV? Want those types of BS? Go back to FFXI.

If they removed abyssea from FFXI and did roll back yes i would . But you didnt understand any of my points Even if the events were even instance make them like dyna or einjar or salvage . or add hnm's that are worth a damn something people cant spam because they want to .

If stuff is on a 24hour window like XI HNMs it won't be A-OK. The gear would have to be comparable to that of the 15 minute NMs. If it's stronger, then there is no point in having the 15 minute NMs. If it's the same strength as the gear from 15 minute NMs, nobody will do it.

People are missing that larger picture.

People dont understand the 5 min repopp nm's like daddy longlegs is geard more to 30's job ppl
other nm's that flying eye thing is all mats
hnm's im talking about would drop gear like 5min pops and have higher rewards for beating a difficult hnm w/ titles given just saying this game is lacking this where people only socialize with there respected linkshell mates and never wonder off
when i did kings and sky i have meet many long time friends and many others in game friends now a days people want to gather many ls's to kill something . the mentality is with this game is every shell have main of 8 ppl and when big stuff comes out ppl ally with other shells to kill it , then here you go the drama on that random drop loot or 1st pt action gets everything everyone else screwed

Stop trying to turn XIV into XI.

i am not trying to change it just bring back competition to this game

It's fun when you claim it but it doesn't help in e-sports at all. Instanced HNMs is the only way to show your skills in my opinion.

to who all you need is to spam it million times and you have everything everyone has

[Amage]

I think you need some help brah.
You don't have to go with such a living condition,
pretty sure you can get engaged in live,
like get a job and some friends and stuff.
Maybe some anger management too.

Not good when you need a game to be your time sink,
so much other enjoyable stuff you could do irl.


Ontopic:
I'm all for HNMs on long respawn timers,
They should make them stupid hard tho, and i mean stupid hard.
Not like Ifrit or so, that is way too easy...
So hard that really most LSs can't beat it.

Because that gear should go to people who really deserve it,
and not to people who got the best third party program,
never liked that it was that way at a point in ffxi.


Sidenote:
On top of that... if they enabled proper gear swaps..
It would give people so many goals, to optimize their gear
by going for several pieces of gear.
Really not pleased with this 1 piece per slot situation.
New content just doesn't last long enough with 1 piece per slot imo.

OMFG you mentioned something i also love gear swaps but yeah dont make mobs easy make them all AV style lol j/p

Honestly....

They're just mad they never got a good LS in XI or someone out lot them.

Really?
Have you spent 4-6 hrs at a time camping KB, or Fafnir, or Aspid? How many times have you done that? I was part of a HNM LS on Leviathan, a LS that is still around, Crimson Rain, look it up if you don't believe me. I camped many many many times and the only reason we didn't get claim was either lag, or more often that not, bots.

So, you were either a botter, or you had no competition. How can anyone claim that spending 6 hrs every 2-3 days smashing a button to get claim (until they fixed that) is FUN?

I will not invoke the "have no life" clause, but seriously dude, do you think that is normal, to stay glued in front of a computer for that long for absolutely no rewards?

It is a f****** game after all.

The most rare and most wanted gear in the game should come from a good instanced raid, where the only obstacle in front of you is teamwork, not some computer geek with a bot outclaiming everyone.

The Biggest complaint i see on this thread is "Bots" and yes they were impossible to beat but do you really think Dev team would make it so you couldn't bot .

People say time sinks but that leads back to the bot thing were they would go everyday never get claim .

Now Look at crafting in this game 70% of ppl used serveral bots to lvl these craft before SP and XP boost so would you say you cant craft because someone else is botting their lvls no you still would even tho you are putting in the time and effort when its all said in done you feel accomplished

[Amage]

And dev team will never reply to this thread they rather answer pointless and completely non important question like "How much Yoshida Slept" do i care no answer the real stuff get to the grit

The Biggest complaint i see on this thread is "Bots" and yes they were impossible to beat but do you really think Dev team would make it so you couldn't bot .

The same thing could be applied to every mmorpg in the universe. We all know how it ends
NM with good drops and absurdly long time pop leap people to bot, it's a fact, and nothing you can say will render this reality false.
Saying "the devs could always find a way to be impossible to bot" it's like dreaming flying cars. The only bot-safe method existing it's istances :|

also, comparing NM's bots to crafting bots it's stupid since crafting bots don't get in your way getting rewarded for your time spent

[Amage]

well they can make ever changing conditions
