Highly Notorious Monsters

[AndySolace]

It's hyper.

Hyper-Notorious Monsters not Highly Notorious Monsters.

It refers to the fact that they have a rage timer.

Its Higher.

Higher Notorious Monsters, refering to their level.

The only debate has always been around the "N" > Is it notorious, or is it named? I personally go with notorious.

gd... i logged in just to post that...? Hmm

On topic: I'm all for HNMs. Love them, so, so much. I honestly want more non-instanced, rare, notorious monsters.

{Notorious Monster} was in the Auto-Translator. "Named Monster" was not.

They were called HNM before they had rage timers.

Instead of high re-spawn timer that will allow people to camp. It would be better as many suggestion to say "make it random spawn in many possible area" So people will see it by chance of luck instead of camping.
This is also make a good surprise encounter too.

That is actually a great tactic against claim bots... Although I am sure someone will come with some logical reason why this is silly...

The spawn area could be random across a zone...
It could just be very large so even a claim bot can't always get the drop on it...
or there could be 3 different spawn areas that it could randomly pop between

It already looks like SE was doing this with the original world NMs... giving them such a a large area that even a party of people using claim bots couldn't cover the entire spawn area

Hyper makes no sense, Highly does.

How can something be Hyper Notorious, do you know what Notorious means ?

[FilthyDisco]

Yes, please.

Roaming Dragons.
Giant Beasts.
High Respawn Timers.
Amazing Gear.

I know everyone crys foul over copy+paste ideas from Final Fantasy XI. But lets be honest, they were the reason alot of people played. The rush of getting claim over your enemy linkshells. Watching an awesome wipe. Seeing that ever-elusive item in the loot pool. So many amazing memories of great times.

This topic is about the possible implementation of non-instanced, highly notorious monsters to roam the open plains of Final Fantasy XIV.

I would like ideas, opinions, etc; on how we can implement something of this nature that caters to all crowds. Lets hear it.

who needs roaming HNMs when ever elusive loot drops from time chests rofl.....good goign SE.
Wtf we even have a open world if all the NMs/events are mostly Instanced now? Talk about a lifeless meaningless world in the end. I played Tera the otherday and it suffers from the same thing. Nothing but instance w/ fetch quest; Where you spam dungeons endlessly for crappy droprate gear.
Maybe tie chest drops to breaking NMs bodyparts ???? idk be a bit more damn original here SE. If the dungeons released continue to have nothing but the best gear coming from time chest and at a absurdly low rate then we might as well quit while where ahead. Theres a Fine line between tedious and fun and downright disappointing in this game.

Yeah, and XI is like bowling in an alley that's open randomly one hour a week and only let's one group of people in. Put if you're lucky enough to be that one group, the bumpers are still up when it comes to the actual bowling.
