New NMs

[Keftenk]

You shouldn't have 21-24 hour HNMs. It's wasted effort on the devs' part. No one wants that ****. Look around you. There aren't even enough of you in this entire thread to even kill said HNM.

Perhaps if they spawned three times a day. NA primetime, EU primetime, and JP primetime it would be more reasonable.

But that would defeat the purpose of it being annoying to almost everyone but Scarface and his boys who bought fafnir egg timers and synchronized their schedules around it.

Completely unrelated, but I had a stopwatch that I dubbed the Lord of Onzozo stop watch ;v

If you a pimp and you know you don't love them hoes.

I know how much you care about the dev's time. LOL! It's really not that hard to just make it pop less, really. There won't be any egg hunts! :P

LOL. I think you should be more concerned about the 8 person party limit for the NMs we already have.

For the 100th time dude. That would make ToD even harder to track. If you are so against a freakin' time sink then why would you want to wait 5 hours just to get a ToD then gather for ONE kill? If it was 21-24 it would be in your time for a week or so and everyone would know when it was.

There is no need for time zones because it moves with the window. But this makes it obvious you didn't play XI enough to understand that.

I never even got anything from it, I was NIN and SAM only. I just want this game to be just as good as XI.

Fail.

"What time does Fafnir pop?"
"9pm est"
"But that was the pop time before the maintenance, what is it now?"
"9pm est."
"But I can't trackkkkk it now."
"It's always 9pm EST."

You don't even understand the discussion. You just run to the aery when your alarm goes off like a good harcore should.

What player tracks HNMS when they are designed to pop at 9pm in Europe, 9pm in North America, and 9pm in JP?

Just you dude. Just you.

This makes it a shit NM like what we have now... 3 times a day at the same time. Just because its 9pm JP doesn't mean NAs wont be all over it lol.

You completely missed the point of making gear rare. Completely.

Peregrine misses every point.

Well then you represent an irrelevant minority of players who has no chance at being heard. Again, you just want to look pretty and force the crowd to look different from you, because it's the only way anyone would ever respect you and Visch.

If you want your rare items - I'll gladly take a HNM that spawns once a week and randomly attacks an area. Either there are some people close by who can man up and kill it, or everyone wipes...so sad. Lower the drop rate to 1% and by the end of a year we might have one or two of the item floating around the world. And if "hardcore" folks want something to do, you can spend your time hunting these.

There are lots of ways to create rare items that don't involve sitting in a circle waiting on a pop. This might have been exciting when the functionality and capability at a dev teams control were more limited, but today it's just boring. You can have monsters that are not frequently found in the game, or that are hard to get to, and that have very low drop rates, or challenging conditions to spawn. Those are all at least interesting game mechanics. Your proposed solution is just boring gaming and not something that most of this community has an interest in dev cycles being wasted on.

No one said my way was the best, but to ignore it and bash people for saying it works doesn't make sense either. It does work, and it is NOT the only way to go about it. However, this does not mean it should not be in the game. Period.

You can't flame a thing here. You're the brunt of the joke. Again, look around you. You are an endangered species, and it's for a reason.

If Fafnir spawned during reasonable NA primetime every day, you and your merry band of harcores would never get the claim. You'd stay up to catch Europe spawn, but again. The Germans would roll you over easily as you've been up for 12 hours. You take a nap and try again for the JP spawn.

Latency and all. Sucks for you!

Not winning claim is better than having claim and wiping over and over again, which I'm sure is exactly what well see from you and your LS very soon (Thursday after 8 person capped parties).

Brunt of the joke because you don't agree? You're the brunt of the joke because you're part of a fail species that can't do anything without 15 people.
