New NMs

[Kilta_Firelotus]

Ixion and Sandworm were sort of like that. People still camped them.

As said before. Bots don't work.

Also, no one is forcing you to wake up at 4 am and camp it.

ixion was funny not much of an nm realy imo.

2 yes bots still happen they just tweeked their programs under the new claim rules


3 99% of the time a king spawn time was between 12am-6am. It was rare to have it during US time. I took time exploring the game when I hit 75 and went to the king pop areas never seen them up in the US morning. And I visited them regulary.

Its every 21-24, and its still not the fact that it can spawn every 21-24hrs, its keeping the gear rare, it needs to be fairly hard to kill, not pop that often, and low drop-rates on really good drops, if the whole server can get the item in a month its not worth puting in the game.

I could just imagine having the HNM's in 11 at 1hr respawns.

That's one way of looking at it, but you could look at it the other way, in that its fairly easy to get and they continue to release content, similar to how WoW does it.

Making something take all day to camp and wait for will go against the statement made when you select Start on the main menu.........

Didn't stop XI back in the day did it?

I consider casual people who plays to sight seeing and socialize.
I consider hardcore people who plays efficiently.
The time they put on the game as long as is not super-duper limited dont matter to me.If im having fun i can stay on for whole day when im off work sometimes.

Nope, its just about camping and butting.

I suggested in some earlier post to have a NM that spawns only once in a week (random dayP, in a completely random location, with a VERY low drop rate.
You can’t camp it, now that i would love!

Setting alarmglock to compete with some bots??? been there, done that.
no, thanks!

That is something i could live with , sounds fun, as long as they do spawn randomly somewhere and does not get tracked down to a few spawn locations.

Again, people would complain about something like DL with a 5% or less drop rate on shadow ring because everyone wouldnt have it in a month, and DL isnt/wasnt hard to get to, im sorry for your ls. like 12 people could get to DL in -1hr and change jobs to a zerg setup > re-enter > kill > warp out. Only reason for more people is to farm and still... 40? Maby 18.

40 people just means people dont know how to use tp/ws/hmp gear sets, food, proper pathing, prob wiping every 5min's.

[Abriael]

I find it massively funny that someone is still arguing that wasting a ton of time doing nothing else than waiting equals to be "hardcore" or to deserving more than others.

Bolded the key part. Times have changed. Thankfully.

You should understand that most HNM ls's are very large, given some people play much more than others, but its not always the same people around the clock, they invite people in most timezones so its always there ls getting drops, they take care of there own.

Even though i would love 21-24hr respawns with 1hr windows, 3hrs wasnt bad either. Do you really think we sat there for 3hrs strait? Even though its a 3hr window total, the actual windows were 30min's appart, people would do homework/eat dinner/spend time with familly then for 2 min's watch the screen and pay attention, if something popped, they take 5-10min's to kill then do w/e.

I dont think ive seen the 30min windows mentioned once.
