Highly Notorious Monsters

A 21 hour repop would move the HNM too rapidly throughout the time zones. The goal of a HNMLS is get claims consistently. Not claim... wait a few days... then get another chance to claim again.

Also, wouldn't that idea just replicate Atomos? Remember how everybody just showed up a few min before Atomos was due to pop? Then again, the servers are supposed to be more stable *shrugs*

It wouldn't be too different honestly. People that want to camp HNMs will show up at the start of the window. This number always fluctuates based on time zone, other events LS have planned, and how many people actually know the ToD. As for moving the NM rapidly though time zones, I can handle that if it means there is no silly waiting game. However, you also are going under the assumption that there would be a minimal amount of HNMs around. Add something like 20 HNMs and you'd be hard pressed to fight every single one of them along with doing instances in the day.

edit:

I take it you liked racing to Tiamat? I sure didn't like hearing how someone from another LS already claimed it... while I'm still on the way.

And I don't think I ever saw a competent group rage a HNM. They were always just a few min shy of the rage timer (even after holding). So yeah, the rage timer didn't really accomplish much.

Tiamat racing was more fun than waiting so yes, I'd take that. When my ls would lose claim to a race, we'd leave a mule to get ToD and carry on with our day while still being ready to race back if the group would wipe. As far as rage mechanics, XI's rage mechanic was super tame. It would take an hour for it to rage and even then, it would be a slowly increasing rage. XIV "fixed" rage timer by making the mob automatically hit for max damage right as soon as it hit rage and by not making it a ridiculous 1hr.
