New NMs

[Arshy]

Need some dragons roaming Eorzea!

[Randis]

its just about some lame kids who would rather camp all day instead of fighting a real tough NM with a low drop rate.

Its those kids JP player laugh about, coz they confuse skill with gearing and botting 24h pops.

I liked this thread when we didn't name call one another.

Lets be civilized ladies and gentlemen, please.

Camping = Skills

NMs, hmmm.
i remember wasting a whole free week once to camp Kreuztet, just for a stupid dagger.
i bet everyone that remembers that son of a bitch knows that he only spawned like every 7 hrs or so, on top of that only during windy weather.
after a whole week of almost no sleep i ended up getting my sirroco kukri to drop at around 6 a.m. in the morning of my last free day.

win win win!!!!

after that week i never camped nms again.

i never had a ridill, but i had enough time to collect beastmen seals to get myself a kraken club.

I don't have the time to do the 24hr pops, my teen/bum days are long over, pulling all nighters going through kings and trying to stall kills to keep the buggers in our time slot, fighting against bots and stupid smug people thinking that their shit don't stink because they can down fafnir in 10mins got old a loooooong time ago.

While the current stuff are ridiculous like killing an NM only to see it pop right after, I'm very much against the 24hr pops, something in between like 3-4 hours is ok with me.

^This. No more to add on the subject.

Instead of luck based NMs why dont we just have instanced NMs that are actually tough, if the competing for a claim is the thrill you need you might wanna try a pvp game. In 2011 creating a system where a small part of the population wins and a large part of the population gets frustrated and loses isnt the best way to keep customers, this isnt 2004.

I am so totally, absolutely NOT with you OP.

Long gone are the days of camping a 72hr repop with god knows how long window time.

Sure, the sheer joy of getting claiming Vrtra and defeating it for the first time is .

BUT mindless camping and a system which rewards luck more than skill is a major NO these days.

I still remember spending an entire month camping for that freakin moldavite earring, god it was awful.
though the joy I had when it finally dropped was simply indescribable

but I'm sure as hell don't want to re-experience the dreadful time of "waiting" for repop, that is just plain stupid.

I'm ok with the current repop timer.

At the moment the population level of the servers isn't high, and this means that NMs can e hogged by just a few LSs. Of course they aren't planning for the population of the servers to be like that forever, and with more competition the the relatively short repop means that people will have a decent chance at downing the NMs.
