New NMs

[Ranka]

People have said this too and I don't have any idea why. If you have such a problem with camping why would you want an NM that is on a timer like that??

It would make tracking the ToD a nightmare, not to mention organizing people to show up.

Would you rather show up once a day for 0 to 3 hours and be able to come back the next day? Or spend 5~6 hours waiting to see the NM and get ToD just to organize people to show up for a pop or 2?

Well if you have long term spawns that are 24 hours, or close to it, it makes it unfair to a internationally played game. The reason leve reset are 36 hours is to alter the time from the west and east so both can get a prime time reset.

If we have a 24 hour time spawn it will make it unfair to one side regardless of the spawn time. Now I am not against 24 hour spawn times, but neither am i for them. i rather have a 36 hour respawn then a 24 just so it would alter like the leve's between early morning and night. I can see where your comming from for a 24 hour spawn and it would make sense and probably take less of your time, just saying that for a lot of players that single window it spawns may not work.

You really just need to give it up. There is a reason why SE never came out with NEW 24 hr spawn NMs even back in FFXI. It's an old mechanic that has no place in modern gaming.

/sigh Did you play XI?

There was never a 24 hour spawn window it was a 0 to 3 hour spawn with a 21 hour cooldown. So it could respawn in 21 hours. Making the respawn window move. It might be in your time for a few days or a week then slowly go into JP time. It's fair.

What in god's name are you talking about? Every expansion came with newer NMs that had even longer or harder to time spawns. Tiamat and the other king wyrms, Hydra, Cerberus, and Khimaira. All the way to Sandworm and Dark Ixion that came out with WoTG.

You have absolutely no clue what you are talking about.

Everyone did have an O-hat, it didn't make the item any less useful, I don't understand why people have the need to parade around with rare items on, does it really make you feel that much better ?

No, it just seems a little pointless in playing when everyone has everything and there is nothing to strive for.

Meh. I'm just trying to keep pace with you.

Then don't play. PLEASE.

Keep pace with what? Failing to personally insult people and making stuff up? You're just upset because people are better than you. That's the way the world is. Sorry if it upsets you so much.

Strive to better yourself, not to be better than others ?

That's the way online games work. It's not communist where everyone gets everything. It's competition. No matter what someone is going to be better. It's a fact of life.

This thread is the biggest waste of bandwidth. 75 pages of the same thing repeated over and over. Redundancy is redundant.

Then don't add more? Most of it is people like you with nothing to say or people who don't even know what they're talking about.

Played well over 5 years ago, been awhile.

I still see what ya are saying, but in this game I do not think 24 hour window is the way to go. Reason being thus far, world NM spawns all drop crafted items used to make the gear. If it was a gear drop in itself, I would agree with long spawn times and even a lower drop rate. However a lot of items now if they are made from NM drops require more than one NM drop. Not saying we need 1 hour respawns, god forbid they make it any easier, but if its a craft drop this early in the game then I believe for a majority of people a medium time spawn, 8-12 hours(at most), with a window time that is one hour, maybe two would fit most in place with this games current direction. FFXI spawn times are decreasing to and 24 hour spawns are no longer going to be around, there is no point in adding it to FFXIV. Wanting 24 hour spawns is a fine thing, just do not expect it. We are still early on in the game, do not expect everything to be long and hard at this point, be patient and that will come at the later ranks.

Let's try to think from the SE view:

If SE make a lot of easy NM spawn 21hrs with incrediable equipment so player want to camp it...

-> EU players, US players, JP playsers will camp it try to voke it, a lot of frustration from loser but eventually some hardcore player will get it.

-> Hardcore will prove they're good by equiping it, also sell extra copy on AH/Ward with expensive price

-> Most Player who can't camp the NM will try their best to buy the rare drop, try makeing gils by crafting, farming, grouping with LS to fight HNM, event, to gain gil... or even skip the whole thing and buy gil on the web.

-> then a lot of RTM player will show up and camp for it,

In summary, hardcore player will play, regular player will play, RTM player will play.

Who benifit? SE and the whole community becuase a lot of player keep online to make the game more lively.

So, Why not ?

I'm sorry, but your entire post makes me question if you even play FFXIV. There isn't even an Auction House, nor RMT, because everyone is rich....

Moving on.

What makes gear rarity so important over challenging content? It's a ridiculous argument for the sake of being ridiculous.

Because CHALLENGING Content will eventually (1 month) not be a challenge and will be come routine, just like the mobs we have now. Make sense?

Another thing is that high level players are going to rape these mid ranged NM's just because they can, so good luck if your mid ranged and want a challenge.
